Modularity Lite is a minimally styled photo theme with a Custom Header and Custom Background. Even though it's minimally styled, the built-in grunge background and dark color give it a bit of edge. It's perfect for blogs that want to showcase photos and aren't afraid to bare their teeth.
The standout feature of Modularity Lite is its beautiful home page slideshow. Each photo in the slideshow will be a whopping 950 pixels by 425 pixels. That's huge! To get it working, first click Yes! I'd like to enable the optional home page slideshow in Appearance → Theme Options from your dashboard and click Save Options. Next make sure some of your recent posts have really large images–at least 950 pixels by 425 pixels. It's the first image in your post that will be used for the slideshow image. The number of slideshow images will match the number of blog posts showing on your home page. You can change that number from your WordPress.com dashboard at Settings → Reading.
And that's it! Once you've started adding large images to your recent posts, the Modularity Lite theme will take care of the rest!
While you're visiting Appearance → Theme Options there are a few more options you might want to check out.
You can choose whether or not to have a sidebar in your theme–no sidebar means more room for full-width photography–and fill out an optional Welcome Message. The Welcome Message will appear just above the optional slideshow.
Additional Color Scheme
Dark grunge not your thing? Perhaps the light grunge will suit your fancy. Modularity Lite offers a light color scheme that you can select in Appearance → Theme Options.

A.Pacific State (DFRNT Vs 808 State RX) / Passion (DFRNT Vs Gat Decor RX)
: LosBud, LOSBUD122102
1. Pacific 212 (DFRNT remix)
2. Passion (DFRNT remix)
Out 7th November, apparently
The elusive LOSBUD imprint is back after a nearly 4 year hiatus, and returns with two classic remakes of two equally timeless tunes of the the late 80's/early 90's nexus of modern electronica.
As many have foreseen, Dubstep and Garage in its contemporary form has managed to fuse to and reinvent many of the other genres around it, with results that often make one wonder what these original elements and examples would have sounded like had the progenitors been doing their pinnacle work in modern times. With this 12" DFRNT allows for a window into two of those possibilities, as his effortless yet ingenious testament of each seems to fit so perfectly to the original framework and traits that one has to wonder if this is how they would have been made, should they have not existed until now. In doing so, DFRNT does what few have accomplished before, in that he manipulates a classic into something that is far from a degradation (as it often is in these cases), and closer to a strong candidate for a direct alternative, and perhaps even an advancement and outright improvement, thanks to the man, the tools, and a true understanding and respect for the elements and their inherit nature.

The California Solar Initiative (CSI) is overseen by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and provides incentives for solar system installations to customers of the state's three investor-owned utilities (IOUs): Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE) and San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E). The CSI Program provides upfront incentives for solar systems installed on existing residential homes, as well as existing and new commercial, industrial, government, non-profit, and agricultural properties within the service territories of the IOUs.
The CSI Program expanded state support for solar technology and is the product of Governor Schwarzenegger's "Million Solar Roofs" vision for the State of California. The CSI Program was authorized by the CPUC through a number of regulatory decisions throughout 2006. In addition, the legislature expressly authorized the CPUC to create the California Solar Initiative in 2006 in Senate Bill 1 (Murray). When it launched in January 2007, the CSI Program built upon nearly 10 years of state support for solar, including other incentive programs such as the Emerging Renewables Program (ERP) and the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP). Both the SGIP and ERP programs still provide incentives for other energy technologies, but no longer support investments in distributed solar.
The CSI Program has a budget of $2.167 billion over 10 years, and the goal is to reach 1,940 MW of installed solar capacity by the end of 2016. The goal includes 1,750 MW of capacity from the general market program, as well as 190 MW of capacity from the low income programs. The general market program is the main incentive program component of the CSI, and is administered through three Program Administrators: PG&E, SCE, and California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE) in SDG&E territory.
In addition to the general market program, the CSI Program has four other program components, each with their own program administrator and 10 year budgets:
In addition to the CPUC's CSI Program, Senate Bill 1 envisioned that the State of California would also have other programs to support onsite solar projects, including the California Energy Commission's New Solar Homes Partnership (NSHP), and a variety of solar programs offered through publicly owned utilities (POU). The statewide effort includes the CSI – as well as the NSHP and the POU programs – and it is known collectively as Go Solar California. The statewide goal of the Go Solar California campaign is 3,000 MW and there is a statewide budget of $3.3 billion. The CSI Program is a subset of the wider solar effort in California.
Table 1. Go Solar California Campaign by Program Component, 2007-2016
The CSI Program is designed to be responsive to economies of scale in the California solar market – as the solar market grows, it is expected solar system costs will drop and incentives offered through the program decline. The CPUC divided the overall megawatt goal for the incentive program into 10 programmatic incentive level steps, and assigned a target amount of capacity in each step to receive an incentive based on dollars per-watt or cents per-kilowatt-hour. The MW targets in each incentive step level are assigned to particular customer classes (residential, commercial, and government / non-profit) and allocated across the three IOU service territories, in proportion with each group's contribution to overall state electricity sales.
Once all the MW targets in a particular incentive step level are reserved via CSI application, which can occur at different times for each customer class in each utility service territory, the incentive level offered by the CSI Program automatically reduces to the next lower incentive step level. This creates a demand-driven incentive program that adjusts solar incentive levels based on local solar market conditions.
Figure 1 below shows how CSI incentives decline as the program progresses through the 10 steps and more MWs are installed. The CSI incentive levels have declined by customer class and utility, from January 2007 to the present. See the CSI Trigger Tracker for currently applicable step levels.
Figure 1. Overview of the CSI Step Level Changes
The CSI Program pays solar consumers their incentive either all at once for smaller systems or over the course of five years for larger systems. Smaller systems receive an upfront, capacity-based incentive that is adjusted based on expected system performance, called the Expected Performance-Based Buy-down (EPBB). Larger systems receive incentives based on their actual performance over the course of five years, called the Performance Based Incentive (PBI). These two incentive tracks are explained in more detail in the Table below.
In 2005, the CPUC began developing the CSI program under Executive Order and later in 2006 under State law. First, the CPUC and California Energy Commission issued a joint report in June 2005 that developed an analysis of key issues related to development and implementation of the California Solar Initiative. The CPUC also opened Proceeding (R.) 06-03-004 to work with stakeholders to develop the program.
On December 15, 2005, the Commission issued D.05-12-044, an order that modified existing solar incentive levels and directed CPUC staff to provide recommendations on the program's design. On March 2, 2006, the CPUC opened Proceeding R0603004 to work with Parties through public comment to develop the program.
On January 12, 2006, the CPUC issued an Interim Order that set initial policy and funding for the program. The CPUC was nearing an August 24, 2006 Commission vote on proposed incentive level design, administrative structure, and planning schedule, when SB1 was signed into law on August 21, 2006. While SB 1 codified the state's commitment to the creation of a self-sustaining solar market, it also introduced several unanticipated requirements for the program. In order to conform to state law, the CPUC then worked with Parties to issue a proposed decision on SB1's impacts to the CSI program for public comment; this decision was approved by Commissioners on December 14, 2006. The program launched on January 1, 2007.
The California Solar Initiative replaced two prior solar programs administered by the California Public Utilities Commission and the California Energy Commission through the end of 2006 (CSI started on January 1, 2007):

