WASHINGTON, Dec. 23, 2008 The holiday decorations are ever-present at the 926th Engineer Brigade headquarters at Camp Liberty, Iraq. Competitions are under way to determine who can fashion the most festive door, and holiday parties – without liquor, of course – remind everyone that the days are counting down to Christmas.
The lineup for Dec. 25 includes an all-hands "Sapper call," a "basketball brawl" similar to the one the brigade sponsored at Thanksgiving, and football games playing back to back on the dining facility TVs.
But Army Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Talley, the brigade commander, said the festivities can't overshadow the inevitable bottom line: "In the end," he said, "Christmas is another duty day."
"It's another duty day, and we can't let our guard down," Talley told American Forces Press Service from his headquarters in the Multinational Division Baghdad area of responsibility. "We will try to accommodate and allow as many soldiers as possible to have a lower [operating tempo] that day than on a typical day, but in the end, it is still a duty day. We have to do our duty, because that is why we are here."
Army Sgt. Randy Witzel, operations noncommissioned officer for Talley's Task Force Iron Gimlet, could get the holiday blues if he let himself. This Christmas, his second in Iraq, will be his first as a married man. Witzel married his wife, Lynne, last New Year's Eve, just two months before deploying to Iraq.
This year, they'll spend their first Christmas as a married couple and their first wedding anniversary more than 8,000 miles apart.
"A phone call, a Christmas card and Internet messages is about the best way to deal with it," said Witzel, an Army Reservist like Talley and many of his fellow soldiers. "The way you have to look at it is: it's just another day. If you try not to think about it, that's the best way to get through it."
At their home in Pensacola, Fla., Lynne Witzel was busy doing last-minute gift shopping, and had decorated the house to make the holiday special for her 15- and 6-year-old children. She expected to spend her anniversary with the same friends who attended her wedding. This year, however, the groom will be far away, not scheduled to return until early spring.
"I hope he can call," she said.
Contemplating the holiday ahead, her husband tried not to think about the holiday backyard barbecue he'd be missing. He took consolation in the special meals Camp Liberty's dining facility will serve and the "little more laid-back day" he and his fellow soldiers hope for.
If there's a reward for spending Christmas in Iraq -- or for being deployed at all -- Witzel said, it's knowing the impact he and his soldiers have had on the Iraq people's lives. Their engineering projects have helped restore essential services such as water and electricity, removed debris and waste from the streets and rebuilt schools.
In doing so, they've helped build confidence in the Iraqi government and brought violence to record lows.
Sadr City, which Talley calls one of his brigade's biggest success stories, transformed from a "very vicious, dangerous combat zone" to a thriving city with bustling markets and children playing in the parks.
"It is just phenomenal, and whether you are an American, a Westerner or an Iraqi, most people can't believe it," he said. "They just shake their heads in disbelief at the positive changes that have occurred.
"We've brought peace and normalcy," Witzel said.
The most gratifying part, he said, is seeing the changes in the children he encounters. "It's all about the kids," he said. "That's the next generation that is going to grow up and make a difference in the world."

CASCADE LOCKS -- The Hood River County Sheriff's Department is investigating the theft of $4,000 from an ATM machine in the lobby of a Cascade Locks restaurant.
Detective Gerry Tiffany said between the evening hours of Dec. 17 and morning of Dec. 18 an unknown suspect pried open the east door at The Charburger and disabled two surveillance cameras on the premises.
After accomplishing those tasks, Tiffany said the suspect then used tools to open the front of the freestanding ATM machine near the business' front door and removed the cash stored inside.
"This crime appears to have been committed by a person or persons familiar with the building," said Tiffany.
An investigation is underway and anyone with information about the crime is asked to call Tiffany or Detective Bob Davidson at 386-2098.

Kofi Annan had the best of intentions trying to end the bloodshed in Syria, says Robert Grenier in Al-Jazeera, but "by permitting the Syrian regime added time, it is morally equivalent to aiding and abetting Bashar al-Assad," he writes. [Read More]

