However they would shell out their hard-earned if the new module promised better functionality in all aspects (ie better triggering, more realistic sounds, etc).
Generally speaking, most e-drummers want their E-kits to sound (and feel) as close as possible to A-kits, so as the technology improves to reach this goal, we feel the need to update.
A-kits are already A-kits (duh) and the basic shell/ head design has remained the same for hundreds (??) of years. There's not a thing that can be done to them to "update" the sound (yes, I know you can change heads/ shells/ etc but generally speaking) so A-drummers don't have that need to keep up with the latest technology.
I get it, I really do. I suppose I'm coming around with a back-handed way of arguing for acoustic drums again.
On the one hand, I like my TD10 module linked with my Zendrum. I suppose my thought process behind it is that it
real, so although I can get close to an acoustic drum sound, I don't care that much about it being the latest-greatest acoustic drum sound, because it isn't a real acoustic instrument anyway. I was more than willing to stick with an even more ancient Roland R8 machine but once I tried this TD10, it opened some more doors, sonically. But at the end of the day, they're not real drums, so it's ok if they don't exactly replicate acoustic drums.
And I understand the argument that not everybody can practice and make as much noise as they want like I (and many others) do, so the eKit has its place. But when you're in Roland V-drum territory and you're on the constant upgrade path, one wonders if you couldn't have done the Shawn Pelton thing and sound-proofed your apartment, or built a soundproof room onto your house, for the same amount of money. I think by the time you've moved into your third V-drum kit (providing you stayed on the flagship models) you could've spent that money on acoustically treating your walls and ceilings and maybe even sand-loading the floor ;)
I realize that's not always an option however. But how cool would that be? To have a sound proofed room to be able to play real drums any time of the day or night? Maybe 15K is low-balling a job like that, but I think that would be a good investment that you do once, and you're always playing real drums, living with no compromises. I think that would be
cool. Again, my apologies to the OP for sorta de-railing the thread ;)

On Fall's Trail in Maine
Paddle the Penobscot River's West Branch
The West Branch of the Penobscot is a flat, clear backcountry float (or a raging whitewater rollick, depending on the section) among red maple fireworks, abundant wildlife, and not much else. Few visitors make the trek to the far side of Moosehead Lake to enjoy the bountiful forests that remain resilient in the face of logging efforts that continue to this day. You might run into a moose grazing along the banks, or quite possibly a bona fide Maine Yankee prepping the homestead for yet another brutal Maine winter.
Access: Contact the Maine Office of Tourism (see contact information below) for more information on guides and outfitters in the West Branch area.
Peak color: Early October
More on the West Branch of the Penobscot.
Walk in the North Maine Woods
What better place to witness the fall color explosion in Maine than the North Maine Woods? Immortalized by Henry David Thoreau in his book The Maine Woods, this expansive wilderness in Aroostook County has managed to retain much of the untamed character Thoreau observed during his travels here. The terrain is noticably flatter than in the Appalachians in the southern part of the state, though some of the best hikesand viewsare in the southeastern part of the region where it gets a little more hilly. While much of the area is controlled by timber companies, preserves like the Deboullie Public Reserved Lands let you get up close and personal with area wildlife, including black bear and moose.
Access: To reach the Deboullie Public Reserved Lands, take Maine 11 north to the town of Portage. From here travel northwest on unpaved gravel road 30+ miles to Deboullie.
Peak color: Early October
More on Aroostook County.
Visit Acadia National Park
Here where the forest runs down to meet the sea, Acadia's fall color has a style all its own. From the top of Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the east coast, hillsides of red, orange, and gold slope down to Frenchman's Bay. Miles of carriage roads that once served as a playground for the Rockefeller family now serve as forest pathways for bikers, hikers, and horseback riders. Take a sea kayak down to Bass Harbor Lighthouse for a taste of Maine's nautical past or bike around Echo Lake and Long Pond on the largely undeveloped western side of the park
Access: Acadia National Park lies on Mt. Desert Island on Maine's central coast on Maine 3. The drive from Boston takes about seven hours.
Peak color: Second week of October
More on Acadia National Park.
Bike the Baxter Perimeter Road
Baxter Perimeter Road will take you through some of the most remote wildlands in the state. The route follows a graded, two-wheel-drive dirt road around the rim of Baxter State Park, home of the famous Mt. Katahdin. By the fall, black fly season is a distant memory, and riders can cover the 43-mile route in relative comfort. Still, long climbs will tire even the most physically fit. Plan for a multi-day excursion.
Access: To reach Togue Pond Gate, the road's southern entrance, follow signs to Baxter State Park from Millinocket.
Peak color: Early October
More on biking Baxter State Park.
Paddle the Allagash River
Many consider the Allagash the ultimate Maine paddlea seven to ten day float down a deeply secluded wilderness waterway, endless miles from a single paved road in the largest uninhabited region in the lower 48 states. Loon calls are probably the only sounds you'll hear besides paddles dipping in the water and wind humming in the trees. In the fall, the nights are cool here, but the days are still warm, and plentiful native brook trout make great campfire fare.
Access: Contact the Maine Bureau of Parks and Recreation (see contact information below) for more information on guides and outfitters in the Allagash area.
Peak color: Early October
More on the Allagash River.
Take a Scenic Drive in Downeast Maine
Fog rolls in off the Penobscot Bay, lobster buoys bob in the surf, and a lone bell tolls plaintively in the distance, warning fishermen to steer clear of the rocks ahead. There is a rich mystique that surrounds Downeast Maine, the coastal region where lobstering is still a major industry and the nearest mall might be hundreds of miles away. With the decline of the timber industry on the coast, the rich forests that once covered the region are fast returning, making for an autumn drive that combines great leaf-peeping with salt-water vistas along Maine's granite shoreline.
Route: For a detailed route description that includes Deer Isle, the Penobscot Bay region, and Acadia National Park, see Downeast Fall Foliage Drive.
Peak color: Second week of October
Sea Kayak the Maine Island Trail
Countless small islands dot the coast of Downeast Maine from Casco Bay in the west to Machias Bay in the east, forming one of the eastern seaboard's longest archipelagos. Connecting these islands is a 325-mile long waterway designated the Maine Island Trail, a sea kayaking paradise where undeveloped islands serve as convenient overnight campsites for paddlers on multiday excursions. During the first half of the century, many of these islands were harvested for their timber and granite. Those industries have long since faded, but have left intriguing ecosystems in their wake: fragile grasslands that resemble tundra more than the temperate coastal forests a few miles away on shore. Deer are known to swim out to these islands to pasture, and you often find the descendents of sheep brought here years ago by Maine farmers still grazing.
Access: The town of Stonington at the southern tip of Deer Isle makes a great put-in. From US 1, take Maine 15 south to Stonington.

