Re: Getting funded by a record label
I do think That i may be have to go into debt to do what it is that i want to do. That may very well be true. But at the same time if i can avoid that debt then that is my goal.
To be honest there is no point even asking the type of questions on forums that i have asked here (as well as other forums) as well as other questions concerning making it to a place of huge success in a band anymore. Because i have seen the types of responses that i have gotten and will get. At this point its not worth the headache to me anymore to even try to approach these types of topics from a positive and different viewpoint then most (not all i truly hope) people on drum forums. Because i just get bashed for it. So why waste my time talking about these things anymore on these forums. When it comes to talking about certain things i think that drumming forums can be a good thing. But when it comes to talking about trying be successful and trying to do things in different ways, from what i can tell most of the drum forums are useless. Because people just rag on others that believe they can truly achieve their dreams and goals and that believe that they dont have to do eveything the same way that everyone else has done them.
I find it kind of depressing that a lot of impressionable drummers will go on drum forums with a fire in their hearts to reach for their dreams expecting at least most others to feel the same way just to have everyone throw water on their fire. Just because some people have not gotten where they want to be they have a negative viewpoint and they try to project that onto others. When the others dont buy into it that are viewed as naive.
Again, if everybody thought "oh man, its too hard. Theres too much of a chance that i will fail. There are already so many people trying to do it", nobody would ever make it to a place of success (and this is not just in the music business but every other business where its tough to succeed). The people that did not chose to buy into these types of thoughts and that chose to ignore the advice of those that did are the ones that have been (and will be) successful. There is a reason why those who made it to where they want to be tell people not to listen to the naysayers. Its because they heard it all as well. And they refused to listen to the naysayers and they achieved their goals.
Im not arrogant in any way (all the people that know me can attest to this). I just truly believe that with Gods help that anything can be done. Anything! And i refuse to believe differently until God tells me that im wrong (the bible says that with God ALL things are possible). I truly believe this with every fiber of my being. Do i make mistakes? Yes, mistakes all the time. And i am always striving to learn. But i also dont believe that something cant be done just because lots of people tell me that it cant. Im sure that the wright brothers were told that trying to make an airplane was nuts and that they should just give up. But we all know what happened in that story.
I will just go and do what is in my heart to do and what i think is the best way to do things learning from the most positive people as i can as i go. And if i find that im wrong on something then i will do my best to learn what i did or am doing (or believed or am believing) wrong. And then i will do my best to correct my mistake. But i have to at least give things a good deal of thought (and at times try those things) to see if they work or not before i give up on them. And this can even be the case when those that i do trust (people that i know and have known for a good while) tell me that im wrong on something. Because they may be wrong themselves. And the only way that i will know if it just did not work for them and it may work for me will be for me to try it. What i will have to do is really think about the thing that im considering to see if i should try it or not before i do try it.
Coming back to the wright brothers, im sure that they were not the first people that tried to build a flying machine. And i would be willing to guess that those that tried to build an airplane and it did not work out for them either told the wright brothers (or would have told them if they could have) that they were wasting their time. Im sure that they went through a lot of trail and error before they achieved their goals. But they preserved. And in time they were successful.

Creating an Effective PowerPoint Presentation
Whether it be in a high school classroom, college lecture hall, conference room, or large presentation, at some point in our lives we have all been subject to a brutally boring, painful-to-watch lecture accompanied by an awful PowerPoint. While public speaking and presentation design may not be everyone's forte, we're here to give a few helpful tips to help make your presentation a success. If the presenter is the driver of a presentation, the accompanying visual aids are almost certainly the vehicle. The presenter and the aids must compliment each other in order to ensure an effective...read more

While your favorite artist are struggling to get a decent single to chart on Billboard, The Queen of Soul is remaking old classics and placing her jugs on display for all you naysayers…
Another album jem dropped today featuring Aretha Franklin's version of Gloria Gaynor's 'I Will Survive' and a Destiny's Child mix of 'Survivor' which surprisingly sounds fantastic…. Definitely a better showing than her 'Rolling In The Deep' fiasco.
Aretha is 100 years old and singing your favorite new and updated artist under the bus with ease. I love it. In the meantime peep the upbeat, disco flavored tune after the jump and don't forget to purchase Aretha Franklin Sings The Great Diva Classics later this month.
Thanks Tony3k for putting me up on game!

Whitman Overcomes Strong Effort By Bearcats
Whitman overcame a scrappy Willamette defense to snap its five-match losing skid Saturday night in Sherwood Center, defeating the Bearcats in four games, 30-24, 25-30, 30-20, 30-26.
The Missionaries evened their season record at 8-8 and improved to 3-5 in Northwest Conference play. Willamette drops to 1-11 overall, 1-7 in conference.
Game one remained close throughout. Two Willamette attack errors gave Whitman a 24-19 lead, but the Bearcats rallied to within two points at 24-22. The Missionaries regained the momentum, scoring the next four points to put the game out of reach.
Whitman came out slow in game two and eventually hit a dismal .056. Willamette took advantage of the struggling Missionary offense, building a 16-9 lead midway through the second game. Whitman pulled to within four at 27-23 but never got any closer.
Whitman jumped to a 4-0 lead in game three, thanks in part to two Rosa Brey kills. After bouncing back to within one point at 12-11, the Bearcats went cold and Whitman reeled off nine of the next 11 points to seize control. Outside hitter Lydia Hayes dominated game three with eight kills, while Brey had five.
Whitman raced away to a commanding 18-9 lead in game four, but the Bearcats rallied. Down 25-17, Willamette scored eight straight points on Kristen Kutara's serve to cut its deficit to just one point. Jessica Durham had three kills in the eight-point swing. Whitman defused the comeback bid, however, finishing off the Bearcats on a Kate Borsato kill.
The Bearcat duo of Durham and McGraw proved unstoppable for most of the night, posting 20 and 19 kills, respectively. Setter Jessica Drumm handed out 57 assists. Defensively Willamette had three players with double figure digs, led by Veroncia Schneider with 21.
Willamette travels to Tacoma next Friday to face Puget Sound.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The number of homes seized by banks reached a nine-month high in November.
The foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac says banks completed foreclosures on 11 percent more homes in November than they did the month before.
But the number of homes just entering the foreclosure process dropped 13 percent over the same period.