Finished it!
Details, for those who care, on my blog.
Grace and Peace,
I love the hat. I have started mine but it drives me crazy as I hate charts...so I write it out long hand. Thanks for the info on row 21 as It really didn't make sense to me.
So true! Time, Talent and treasure - but in far too many cases the former two are ignored because of the third.
Tim: The hat is great. Be proud. You are a talented guy Sir.
Banjo Lee Jones
Great looking hat! Cabling? I'm too scared!
I love the hat, but I love your T-Shirt even better...... where did you get it?
I presume you're talking about the Yarrn! T-shirt... I got it from x-treme geek.com
The yarrn! t-shirt page is:
If you google "yarrrn t-shirt" you'll find a few other places that sell them too, but x-treme geek is a fun website to play around with.
Grace and Peace,
If you were a nun, it'd be a habitat habit-hat!
Gorgeous. Did you ever hear from Jared on row 21? It seems we all manage to figure it out, but a definitive answer or correction would be nice.
I heard from him today. The official answer is to add 2 Knit stitches at the end of the pattern on row 21. Essentially, pretend the last two stitches on the chart are white instead of gray.
(You then skip those 2 knits on the LAST time knitting the pattern in order to move the starting point for the round 22.)
Grace and Peace,
Great hat, great model.
I really like the look to this; it would mean extra work, but it looks like a great pattern for the helmet liners our local groups are making for the troops or maybe an even better chemo hat. Where could I get the pattern? I searched google and found aHabitat Hat pattern for sale, is that the one, or do you know of a free one?
It's a buy pattern by Jared (BrooklynTweed) - His work is fantastic. You can check out his blog at: http://brooklyntweed.blogspot.com/. A direct link to the Habitat post is here.
Grace and Peace,
Visit Crafty Andy's Blog I just got this pattern as I find it a bit challenging because it is Charted, but it is a fantastic hat. How long did it take you to make? Nice color by the way!
I'm sure you could pull the chart off. I'm TOTALLY NOT a chart guy. I'd typically rather the pattern were 20 pages long but written out in long hand. (Don't like charts in tatting either, for some reason, they're difficult for me.)
Either way, it took me about 2 weeks of relaxed knitting (I also had to re-start it twice because of dumb mistakes). The last couple of days were just sitting because I was confused about one of the rows. For someone like you, it's probably a 1-week project or less (honestly, I'm not just blowing rose petals up your backside) :-)
Grace and Peace,
Beautiful hat and eye's ;-). I have added this hat to my ever growing queue.
awww... *blush*
Excellent yarn and great pattern choice. The picture shows a subtle stripe which looks quite fine. And just in time for the upcoming cold weather.
You do know that your whole congregation is going to want one now, right?
he he he... I was going to make one for our harvest festival (first weekend of October) but I don't think I'm going to knit anything - it always gets lumped in with the other knit stuff and goes for dollar or two. I'd rather give them away as gifts (I think I AM going to make one for one of the guys in our church though).
It's remarkably comfortable. I've always been a little scared of wool, but I'm loving it more and more.
Grace and Peace,
Handcrafts being sold through a church are debatable; I finally got to the point where I would just donate the cash it would cost me to make the item since normally they would end up selling it for less.
we used to hand craft Christmas wreaths (gathered the greens, made the backs out of natural materials, each one hand crafted, usually with several different greens, hand decorated, etc, etc, etc.) We couldn't get even $10 each for them, though less elaborate wreaths at the florists were selling for $45 and $50 bucks!
MMario - I'm not divorced from reality - we're having a trial separation
Crafts are always such a crap-shoot. I once spent about 100 hours tatting an edging for a hankey and it sold for $10... another time I put in a handful of little berry knit hats and they went for $15 each. My general rule is that no matter how much work I put into something, if I honestly can't be willing to see it go for 50 cents, I don't put it in a church sale. It isn't that people don't care, or even (I think) that there aren't people who understand how much work goes into projects; I think it's just that people get overwhelmed and those realities don't play into it when the auctioneer holds the item up.
Our harvest festival is kind of the highlight of the year in our congregation... soup/pie/etc. and a little auction. I think often getting people to donate what they've worked on is more valuable than ensuring things are "well paid for" -- does that make sense?
Grace and Peace,