VERY easy to make. I made with the recipe for homemade Caramel (look it up it is a must) and I added chocoalte all over it not just the top, like the candy bar itself. MY family loved it better then the store bought candy bar! Great x-mas gifts
Thanks for the recipe. I've made something similar to this in the past, but couldn't quite remember it. Try putting chocolate chips and butterscotch chips on the top, melt in oven, and then spread, swirling the chocolate and butterscotch together.
6 Ratings
Not bad flavour, I covered the whole top with chocolate chips, let them melt and then spread them around to make a chocolate covering because otherwise they are not very attractive. Also, very very chewy! Hard to eat because of the texture!
These were really good. Kinda chewy but I liked em. My 2 children loved them.

Lafe Preston Ward, formerly of Williamson, passed into God's hands on Wednesday, April 10, 2013, due to complications from cancer. He was surrounded by family and friends at Hospice Atlanta during his final days.
Born in 1925 in Williamson, he was the son of the late Eula M. Ward and Lafe Preston Ward.
Preceding him in death on June 2, 1997, was his beloved wife Dorothy Ayers Ward.
Mr. Ward also had lost two brothers, Wilbur Ward and Ogden Ward.
Mr. Ward was a graduate of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, served in the US Navy in the V-12 Program, and received his law degree from West Virginia University.
He served as Williamson City Attorney from 1953-1955, Mingo County Prosecuting Attorney from 1961-1971, Mingo County Board of Education 1960-1970, West Virginia State Senator from 1971-1983, served as Majority Leader of the Senate for eight years, and served on the Board of Directors of Matewan National Bank which merged into BB&T.
He was a member of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Williamson and The Lutheran Church of the Ascension in Savannah. Always invested in education, he was instrumental in sponsoring Williamson's local Branch College of Marshall University in Huntington. He worked tirelessly to improve his community's water system, Route 52 linking Williamson to Delbarton, and, most importantly, he was instrumental in securing federal funding for the flood wall needed to protect Williamson after massive flooding in April 1977.
Mr. Ward is survived by his loving wife, Norma Brewin Ward of Savannah, Ga., his sister Garnet Oakes (husband Walter) of Mathews, N.C. and his brother Lindy Ward of Glen Allen, Va. Also surviving him are his five children, Cynthia Ward Brasher (husband Bruce and his daughter Alison), Winston-Salem, N.C., Leslie Ward Vancho (husband Vince), Trabuco Canyon, Ca., Donna Ward Toulme (husband Nill), Atlanta, Lafe Preston Ward, Jr., Atlanta, and David Townsend Ward, Ridgecrest, N.C., 13 grandchildren, Jeffrey Bennett and Laura Catherine Brasher, Michael Preston, Jeffrey Dustin "JD" and Bradley David Vancho, Matthew Allen, Natalie Ayers, Laura Elizabeth and John Victor Toulme, Nicholas Preston, Nathan Alexander and Katherine Elizabeth Ward, and Luke Ferguson Ward.Mr. Ward surrounded himself with additional love from his stepdaughter Kathleen Brewin Lewis (husband Jeff) and her two children, Benjamin Brewin Lewis and Rosemary Lee Lewis.
A memorial service will be held in Savannah on Saturday, April 20 at 2 p.m. at The Lutheran Church of the Ascension (reception to follow in the church's social hall). Family and friends also will celebrate Mr. Ward's life among his beloved mountains in Williamson at St. Paul's Episcopal Church on Saturday, May 4 at 11 a.m. (reception to follow in the church's social hall).
Remembrances may be made to St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 411 Prichard Street, Williamson, WV 25661, The Lutheran Church of the Ascension, 6 East State Street, Savannah, GA 31401, and Hospice Atlanta, 1244 Park Vista Drive, NE, Atlanta, GA 30319.