Child Porn Video With Clown Might Possibly Be the Worst Thing We've Ever Heard Of
Categories: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
|Image via
|Garold Semelka, left, and Mike Telkamp, right, were both arrested last week on child porn charges
Last week, the Belleville Police department arrested numbers 25 and 26 of the worst child pornography traffickers/downloaders in the state of Illinois. (The BND covered it, as did KMOV ; the Post-Dispatch ran a short on it).
It's all part of attorney general Lisa Madigan's "Operation Glass House" (named that way to remind these slugs that they can't hide their seedy activities; law enforcement can "see" through their walls).
Civil libertarians may not be crazy about that kind of prying. And anyway, these two guys are innocent until proven guilty, right? Well...
Take one of them, Mike G. Telkamp, who was arrested Thursday. According to Madigan's office,
Telkamp was arrested when law enforcement noted his IP address had downloaded a particularly vile, violent, yet popular, child pornography video featuring a middle aged man dressed as a clown repeatedly assaulting and raping a terrified girl about 8 years old, Madigan said.Uh, that's not something you'd accidentally click on while, say, surfing for a good deal on patio chairs.
By the way, that video has been downloaded 979 times in the past year in Illinois alone, the AG added.
Makes you wonder how many times it's been downloaded in Missouri.
Happy Monday!

Federal law has introduced many new changes that affect Medicaid, Denali KidCare and health insurance. Here are a list of Frequently Asked Questions related to these subjects. For Alaska-specific question about Public Assistance programs, please e-mail our policy section at email@example.com.
The Affordable Care Act is the nation's health reform law enacted in March 2010.The law consists of two pieces of legislation: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), enacted on March 23, 2010, and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act (HCERA), enacted on March 30, 2010. Jointly they are referred to as the Affordable Care Act or ACA.
The Marketplace is a new way to find health coverage that fits your budget and meets your needs. With one application, you can see all your options and enroll.The Marketplace will be responsible for calculating health insurance premiums subsidies, enrollment, and certification of qualified health plans that can be sold in the marketplace. If you have limited income and do not qualify for coverage through the Marketplace, your account may be transferred to the Division of Public Assistance to see if you are eligible for Medicaid.
For more information about the Federally Facilitated Marketplace please go to: www.HealthCare.gov
HealthCare.gov provides detailed information on how both Alaska Natives and American Indians are impacted by the new Health Insurance Coverage Options offered through the Marketplace. (Visit site)
You can apply for coverage three ways: online, by mail, or in-person you can also receive assistance with applying from a Fee Agent, Navigator or other qualified helper.
For Health Insurance contact the Federally Facilitated Marketplace:
Website: HealthCare.gov
Phone: 1-800-318-2596, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. (TTY: 1-855-889-4325)
Open enrollment for the health insurance options, offered through the Marketplace, starts October 1, 2013. Plans and prices will be available then. Coverage starts as soon as January 1, 2014.
For Medicaid or Denali KidCare contact the Division of Public Assistance:
View the directory of local public assistance offices.
Please Remember - If you are already receiving Medicaid you do not need to reapply.
Medicaid will continue for existing recipients until the person's eligibility is renewed under the new "Modified Adjusted Gross Income" (MAGI) rules (see definition below).
Effective January 1, 2014 the following Medicaid groups are covered in Alaska:
Parent and other caretakers,
Children under the age of 19,
Young adults under the age of 21,
Former foster care children up to the age of 26, and
Pregnant women.
MAGI based Medicaid does not impact elderly and disabled persons currently receiving Adult Public Assistance related Medicaid, or Long Term Care.
No. However, Medicaid ID cards will soon be issued in place of the old Medicaid coupons, and the cards will be identified as either Denali Care or Denali KidCare cards.
MAGI is the Internal Revenue Services' (IRS) calculation of income and household size. MAGI will be used to determine eligibility for health insurance programs including Medicaid/Denali KidCare, as well as premium cost sharing assistance for tax credits provided to low and moderate income individuals under ACA.
The information you provide on the application will be, when possible, verified electronically. The Market Place and the Division of Public Assistance will use a federally operated database to verify citizenship, immigration status and federal benefits such as Social Security. If we are not able to verify the information electronically we may ask you to provide additional verification.
Yes, protecting your privacy is very important to us. Information that you provide to the Department of Health and Social Services, Division of Public Assistance and the Federally Facilitated Marketplace on HealthCare.gov, my.alaska.gov and the Self Service Portal will be safeguarded in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. Section 552a).

The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 04/24/2012
These STDs—symptomatic or asymptomatic—simply cannot be ignored. As authors commit to combination HIV–1 prevention, they must redouble the efforts to think of every possible way to recognize and treat classical STDs. Surely this problem is no more impossible to attack or less important than any other part of the HIV–1 pandemic.

His home ravaged by earthquake, 16-year-old Renato Lherisson returned to his birthplace, the United States, to finish high school and earn a college degree.
The Haitian student envisioned studying political science all the way to the doctoral level and maybe working for the United Nations one day. But now he's just hoping to afford one class this semester.
Lherisson is one of many students — the number is impossible to determine — who must pay out-of-state tuition even though they are U.S. citizens and Florida residents. It is because they are dependent on their parents, who are not citizens. And in Florida, it is the parent's status that counts.
A bill that would have extended in-state tuition to such students, if they lived in Florida for at least two years, was voted down Tuesday in a Senate Higher Education Committee meeting.

Samwell Gets 15 More Minutes of Fame in New Jon Hamm Mash-Up
Of course you remember Samwell. How could you not remember Samwell? The Chicago flight attendant starred in the 2007 YouTube sensation "What What (In the Butt)" -- a video in which he coyly sings, "You want to do it in my butt?"
|Hey! Don Draper! Want to do it in his butt?
Now Giorgio's video is finding new life on the Internets -- and, go figure, there's another St. Louis angle.
We told you earlier this week about the video someone made of Local-Boy-Made-Good Jon Hamm saying "What? What?" 10zillion different times on Mad Men.
Now, a clever producer has mashed up "What What (In The Butt)" with Hamm's "What What"? -- a combination that's so bizarre, it actually makes sense.
Seriously, the Draper/Samwell mashup is either the stupidest thing we've ever seen -- or the most brilliant. Perhaps one YouTube commenter says it best: "Everyone go home; the internet is over. Nothing left to see."
With 76,000 views and counting, we hereby present "Don Draper v. Samwell: What What in the Butt."