@ lawman75: I don't blame you for not knowing much about breastfeeding because...how could you? Your notion that an obstetrician can instruct a pregnant mother on nursing techniques is faulty because.... the baby isn't there yet!!! Breastfeeding is a profound example of a symbiotic relationship. The mother's behavior affects the baby's, the baby's affects the mother. You can't accomplish much in the way of instruction if the "partner" isn't there. And you misrepresent theh NYC plan: Medical professionals WOULD advise patients...it's just that they'd be nurses (gasp!) instead of doctors.
@ Samantha Levine: I wasn't publicly denigrating the program. As I state, it's a good idea. It replaces a system that subtley sabotaged many a new mom's desire to nurse. My objection is limited to the mayor not merely "standing behind" the program, but touting it in a press conference, The risk of that behavior -- as you can see from the comments here -- is to politicize breast-feeding. Which is about the last thing a new mother needs.
@ GeorgiaRulz: You've done a nice job of explaining how insidious that "gift" of formula can be. However, apparently you skipped over this paragraph of my column:
"The new city program is laudable. Instead of giving new mothers free samples of formula and virtually no education about breast-feeding, hospitals now will do the reverse. They'll save the formula for true emergencies and give every new mother a bit of instruction in the benefits — and, presumably, challenges — of breastfeeding."
@ mary lou stark: The new policy doesn't *ban* bottle feeding....it just makes sure a new mother has the right information during the crucial window of opportunity. But you and other posters are correct: not every baby cooperates with a mother's desire to nurse. Welcome to parenthood...
@ lawman75: Obstetricians have neither the time nor the expertise to offer how-to guidance during the first crucial 72 hours. As anyone who's ever been hospitalized knows, they are in and out on their morning rounds.
@ johntko: To be clear, at the time of the initial dispute over the targets, the Piersons were still volunteers in a chartered 4-H club. They felt the equipment belonged to that club -- not to all the clubs. But they never argued that they *personally* owned the equipment.
@John Hendrickson: I share your belief that there are transcendent and fixed moral values. We just disagree about what they are. I'm for the Golden Rule. You would see Sally Ride as nothing beyond a "sodomite." (Can women even *be* sodomites?....)
@AMN: Exactly. If she had a son in scouting, she wouldn't even be allowed to work in the kitchen at the annual spaghetti dinner fundraiser. Too risky.
@Spencer: Yes, they should let parents of incoming Cub Scouts know that if the day ever arrives when their son begins to doubt his sexual orientation, he'll be kicked out of scouting.
@gimmeafb49: The premise of my column was that Boy Scouting should let in the one group about which they need not worry about sexual attraction: lesbians.
@ Mr. Fantastic: My use of the word "ignorant" was linked specifically to those people who believe all homosexuals are potential child molesters. Not all people who simply disapprove of homosexuality.
@jerseytarzan: And yes, during the Virginia Tech shooting, I believe that several of the students who reacted with life-saving first aid to their fallen classmates were former Boy Scouts as well. I just wish they could be all those wonderful things as well as kind to a 13-year-old boy in private anguish over his sexuality.
@ osiyo: Thanks so much. It's pretty clear in the print edition that it is a personal column. On the web, however, everything looks the same.
@kodi72: When I wrote about Boy Scounting a few years ago, several Scout leaders told me about the extensive training they go through and the rules that are in place so that a young scout is never alone with an older scout/leader. I'm "assuming" they were accurate in what they told me.
@ John Hendrickson: First of all, thank you for using your name. Bonus points for that. What would you say if the adult leader wasn't doing anything to "openly avow" any aspect of his or her personal life? Was just quietly taking tickets at the spaghetti dinner fundraiser, or working in the kitchen at same? I fail to grasp the threat.
@ kodi72: Your hypothetical 16-year-old with the overactive hormones is one of two things: If he is forcing himself on a 10-year-old, he's a pedophile. If he's forcing himself on a weaker 16-year-old, he's a rapist. Adolescent boys "do act on impulse and are dumb," but the vast, vast, vast majority of them are not criminals. And the Boy Scout organization has an extensive collection of policies and training to make sure things like that don't happen.
As for your "jew rabbi" comment, I don't even know what to say. Do you -- alone among us -- know of any other kind of rabbi? lol
@winterswar: What do you suggest should happen in the case of a Den mother who, 12 years into marriage, realizes she's gay. She and her husband divorce, and she quietly goes about her life. Should she be kicked out just because of what people in town surmise about her love life? Should her 10-year-old son -- who would benefit from the continuity of Scouting as his parents go through divorce -- be forced to choose between loyalty to Scouting and loyalty to his mother? Really, people?
@ Jerseyboy_222: I was a Girl Scout leader for 13 years, and am SO glad I didn't have to pry into the budding sexual identities of my pre-teen Scouts to make sure they were "morally straight." That's just creepy.
@ gweyes: I understand it perfectly. I just think it's mean to kids.
@ deporttraitors: It's not *my* logic that would ban adults from being leaders of a group of kids of the gender to which they were attracted. That equates all sexual orientation with child abuse -- which I called "scientifically dubious" at the start of the column. Pedophiles are pedophiles. What's most important is to have rules in place -- as both Boy and Girl Scouting do -- that bar leaders from being alone with a child. And a shout-out to the Girl Scouts, who have decided to avoid wading into this issue.

Even as hot as it is now in the summertime, your pet still wants to play! Be careful, because your furry friend may become overheated - and that could lead to tragic consequences.
Summertime heat can pose a serious health risk for our pets. It's usually a combination of the temperature and the humidity in the air that creates the danger, because of the way a pet's body rids itself of excess heat.

The Better Business Bureau has a warning for consumers. It says people in Monroe County have contacted them about door-to-door salespeople, asking to see their energy bills.
According to the BBB, they're telling homeowners they can reduce their heating bills. Peggy Penders, a bureau spokesperson says the BBB is very concerned with these types of solicitations and advises people to take precautions when speaking with salespeople at their door.
Peggy Penders, BBB Spokesperson, said, "We really urge consumers to avoid door to door offers being made at their front door. Unless it's a neighborhood child they know or a Girl Scout cookie which is really the safest door to door sales."
She also recommends taking a look over the offer twice, checking out the company at the Better Business Bureau website and using a credit card as payment.

iPad specific newspaper to land later this month
Two of the most influential and powerful men in the non-political world Rupert Murdoch and Steve Jobs are set to share a stage later this month to officially unveil their upcoming iPad-based joint venture, new reports suggest.
Believed to be scheduled for January 19th, Apple head Jobs and News Corp boss Murdoch with take to the stage of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to launch The Daily, the first daily updated iPad-specific newspaper.
Murdoch, whose company News Corp owns some of the world's largest publications and broadcasters including The Sun, The Times and Sky, has dubbed the Daily the "number one most exciting project" of recent months and has declared his willingness to invest up to $30 million (£19.3 million) in the digital release.
The latest reports seemingly confirm a number of predictions made shortly before the Christmas period which pegged The Daily with a launch in the week beginning January 17th. It is believed that a weekly subscription to The Daily will set Stateside users back a penny shy of $1.
Although far from confirmed, it has been suggested that, based on Apple's announcement of the iPad late last January, the much mooted iPad 2 will launch alongside The Daily later this month.
Stay tuned to T3.com and the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds for all the latest on the launch of The Daily and the highly anticipated iPad 2.