Tomorrow (Sept. 6) marks 35w for me. So far, so good, though I've had a few questionable BP readings at home lately (which I've shared with my doctor of course). Last night I had a 137/91, I went to the bathroom and laid down for a little bit and it was back to a better range. But still, ugh! Don't wanna see numbers go up like that.
Everything on paper is going as it should this time. I'm measuring appropriately, my weight gain is fine, protein is fine (dipstick tests). I *should* be comforted by that, but I'm still feeling some anxiety.
I feel like a ticking time bomb, ya know?
My OB hasn't scheduled any extra ultrasounds or tests or anything. I guess that's ok? I mean, as of now I'm fine. I'm starting weekly appointments now.
I don't have an induction scheduled, though that could happen between 39-40w if everything else is still normal. That part is a bit stressful for me, too. Oh, and thinking about laboring or just plain being on mag. Rotten stuff.
I think I just need to get in the mindset that what will be will be, and try to think positive. It's hard, though!

Becoming a good upstream neighbor
By Randy Graves
The recent flooding and associated widespread property damage caused by Hurricane Irene are perhaps unprecedented since the Mad River Valley was originally settled in the mid 18th century. But the geologic history of both the rivers and streams of our area tells a story of continuous and frequent fluctuation in the location of the stream channel as it literally meanders within the valley floor. Warmer rainwaters and colder snowmelts give the river channel volumes of water and, succumbing to the demands of gravity, it all immediately begins to flow down valley.
Rivers and streams are dynamic bodies of water and sometimes, as we enjoy the rivers and streams for our pleasure, we forget that they can, at times of flood stage, be quickly and surprisingly destructive. These active bodies of water seem to have a mind of their own at times and this notion is actually truer than you might expect or imagine.
Simply because water flows downhill, all the while seeking a path of least resistance, a river's course and purpose is dynamic; it is constantly undergoing change. Regardless of what attempts man can make to confine a river's course or to modify its behavior, the energy derived from its flow downstream cannot be abated. At best, it can only be redirected. In fact, often is the case whereby when trying to contain a river's channel, we mistakenly create situations where the contained waters actually gain more energy and, as a consequence, gain more destructive capacity.
There is a simple balance that stream and river scientists study that evaluates a river's volume of water, its speed and the amount of debris or sediment that the same water can contain. Rivers with more volume and greater speed can, of course, move greater and heavier objects. When the river channel is more confined (narrow) the water must flow even faster, making the ability to carry and move heavier objects even greater. If you think of this in another way, though, if you allow the river to widen, then the volume and energy of that same river is then more spread out. Even though immediate flooding may occur, the potential for more large-scale damage is reduced greatly at early flood stages.
Part of the job of a river is to move sediments: rocks, gravel, sand and silt. The instant that the river's flow (speed) lessens these sediments are then "dropped" by the river. A river certainly does not discriminate between a large rock or a gas tank, a tree trunk or a section of retaining wall. It all goes downstream carried by the momentum of the water and directed by the channel's course. How often do we all catch ourselves gazing at the calmness of a river or stream and when in flood stage, we then marvel at the destructive power of that very same channel. The same river but with very different personalities.
The state of Vermont, supported by riverside communities, has begun an evaluative and educational program targeting the FEH or Fluvial Erosion Hazard. This is a state-funded initiative to, in very practical terms, help all Valley (floodplain and fluvial area) landowners become better examples of "good upstream neighbors" through a better and more fundamental understanding of stream dynamics. There simply could not be a better time to have this discussion than during the aftermath of Irene. Through talking with our neighbors and sharing stories, opinions, information and concerns, we can, as a community, minimize the overall impact of the next flood. For surely, the next Irene is not a matter of "if" but a matter of "when."
Graves is a member of the Warren Planning Commission.

Loved this game in its time but a 7 year old game in this current market with its pay model is not gona cut it for me. The F2P content is way to restrictive for me to be tempted to play again. GW2 B2P model IMO is the way to go. This 15 bucks a month to get all content is sad and outdated. Will I consider playing Vanguard again? Sure, if they make a fair for this market payment model. Heck I would resub for 5 bucks a month.

You dont need to subscribe in order to access crafting, actually I think you would save considerable money by not subscribing if crafting is what you want to do. You would occassionally need to unlock a few pieces of gear. At 50 Station Cash each piece of gear, it would take quite a few pieces of gear to equal what a subscription costs.

I am not against putting money into a game if I like it, but this game almost requires a sub or it will steadily deplete your wallet.

for levels 86+, you will want to sub to EQ2 because the DOV content is more challenging

Three spheres with tons of quests and quest limit is 15 vs 40 for eq2 and 15 for eq1(quests were never a means to level,limit has zero impact).
Far less bank and bag space in vg for returning as well as brand new players in vanguard than either eq1 or eq2.
Items are far,far,far,far more restricted in vanguard than either eq1 or eq2. There are fewer quests with restricted gear as rewards in eq2 and mastercrafted in eq2 is better than blue crafted in vanguard. Eq1 you can use the best gear (defiant) all the way to 75ish before you ever have to even consider other choices. Not only is gear far more restriced but with three spheres usingf gear it also has a much greater impact.
Money restrictions are similar for all three. The fact the 2p limit has no impact up until the 50's does not negate its crippling effect . It is absurdly small for those 51+.
Between the quest limits,item restrictions,and space limits the game is in fact nearly unplayable at lower levels and certainly at higher levels. The restrictions certainly remove any enjoyment and sense of purpose to playing.
Until there are options to buying more bank space,inventory space,quest slots,coin limit,etc the game isnt free to play your way. Its sub or be gimped and nickel and dimed.

Vanguard is by far the worst? Are you kidding me? It's significantly more permissive than both the EQ1 and EQ2 F2P matrices - it's no more restrictive than the LOTRO matrix, the shift is simply on itemization instead of blocking off content.
Stating that items are more restricted than in EQ1 and EQ2 is horribly misleading. Yes, on a sheer number of restricted items basis, you're correct. However, in both games the gear is only less restricted up to a certain point in the expansion progression, at which point your options are to sink a lot of money into unlockers or subscribe - the same as in Vanguard. Zero effective difference.
The one area I will agree it's effectively more restricted is crafting and diplo - not that it limits your ability to progress in either sphere by being more restricted.
As far as all the rest: god forbid a company design a game's F2P system to actually, you know, make money. We all know that MMOs cost nothing to maintain and develop, after all. And it's not like literally every truly F2P, unrestricted MMO has either failed or is currently stumbling its way towards failure due to a lack of funding or anything.