Honours: Wales RL Youth; Great Britain RL Youth
Gary Williams is sponsored by: KCCS
A product of local club, Aberdare, Gary Paul Williams was drafted into the Pontypridd team at the tail-end of the 2008 - 2009 season as injury cover.
Having won international honours with Wales Youth and Great Britain Youth in the League code, Gary was earning a reputation with Aberdare as one of the most promising up and coming talents in the Welsh divisions.
A talented fullback, with a rapid turn of speed, Gary was awarded a full-time contract with Pontypridd at the commencement of the 2009 - 2010 season.
Offering a presence as a back-line attacker, and a competent kicker out of hand and at goal, Gary was welcomed as a valued addition to the Ponty squad, given the opportunity to impose his physicality as an inside centre.
Gary is employed as an electrician in the mining industry.

The 31st team in this 32-part series for Yahoo! Sports. Check out the entire piece on this link.
In 2011, head coach Jim Harbaugh took over the San Francisco 49ers, led them to their first winning season since 2002 and got them to the NFC title game.
Last season, Harbaugh and company reached Super Bowl XLVII. But the game was in New Orleans and not Philadelphia, and so much for "brotherly love" as John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens prevailed 34-31.
The logical progression says the Niners get to Super BowlXLVIII and win it. However, it's also worth noting that the last team to lose the Super Bowl and win it the following season was the 1972 Miami Dolphins.

Saturday Gathering
My two girls, my BFF Hyacinth, Hy's daughter, and I are in New York City for a few days, and I'll be taking photos and sharing our adventures while I'm here. First, though, I wanted to post some photos of the crew gathering cattle Saturday morning. Marlboro Man needed to work some of his calves, but since it was Saturday, we all got to sleep in a little bit!
Until 5:00 am.
Ah, summertime on the ranch. It's such a…unique time.
My brother-in-law Tim and his boy came to help.
The dogs came to help, too! They were so excited that the guys were gathering cattle so close to our house so they could tag along.
Marlboro Man and Tim work so well together. I love watching them. After forty years, they can pretty much read each other's minds.
Part of the crew was a couple of pastures away, gathering another bunch of cattle. Meanwhile, this pasture went pretty smoothly!
Oh, sure—a couple of cows tried to make a break for it.
Cowboy Tim and my older boy got this one back in.
(The dogs think they helped, of course.)
(We'll just let them go ahead and think that. It's confidence-building!)
My brother-in-law went after this one!
And got her back, no problem at all.
Once they were all gathered up…
The guys needed to move them through a gate and take them on up to the pens by our house.
My baby was equal to the task. He was alive, awake, alert, and enthusiastic!
(Well…alive and awake, anyway.)
That's our house up there on the hill. And our family cemetery down below.
And there's my brother-in-law Tim…
And my impossibly-grown-up nephew.
When did he get to be so old?
Awww. I can't handle the passage of time.
Meanwhile, the dogs trudged along in the tall grass…
And got soaked not from a dip in the creek, but by the morning dew.
Look at that face. Canine preciousness.
Most of the cattle cooperated…
And made it through the gate just fine.
But a couple of the calves were so wittle that they couldn't quite keep up.
So Tim and his boy loaded 'em in the back of my pickup and I gave 'em a ride to the pens!
Cutest hitchhiker ever.
All the while, my father-in-law (who'd brought along his good friend Stormy) watched from his pickup.
I don't think he stopped smiling the whole time.

Good Morning Ree!
Love the post! Love seeing your family and their teamwork! Love seeing all the pups too! Haven't seen Hooker in a while. I adore the fact that Charlie and Walter are such dedicated 'round 'em up' cattle dogs!! What agility, what grace, what……what the heck do you do with a bassett drenched in dew??!! P.U.!! Sorry babies, wet dog is never going to be a fragrance people would use to attract others! Doesn't really matter anyway. You are doing your job and getting wet and stinky means that you're not sitting on the sidelines! You're in there, getting 'er done!! You are to be commended on your commitment to help your family!
I hope that you and the other ladies are having a really great time in New York!! What a nice break and what fun!!
Hope this is the beginning of an action packed, full o'fun and most Blessed week for all!
Sending love and hugs to Oklahoma and New York City!!
Take Care, God Bless.

Robin On Monday, June 23 at 6:45 am

Thanks for a wonderful start this morning. Always look forward to your blog and what is going on at the ranch, the building or whatever you wish to share with us. It is such a treat to learn the workings of the cattle ranch. Although I consider my self a country girl, I have never been fortunate enough to view the true country life. I just don't live in the city (small town.) Love your posts, thanks for inviting us in.

Just love these photos. What a beautiful day and the family working together touches my heart. That baby calf- could he stay at my house? What a darling face. Charlie looks like he's not too pleased with being so wet. Ha! Love that Indian blanket on Todd's horse. Hope you are having a great time in New York City. Girl time- what fun.

TAB On Monday, June 23 at 11:07 am
That was the first thing I noticed in the pic just before the one Ree mentioned it in! Me & hubby will be with my mom's side of family in cemetery with equally beautiful, peaceful country setting. I would love to have room on our place for that. Have the family all close together & close by~ is very comforting to me! And those kids ARE growin too dad-gum fast. Tho't the pic of Todd was Bryce for a sec just cuz of his size! Where did dem wittle kids go?? And this is prob 1 of my fav post cuz it shows the cattle trying to escape. The other posts look like it always goes so smoothly and it seems like it is always like this one for us when we move cattle. Course could be the breed. Longhorns & corriente's can be waspy lil varmints! (hey- good word for next spelling contest Ree)

I would love to hear more about the cemetary also!
cynthia On Monday, June 23 at 7:19 am
Men working cattle want a fabulous ballet! Even though the photos were still, the action of man and horse was animated. There is one in which your oldest son is working with his uncle Tim that shows what a gracious horseman he has become. All action and concentration. I love good horsemanship working as it is intended.
Thank you for the early morning serenity.