Read Poems by
Cecil Hickman
Death plays tricks on all that exclaim.
Life withers you away without fame.
Love can sweep away any kind of blame.
Lust will drive you into a dangerous game.
One without the other will drive you insane.
Each one you must control to kill the pain.
Your soul, heart and mind will complain.
Your spirit can guide you on a level plain.
These things I have learned from others I see.
These things are a part of us and yes even me.
My faith holds me to the ground under a tree.
Blessings that are given keep me forever free.

Karen Schneider has posted about blogging ethics – very interesting reading, especially the two links to lists of potential "blogging ethics" that bloggers might want to follow. The whole "blogging ethics" thing is an interesting concept, though difficult at best to implement in any formal fashion, since anyone with a PC and a web connection can post whatever to their heart's content. But it could be implemented in the seeting she's interested in – that of the bloggers who plan to blog for PLA.
I'm going to comment on something Karen mentioned in the beginning of her post, and has mentioned in previous posts, because I think this concept is something that bloggers need to get their heads around before moving on to a discussion of blogging ethics. Karen says "Too many of us want to be considered serious citizen-journalists, when it suits us" … I even claimed this in a previous post .
Let me clarify a little bit (practicing the blog ethics concept of correcting misinformation :-). I don't see my blog or other library blogs as replacing cnn.com – they serve two very different purposes. Using my blog as an example, here's my stated purpose (lame though it might be): "cool stuff about library web sites … and whatever else I decide to post." Here's what I do: I read other blogs, articles, books, etc., mostly focused on web technology. When I see something interesting and useful, something I think other library web techies would be interested in, I post it to my blog. I comment on it – try to take an idea further, stretch non-library web products into a library setting, etc. And I might post my own web-related thoughts when they occur and seem interesting, too. The goal could be stated as being in two places at one time – if you didn't see something interesting, maybe I did. Two people can cover more ground in keeping up with web-related information than one person.
Is that being a citizen journalist? Well… yeah, kinda sorta. Googling the term "journalist" gives these two definitions, among others: 1. "one who keeps a journal" and 2. "The conductor of a public journal." I fit both of those. But I think Karen is thinking more about the other definitions given – "one whose occupation is journalism" and "one whose business it is to write for a public journal … or other professional writer for a periodical."
I don't meet all those criteria. I'm not paid to blog, and it's not my "business" (although Gary Price might fall into this category). But then again, my blog could be called a "public journal." Could it be that this is a new medium of communication? What do you get when you mix a diary, niche information, a trade publication, notes, an email, an IM, and a converstion together, and then stick it on a website? Answer: a blog.
My point here? Blogs (library-related blogs, anyway) are just similar enough to traditional media (I'm thinking trade publications, or at least posts on trade publication websites) to be confused with actually being traditional media. But a blog is also very different from traditional media – for example, my blog doesn't pass through any editorial channels. This is happening with other forms of media as well – I can post my own music on the web without having to pass through a record label; I can create a movie and post it on the web without having to pass through a movie studio; I can write a book and post it to the web (like Lawrence Lessig did with his latest book). Etc. This is a great thing – other professionals can access my blog, and "subscribe" to it if they find it useful. Sure, having no form of editorial board could also be a bad thing – but I'm not posting about brain surgery, either. If someone doesn't find my blog useful, they can ignore it. Any discussion of what should be done when bad information is posted to a blog should really cover that concept for the whole web – not blogs alone.
Here are two other examples. LISNews is great at posting interesting library-related news. So that's sorta traditional (except that you don't have to wait for a monthly print publication to keep up-to-date on library news). But TeleRead isn't very traditional at all: that blog is very focused on niche information (e-books). TeleRead includes information on new e-book products, comments on those products, observations on ebooks, etc. No traditional media is going to be that focused. At the least, it wouldn't be profitable enough to sustain.
So… where does that leave us? Am I a citizen-journalist? Not really. I'm participating in a new medium of communication that resembles some aspects of aspects of traditional journalism, but is very different in many ways, too. How's that sound? Am I going in the right direction with this? Feedback is always good
Looking back at the early 1900s, I wonder if someone debated whether or not letter writing and phone calling were similar or different?