I really don't get this moaning nowdays. First you say it's great game, then you say F2P is faulty and yet you refuse to pay any money, seriously?!? If it really is that great game people should be subbing it instantly after trying F2P, but they aren't. I find Vanguard, yet again, over hyped and not that good game. It was and is a betamax in DVD world.
There is no free meals, get over it.

Haha WOW. This website has lost ALL credibility. They give SWOTR and AoC 9s but they give VANGUARD a 6.5??
The crafting and diplomacy a "chore"? You mean, two of the biggest features of the game, with more depth and reward than almost any other crafting system?
And not a word about how unique the classes are?
And a limiting FTP system? The only FTP system that's more open ended than Vanguard is Aion, and thats because they're funded by Asian subs. I can play 6 classes to level 55 for free, and I can play ANY class to level 20. Beyond that, there's absolutely NOTHING that would interrupt gameplay. Every zone dungeon and quest, free.
Christ, gave "innovation" a score of 6 because "when delving further into the game features, such as the Diplomacy and the Crafting system, it becomes very complicated, and highly time consuming." My freaking god.
And for longevity you say "oh well the game has a TON of content but that doesn't count, I just didn't think it was cool so...6!"

The sad thing is that this game really needs a good review on sites like this at this time. This review seems based on a small part of the gameplay and dont give the game the justice I think it deserves and needs.
I really hope someone else from mmorpg.com sits down with Vanguard to do a re-re-review as I believe it deserves more than the 6.5 it got.

I really hate the "you can level to xx with no problem" argument. It's not about the "can you". It's about is it "fun and compelling" to do this.
I dropped down to silver a few months ago in EQ2 with my character in the mid 80s. I had a couple hundred plat and nice gear. Now my inventory is full of stuff I can't vendor because I am over the plat cap. I have to make new gear or spend money on gear I'll have to replace in 5 levels. It's not fun.
The poster who replied to Ozmodan earlier either has never tried a real F2P model or he just subs, loves the game, and has a hard time swallowing that most other people don't. SoE charges 2012 prices for games from the middle of the last decade.

Complicated doesn't mean deep and engaging. It just means complicated and infers it's non-intuitive. I find the Norrath card game just as ridiculous in EQ2. A card game, to play out a political system, in an mmo.... really? The 300 people who play the game much find that "deep". The 20 million other gamers in the world don't.

I would say that the biggest issue right now is not the "free to try" model, but the state of the game itself.
From reading the posts on the officiel forums it sounds like the big groups have stopped raiding all together since it is impossible cause of the lag and crashes and glitches.
And it sounds like the dev's (of which there are about 8), don't even know about half the bugs.
I really got excited after trying the game untill seeing just how buggy and laggy it all is, it feels like a really solid game if it would just work.
SOE's investment into this game is far too little to save this wreck... sadly.
Originally posted by Nadia
Which is done intentionally because SoE have a terrible F2P model and want a cash grab. Sorry but the SoE F2P models are the absolute worst, and do not inspire anyone to give them any money, which is why their servers are so dead.
Originally posted by kulhat
To be fair, the devs are mostly new, and the ones that arent were brought back after more than a year break from working on the game. So they arent really expected to know all the bugs. Vanguard has been working with a skeleton staff since the Isle of Dawn failed to bring any new players in.
I don't think SoE ever planned to turn this into the next big thing, they are just opening the doors up a bit more and keeping the lights on to milk a bit more money from it.

Well Nadia good for you, sure you can level to 85 without spending a dime, but really, you are missing a lot of the game doing so. What is the point of that? Again I am not against spending money on a game I enjoy and I did spend money on EQ2, but I got tired of having to constantly spend money on the game. You might just as well sub. All of SOE's f2p games are exactly like that. I just felt that time has passed EQ2 by, it just was not worth the sub any more.
That is exactly why, when I saw all the restrictions on Vanguard, I just gave it a pass. SOE just does not get how to appeal to the f2p audience. I do have an existing Vanguard account too, played for the first 6 months of the game.

You start off by saying that you're not against spending money on games you enjoy, but you're tired of having to constantly spend money on the games.
That mindset is not compatible with MMO development and support.
Without continuing income, they cannot provide continuing development, and eventually they run out of money. It's a very simple concept, and it's been played out time and time again across the games development world as a whole. Either they make the game, release it, and that's it except for bug fixes, or they continue to try to develop new content and fail financially due to lack of a revenue stream.
No company in their right mind should "appeal to the f2p audience" as you're representing that audience. There is zero reason to want to attract a crowd of players who will bring you inadequate revenue - you can't even point to word of mouth increasing the game's popularity, because more players won't significantly increase the revenue stream.
Even if they'd limited the cash shop to strictly vanity and appearance items, there's a limited return on that - many F2P players don't buy that crap at all, and the ones that do typically don't buy it on a constant, ongoing basis.
That's precisely why SOE uses hybrid F2P models. A true F2P system doesn't provide enough predictable revenue to run your company.
I genuinely fail to understand this mindset. An MMO subscription is almost literally the cheapest form of on-demand entertainment possible.
Originally posted by Ziyadah
You make a lot of assumptions in your reasoning, but the highlighted piece stands out the most. Where do you come up with that? The F2P market is more profitible than the P2P market by a long shot. There is a huge reason to attract a large volume of players to a massively multiplayer online game. Accepting potentially smaller revenue per account is acceptable because math says so when your base is magnified factors larger than subscription games.
Restructering how SoE approaches the payment model doesn't mean they have to remain unprofitible and assuming that is the only option here is what has led us down this path of ridiculous pricing models. Then you go on to say something really silly about the predictibility of the F2P business model when it has been wildly successful.
Don't stop there because you top yourself with a subscription being the cheapest form of on demand entertainment. If you include all game genres and payment models, and no other forms of entertainment, the subscription model is guaranteed not be the cheapest form. A F2P game can always be cheaper. A B2P game will be cheaper after a short period of time which is likely to be one month.