Read Poems by

John Loving Iii
hope is a dream
a wonderful thing
like a kite it takes flight
and flies
as high as our string will let it fly
in the wind it twist and dives
but hold on to the string
by my faith i will
hope is a dream
a beautiful thing
like an egg lain to hatch
we wait and wait
and keep it warm
waiting for it to crack
hope is a dream
an expressive thing
a seed we dared to plant
we water and feed
and attend it's needs
till something from the dirt turns green
hope is a dream
a colorful thing
a vision to be realized
we hold to our hopes
and act with our votes
to see our dreams materialized
hope is a dream
a mysterious thing
that most men say don't matter
but given time to pray about
the immaterial becomes matter
hope is a dream
a magical thing
with out it we may as well die
but beyond the clouds
and things that we see with our eyes
is the promise of a great surprise

The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law on January 2, 2013. The Act permanently extends many of the Bush-era tax cuts, while increasing tax rates for higher income taxpayers. Below is a brief summary of the major provisions of the Act:
Tax rates
Tax rates will remain the same for taxpayers with Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) under the following thresholds: $400,000 (single filers), $425,000 (heads of household), $450,000 (married filing joint and surviving spouses) and $225,000 (married filing separate). For taxpayers with AGI above these amounts, there is now an additional tax bracket of 39.6%.
Similarly, the top tax rate on dividend and capital gain income has changed from 15% to 20% for taxpayers with income over the same thresholds listed above. The 15% rate is still in place for those with income under these amounts.
Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) Relief
The Act provides permanent relief from the individual AMT. For 2012, the exemption amounts have increased to $50,600 for unmarried filers and $78,750 for joint filers ($39,350 for married filing separate). The Act also allows nonrefundable personal credits to be applied to AMT beginning in 2012.
Personal Exemption and Itemized Deduction Phase-out
The Act permanently repeals the phase out of personal exemptions and itemized deductions for taxpayers with AGI over $250,000 (single filers), $275,000 (heads of households), $300,000 (married filing jointly and surviving spouse), and $150,000 (married filing separate). These amounts are adjusted annually for inflation. For those with income over these amounts, the phase-outs will apply.
Other Deductions
The deduction for state and local general sales taxes has been extended through 2013.
The Act also extends the above-the-line deduction for qualified tuition expenses through 2013 as well (maximum deductions based on income thresholds remain the same).
Estate Tax Rates
The Act permanently extends the unified estate and gift tax rates that were in effect for 2012, with the exception that a top tax rate of 40% (up from 35%) will apply to cumulative gifts and taxable estates above the exemption amount. The exemption amount remains at $5 million, as adjusted for inflation. For 2012, the exclusion is $5,120,000; for 2013, it's $5,250,000.
Payroll tax
The new law does not extend the 2% reduction in payroll taxes in effect for 2011 and 2012.
New Healthcare Taxes Effective in 2013
Enacted in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, these taxes became effective January 1, 2013. An additional 0.9% Medicare tax on wages and self-employment income will apply to income over $250,000 for married taxpayers ($200,000 for single filers; $125,000 married filing separate).
The 2010 Act also added a 3.8% tax on certain types of net investment income. For individuals, the tax is imposed on the lesser of 1) the individual's net investment income or 2) the excess of modified AGI over $250,000 for taxpayers filing a joint return ($200,000 for single filers and $125,000 for married filing separate returns).
If you would like more details about these provisions or any other aspect of the new law, please contact W. King Copler.
IRS Circular 230 requires us to inform you that any statements contained in this communication are not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by you or any other taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding any penalties that may be imposed by federal tax law.

(AP) CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Roush Fenway Racing is making more changes to its crew chief lineup, moving veteran Jimmy Fennig to work with Carl Edwards next season.
Fennig has been paired with Matt Kenseth, who is leaving at the end of the season.
He'll move to the No. 99 team with Edwards next year. Kenseth's replacement, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., will be paired with crew chief Scott Graves, who has been working in the Nationwide Series this season. Graves led Edwards to a win at Watkins Glen in his first race as crew chief this year.