A string of emails obtained by 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS shows recruitment of minorities into the Community Service Officer (CSO) program is low in the Minneapolis Police Department.
In one of the emails, MPD Chief Janee' Harteau calls the low recruitment numbers of minorities "unacceptable." Right now, of the 60 candidates for the CSO positions, only 30 percent were minorities.
The CSO program is considered a vital step in recruiting qualified people to eventually become MPD officers.
Not all of the recruits become officers, and that's why MPD makes the recruitment of a larger number of minorities a high priority.
In another email, an MPD sergeant express regret at losing a Somali recruit who was very promising. The email says they "should have never let a young man like that get away." The recruit was hired by St. Paul Police.
MPD wants more of its patrol officers to better reflect the community they serve; Chief Harteau and others believe it makes for better police work on the streets.
Chief Harteau says she is working with the city's human resources staff to fix the problem, and she expects much better numbers for minority recruitment in the next 60 days.

Halotherapy, Dry Saline Aerosol Additional Therapy has been developed on the basis of Speleotherapy.
The beneficial health effects of the microclimate of salt mines have been known for centuries. Even before they were first described in a book published by a Polish physician Feliks Boczkowski in 1843. Since then, the practice of bringing patients with respiratory diseases down to the salt mines for healing spread throughout Europe, and it has become a standard feature of Spa treatment of respiratory diseases.
Halotherapy and its devices
(Dry Saline Generators):
In the 1980s Eastern European scientists began to build Halotherapy chambers that re-created in clinics and other above ground facilities the microclimate of salt mines (underground natural healing rock salt chambers). These Halo (salt) chambers have floors and walls lined with rock salt (halite).
Patients sit in the Halo chamber (salt therapy room) for 45 minutes per session while music and aesthetical, natural environment creates a relaxed mood that promotes healing.
Dry Saline Generators are certified as medical devices in European countries, and are in use throughout Europe, and are starting to spread to North America with increasing intensity.
Halotherapy provides prophylactic and restorative health maintenance, alleviating respiratory ailments and providing improvement of the immune system, in a natural, comfortable and relaxing way.
For centuries people believed in the physical and mental healing powers of hot springs. The practice of bathing in hot springs and mineral waters dates at least to the Babylonians and Greeks. In the 19th century, Europe's great spas were destinations to "take the waters." Water treatments are still considered the heart of the spa experience in Europe. Today massages and facials are by far the most popular spa treatments in America. Now comes the next step in the quest for holistic health improvement: Salt Therapy Rooms - Halotherapy.
"For over 25 years I had serious sinus problems which caused breathing difficulties, stress and fatigue. I tried to heal with the help of a physician but his intervention was unable to cure my condition.
As a last resort I was advised to schedule a laser surgery (which could not guarantee me permanent positive results), as I was assured that there is no other way to deal with my discomfort. Then I found out about Halotherapy.
After several sessions in the Iris salt room I felt my condition started to improve. The air passages in both of my nostrils cleared, and the polyps in my nose disappeared. After several more sessions I could breathe in a way equivalent to an average, healthy individual – for the first time in 25 years!
In fact, I cancelled my appointment for the surgery. I can now breathe freely on daily basis, eat without discomfort and get a good night's sleep. What a relief! Thank You Iris Wellbeing"