I wasn't really trying to say that leveling in EQ2 isn't fun. It is a lot of fun. It's the idea that because one can level without paying a dime that missing out on a lot of the other fun stuff is somehow okay that bothers me.
I played EQ2 to the 80s not only for the leveling. I played for the interesting quest chains. My deity quest chain was one of the most interesting and (forgive my word invention here) role-playey adventures I've been on in any game.
But those weren't all the reasons I leveled where I did. I also enjoyed crafting Master Crafted gear (before it got neutered) and doing crafting quests. I enjoyed grinding faction. I loved to collect shinies, play the market, buy more shinies, sell rare drops for lots of money, and do overland Epics with my guild. But wait, that's not all. I loved, almost more than anything, collecting housing items from heritage and L&L quests along with all the other cool housing fluff to be found. Most of all, as a Fae Warden, my character loved to make his house into a zoo by gathering collectible pets. I loved getting rare drops and equipping them to improve my character. I glossed over the broker, but it was my favorite AH type of trade system in most any game I played because it was a mini-game all its own that had multiple purposes to it.
A very large portion of that fun was ripped out of the game with SoE's "F2P" model from day one it was implemented. I guess it's a matter of knowing what you've lost when it's gone. When you know how fun the game can be, settling for second best just feels kind of empty and unfulfilling.

Poll: Best chicken fried steak in San Antonio?
'Texas Chicken Fried Steak Day' was Saturday, and readers say we missed S.A.'s best.

Is it the breading, the cook time, the gravy, the consistency of the meat? All will agree that there's one place in town that captures the essence of what chicken fried steak should be: Nolan's Original Poorboys. It's no wonder. They've been serving the goods for three generations. Step up to the counter staffed with friendly employees and order the generously-size portion, that's fried just right, with a perfect blend of meat and breading and topped with piping hot gravy. Don't forget the traditional sides of homemade mashed potatoes and green beans cooked with onion and bacon. Then there's the warm, sesame seed-topped bread, which anyone who's from here knows about, to complete the meal. If in town, ask anyone where it is. They'll know how to get there.

That's at Billy's Oak Acres BBQ, a new smokehouse in a 50-year-old barbecue-and-beer tavern near Lake Worth. Pitmaster Billy Woodrich has worked in more expensive "cowboy cuisine" restaurants. He serves a high-dollar chicken-fried steak for a lunch-special price. But it's so much work that he only makes it one day a week: Thursdays. (Any other day, drive an hour west to Strawn and legendary Mary's Cafe,)

Photo By Steve Campbell/CourtesyFlorida's Kitchen, in tiny Livingston, likes to crow about its smoked ribs and fried catfish. Both are fine choices and served in epic portions. It's the chicken fried steak, however, that lures us to this neck of the piney woods. The CFS has been known to hang over the plate at this cafe, which has been feeding the locals for 20 years. The steak's snow white gravy is flecked with pepper and the breading is in a perfect crunchy proportion to the tender steak. You'll be stuffed, so take one of Florida's amazing slabs of Italian Cream Cake to-go.

The milk-battered chicken fried steak comes in two beefy slabs per plate with a fistful of fries and a generous ladle of creamy gravy. A simple green salad is appropriately served on the side. It's a feast — and a fair deal — for under $13.

Photo By CourtesyHead to the heart of downtown Midland for the city's best chicken fried steak. Wall Street Bar & Grill is a long-time Midland establishment specializing in steaks and seafood. For about $10 diners can dig into Wall Street's lightly breaded and crispy chicken fried steak. The meat is consistently tender and leaner than similar entrees served elsewhere. Wall Street's thick, peppery cream gravy perfectly complements the meat and the basil mashed potatoes — our recommended side — balance some of the heaviness of the dish. Start with a salad topped with vinaigrette and blue cheese crumbles and finish with a Gold Brick — ice cream topped with a hard chocolate shell.

Photo By WILLIAM LUTHER/CourtesySo many chicken-fried steaks, so little room in the stomach. Lots of places in San Antonio can claim to serve the best chicken-fried steak in town, but our vote goes to Radicke's Bluebonnet Grill. Just off I-10 East, this restaurant serves a version of the Texas diner classic that's worth seeking from any part of town. Crisp, well-seasoned batter surrounds a tender piece of beef with plenty of flavor of its own. The batter retains much of its texture even after a generous ladling of tasty cream gravy. Add a side of sweet and buttery corn and made-from-scratch mashed potatoes, it's a hearty and tasty dish that feeds the tummy and the soul.

Photo By CourtesyNorth Texans take their chicken fried steak seriously. Cowboys have been pounding stringy beef into edible submission since the days of the Chisolm Trail, a skill that was ultimately refined by good Christian women and passed through the generations. The specimen you see above is the work of the Parkway Grill & Club in Wichita Falls, a sports bar and grill that specializes in dude food that first follows the most important rule — "It's hot, it's brown and there's plenty of it." Their CFS is delicious.

'Texas Chicken Fried Steak Day' was Saturday, Oct. 26 officially. To celebrate the event, we asked newspapers around the state to chime in on their city's best chicken fried steak, and we included one of our own. Our food writer chose Radicke's Bluebonnet Grill as the best place in San Antonio to chow down on the southern delicacy, but several readers say we got it wrong.
Take the poll on the right, and let us know your favorite chicken fried steak joint in San Antonio.

The Ashe County Beekeepers Association held its 2013 Winter Short Course at Family Central Saturday, featuring presentations by veteran beekeepers designed to educate and encourage beginners who are starting their first hives this spring.
"The ACBA exists to expand the knowledge of people, not only in our area but statewide, to the beekeeping craft," said ACBA board member Doug Ehrhardt, an entomologist who lectured on the biology, anatomy and caste system of the honey bee.
Other slated speakers included Theresa Haislip, who spoke on the honey bee's role in human history, Lyn Soeder, who gave an overview of beekeeping equipment, and Greg Hershner, who detailed hive design, set-up and upkeep.
Approximately 12 novice beekeepers attended the free, eight-hour course.
"They loved it," said Shelley Felder, proprietor of The Honey Hole, who gave a presentation on controlling diseases and parasites affecting honey bees. "They had no idea it was so involved."
"Our mission is community education, teaching people to be good stewards of the bees," Felder said.
The 56-member ACBA will be receiving an official charter from the N.C. State Beekeepers Association on March 14. North Carolina has more commercial and hobbyist beekeepers than any other state, Ehrhardt said.
"Our organization works to educate everyone about bees, support our membership who are already engaged in beekeeping, and extend the invite to anyone who may desire to get started in the fascinating science of beekeeping," he said. "We meet monthly, primarily to exchange ideas and discuss best practices for the purpose of keeping our 'girls' healthy."
"The importance of beekeeping can't be overstated," he said. "Almost two thirds of everything we eat in this country is pollinated by bees."
The need to increase the number of beekeepers — especially hobbyist beekeepers — is urgent, Ehrhardt said. The epidemic of Colony Collapse Disorder in recent years, and the ever-present use of pesticides in the U.S., including some chemicals already banned in Europe, have threatened the honey bee population nationwide.
"In Ashe County, the proximity of any beekeeping effort to the other major commercial crop, Christmas trees, means that there needs to be a heightened awareness of the potential for improper pesticide applications that could do irreparable harm to bees while trying to bolster tree production," he said.
"I am raising bees more for the bees than the honey," said ACBA President Harry Galer. "I am alarmed at the sudden drop in honey bee population throughout the country, and it is my hope that I might play a small part in helping reestablish a strong honey bee population."
For more information on the ACBA or to learn more about getting involved in beekeeping, contact Harry Galer at: firstname.lastname@example.com

What Lies Within
by Stephen Gascoigne
I am always fascinated by what goes on in other people's practices. What people do they see? How much do they charge? How often do they treat people? Do they use acupuncture or herbs or both? How do they decide? A thousand and one questions, some of which are merely voyeuristic and others which can shed light on our own work and inform the way we practice.