Phillies at Mets
7:10 p.m. on NBC10
Riding a four-game winning streak with seven wins in their last nine games, the Phillies gear up for a nine-game road trip that begins Friday night in New York.
Here are five things you need to know about the Phils' series opener with the Mets at Citi Field:
Fight for fourth
For the first time since June 27, the Phillies have a chance to emerge from the basement of the NL East.
A win would put the Phils (61-72) a half-game ahead of the Mets (62-72). The Phillies haven't been ahead of the Mets in the standings in 55 games.
A major reason the Phillies have trailed the Mets for over two months now is their futility against New York. The Phils are 5-11 against the Mets this season and 22-31 against them since 2012.
The lack of success against New York over this three-year span has been strange. The Phils are 215-242 since 2012 and the Mets are 210-248. New York has a .585 winning percentage against the Phillies and a .442 winning percentage against all other teams.
Howard on a roll
It hasn't been one of his patented late-season power surges, but Ryan Howard has had a productive month of August.
The Big Piece went 3 for 5 Wednesday night as the Phils completed a sweep of the Nationals, and over his last 20 games has hit .288/.388/.466 with four doubles, three homers and 18 RBIs.
Split that in half and the numbers have been even more impressive. Over Howard's last 10 games, he's hit .353 (12 for 34) with three doubles, a homer and seven RBIs. Most impressively, he has seven walks and eight strikeouts over that span.
Howard's plate discipline has been a bit better this season. He's walked 55 times, putting him on pace for 67, which would be his highest total since 2011.
Howard's season batting average is still just .226, but all the walks have his on-base percentage at .312, which is exactly the National League average.
Obviously, league-average is not what you're hoping for from a $25 million per year player, but based on how disappointing Howard has been over the last three seasons, the Phillies will take what they can get.
Buchanan's turn
Rookie right-hander David Buchanan makes his 15th start of the season and third against the Mets. He enters 6-7 with a 4.21 ERA and 1.32 WHIP.
Buchanan is on an impressive run — he hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of his last 10 starts. During that time he's 5-4 with a 3.47 ERA in 59 2/3 innings, just about six frames per game.
Buchanan has been able to find success by limiting the free passes. He has walked just 2.3 batters per nine innings, the best rate for any Phillies starting pitcher this season other than Cliff Lee.
In two previous starts against the Mets, Buchanan went 0-2 with a 4.97 ERA. But current Mets are just 7 for 42 (.167) against him with no home runs.
Another look at deGrom
When the Phillies faced Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom on May 31, he was still a relative non-factor in New York's grand scheme of starting pitching.
On that night, deGrom struck out 11 Phillies over six innings and put himself on the map. He impressed with a mid-90s fastball and three offspeed pitches: a slider, curveball and changeup. He started the night with six shutout innings before Jimmy Rollins and Chase Utley reached base to start the seventh and scored on Howard's three-run homer.
For deGrom, that start completed a breakout month of May, and he hasn't slowed down much since, firmly securing a spot in New York's rotation for the future. That's no small accomplishment, either — with Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler, Jon Niese, Bartolo Colon and super prospect Noah Syndergaard in the mix, the Mets will have formidable rotation next year and beyond.
In 17 starts this season, the 26-year-old deGrom is 6-6 with a 3.13 ERA. He's struck out 101 batters and walked 35 in 106 1/3 innings.
After his 16th start, deGrom went on the 15-day DL with shoulder soreness. He returned last Saturday against the Dodgers and allowed five runs over six innings with seven strikeouts in a loss.
But in nine starts before going on the disabled list, deGrom was 6-1 with a 1.82 ERA. He struck out 60 batters in 59 1/3 innings and allowed just one home run.
The Phillies will have their hands full Friday night.
This and that
• Rollins is one walk away from matching his career-high of 62. With 17 home runs, 39 extra-base hits, 27 steals, 61 walks and elite defense at the game's most important position, Rollins has been as productive as a .242 hitter can be.
• Mets first baseman Lucas Duda has 26 home runs, 76 RBIs and 54 walks this season, putting him in pretty elite company. The only six other major-leagues who match all three criteria are Giancarlo Stanton, Mike Trout, David Ortiz, Jose Bautista, Victor Martinez and Josh Donaldson.
• The Phillies' bullpen has a 2.59 ERA in the month of August with 84 strikeouts and just two home runs allowed in 73 innings. Remove Phillippe Aumont from the equation and the 'pen has a 1.90 ERA this month.