Halotherapy: Important Facts:
In clinical trials, Halotherapy (science of re-creating in above ground facilities the microclimate of salt mines) has shown to confer significant benefits in the treatment of asthma, chronic bronchitis, sinusitis and other respiratory diseases and ailments.
Halotherapy enjoys many advantages. Unlike certain other physical therapies. Halotherapy is inherently plausible and a very effective method in treating most of respiratory diseases.
Now, that dry saline aerosol therapy has climbed out of the salt mines and gained momentum as a subject of scientific investigation and practical application, potential critics have a much harder time dismissing it. Halotherapy appears to be an excellent microbicide and mucokinetic/expectorant (promoting or facilitating the secretion or expulsion of phlegm, mucus, or other matter from the respiratory tract). Halotherapy is an inexpensive and definitely cheaper and more convenient than Speleotherapy (underground natural salt healing chambers) and much cheaper than some competing drugs.
Halotherapy's ability to perform as an adjuvant therapy in virtually all respiratory diseases makes it especially valuable. It also possesses untapped potential as a source of maintaining health and prevent the spread of diseases, invigoration and relaxation for healthy people.
Is it necessary to cover walls of salt therapy rooms with natural salt?
Salt coverings of Halotherapy chamber surfaces is performed chiefly to deliver negative ion environment (like water falls, pine forests, ocean and sea shores). Another major reason is to deliver an aesthetic function for stress reduction, which is a powerful psychological effect contributing to healing.
Surfaces covered with natural salt - due to its natural properties - contribute to maintaining temperature, humidity (Hygroscopic properties of natural salt - ability of a substance to attract water molecules from the surrounding environment through either absorption or adsorption) and hypobacterial (almost sterile) conditions, but only if it is in sufficient quantity (for a given volume of a room).
Mass of salt covering surfaces absorbs noise, resulting in quiet environment.
In addition, natural rock salt environment creates an atmosphere of peace, safety and comfort (forest, see side, waterfall). That removes the patients from their habitual interiors. This also positively influences the nervous system and psycho-somatic and emotional sphere, contributing immensely to the healing process.
It does not matter of which salt surfaces are made. Only the factor of ecological purity should be considered.
Please, consider the fact that if no salt covering of walls is present (salt covering of surfaces contributes to sterile environment as explained above) in a room equipped with dry saline generator, some other methods of disinfection device would be required like UV-Light. Patients breathe out microbes that may affect others.
Is it necessary to use Dry Saline Generator (Halogenerator) in a salt therapy room which surfaces are covered with salt?
Concentration of 3-5 mg of particles of minerals per (1 cubic-meter) (35.314667 cuFt), with breathable particles (1-5 micro-meters)/ (0.000118" - 0.000197") is absolutely necessary for creating right healing Halotherapy environment.
This factor has been investigated by experts and is very well known. It has been proven that this concentration of minerals has a critical importance for therapeutic action in the respiratory tract.
It is the dry salt aerosol that protects the air of the underground Speleo (natural salt mine) - healing chambers. It keeps it sterile and amicrobic (not caused by or related to microbes). So in order to re-create this microclimate in artificially created Halotherapy chambers all surfaces are covered with salt and dry saline aerosol is delivered by Halogenerator (Dry Saline Aerosol Generator).
In naturally occurring Speleo chambers, such an atmosphere (as described above) is created only when thousands of square meters (tens of thousands of square feet) of natural rock salt contact the air, or when a Halogenerator (Dry Saline Generator) is used with combination with chambers which surfaces are covered with salt.
Due to obvious reasons, it is impossible to reproduce such healing methods of generating aerosol and negative air ions I right concentrations under limited space conditions of a single room. Therefore it is necessary to use special equipment that is capable of creating proper therapeutic conditions.
A Dry Saline Aerosol Generator is a device that produces and supplies aerosol of dry natural rock salt to a room in a required quantity. Only that way created dry salt aerosol environment ensures therapeutic effects and maintains necessary sterile environment.
Our salt therapy rooms in addition to Halotherapy provide other complementary therapies:
Color therapy:
Colors interact with the human energy system in a unique way to stabilize physical, emotional, mental and spiritual conditions.
By applying pressure to the points on the feet reflexology removes blockages and relieves pain, thereby relieving stress, tension, and organ congestion throughout the body. Our salt room floors will do it for you, while walking on them.
Sound therapy:
As a source of energy, sound is an effective tool to help restore balance in the body, alleviate pain and accelerate healing.
Salt therapy is not new.
We are all familiar with the salt air pipe inhalers (also known as salt pipes) which are a convenient, drug free and non invasive devices for enjoying the benefits of dry salt air therapy. And also with salt aerosol used for irrigating and cleansing chronic and acute wounds.
Usage of saline solution (salt dissolved in water) for sinus irrigation has been used by Ayurveda practitioners for thousands of years. Similarly to breathing ionized, bacterial free salt air in natural salt mines.