Karen On Monday, June 23 at 7:30 am
Ree, I agree with you. Where does the time go? Your baby is a young man and looks like he is growing. Soon he will be looking straight at you. Take care on your trip.
Lisa H. On Monday, June 23 at 7:39 am
I love that portrait of your nephew from a few years ago. It looks like it could be a shot from any era. Timeless.
Regina On Monday, June 23 at 7:42 am
I'm glad I took the time to look at this post. Such a beautiful pasture in front of your place. I see why you love it so. All the guys sure make the job of herding cattle look pretty easy, don't they? Happy Monday, to you, Ree!
Cheryl Barker On Monday, June 23 at 7:42 am
Great photos, Ree. The closer-up ones of the boys on their horses are especially stunning, and the one showing your home and family cemetery below really pulled on my heartstrings. Probably because the loss of my mom is still just months old. So precious to have the resting place of your loved ones close by like that. Thanks, as always, for sharing you and your family's life with us. You girls have a great time in NYC!

Most likely the same way my family members get various Oklahoma farm/ranch hats in Indiana they know people Of course in our case they come from family and friends.

It must be so beautiful out there, I wouldn't have a much of a problem waking up at 5 if it was to get out there!

Still waiting to see you on the Today Show in NYC! Have a wonderful time all you lucky girls! Post the memories on this wonderful site.
Beth M. On Monday, June 23 at 8:38 am
There is an old wives tale that if you want your frekles to go away put the morning dew on your face and your frekles will go away. I hope Charlie and Hooker's spots don't disappear. HaHa Beautiful pictures. Love how compassionate you all are in treating your livestock, that is one cute hitchhiker. Have fun in NYC. I have the Today Show on at work, looking forward to your segment. Hopefully, work won't get in the way.
Susan Kost On Monday, June 23 at 8:45 am
I love your daily blog! I used to find it in my in box, but it stopped on June 18th? How do I get it back?

Lots more trees, than previously pictured. Perfect. (The alliteration was just for you, Ree;)
'Guess I'd better check the TV listings, to see when you're on. Enjoy!
Michelle On Monday, June 23 at 8:53 am
It does have to feel good as the patriarch of that family!! and that they've stayed in the family business and on the family's homesteads! What a huge, rich tradition! As a person who LOVES some really tasty beef- thank you for all the work your family does! and as a person with a very old soul at times.. I think it's awesome the amount of tradition, hard work, and family values you are instilling in your children. The same that smiling Grandpa instilled in his kids, and so on before that!
Susan Kost On Monday, June 23 at 8:53 am
I miss you in my inbox! I looked forward to it everyday. Will it be back when you go home to Oklahoma? I missed seeing the Today Show! Oh no!
ShellyFromArkansas On Monday, June 23 at 8:54 am
Beautiful picks. Love to see a family working hard together!
Jessica On Monday, June 23 at 8:55 am
I really appreciate reading about the work you do everyday and how hard the kids and men work. I have been in a funk since my husbnad died and reading your blog again has gotten me off of my ass and outside a lot. I just want to say thank you.
Kim M. On Tuesday, June 24 at 1:09 am
So sorry to hear about your husband passing. Good for you for getting up and pushing through this tough time! Thinking of you.
Hugs from a Cali,

how awesome and d what a grand way of life, all that family together
Sandi W. On Monday, June 23 at 9:05 am
What a beautiful area of your ranch to be working cattle! Some of the young cowboys look like they are really growing up! I like PaPa's cattle gathering view the best although I bet he will never fully retire! Happy Monday to all the Drummond Ranch cowboys and cowgirls; thanks for sharing your life with us!
Kaye B On Monday, June 23 at 9:08 am
Absolutely great pictures! My favorite is the one of your house in the background and the family cemetery–very special place and looks beautiful.
Debbie E. On Monday, June 23 at 9:12 am
Thank you so much for sharing the ranch with us. I look forward to reading your posts and seeing the pictures. There is nothing more important than family, and I love that you all have a family cemetery right there on the property. Have a great time in NYC and I look forward to those posts, too!
Terry in Divide On Monday, June 23 at 9:13 am
As always, I enjoy the working side of the ranch. Enjoy your time away, but I don't envy you. I've gotten to the point where that much concrete and so many cars gives me the heebie-jeebies.I'll hide up here on my mountain and be a hermit the rest of my life, I think.
Patty On Monday, June 23 at 9:14 am
Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy NYC.
Lori Seggio On Monday, June 23 at 9:16 am

that last photo of your father in law is perfect. you can practically see the love on his face.
and your hitchhiker photo? love is visible on my face right now! so sweet!
Rayetta Ferguson On Monday, June 23 at 9:30 am
Love your posts! My dad and his older brother by 11 years worked our family farm. They could read each others' minds too! I loved to see them communicate without a word, When my brothers and my cousins were younger I think it drove them nuts to see their dads do that! They now farm, cousins that is, and low and behold they do the same thing! It's a brother/country thing! Love New York! Can't wait to see and read your posts!
dc On Monday, June 23 at 9:38 am
Thanks for the pics and the story! Confidence building in dog is important. Love the peeks of the horse blankets!