Oprah Winfrey's show yesterday featured interviews with Michael Jackson's parents, Katherine and Joe, and his children, Prince Michael, Paris, and Blanket. It was pretty fascinating stuff, especially when you compare his well-spoken children who referred lovingly to their father to Joe's harsh admission that he beat Michael with a belt. Here are some of the more choice quotes we were struck by from the hour long show.
Paris Jackson jumped into the spotlight at her father's funeral with an impromptu speech eulogizing her father. She was the most vocal and open of Jackson's children while speaking with Oprah, telling her "I kinda felt like no one understands what a good father he was. I'd say he was the best cook ever. He was just a normal dad, except he was the best dad. He made the best French toast in the world." She acknowledged the masks that Jackson made the children wear by saying "He tried to raise us without us knowing who he was, but that didn't really go so well."
Jackson's mother Katherine also spoke lovingly of her son, but was more frank about his behavior, such as the addiction to plastic surgery and his skin-lightening. She said her son lightened his skin because he started to lose pigment due to vitiligo and that he "didn't want to start looking like a spotted cow." However, she says, "I don't know what in the world he did to change that, but he did." We're guessing the stockpiles of skin-whitening creams had something to do with it. Katherine also says she thought his nose got "too small, like a toothpick" and spoke to him about his addiction to surgery, going so far as to ask Michael's plastic surgeon to perform dummy operations on Michael's nose so he would be tricked into thinking he had work done when he hadn't. It's sort of heartbreaking to listen to a mother discuss her son's issues like this, but it explains so much in retrospect.
Even more issues were explained when Joe Jackson spoke and tried to explain how he disciplined his kids. Joe said he disciplined his kids because "It kept them out of jail and kept them right," and that "I never beat him. That never happened." Katherine later clarified "You might as well admit it, that's the way black people raised their children. He used a strap." Oh, see, it wasn't Joe administering the beatings, it was the strap that beat his children.
So many questions were answered but so many more remain. And while we cringe thinking about everything in Jackson's past and all the issues he had with his looks and his addictions and his family history, it's reassuring to see his children turning out so well.

3 Privacy Policy Essentials
Doing business today is growing ever more complex. Potential customers connect to your brand from a multitude of devices: smartphones, tablets, pc's and a range of applications: browsers, Facebook, Pintrest, and LinkedIn, to name a few. To deliver a consistently personal and optimized experience often requires tracking technology and partnerships with third parties to ensure that you are correctly identifying these individuals and capturing accurate information. As the complexity of your online business presence grows, it becomes more difficult to be transparent with consumers about how you collect and use their data. Your privacy policy and privacy notices need to effectively communicate these data practices to potential customers, or you risk losing brand trust.
A privacy policy that tackles the complexity of today's online presence incorporates these privacy policy essentials: transparency, choice, and accountability.
Journalists, concerned citizens, and government agencies are scouring apps and websites, looking for privacy violations, both real and potential. Don't let someone else control the conversation with a damaging exposé on how you collect and use sensitive data. Let your privacy policy do the talking and leave no stone unturned in your quest to be transparent. Here's what you need to cover:
• Collection and use of personal information
• Sharing of information with third parties.
• Tracking and whether you allow third parties to do so
• Whether you and/or your partners target ads to your users
• How users can access, update and delete their information
The various privacy choices you offer your customers should be properly explained in your privacy policy. If you allow customers to opt-out of behavioral advertising, for example, include a link to the opt-out mechanism in your privacy policy. Even better, embed the mechanisms itself if possible. By incorporating privacy choices into your privacy policy you can make it a more dynamic, responsive form of transparency for your customers. It's an opportunity to not only tell them what you're doing with their data, but to also show them exactly how they can exercise control and implement their privacy preferences.
If you don't hold yourself accountable to implement good privacy practices someone else might take up the challenge. Not only does your written policy have to be consistent with your actual practice, you need to give consumers an easy way to resolve privacy issues. Third-party privacy dispute resolution, for example, is a requirement for U.S. companies that do business in the EU and want to comply with EU privacy law. At the end of the day, using a reputable third-party to hold your business accountable to its privacy promises can be the most cost-effective, efficient way to protect your business, your customers, and your brand.

The appointment of Hampshire College's first professor of children's theatre has expanded educational and creative opportunities not only to the Hampshire campus, but also for area youngsters.
Natalie Sowell, who has a rich background in performance and administration with children's theatre groups as well as educational training in the theory and techniques of theatre for young audiences, is eager to reach out to local schools and organizations. She is committed to the idea that theatre can promote social change by exposing children to new ideas and different ways of experiencing the world, and she explains that the college students in her classes will benefit from the collaboration, also.
"Going into classrooms and community centers and conducting workshops is a necessary means of gaining experience," she said. "College students interested in theatre for young audiences and creative dramatics need to take their work out into the community."
Children's theatre is a rapidly growing field, which takes three major forms, Sowell said: (1) Creative drama is concerned with the educational process, with a leader teaching a group of youngsters through drama. It can be integrated into the classroom, bring life to subjects like math or science, or used to teach children to express themselves. (2) Youth theatre is about the production, with children performing and learning about the art of theatre. (3) Theatre for young audiences involves professionals performing for children. Not surprisingly, Sowell - who took her first drama class at age five - is interested "in all of it."
She recently completed a Master of Fine Arts degree in theatre for youth from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She has directed numerous children's and youth theatre productions, and served as artistic director of Ujima Youtheatre in Nebraska, named for the Swahili term for "collective work and responsibility."
"The multicultural aspects of theatre provide an amazing way to introduce children to how different people live, mutual respect, honoring different people's experiences," Sowell said. One of the difficulties facing those who work in theatre for young audiences is the lack of inclusivity. Traditionally, stories have not been told from many perspectives, and she is particularly concerned with finding and creating materials that are more inclusive.
Children's theatre is not entirely new to Hampshire - co-director of the theatre program Wayne Kramer is a staunch advocate for the study and performance of children's theatre and an alumnus, Peter Brosius, is artistic director of the Children's Theatre Company in Minneapolis, which was the first theatre for young people to win the Regional Theatre Tony Award - but Sowell's arrival pulls together existing campus and Five College resources that will expand that focus. She is excited about the opportunities that Hampshire's open academic approach offers for collaboration. For example, she will team-teach a course in playwriting for children next spring and she has already begun conversations with the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art about collaborative opportunities.