New pharmacy is opened
Posted: May 04, 2013|
A NEW pharmacy has opened up on a housing estate in Leek benefiting patients who previously had to travel into the town centre for their medicines.
Imaan Pharmacy has opened on Queens Drive, Haregate, and is being led by pharmacist Jawad Mehroof.
There was an event held at the pharmacy on Saturday, April 27, to mark the official opening with Leek's Town Mayor councillor Pam Wood.
Mr Mehroof, who is also the company business development manager, has been a pharmacist for six years and was previously based at a pharmacy in Derby.
The pharmacy is one of 43 branches owned by Imaan Ltd, which has sites across the country including Dover, Warrington, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Middlesborough, Southampton and Salisbury.
Feedback from the community to the opening of the pharmacy has been very positive and welcoming.
The pharmacy is part of a new scheme by the NHS called Pharmacy First, which it is running in co-operation with Leek Health Centre in Fountain Street.
The scheme means that exempt patients registered with Leek Health Centre can go straight to their pharmacy with any minor ailments instead of their GP.
The pharmacy is open Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm, Saturday 9am to 1pm and Sunday 10am to 2pm - and offers a free unconditional repeat prescription order, collection and optional delivery service.

A broadcast station, a newspaper and a war correspondent's feature on an online news website received The American Legion's Fourth Estate Award on Aug. 30 during the 94th National Convention in Indianapolis.
The Legion has presented the award annually since 1958 for outstanding achievement in the field of journalism. For the second year, nominations were considered in three categories: print, broadcast and new media (Internet).
Taking top honor in the print category for the second consecutive year was the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. A nine-month investigation [2] and series of articles by reporter Carl Prine, himself an Army and Marine veteran who served in Iraq, revealed that warrior transition units were so overwhelmed that many soldiers suffering physically or mentally from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan got little or no help. They continued to suffer from post-traumatic stress, brain injuries, depression and other issues related to repeated combat deployments. The probe brought about congressional hearings, the resignation of a senior defense official and actions that led to significant improvements in the units. In 2011, the paper won for exposing shoddy conditions in Pennsylvania's state-run veterans homes.
KLRT-TV (Little Rock, Ark.) news reporter Donna Terrell took top honor in the broadcast category with her reports, "Grieving a Child." [3] Having recently lost her own daughter, she poignantly captured the emotional trauma of a military veteran and his wife who lost their small son to brain cancer, and provided valuable information about dealing with the painful process of losing a loved one.
In the new media category, freelance war correspondent Alex Quade's video documentary for the website The Daily Caller, "Horse Soldiers of 9/11," [4] revealed the special operations of military and CIA operatives in Afghanistan who responded after the 9/11 attacks, using horses in their behind-the-lines operations. Her report broke the story of a monument, capturing the essence of bravery, rising in testament to them near Ground Zero in New York. Vice President Joe Biden quoted Quade's story during the statue's official dedication ceremony.
"The American Legion Fourth Estate Award is difficult to earn," National Commander Fang A. Wong said. "It is a testament to the demanding nature of the competition – and the quality of entries. Not only do the reports have to be informative and entertaining, they have to provide a tangible benefit to society."
Previous winners of the award include Dateline NBC, C-SPAN, United Press International, USA TODAY, The Detroit News, Fortune magazine, ABC News and Life magazine, among others.

ORLANDO — Hundreds of students have been evacuated from a dorm on the University of Central Florida campus in Orlando after explosives devices were found while authorities were investigating a death.
Police were called to Tower 1 early Monday after a fire alarm went off. Arriving officers found a man dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Police told local TV stations they found an assault weapon and improvised explosive devices on the scene.
About 500 students were evacuated from the dorm and a parking garage was closed.
The university has cancelled classes through noon Monday as a precaution.
A statement on the university's website said the UCF Arena will open Monday morning to accommodate displaced students.
It was not immediately known whether the dead man is a student.

CINCINNATI, Oh. (WTVR) – Two homeless men rushed to help a Cincinnati business owner who was being robbed.
Their fight with the robber was caught on surveillance camera.
The men, who didn't know each other, say they heard somebody yelling for help Monday and ran over to take down the would-be robber.
They say they didn't think about the suspect potentially having a gun, they just followed their instincts.
The two gave television crews more details about their reaction, but didn't want to be identified.
"Somebody needed assistance and I'm not going to standby and watch somebody be assaulted like that," said one of the men.
"When we got them separated, he ran through the parking lot and through the alleyway, so that is where the other gentlemen came in to play," said the second helper.
One of the men followed the suspect and was able to hold him until police arrived to arrest him.
The two homeless men say being called heroes is new to them- they're used to being called "dirty" and "mentally ill".
They say they hope their actions will remind people that you can't always judge a book by its cover.