McFarland Earns National Recognition
- Release Date:
- July 17, 2012
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
KANSAS CITY, MO – On July 10th, the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) announced the 2012 NABC Honors Court team which recognizes junior or senior varsity athletes who have earned a 3.2 cumulative grade point average (or higher) at an NCAA Division I, II, III or NAIA institution. Hilbert College's Dan McFarland (Lancaster, NY/St. Mary's) was one of 467 student-athletes who excelled on and off the basketball court during the 2011-12 year with McFarland being the only athlete recognized from the ten-team Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC).
On the court, McFarland's 483 points (17.9 ppg) and 58 steals led the Hawks (11-7) to a 4th place finish in the AMCC league standings. Additionally, the 6'1 junior guard pulled down 140 rebounds and distributed 86 assists which earned him an AMCC 1st Team All-Conference selection and helped guide Hilbert to a 15-11 overall finish. His 1,168 career points places him at #7 in Hilbert's All-Time scorers list.
Off the court, the criminal justice major maintains a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 through his six semesters at Hilbert.
Follow this link to read the full NABC release.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

COMPASS, Zepf Center agencies to mergeWritten by Danielle Stanton | | email@example.com
COMPASS, a recovery agency for substance abuse, is merging with Zepf Center, a mental health agency, in a move that will streamline and expand services for patients with mental health and substance abuse issues, said COMPASS Board President Bill Takacs.
"Those individuals who have been receiving services will continue to receive them," Takacs said. "What this merger will enable us to do is offer an effective and more efficient way of providing services in both arenas.
"There are a lot of people with substance abuse issues who also have mental health issues and, similarly, there are a lot of people with mental health issues who [have] substance abuse issues."
Takacs said the agencies, which will retain their respective names and locations, will be able to treat those with both mental health and substance abuse issues "quicker, better and cheaper."
There will be no disruption in services and no services will be dropped as a result of the merger, Takacs said. Services for children and adolescents will be added.
"If anything, we anticipate an expansion of services," Takacs said. "There's not a lot of services to children and adolescents in our community and we are very hopeful this merger will facilitate an expansion of services to children and adolescents."
It's being touted as a merger, but in essence Zepf will be acquiring COMPASS, because Zepf is the larger of the two agencies with a bigger budget, Takacs said. A COMPASS board member will now serve on Zepf's board.
"I think it's a wonderful opportunity for both organizations to expand what we already do so well individually and do it in a cost-effective manner," Takacs said.
"We are excited to join forces with COMPASS and expand care and treatment to those who need it in Northwest Ohio, particularly here in Lucas County," Jennifer Moses, CEO of Zepf, said in a statement. "Our timing is optimized by the planned expansion of Medicaid services here in Ohio through Gov. [John] Kasich, which will help us reach even more of those in need.
"I used to work for COMPASS and am very familiar with its services and clientele," Moses continued. "We have been in periodic talks with COMPASS about combining forces and our timing benefits everyone."
Zepf Center opened in 1974 and is named after Elizabeth A. Zepf, a Toledo resident who was active in mental health organizations. Zepf Center works to treat the whole person through psychiatric care, care coordination, residential support, case management, therapy and career development services. Zepf Center has six locations in Lucas County as well as two apartment buildings and two group homes and serves more than 5,000 individuals a year.
Since 1971, COMPASS has been providing services to Northwest Ohio residents and offers short-term residential treatment, outpatient treatment services, court-ordered drug treatment, medically assisted detoxification services, DWI programs and a new gambling treatment program. COMPASS will continue to operate out of its Collingwood Boulevard location in Toledo's Old West End. Its SASI (Substance Abuse Services Inc.) division, which provides medically assisted treatment to those with drug addictions, will keep operating at its 12th Street facility.

Myths which are believed in tend to become true.
George Orwell
Every fall, the publishing industry begins a new cycle of hitting bookstore shelves with diet books, just in time to help assuage winter holiday guilt and prepare for New Year's resolutions. At the same time, TV stations are in the throes of sweeps periods and launching a new season. You know this is in
full swing when you start hearing the local news and talk show pitches: "You can lose 10 pounds in one week and eat whatever you want!" or "A common
ingredient in your kitchen that will burn off fat without exercise! Tune in at 11 to see what it is!" Then, in the next media cycle, there will be new
books and news stories telling us how the miracle cures were all a load of hooey, but that there are brand-new miracle cures that really work! Here are
some common myths that have gone in and out of fashion over the years and the real truth behind the hype.

attributes for a car. However, we want our bodies to be "gas guzzlers," meaning that we don't want to run all day on a small amount of food or
"gas." We want our engine/metabolism to require more food—the right food—to keep us running fast and lean.
So how do we keep our appetite on cruise control? Here are 10 great tips to keep the calories burning, and your hunger satisfied—a winning

This quilt went together SO fast. I did a medium meandering pattern (aka stippling) and my Bernina was on its BEST behavior. So in other words no "choice" words were used in the quilting of this quilt. :) The backing is from the Blossoms line by Urban Chicks for Moda, its discontinued but I still see it here or there in quilt shops.
I prewashed and dried the batting that I used in this quilt and on my last wonky quilt. I soaked the batting in the tub and dried it in the dryer, so I'm surprised how much these two quilts still crinkled up after washing again. It was just an experiment to see how much of a difference there would be after pre-shrinking the batting, but obviously there's not much, so I probably won't do that again since its a pain.
This quilt is in the shop. Now I'm off to Target to buy school supplies just for fun and pound a Costco hot dog. Seriously….how good are those hot dogs? I won't tell you how many I've had in the past 2 weeks, probably because I've lost count.