|Electronic Drums All about Electronic Drums

DnB Snare and Kick
I am new here and have searched a bit but have yet to find a answer to a very specific question I have.
You see, I'm in a band (not the drummer by the way,but more or less the guys that has money and just spends it easily) and we play a lot of electronic-styles of music, doing covers from Nero, Pendulum, The Prodigy and more, just to name a few.
Synthesizer-wsie we are pretty much where we want to be, our main keys-guy has his setup and our bassplayer does some stuff too on a midicontroller (we dont sequence anything by the way).
One thing we do need to sort out is our drumsound, more specifically, a good way price/quality/usability etc.-wise to to use triggers for only our kick and snare.
The rest of the drum kit will do the acoustic way, but we need that hard kick and the splashing snare that comes with the styles of music we play.
I was hoping we could get your thought on this, regarding gear suggestions and prices etc.
I hope this information is enough for now, but if you need some more information just ask!
Re: DnB Snare and Kick
You can get a Bass drum trigger for about $25' as for what you'd plug it into is beyond my area of expertise.
As for the snare, you'd be surprised how nice and crisp you can get an acoustic snare to sound. My girlfriend had a college buddy that played drums in a goth rock/electronica band. His snare sound had to be nice and crisp so he used a shallow wood snare that was tuned higher and muffled. He got a solid crack out of it that carried pretty well.
Another option is a 12" snare. Check this guy out, the snare is probably EQ'd but it sounds great for what he's playing.
Classy grip all day.
Re: DnB Snare and Kick
Thanks for the reply, it definitely gave me a different view on things ;)
As for what our band is looking for I definitely liked the vid you added in your message, but although I liked the sound of that snare, it's not what we're looking for.
A good example is the snare sound Pendulum uses live for songs like Witchcraft.
Quite splashy but not over the top in my opinion.
As for the kick, we'll figure out what works for us along the way ;)
Re: DnB Snare and Kick
I would stay away from triggers if at all possible. I just use a piece of paper laid across the batter head to get a sound similar to that. Tune the drum to where it's most resonant, set the snares nice and loose (works better with string instead of plastic straps, as the string is slightly stretchy) and try different thicknesses and shapes of paper. I haven't done a lot of experimenting yet, but currently using a page from a magazine (thin paper) with a hole in the middle, and the corners cut off so it fits inside the hoop. This is on a Chad Smith signature snare (14x5 steel) and a Pearl Brass 13x3 piccolo, both with ambassador batters. Rimshots sound splashy and fat. I think the fact that the paper is floating, and not stuck to the head (like tape) is what makes it work.
Re: DnB Snare and Kick
Hmm, very interesting idea to say the least, but wouldn't that need alot of 'maintenance'? We're steadily gigging at the moment and getting all our stuff around everytime is already pretty hard work. Ofcourse, setting up triggers and stuff is too, but still..
to add to that, triggers do eeem to be the exact thing that'll get us what we need, other options are also appreciated, but has anyone here thoughts on what the minimum requirement in terms of equipment such as triggers and soundmodules would be needed?
Re: DnB Snare and Kick
Re: DnB Snare and Kick
I do, the thing is, alot of soundmodules in the lower price range tend to get shit reviews on all kinds of aspects, though we'd only use it for the kick and snare.. for example the Alesis Trigger IO. If it triggers the kick and snare properly, I see no reason to not consider buying it.
Together with some red shot triggers it seems good to go (plugged in my laptop, that is).
Re: DnB Snare and Kick
that snare/kick can be achieved acoustically, with our friend mr. EQ over there, but it's probably easier (as you said) to just trigger them.
the ddrum triggers work very well, im not sure what module you'd use though.
but when you say DnB i think you mean http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of2fEUktsXw which is more traditional fast DnB....
My Gear Thread! Mostly Tama, Bosphorus and Meinl, but theres more!
Re: DnB Snare and Kick
When we do get the chance to go into a bit more detail with the soundman at a gig we actually tell him how we'd like get our kick to sound, the hard kicking sound that we need ofcourse. In terms of the snare that's a whole other story for me that I wouldn't be able to explain to him, as I don't know how ;)
edit: wow, nice find in that video. I mentioned Pendulum mainly because they seem to get the sound right as a live band. We do play that 175bpm DnB as well, if that were to be specific enough.
We're really looking for a 'versatile' snare sound in a way that it can be used for all of our songs, wether they be fast DnB or the little slower Dubstep songs. So that 'little splashy snare' I mentioned is probably the way to go.
I'm not sure what specific kit our drummer has, but it's pretty much quality stuff. He is a multi-instrumentalist that does alot of work music-wise around the neighborhood. He also has a electric kit he uses for simple recordings, I actually have a vid from a few years ago of him playing it:
Anyways, he borrowed some triggers some time ago and tried to hook them up to his electric kit but somehow it didn't quite work out (bad snare-response and such) and using the electric kit live wont work as he needs it for work on a daily basis and cant afford to carry it around all the time.
Re: DnB Snare and Kick
Just to let you guys know, I send that vid to our drummer and he can probably make his snare sound that way pretty much.
Still in need of ideas for live situations to make the kick sound powerful and punchy though.
Re: DnB Snare and Kick
Besides the usual heads, tuning and muffling, the right mic and mic position, with the perfect EQ and compression setting is what you need. I don't know if any bands do sidechain compression live, but that's something else to look into. It's one thing to get a good kick sound, but getting it mixed with the rest of the band is another matter again.
Re: DnB Snare and Kick
Hmm well said, I dont think anyone uses sidechaingin compression live as a band, that shit can fuck up stuff pretty easily I think..
Last gig we did we with our drummers kit, the kick did sound pretty good already, but tweaking is ofcourse a good solution.
Re: DnB Snare and Kick
look up JoJo Mayer and his group Nerve. his setup works brilliantly as an acoustic kit!
Re: DnB Snare and Kick
Yeah, someone replied with a video on how to get that snare sound he uses already :) very useful!
Re: DnB Snare and Kick
Hey guys, I'm back again, we did a gig last saturday and other than the soundguy boosting the bas on the synths for no reason and thus fucking up the sound, it went pretty well.
I don't know if I'm allowed to post this but here is a recording: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aosxp868zU4
The drumkit was from the venue, but our drummer brought his own snare and cymbals (all zildjian, not sure what types) The snare was from this Pearl Masters kit (our drummer's kit, if it werent too obvious already) http://www.deluxeaudio.com.au/images...asters-mmx.jpg this exact one.
In my opinion, the snare and cymbals were actually the only things that sounded good and cut through. Though I would like some more advice on the snare, I'm not sure if you are familiar with this specific snare, but you can hear how it sounds now, any idea's on how to make it a bit more splashy? just a bit, to make it sound bigger. Is it possible to get that through mixing it with a trigger?