text: Peak Of The Week™ Thursdays at 9pm Hosted by Brad Watson A new release - handpicked by WNCW's Programming Staff - is sampled throughout Brad Watson's Music Mix on Thursday evenings. Thursday Night the 23rd between 8pm & Midnight: SHANNON McNALLY - Small Town Talk By Martin Anderson • May 17, 2013 Louisiana's "Swamp Pop" father Bobby Charles helped shape rock & roll's evolution during the '50s and '60s, writing a string of hits for artists like Fats Domino and Bill Haley & the Comets. In 2007, folk-blues songwriter Shannon McNally began working on this tribute project with him that is now finally complete, three years after his death. Dr. John, who played piano on Charles' 1972 self-titled album, produced it and joins McNally and other New Orleans musicians. It's our feature Thursday night. Thursday Night the 16th between 8pm & Midnight: DAWES - Stories Don't End By Martin Anderson • May 10, 2013 When the L.A. Thursday Night the 9th between 8pm & Midnight: SHINYRIBS - Gulf Coast Museum By Martin Anderson • May 3, 2013 The Gourds' frontman Kev Russell has had a side project for a few years now, to help provide an outlet for his huge well of material. But to throw in a little curveball, he ends Gulf Coast Museum with a ukulele version of "If You Don't Know Me By Now". Featuring a revolving lineup of Austin talent backing him up, this is Shinyribs' second album ("Poor Peoples' Store" became a WNCW hit from their first.) Thursday Night the 2nd between 8pm & Midnight: THE MAVERICKS - In Time By Martin Anderson • Apr 26, 2013 If you can maybe picture Roy Orbison as a Cuban-American, fronting a band that draws from Hank Williams as much as the Sir Douglas Quintet, with a fresh new release, then you get an inkling of what our Thursday night music mix has in store for you. Raul Malo and The Mavericks are back after a 10 year hiatus, and their new album In Time is your Peak of the Week. Thursday Night the 25th between 8pm & Midnight: THE BLACK LILLIES - Runaway Freeway Blues By Martin Anderson • Apr 19, 2013 The Knoxville band featuring the formidable songwriting of Cruz Contreras, singer Trisha Gene Brady, multi-instrumentalist Tom Pryor, bass player Robert Richards and drummer Jamie Cook is back with its third strong release. Dynamic, lyrical, multi-dimensional...no doubt one of the strongest regional albums this year, and well worth featuring throughout our Thursday night mix! Thursday Night the 18th between 8pm & Midnight: JJ GREY & MOFRO - This River By Martin Anderson • Apr 12, 2013 This week, JJ Grey & Mofro release their 7th album, and they're tighter than ever. Call it southern rock, swamp funk, Memphis soul, North Florida blues....or maybe they've coined a new one here, the Florabama sound. As for the stories in the songs, Grey says: "Many of the new songs are about being your own worst enemy, and about normal folks pushing themselves over the edge." We'll spin each of the tunes over the course of Thursday night. Thursday Night the 4th between 8pm & Midnight: CHARLES BRADLEY - Victim of Love By Martin Anderson • Apr 5, 2013 Raised on the Brooklyn streets, a cook for a hospital for the mentally ill and numerous other locales...Charles Bradley's compelling story is the subject of a recent documentary film (Soul of America). His second release on Daptone Records is our featured album this Thursday night. Bradley takes the sounds of Stax, Muscle Shoals, and James Brown in particular, and moves it forward with a level of passion and genuineness not surpassed by anyone. Thursday Night the 4th between 8pm & Midnight: STEVE EARLE - The Low Highway By Martin Anderson • Mar 29, 2013 One of WNCW's favorite songwriters, Steve Earle releases The Low Highway on April 16th. We'll give you a great preview of it this Thursday as we spin each tune from it throughout the evening's mix. Technically "Steve Earle and the Dukes (and Duchesses)", this is Earle's 15th studio album. If there's a theme on this one, it's endless road traveling. As he writes in the liner notes, "I've been on every interstate highway in the lower forty-eight states by now and I never get tired of the view." Thursday Night the 21st between 8pm & Midnight: SON VOLT - Honky Tonk By Martin Anderson • Mar 16, 2013 After basically establishing the subgenre of alt-country in 1990 with the Uncle Tupelo release of No Depression, Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar went their separate ways, Tweedy bringing his more rock-oriented influence to Wilco, and Farrar keeping the twangy side for his new band Son Volt. This country influence has culminated in Honky Tonk, a strong homage to the Bakersfield sound (think Buck Owens and Merle Haggard.) Tune in as Friday's Cosmic American Music Show comes 24 hours early this week! Thursday Night the 14th between 8pm & Midnight: JAMES HUNTER SIX - Minute By Minute By Martin Anderson • Mar 9, 2013 One of our favorite British soul singers is back after a 5 year absence! James Hunter has a new release of all original material that definitely summons the souls of James Brown, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, etc., but is no doubt just as fresh sounding as anything else out there. Produced and engineered by Daptone Records co-founder Gabriel Roth, this is a staff favorite here at WNCW. Pages« first ‹ previous … 3 4 5 6 … next › last »