--- Andrew Gordon: Dished out 2 assists in three games last week ... Recorded 3 assists and 5 points in 37 NHL games with the Anaheim Ducks last season ... Accumulated 5 goals and 6 assists in 29 AHL games with Chicago and the Syracuse Crunch during the 2011-12 campaign
--- Eddie Lack: Saw his three-game winning streak to start the year end on Saturday ... Notched a 3-1-0 mark, 2.16 goal-against average and .927 save percentage in four tilts this season ... Amassed a 21-20-3 record, 2.31 goals-against average, and .925 save percentage in 46 games with the Wolves last year ... Ranked seventh in the AHL with a .925 save percentage and ninth in the league with a 2.31 goals-against average ... Collected four shutouts last year, the most by a Wolves goaltender since 2004-05
--- Forwards Andrew Ebbett and Brett Sterling and defenseman Kevin Connauton share the team lead with a +4 plus/minus rating this season; the 29-year-old EBBETT and the 28-year-old STERLING have yet to be on the ice for a goal-against this year.
--- Every player on the Wolves active roster has played in at least one contest this season and 25 of the 27 players on the roster have played in two or more contests.
--- Nine of Chicago's 10 goals-against this season have come in the third period of play; the Wolves have yet to allow a first-period marker this year.
--- The Wolves allowed 33 shots in Saturday's second and third period combined, which was more than the total shots surrendered in all four of their previous games.
--- Chicago has surrendered at least one power-play goal in each of its last four tilts (13 of 19); the team ranked sixth in the league last year with an 84.2 efficiency rating on the penalty kill (235 of 279), which was the seventh-highest kill rate in franchise history.

Each stick will be autographed by several players and be available for a $150 donation, the cost of a mammogram for those who can't afford one. Fans will be able to purchase a "Stick It To Breast Cancer" T-shirt for a $20 donation and autographed pink pucks for a $10 donation. The Wolves also encourage fans to wear pink attire to the game that night. Proceeds benefit A Silver Lining Foundation and Chicago Wolves Charities. For more information, call 1-800-THE-WOLVES.

The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead Season 3: Where Did We Leave Off, Before 2013 Return?
It's been two months. Maybe you've been too busy to watch The Walking Dead marathons and you don't have Season 3 lovingly saved on your DVR. Or maybe you're a newbie — you've heard how great TWD is and you want to check it out, but you don't know what the heck is going on. If that's the case, welcome to the fold! This is not going to be a definitive recap of the entire series, just a refresher of where we left off, so you don't feel too disoriented when the show picks up exactly where we left off, as if no time has passed. And they are literally starting Episode 9, "The Suicide King," right where we ended Episode 8: in the Woodbury gladiator pits.
Anyway, here's a rundown of Episode 8, "Made to Suffer," which aired in early December 2012, back when we wondered if the world really might end at the end of the month.
The prison group staged an assault on Woodbury to save Glenn (Steven Yeun) and Maggie (Lauren Cohan). The Governor (David Morrissey) is down one eye, and would be down for the count if not for the intervention of Andrea (Laurie Holden). (Bah! Try again later this season, Michonne?) Zombie Penny died a second time. Poor Oscar (Vincent Ward) also died, right when we were on the cusp of getting to know him. Shane (Jon Bernthal) briefly returned, to do what he does best — mess with Rick's (Andrew Lincoln) mind. Merle (Michael Rooker) and Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) had a lovely reunion in the Zombie Fight Club gladiator pits, where the warm-hearted citizens of Woodbury cheered to their good health. (Or not.). And Carl (Chandler Riggs) locked Tyreese (Chad Coleman) and his fellow newbies in the prison, which sucks for them but may be good news for Axel (Lew Temple), since he'd run out of girls to flirt with.
In a previous episode, Merle beat the crap out of Glenn (Steven Yeun), and The Governor degraded Maggie (Lauren Cohan), and threatened to rape her, to get the location of their group. Maggie ultimately gave up the information — that they were living in a prison — when a gun was put to Glenn's head. Later, Glenn and Maggie talked about what happened. Glenn asked Maggie if The Gov … "No, he barely touched me," she said. "Look at what they did to you," she said. He said it doesn't matter as long as he didn't hurt her. But we know Glenn and Maggie are going to deal with this differently. He wants revenge. She just wants to move on.
Rick, Michonne (Danai Gurira), Daryl and Oscar go from the prison Woodbury to try and rescue Glenn and Maggie. They don't really know Michonne too well and just have an uneasy alliance with her. Ultimately, they do rescue Glenn and Maggie, but Oscar (one of the original prisoners) was killed.
After the death of Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies), Rick started having hallucinations of phone calls to the prison. During the assault on Woodbury, Rick had a vision of his late best friend, Shane (Jon Bernthal), whom he killed toward the end of Season 2. This is a sign of Rick's mental collapse, which will continue into the final eight episodes of Season 3.
The Gov said he had no interest in taking over the prison, since Woodbury is more like "what it was" before the zombie apocalypse. But he did want to "take out the group that's living there" and let the biters move back in. Merle said, the problem is, his brother Daryl is over there. The Gov thought Merle could make Daryl his inside man. Merle made a deal — that nothing happens to Daryl. The Governor wanted to put Glenn and Maggie in the fighting pits. But that was before Glenn and Maggie were saved and before Michonne showed up — showing The Gov that Merle was lying when he said Michonne was dead.
Tyreese (Chad Coleman), a main character in the comic books, was introduced in this episode, leading a group to the prison. His group (including two women, Sasha and Donna, and two other men, Ben and Allen) were attacked by a walker herd, then spotted the prison and went over. One of the women, Donna, was bit and she ended up dying in the prison. Young Carl locked up the prison newbies, since he wisely decided not to just trust them. At this point, it's just Carl, Hershel (with his one leg), teenage Beth, Carol, Axel and baby Judith at the prison.
Episode 8 was serious and scary, but back in the prison, Axel was horny and acted as comic relief. Axel was talking to Beth, who is 17, and got a little too flirty. Carol pulled Axel aside and told him to stay away from Beth. "This isn't about you trying to repopulate the earth." Axel said there weren't a lot of women in prison and there aren't a lot of women around now. Maggie is with Glenn, and Carol is a lesbian... Carol said she's not a lesbian. But "you've got the short hair," Axel said. Ha!
At this point, a lot of people are pissed at Andrea for deciding to stay in Woodbury with The Governor (aka the guy she's sleeping with) instead of leaving with her friend, Michonne, who saved Andrea's life when the now-prison folks left her for dead at the end of Season 2. Michonne and The Gov never got along, and The Gov tried to have Michonne killed when she left Woodbury. Michonne ended up at the prison, where she told Rick about Woodbury and The Gov, and how Merle abducted Glenn and Maggie. That's how they all knew to go to Woodbury. On that note...
During the assault on Woodbury, while Rick and company were trying to rescue Glenn and Maggie, Michonne waited for The Gov in his room. She saw The Gov's creepy fish tanks with heads in them, then found The Gov's zombie daughter Penny locked up, and initially thought she was a normal little girl, just with a bag over her head, for some reason. She actually showed a soft side, telling the girl it was OK, she wouldn't hurt her. Then she unhooked Penny and took off her hood. Penny showed her walker self, and Michonne prepared to slice her up. Then Governor appeared and begged Michonne not to hurt Penny.
Governor: "It's me you want. There's no need for her to suffer."
Michonne: "She doesn't have needs."
Governor: "Don't hurt my little girl."
Michonne wasn't having it — she shoved her katana straight through Penny's head, through her mouth. The Governor attacked her, and in their fight Michonne knocked down the fish tank heads, which shattered glass all over the floor. Michonne grabbed a shard and stabbed The Gov in the eye. Andrea stopped her old friend right when she was about to kill The Governor. They had a standoff — katana vs. gun, but no one made a move on the other. Michonne just left, and Andrea finally saw The Gov's secret fish tanks and zombie daughter.
The Governor, pirate patch and all, talked to the battle-scarred and scared citizens of Woodbury. They haven't had a day like this since the wall was completed, he said. They thought they were past it. "The fear we all felt then, we felt it again tonight. … I failed you. I promised to keep you safe. … I'm afraid of terrorists who want what we have. Want to destroy us. And worse, because one of those terrorists is one of our own." He called out Merle. He thought Merle had killed Michonne, but obviously that wasn't the case; not only did she live, she went to the prison and brought them all to Woodbury, including Merle's brother. They dragged out Daryl, giving Daryl and Merle Dixon their first actual reunion on the show. They were never in the same place together (other than in a Daryl hallucination on Season 2) because Merle got stuck on that roof in Atlanta and had to cut his own hand off to get free. Andrea looked appalled — since she knows Daryl and was just then realizing the "terrorists" that attacked Woodbury were her old farm buddies. The Gov asked the Woodbury citizens what they wanted to do, and they shouted to kill the "terrorists."
That's where the show left off. AMC aired the first two minutes of Sunday's Episode 9, "The Suicide King," and it picks up right in the Woodbury fight club pits, with The Gov declaring a fight to the death between Merle and Daryl Dixon. Merle punches and kicks Daryl, telling everyone they know him, they know he'll do whatever it takes to prove his loyalty to Woodbury. The clip ends with people bringing a live walker into the fighting pit. Hopefully either Andrea, or Rick's group (who are still in Woodbury) can stop them in time.