Does AppleTV work with Harmony and other Universal Remotes?
I am going to be purchasing a AppleTV shortly but am concerned with one thing. I use a Universal Remote (specifically a Harmony Remote, the H688). I am wondering if the Apple Remote using standard IR and as well if it will work with a Harmony Remote or other universal remotes?
Doubtful that your universal remote has the Apple TV codes on it. I have seen remotes though, where you hold up the remote to the universal remote and it can "memorize" IR signals from a foreign remote.
Does the Harmony have such a feature?
The Harmony remotes are programmed by plugging them into a computer and using an online database to add/configure devices.
Even if Logitech hasn't added the AppleTV profile, you can always get the Harmony remote to memorize commands manually using the remote included with the AppleTV.
Let me check the Harmony program and see if AppleTV support has been added.
OK, just updated to the latest software and looks like the AppleTV hasn't been added...yet. Though I found that it supports the Mac Mini, so it shouldn't be too difficult teaching it to work with an AppleTV seeing as how they both use the same remote and software (AppleTV is essentially Front Row with a pretty skin).
This would also be very important to me as I have a Harmony remote too (although I do like the look of that small Apple remote).
I don't have an Apple TV but I did find this link on the net if it helps...
There isn't any reason why the Harmony won't be able to control AppleTV. Just give Logitech time to get their database updated.
Harmony does have Apple remote code
I've had a Logitech Harmony for the last 6 months, and when I initially got it, I uploaded the Apple Remote instructions to it. Worked great on my iMac and MacBook Pro and handled all the comands that the Apple remote could. Now that I have an AppleTV, I was able to include it in my theatre system and low and behold, my Harmony picked up where the AppleTV remote left off.
All the apple remotes are the same, there's nothing special about the one that comes with AppleTV. You can take that and use it on any existing (Intel) Mac and it will work just the same as the one that came with the computer.
Mine works!
I have the harmony remote and i have it setup with my apple tv, i had to learn the commands, works like a charm!

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 has been relatively shy in making public appearances, until now that is
Samsung's Galaxy Tab 8.9 has made an appearance at a blogging conference in the US sporting all the trimmings of it's larger sibling the newly updated and released Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
The tablet appeared in the video showing off the trademark design which has already been used in the 10.1 and featuring the same 2MP front-facing camera and 3MP snapper on the back. The tablet will also feature all the same components inside, but instead offering it in a slightly more portable package.
Both of the tablets have Samsung's elegantly simple TouchWiz laid over Honeycomb and as can be seen in the video, it works just as well on the 8.9's slightly smaller screen, looking as bright and accessible as its partner in crime. There's no official word yet on release, but with it looking as complete as it can be, we can't imagine it'll be a long wait.
Check out the video below and let us know what you think on Facebook and Twitter.