I love the photos of the land! It makes those of us in the suburbs long for more space.
Kim M. On Tuesday, June 24 at 1:05 am
Amen to that!!! It would be nice to have the pace of life slow down just a tad as well. Everyone is always in such a hurry in the city/suburbs. I yearn for some peaceful, wide open spaces!
Kimberly F On Monday, June 23 at 9:45 am
Have fun in the Big Apple; love the pics! Remind me of my childhood!
KrisG On Monday, June 23 at 9:52 am
Wow, you got your own cemetery, very cool!
Linda On Monday, June 23 at 11:02 am
The first time I went to a ranch cemetery it was so sad. It was a couples only child and he was the first to be buried there. His children led his horse in.
Tiffany P On Monday, June 23 at 9:56 am
That little brown calf is beautiful-now I know why I eat only fish and chicken! Enjoy NYC,
Donna On Monday, June 23 at 10:00 am
Beautiful scenery! I can just picture a big field of sunflowers between the house on the hill and the cemetery.
Author Lauren On Monday, June 23 at 10:02 am
I love coming to look at your gorgeous ranch photos when I'm having a stressful work morning. It's like a breath of fresh, livestock-scented air :). I have horses and ride dressage, so it's a treat to see the cowboy side of this whole farm thing. Thanks as always for the photographic pick-me-up, and have a wonderful time in NY!
Jean M On Monday, June 23 at 10:10 am
Another beautiful post! You girls have fun in the big apple.
Dawn On Monday, June 23 at 10:15 am

Kay V On Monday, June 23 at 10:21 am
Those pictures are fantastic. I never knew you had so much greenery. Awesome colors. Enjoy our fun trip..
Darlene J On Monday, June 23 at 10:22 am
Love, Love, Love the photos!! Your basset hound's red eyes make him look like he partied too hard the night before & got up too early to round up cows, HA! HA! My son would have loved to have grown up on a ranch like yours. He has always been great with animals. I will miss him sooooo much when he leaves the nest to go out of state to college in August.): He asked me the other night if I was turning into the Pioneer Woman because I have been cooking a lot of your recipes lately, trying out new foods & just feeding him home cooked meals before he leaves & eats too much junk @ college! ):
Celia Becker On Monday, June 23 at 10:27 am
WOW, the ranch looks so green and lush! Beautiful! I bet you love this time of year, although I know it must be hot. What a nice thing that you have a family cemetery. How far does that date back to? You have history in your own front yard!
Diane S. in San Diego On Monday, June 23 at 10:34 am
Have fun with the girls. These were new and interesting photos of the ranch. Love how you live up on a high point and the family cemetery is right at the bottom with cows all around… just love that the legacy lives on with MM, Tim and the family. You guys are pure gold.
Melana On Monday, June 23 at 10:37 am

Salange On Monday, June 23 at 11:26 am
Wow, wish I were there helping!!! Just awesome pics of the kids, dogs, land, etc.
And, ya know, I think I'd really like to talk with your father-in-law and ask him how life was/has been for him on the ranch. Bet he'd have some interesting stories to tell.
Have a Blessed Day Ree and thanks for sharing pics of your life.

Linda Wells On Monday, June 23 at 12:02 pm
Your home looked so beautiful up on the hill. The work is hard, but everyone seems very happy and content while doing it. Gorgeous views.
Doris On Monday, June 23 at 12:02 pm
I am at awh with those pictures. The morning mist, the guys working the cattle, the calf taking a ride, all the great landscape and the livestock and the four legged boys. They are all so.. beautiful! Your piece of gods country is just breath taking.
Thanks so much for sharing it. I just love your post, I check it every day. You truly make my day. Thanks Ree!

morgan On Monday, June 23 at 1:08 pm
Absolutely gorgeous photos! The lighting was just perfect. And I might have squealed out loud at work when I got to the pic of the calf in your truck. Don't you kinda just want to kiss it and pinch its cheeks? Just me? Ok then.
Christy Z On Monday, June 23 at 1:10 pm
Fun post. Caleb really starting to resemble Tim. Hope you're enjoying your visit to our neck of the woods:)
Marianne E On Monday, June 23 at 1:10 pm

Amy H. On Monday, June 23 at 2:37 pm
Just wanted to thank you for all the photos and stories of ranch life. They are my favorite reads on your blog (and that is saying something as I am a serious foodie and love your food posts)! My husband and I are rural folks at heart and life has us currently in an urban/suburban world. Your posts make me smile and lift my spirits daily. Such a beautiful world you live in. Thank you!

just a note to warn you Ree, your oldest son is just on the verge of being like his cousin. Brace yourself, one nite you'll go to bed and he is your little son and he gets up almost a grown man. Happens so fast. God Bless, you all are doing a good job. Dorothy from Kansas
Genny On Monday, June 23 at 4:26 pm
Love your post about ranch life.
Tissy On Monday, June 23 at 4:51 pm
Thanks for another great post, Ree! So enjoyable to see how the cattle are gathered on the Drummond Ranch. It's easy to pick out Bryce on his horse….he has a unique way of sitting a horse. Very good posture atop his stealthy steed…..yes, indeed! You know someday, Ree, your good-looking sons are going to bring home their own lady—–that they've fallen for…..and then there will be more….Drummonds, that is! Oh, the joy of life. You girls have a blast in NYC. Shop til' you drop, and eat at the best eateries/restaurants. You go, girl!
Tissy On Monday, June 23 at 6:39 pm
That photo of the little chocolate calf is priceless…..just to die for!! Thank you. Makes me want one just like that!
Judi From Jersey On Monday, June 23 at 5:04 pm

Beautiful pictures!!!!
Cindy Thompson On Monday, June 23 at 6:18 pm
I always enjoy your posts and seeing the workings on the ranch. Enjoy NYC!
Me On Monday, June 23 at 6:36 pm
Hello, Ree. I love this post. The pictures are wonderful. The is absolutely no better way to make a living than farming – but it is a LOT of constant work! I'm sure you know that. I'd like to share a fond memory, if I may. I thought of it when I saw the "wittle" calf (you are too funny!) in the back of your truck. One night and following day when I visited my husband's family's dairy farm, a cow had run off into the bush to have her calf. Well, my father-in-law adroitly put on his boots and sweaters and went out looking for her. My husband explained all the hoop-la, and I understood. They found her and her calf the next morning. I went out to barn and there was this most beautiful, yet frightened, young calf with the largest blue eyes I had ever seen. I asked if I could go up to him, and they said, yes. I walked up slowly and knelt down beside him. I pet him for a bit and he seemed to calm down. I couldn't help but throw my arms around his neck because he was so beautiful. I told my husband what I thought and felt. He smiled. Then he said rather wryly…city people…you think everything on a farm is cute. Wait until he gets bigger and wants to be playful and crush the wind out of you! Because the young calf was a "he", he didn't get to stay around too long on the dairy farm.
Iowa Farmers Daughter On Monday, June 23 at 7:23 pm
The ranch truly is God's Country. It's easy to understand the family wanting their final resting place at home on the ranch. I wouldn't want to leave it either. Who's cooking while you girls are in NYC shopping & having a good time? I suspect "freezer meals" for the crew left behind to tend the home front. Hope you have a good time. Blessed be.
Ana On Monday, June 23 at 7:35 pm
You are blessed. Thank you for sharing.
Robin E On Monday, June 23 at 8:22 pm