Newbies, Post in Welcome Central to open up the boards
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
The whole Bible refutes your inane, stupor-inducing philosophy, which is lawlessness incarnate. God has not led you into your present confusion and denial of Reality. You ask if we silenced ourselves or whether we were silenced. Does the fact that we were silenced not tell you the whole story?:
Paul Hazelwood, you say that Jesus Christ being Savior of all mankind is good enough for everyone, no need to contend for the faith.
What's amazingly odd is that the Holy Spirit will not allow me to go to that other website at all. I have no idea what it says beyond the quotations that have been made on this thread. Must be pretty bad. All we can do is fast and pray for them. My only question of them is whether or not they feel confident enough in what they're doing to assert with myself and St. Paul what St. Paul asserted in 1Corinthians 4:16 and 1Corinthians 11:1. If they can boldly say that with the confidence that I'd say it, then I wholeheartedly welcome all of you to go over to that website if any of you aren't particularly restrained by the Holy Spirit from doing so and see what you can do to help that ministry out. Every ministry like theirs is going to have needs. Open your hearts and open your wallets to them and help them with getting the Gospel out, if they're genuinely doing that. Otherwise, I'm closing the thread 'cause it's genuinely time to move on to other matters. If they have an address handy on their website, then keep it handy as you're getting your tax returns and do all that the Holy Spirit tells you to do. If the Holy Spirit tells you nothing in particular about them, then still do all you can for them with your fasting and praying for them.

ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves built a 3-0 lead and held on to collect an 3-2 victory over the Manitoba Moose at the Allstate Arena Sunday night.
Forwards Darren Haydar, Tim Miller and Jason Krog provided the offense for Chicago (33-25-3-5), while goaltender Edward Pasquale (6-6-0) made 29 saves in his first appearance since Jan. 29.
"I thought we played well tonight. Everybody worked hard," said Wolves Assistant Coach Ron Wilson. "We're fighting for our playoff lives right now so every game is like a playoff game and this win is huge."
Haydar gave the Wolves a 1-0 lead, 11:18 into the first period. Working on the power play, Krog fed the puck from the right corner out to Haydar at the top of the crease for a quick tap past Moose netminder Eddie Lack.
Miller made the Wolves lead 2-0, 7:06 into the second period. Defenseman Jamie Sifers fired a shot on goal and Miller was there to step into the rebound and rip a shot through traffic and into the back of the net.
Krog gave the Wolves a 3-0 cushion at 17:28 of the second period. Center Andre Deveaux worked the puck past Manitoba's defense at the blueline and chipped the puck to Mike Davies, who knocked it over to Krog, who sent it zinging past Lack.
Lack (22-16-3) turned aside 40 shots for Manitoba.
Manitoba (34-23-1-5) got on the board, 3-1, with a shorthanded goal when center Garth Murray stole the puck at the blueline and broke down the ice alone before flipping a shot past Pasquale with 48 seconds remaining in the second period.
The Moose pulled within one, 3-2, 4:45 in to the third period. Defenseman Yann Sauve controlled the puck alone in the left face-off circle and sent a shot zipping past a crowd of players in front of the net and past Pasquale.
The Wolves will host the Peoria Rivermen at the Allstate Arena on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Did you know that each and every year, the Queen celebrates two birthdays?
And it is soon to be one of them – on the 14th June, the Queen will celebrate her official birthday, even though her actual birthday is on the 21st April.
Interestingly, her official birthday doesn't have a fixed date, but it is always a Saturday in June, so that there is good weather (hopefully!) for an outdoor event. Continue reading

Welcome to the website of the Kunsthaus extension, where you can keep track of the project as it progresses.
Building permit takes legal effect. Construction to begin in autumn 2015, opening in 2020.
A legal dispute has blocked progress on the Kunsthaus extension for two years. The Lucerne-based Archicultura Foundation lodged an objection to the decision of 31 May 2013 granting the building permit. In its judgment of 19 December 2014, the construction appeals court dismissed this objection. The Archicultura Foundation has decided not to appeal against this judgment, and as a result the building permit now takes legal effect.
Construction appeals court gives green light for extension to the Kunsthaus Zürich
The construction appeals court has confirmed the May 2013 decision approving construction of the Kunsthaus extension and dismissed in full the objection by the Lucerne-based Archicultura Foundation. The Kunsthaus extension meets all the requirements of the law. The additional costs incurred as a result of the appeal will be in the region of two million francs.
Objection to the Kunsthaus extension: commissioning body remains confident
The Einfache Gesellschaft Kunsthaus-Erweiterung (EGKE), the partnership commissioning and overseeing the project, has analysed the Administrative Court's decision recognising the legitimacy of the Lucerne-based Archicultura Foundation's objection, and considers that a substantive examination of the objection by the construction appeals court, the court of first instance, is the most direct way to obtain a building permit that has legal force. It will not therefore be taking its case to the Federal Supreme Court.
Construction was scheduled to start in December 2013. The length of the delay and the resulting additional costs will depend on the further course of the legal proceedings. Planning activities that have already begun will be completed by the end of May 2014 and the dossiers prepared so that the work can be resumed at a later date.
Administrative court allows appeal
The administrative court has ruled that the Archicultura Foundation can proceed with its objection to the construction of the Kunsthaus extension. The commissioning body regrets this decision and expects it to result in a further delay to the start of building work, and corresponding extra costs.
Archicultura to appeal further to Administrative Court
After the construction appeals court ruled that the Archicultura Foundation did not have a legitimate interest as a basis for its objection, the Foundation has now decided to appeal to the Administrative Court. The construction team regrets this step, which in all probability will lead to a delay in starting construction work on the Kunsthaus Extension, which was originally planned for the last quarter 2013. The length of the delay as well as financial implications will depend on the legal process accompanying the appeal, and are therefore also impossible to predict with certainty.
Objection to construction dismissed
The construction appeals court has ruled that the sole objector to the construction permit for the Kunsthaus extension does not have a legitimate interest. On 26 July 2013, the construction appeals court of the Canton of Zurich ruled that the Archicultura foundation for townscape and landscape care from Lucerne was not entitled to file an objection to the construction of the Kunsthaus extension, as it had no discernible geographical connection to the project and had failed to demonstrate that it was active throughout the canton. For that reason, its objection would not be considered.
Construction permit granted
At its meeting on 31 May 2013, the construction committee of Zurich City Council approved the construction permit for the Kunsthaus extension. The permit is subject to the customary conditions for projects of this magnitude. Appeals must be lodged within 30 days.
Major donation towards the Kunsthaus extension
The Walter Haefner Foundation is supporting the extension to the Kunsthaus Zürich with a donation of CHF 20 million.
Design plan comes into force
On 31 January 2013, the Canton of Zurich Building Department approved the public design plan for the Kunsthaus extension. It comes into force on 16 March.
Zurich's electorate approved the extension project
The result of the popular vote on 25 November 2012 is a major success for the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft. The voting figures – 53.9 percent for and 46.1 percent against – represent a clear majority for the idea of a museum for art and audiences in the 21st century.

Deadstring Brothers bring fusion to Maumee's The Village IdiotWritten by Mike Bauman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
JD Mackinder hasn't been getting a lot of sleep lately, but for good reason.
Serving as bassist and booking agent for Nashville-based Deadstring Brothers, a nearly decade-long musical project spearheaded by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Kurtis Marschke, Mackinder hit the road with Marschke for the month of August. They then did an eight-gig run in Europe prior to heading back to the states to record the Deadstring Brothers' fifth album.
"When it comes down to it, part of the reason that me and Kurtis decided to do this together is because we know what we want, and that is to play all the time, constantly," Mackinder said. "That's the only way we're going to make any headway."
After recording this month, the Deadstring Brothers will continue to make headway with another tour running through early November, which includes a stop at The Village Idiot in Maumee on Sept. 27. A Chelsea, Mich., native, Mackinder has been performing in the Toledo area with various musical projects since the mid-'90s.
"It was 45 minutes away from where I grew up, so I was always happy to hop down there if there was a decent show going on," Mackinder said. "When I was a kid and just starting to play shows and still in school, you felt like you were going on tour because you were leaving the state."
Formerly of the band Whitey Morgan and the 78's, Mackinder has known fellow Michigan native Marschke for many years. The pair worked hard to form a honky-tonk music scene in the Detroit area, where Mackinder has helped bring in more than 90 bands to perform at the Honky Tonk Throwdown music festival over the past three years.
Since 2003, the Deadstring Brothers has released four albums, the latest being 2010's "Sao Paulo." Marschke, the band's founding member, relocated to Nashville, Tenn., and has been operating as the solo act "Deadstring Brother" for the past two years. When Mackinder recently became available, the two decided to pair up again.
"It's hard when you're out there playing a bunch of shows and everybody's trying to have lives, too," Mackinder said of the Deadstring Brothers' different members over the years. "It's not the easiest thing in the world to keep a group of five or six people on the road together and doing all that stuff.
"It's not to say that you weed people out, but people just kind of find that they don't want to do that with their whole lives."
Over the years, the Deadstring Brothers has played with the likes of Shooter Jennings, My Morning Jacket and Drive-By Truckers. With a fusion of rock 'n' roll, country, blues, soul and gospel in its sound, Mackinder said the band's musical elements are a perfect middleground for him after years of loud rock and honky-tonk country.
"Very much brothers with the same attitude," Mackinder said of the musical chemistry between he and Marschke. "We're real focused on making the best songs we can, and this is a different-sounding record than previous Deadstring Brothers records.
"It's got a little bit of a [Led] Zeppelin influence. It's got a little bit of a Pink Floyd influence. And then it's got Kurt's songwriting style where automatically people are going to be reminded of the Stones."
Recorded in Nashville, the forthcoming fifth album from the Deadstring Brothers also features contributions from Brad Pemberton (Ryan Adams & The Cardinals) on drums, Mike Webb (Bobby Keys, Poco) on organ and mandolin, Chark Kinsolving (Bobby Keys, Spoonful) on lead guitar and Pete Finney (Trace Adkins, Vince Gill) on pedal steel and dobro.
"We brought out some heavy hitters to join us on the record," Mackinder said. "It's been great."
Mackinder said that they hope to have the new record out in early 2013 and plan to do 250 shows with the Deadstring Brothers next year as well.
"This is a completely analog recording, which is nice," Mackinder said of the new material. "I did that the whole early part of my career, and this is the first time I've had a chance to do that since 2006. I love the sound."

The Bachelor
Bachelor 2013's AshLee Frazier Has Been Married Before!
Sean Lowe's Bachelor 2013 girls are an eclectic, gorgeous, talented bunch — from Amazon visual designer Catherine Giudici to Washington DC-based lobbyist Lesley Murphy. While The Bachelor is basically a love journey to the altar, not all the contestants are I-do virgins. (Nor should they have to be!)
Reality Steve reveals some new scoop on AshLee Frazier, the 32-year-old home organizer from his home state. At age 17, AshLee was married to Andy Barbarow — but the matrimony didn't last long, ending in divorce one and a half years later.
From the looks of the St. Croix preview, AshLee reveals this personal history to Sean while laying on the beach during their one-on-one date. We already know Ash makes it to Thailand (and the overnight dates), so it certainly seems like Sean wasn't too fazed by the news.