Marcia E On Monday, June 23 at 8:26 pm
Looks like a little piece of heaven. That calf, so pretty. Keep up the good work guys. You ladies have a nice time in the big apple, swing by Jersey for me and tell the Cake Boss, hey. Have a safe trip home.
Stepfunny On Monday, June 23 at 8:37 pm
Ahhhh a perfect Summer morning! I just want to take off my shoes and run barefoot in shorts thru the tall tall grass…..except I don't feel like cow patty stomping barefooted!:) wonderful photos Ree I enjoy your family so much! Have fun in NY !

PIKEVILLE – Four players reached double figures and one recorded a double-double the difficult way as No. 4 Pikeville rolled past Life University 81-67 Saturday morning at the East Kentucky Expo Center.
Pikeville ran its record to 12-1 by hitting 64.5 percent from the field in the first half. While the shooting cooled after the break, the Bears held on by forcing 18 turnovers to sweep the Running Eagles in the season series.
Life (6-7) shot only 38.4 percent from the field and remained winless in five games against Mid-South Conference teams this season.
After Life scored the opening basket, UPIKE put up seven quick points, with senior Jamar Briscoe leading the way with four. The Running Eagles never regained the lead, but did pull within a basket at 18-16 on two Josh Lee free throws with 11:58 left.
Another seven-point run – thanks to a pair of Chris Johnson assists – pushed the Bears on top 31-20 with 6:55 to play. The first-half lead got to 14 twice, including at 2:21 to play on a layup by senior Terrance Saintil to make it 42-28, before the Bears went to the break on top 46-34.
While the Bears never trailed, Life pulled within three at 53-50 when junior Latraius Mosley scored with 13:38 left in the game. Pikeville led by 16 on four different occasions down the stretch before settling for the 14-point win.
Briscoe led all scorers with 22 points. He added four rebounds, four assists and three steals in the win. Senior Trevor Setty followed with 16, hitting all three of Pikeville's three-point shots on the day.
Junior Darnell Tubbs came off the bench for 14 to go with four rebounds and three assists, while senior Chris Johnson and junior Brandon Greene had 10 each.
Greene paced the Bears with six rebounds while Johnson had 10 assists for his second double-double of the season.
Life had three players in double figures, led by senior Bobby Smith's double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds.
Mosley and senior Stefan Pope had 10 points each. Mosley had nine rebounds for the Eagles, who used 17 offensive rebounds for a 42-36 edge.
Pikeville will play its final game before Christmas on Monday when it hosts St. Andrews University. The game is the second of a doubleheader and set for a 6 p.m. tip.

Remember A Charity Week
Gifts in Wills are the lifeblood of many UK charities but while 74% of people support causes they care about in their life, only 7% include a charitable gift in their Will. Remember A Charity is a consortium of over 140 charities who work together to raise awareness of the importance of gifts in Wills. 17th – 23rd September sees the fourth Remember A Charity Week take place and, as a member, ShelterBox is getting involved.
'The theme for this year's Remember A Charity Week is 'the power of a piece of paper'. Throughout history, paper has been a powerful tool for change – the Civil Rights Act and the Magna Carter are just two documents that have had a massive impact on society.
'Remember A Charity Week asks people to think about how another piece of paper, a Will, can make a huge difference too.' James Webb, ShelterBox staff member and Response Team volunteer
Legacies make a huge difference to ShelterBox's work. We will engage with Remember A Charity Week through social media, encouraging supporters to think about the topic and whether it is right for them. People can also raise awareness of the event in their community by using Remember A Charity Week materials, including teabags, bookmarks and posters.
For more information on Remember A Charity Week, or to request materials, please email James Webb. For more information on leaving a gift to ShelterBox, please click here, or email James.

Thank you for your interest. You can now follow us at www.leaguelineup.com/eastonelite9u
The 2013-2014 9U season will be an interesting one =) We will put in tons of time, work and dedication to get this new team to the top. We have great plans for this new upcoming season. Travel, travel, travel. If you are interested in joining our team please follow us for tryout dates and times.
With so much learned and with the experience behind us I am happy to say good bye to the past and HELLO to our future. God has been good and has always kept one door open when the others have closed. Good times and greater things to come!
Thank you Coach Moe and Coach Alfonso for all the time you have dedicated and all that you have taught and instilled in all of the kids that have crossed your path these past couple of years. Our past success stems from you two. It has been proven! Good luck in the future and let's go EASTON ELITE!!!
Some misc. info that is too good to take off as of now =)
1. So close...yet, so far away! lol
2. Some great quotes that I have come across...
- "Mediocre minds usually dismiss anything which reaches beyond their own understanding" Francois de La Rochefoucauld
- "When small men attempt great enterprises, they always end by reducing them to the level of their mediocrity" Napoleon Bonaparte
3. Life is not always about trying to fix something that's broken. Sometimes, it's about starting over and creating something better.
4. I believe everything happens for a reason. Things go wrong, so that you can appreciate them when they're right. In this case, good things fall apart so better things can fall together. (Couldn't be more true!)
"There are three types of baseball players: those who make it happen, those who watch it happen, and those who wonder what happens."
~Tommy Lasorda~
If it is to be, it is up to me!

Finally, several people suggested variations on my cooking idea.
I particularly liked this one from Anna Rounseville
"You could have a show Cooking Tips from The Stars.
"I learned a few handy ideas while watching Alan Alda do some cooking in a few M*A*S*H* episodes, Especially how important a quick hand is for dealing with French toast, or how to smash the core out of the lettuce (from one of his movies).
"You would have no shortage of ideas."
Speaking of ideas, I want to thank everyone for reading and for their contributions.
If you decide to steal any of them—and you are welcome to do so—my only request is that you make a substantial donation to the charity of your choice in return, once you hit it big.

Florida Attorney General activates price gouging hotline
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Attorney General Pam Bondi activated Florida's price gouging hotline, and she urges Floridians to report any suspected price gouging during this declared State of Emergency by calling 1-866-9-NO-SCAM (1-866-966-7226).
Florida law prohibits extreme increases in the price of essential commodities such as food, water, hotels, ice, gasoline, lumber and equipment needed as a direct result of an officially declared emergency.
"With thousands of visitors traveling to Tampa Bay for the Republican National Convention, we will protect all residents and visitors from unscrupulous individuals who attempt to prey on consumers," said Attorney General Pam Bondi. "I encourage everyone to prepare for Tropical Storm Isaac before the storm arrives."
Violators of the price gouging statute are subject to civil penalties of $1,000 per violation and up to a total of $25,000 for multiple violations committed in a single 24-hour period.
In addition to the civil penalties for price gouging, state law criminalizes the sale of goods and services to the public without possession of an occupational license. Violators of the law can be charged with a second-degree misdemeanor.

A new feature we will be undertaking on www.thewatchmatchmaker.com is the Watch Matchmaker Series, where Meehna selects a celebrity and connects the dots to find the right timepiece for the star. This series will be written by Meehna and her contributors over at Longitude – Christies Watch Blog.
K. Cooper Ray is first and foremost a gentleman. In a world of lions he is the lion tamer carrying his whip through example and his excellent site Social Primer. Though a mainstay on the New York and Los Angeles social scene, he never allows the spotlight to go to his head, as this would count as bad behavior.
As K. Cooper demonstrates, manners aren't just in the way one acts but also how one dresses. Showing up to any function but a house cleaning party in a torn shirt and flip flops is verboten. After all, a well-turned out man (not classy, as K. Cooper abhors this word) stands himself in good stead and is ready to handle any situation. So what's a man to do if he's lost in the forest of clothing choices? Well, K. Cooper will lead him out with advice and even offer up some clothing. He has a reversible bow tie collection at Brooks Brothers. Yes, bow ties are cool. K. Cooper brings a new and modern pizazz to the neck gear with his contrasting patterns and colors.
Certainly when it comes to habiliments and impeccable comportment, K. Cooper is the go-to man. However, the dear fellow is in dire need of a watch makeover. He gallivants around in a Timex with interchangeable bands. When I spoke to him, he said he also has a stainless steel Datejust from 1959 that belonged to his grandfather, which he rarely wears. A delightful heirloom; I love old Rolexes. But, the Timex has to go and fast.
After careful consideration of K. Cooper's overall look and personality—he's a lovely phone companion, by the way, very polite but yet bubbly fun—I would recommend an IWC Portofino Hand-Wound 8 Days, Ref. IW510103, which comes with a Santoni strap. Bonus! The watch is produced in stainless steel and rose gold, but both for presentation and price I choose the stainless steel version with a silver-plated dial and rhodium indices for K. Cooper. The color combination goes with all clothing options yet is discreet.
In a manly 45mm case that wears well on all wrist sizes and a 12mm height that will slip under a cuff, the Portofino has a well-balanced dial that shows the date and power reserve. If K. Cooper is anything like me, he will forget the date and have to fumble around for his SmartPhone or else ask around. This is not every elegant. With the Portofino, a simple glance at the wrist reveals the proper time of the month. And, while the movement will last for a full 8 days (nine really, but 8 days keeps the mainspring within the right range) without winding, which is very convenient!), the power reserve reminds when a simple turn of the crown is needed. And having a hand wind to enjoy the process of interacting with your watch is quite dignified.
Inside the Portofino is a real movement, one that watch enthusiasts respect. It's the IWC-manufactured 59210 calibre, a large and accurate movement following in the 5000-calibre tradition. It features an indexless balance wheel beating at 28,800 per hour, a Breguet overcoil and hacking seconds, which allows for setting the watch to an exact moment.
Here's where the Portofino 8 Days completely jives with K. Cooper's sensibilities. It hugs the wrist with a Santoni strap with a color of your choosing, you know, the company that makes those luscious handmade shoes and boots in Italy. If you want hand-sewn seams and the anticatura finish, cultivated through a process of applying multiple coats of leather dye, then Santoni is your company.
How can K. Cooper resist all this? And it doesn't come at a wallet-busting price either. This specific model clocks in at $10,800

Samsung Epic 4G 2
Last Updated: Jun 24th,2011
Sprint is rumored to be carrying the Samsung Epic 4G 2 in Q3 2011. Although its name implies it'll be a Galaxy S II, it'll be a minor incremental upgrade not unlike what AT&T did with the Samsung Infuse and Verizon with the Samsung DROID Charge.
The Epic 4G 2 is said to have a 1.2GHz single-core Hummingbird processor and an 8 megapixel camera, but everything else will remain largely the same, including that hardware QWERTY keyboard.

Confessions of the big bellied extra-horny kind"Being a pregnant sex queen has made me extra horny. It seems lately the more I fuck the more turned on I get. Now that I'm well into my second trimester, the happy hormones have really kicked in and my desire has gotten so bad that I'm live on preggo sex cam 24/7. I have done tons of fucking on fetish chat rooms - oral, deep anal penetration - and I can't describe the rush I get knowing that guys from all over are watching my squirting pussy in action! The excitement is such a turn, it makes my nipples on my huge tits harden and sometimes they even start dripping - I feel like one of those lactating babes you see on fetish sex cams, and I guess now I'm one of them. Well, I'm looking forward to fucking and lactating well into my third trimester and I'll be on cam all the time".

Sometimes, despite careful preparation by counsel and the witnesses, direct examination unravels. But if you've reviewed these crisis control techniques, you'll be ready when a problem presents itself during your direct.
Certain problems seem to recur in direct examinations. If these problems come up for you, try these suggestions to catch your nosediving direct before it crashes and burns:
Problem #1: Forgetful Witness. The witness can barely remember his own name, much less the detailed events of April 23, 1982. You should:
Problem #2: Mistaken Witness. Ask the witness immediately after repeating the question if the witness meant to say "yes" when she said "no." Follow up by establishing the witness' nervousness or other reason for error (fatigue, confusion, carelessness).
Problem #3: Nonresponsive Witness. Sometimes even your client won't answer your questions forthrightly. If your client is eccentric, curmudgeonly, high-strung, or otherwise uncontrollable, keep calm and don't hesitate to treat the client as hostile. Direct your client to listen closely to the question and to answer that question and not another question. Tell the client not to argue his or her own case but to trust you to do that. The jury will understand that you want to get facts to them fairly and succinctly and that the client's passions need to be checked to do this.
Problem #4: Unsympathetic Judge. Some judges are patient all of the time, but many have occasional lapses from grace. The attorney, client, or one of the witnesses, may rub the judge the wrong way. Spot this problem before it develops, and take damage control measures:
CEB's Effective Direct and Cross-Examination covers all aspects of witness examination and offers practical advice for the inevitable hitches that come up.

Seven education bills are currently awaiting the signature or veto of Gov. Jerry Brown – and before too many more stack up, we thought a review was in order.
For more check out Edsource's EdTracker, a tool that follows the ins and outs of education legislation in Sacramento.
"Willful defiance" bill
AB 420 would limit the authority of a superintendent of a school district and a principal to suspend or expel a student for the act of "willful defiance." It is meant to curb the number of suspensions and expulsions in the state for what critics say is a vaguely-defined infraction.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California is the bill's sponsor and says the "willful defiance" infraction "disproportionately affects students of color, LGBTQ students, and students with disabilities," according to the group's website. Brown vetoed an earlier version of the bill, saying, "I cannot support limiting the authority of local school leaders," according to the Sacramento Bee.
If passed, the bill would be a moot point for LA Unified, which in 2013 became the first school district in the state to ban defiance as grounds for suspension, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Bill to mandate kindergarten attendance
AB 1444 would make kindergarten attendance mandatory in the state. Currently, kindergarten is optional, but students starting in the 2016-17 school year must have completed one year of kindergarten before entering first grade if the bill becomes law. The bill is sponsored by the California Teacher's Association (CTA).
A posting on the CTA's website states: "CTA believes in providing students with a quality education that begins the very moment they get to our schools. Making kindergarten mandatory is critical so that all children can be better prepared for career or college by the 12th grade."
Other groups, such as the Private & Home Educators of California, oppose the bill, saying it takes away a level of parental rights. A posting on the group's website states: "Advocates of extending government control of all children from birth will be able to use passage of AB 1444 as an incremental step toward establishing seamless, cradle-to-grave government-controlled education and development programs."

THURSDAY, Aug. 14, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A new survey of American adults across 18 states finds 17 percent drinking at least one sugary soda per day, with rates varying widely across states.
For example, while about 12 percent of people in New York state or Hawaii downed one or more non-diet sodas each day, that number jumped to 30 and 32 percent in Tennessee and Mississippi, respectively.
The report, from researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also found high levels of sweetened fruit drink consumption, with close to 12 percent of adults downing at least one serving daily.
All of this is adding to increased caloric intake and widening waistlines, experts say.
"I think most people still don't realize just how much sugar is found in these sugar-sweetened beverages," said Dana Angelo White, a registered dietitian who is a clinical assistant professor of athletic training and sports medicine at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn.
"I often do a demonstration and physically show people what 10 to 20 teaspoons of sugar looks like -- it's very powerful," she said. "There's also a disconnect on the downsides of all that sugar -- so bad for teeth, blood sugar and waistlines -- the extra calories really pile up quickly."
The CDC research team, led by Dr. Gayathri Kumar of the agency's National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, agreed.
"Regular soda and fruit drinks contain added sugars and are sources of calories but have few, if any, essential nutrients," they wrote in the Aug. 15 issue of the CDC journal Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
But where is soda and fruit drink consumption the highest? To find out, the researchers looked at 2012 data from a major U.S. government health survey. The data concentrated on more than 113,000 adult residents in 18 states across the United States.
Besides pinpointing which states had the highest and lowest rates of sugary drinks consumption, the study revealed other patterns. Frequent soda and fruit-drink consumers were typically younger and male blacks or Hispanics.
About one in every four people aged 18 to 34 drank one or more sodas per day, the study found, compared to just 10 percent of people age 55 or older. Men were more likely to drink sodas each day than women, at 21 percent versus 13.5 percent, respectively.
And while 21 percent of blacks and almost 23 percent of Hispanics drank a soda or more each day, that number fell to below 16 percent for whites, the researchers found.
Better education about the poor nutritional content of sodas and fruit drinks might help turn this situation around, the CDC team said. They pointed to prior research that showed that blacks were less knowledgeable about the caloric content of the average 24-ounce soda compared to whites. (That size cola averages about 300 calories, according to Harvard University researchers.)
Factors such as poverty, cultural issues and a lack of access to more nutritious food and drink options might play a role in state-to-state disparities in soda/fruit drink consumption, the researchers added.
Other nutrition experts had little good to say about sugary beverages.
"One of the main evils of soda is that it displaces other healthier choices," said Arlene Stein, nutrition support dietitian at Winthrop-University Hospital in Mineola, N.Y.
"Calorically dense liquids like soda do not satiate hunger," she pointed out. "Rather, they promote a rush of insulin, resulting in hunger soon after consumption."
Nina Eng is chief clinical dietitian at Plainview Hospital in Plainview, N.Y. She said that, "the American Heart Association recommends that women consume no more than six teaspoons of added sugar per day [about 100 calories], and men consume no more than nine teaspoons [150 calories] per day."
According to Eng, "one 12-ounce serving of soda contains eight teaspoons of sugar, which exceeds AHA recommendations for women in just one beverage."

The Atlanta Hawks signed forward Pero Antic. Antic, a 6-foot-11, 260-pounder, averaged 6.2 points and 3.3 rebounds in 30 games for Olympiacos in Greece last season.
Olympiacos has won the past two Euroleague championships.
"Pero is a skilled and versatile big man who will add depth to our frontcourt," Hawks general manager Danny Ferry said. "He will fit in well with what we're building and we're excited to add him to the team."
Antic, 30, has been playing professional since 1999. - Reuters