It was cold and windy at Cardinal Park on Tuesday — unless you were near the Science Hill bat rack.
The Hilltoppers hitters stayed hot, sending 17 batters to the plate during a 12-run third inning and defeated Tennessee High 18-1 in five innings. They improved to 4-1 in the in Big Seven Conference and 13-4 overall.
Will Wynd and Malik Stephens each drove in four runs for the Hilltoppers, who piled up 14 hits. Science Hill batters also produced six walks and three sacrifices, and four batters were hit by pitches.
The 'Toppers scored five times in the first, which was highlighted by a two-run single to left-center that essentially became an inside-the-park home run for Kyle Ouellette when it got past the center fielder. Science Hill coach Ryan Edwards has commended Ouellette for losing 15 pounds and adding muscle, but hustling for a round-tripper still felt like heavy duty.
"I just saw it go by him rounding first and just saw coach keep waving me in, so I just went with that," Ouellette said. "I was more tired after than during. No matter how much weight I lose, running bases still gets me gassed."
Ouellette also did some running when he two-hopped the right-center field wall with a slicing, line-drive RBI double during the third-inning onslaught. He finished 2-for-3 with two runs and three RBIs.
Stephens was 3-for-3 with a triple. Wynd (2-for-3, three runs) and Connell Boyle (2-for-2, three runs) also delivered triples in the big ballpark.
"That's why I like playing here, because you can run for days and you've gotta have a fast outfield and play some defense out there," Science Hill coach Ryan Edwards said. "I think it's kind of all starting to come together offensively. I mean, we're just hitting line-drives. We're not popping up. We're not striking out as much as we were early in the season. …
"We know we're not home run hitters. We never will be this year. That's not gonna be our game. If we happen to get one, great, but we've just gotta hit line-drives … and take our walks."
Stephens, a speedy center fielder, tripled to right with a line drive, delivered a pair of two-run singles and walked.
"He's starting to find his groove," Edwards said. "I thought he had a great night tonight, for sure."
Addison Adams was 2-for-3 with two runs and two RBIs. He was also hit by a pitch.
J.T. Torbett and Tucker McPherson each had a hit and an RBI, and Landon Knack hit safely and was hit by a pitch.
McPherson, who Edwards said has battled a foot injury, also looked as comfortable at third base as he has at second while handling three chances.
"I thought he played a fantastic third base over there," Edwards said.
Starter Matthew Beaird (1-0) pitched three shutout innings for the victory. He allowed two hits, a walk and hit a batter.
"I wanted to get him out of there once the game got out of hand," Edwards said. "It's a cold night and he's gotta catch a lot this week, too. We've just got to be able to keep getting him on the mound more so he'll get comfortable out there. He never really did get comfortable, but he still attacked the strike zone for the most part.
"And he's got great stuff, and I think once he starts working ahead a little bit more, he'll be even better."
Science Hill will play the Vikings (1-5, 7-11) today in Bristol.
"These guys are a lot better than they showed today," Edwards said. "I'm sure that they'll be ready to go to tomorrow."comments powered by Disqus

"Darmok" vs "Trials and Tribble-ations" better Trek tribute?

"Darmok" vs "Trials and Tribble-ations" better Trek tribute?
Yes, I know, I did something similar to this earlier this year, but I wanted to refine this a little to be more fair. Both of these episodes are EXCELLENT Four Star out of Four Star episodes, and yet are spectacularly different in as a Trek tribute. One's a drama; one's a comedy. One's about the Trekkian philosophy; the other's a loving nostalgia-fest.
And I think comparing these two episodes *really* shows where the Trek franchise's future is going (of course I could be wrong).
(Note: Let's try not to make this a TNG vs DS9 pissing contest).

Mrs. Carter Stops By To See ERA Scarf
One of the things that is really nice for staff and visitors alike at the Carter Presidential Museum is the frequency with which President and Mrs. Carter stop by the museum. It's not unusual for visitors to see the Carters walking through the museum or getting a bite to eat in the Copenhill Café during […]

FALL into Book Events at the Jimmy Carter Library & Museum
So a little bird told me… I couldn't resist using that saying in today's post after seeing the image to the right. The grounds around the Library & Museum are oftentimes a hidden treasure trove of wildlife. A coworker was able to snap this photo of one of our resident avian friends. You can't tell […]

What Makes October Outstanding?
Why is October such an outstanding month? For a great many of us in the Northern Hemisphere, I suppose it has something to do with the sights and smells of autumn, the sense of invigoration that often follows any change in season… Another reason to appreciate October is the fact that it is American Archives […]

Seeing the Bigger Picture
Denise Castro, '14, is a senior all the way from Cathedral City, Cal. She will graduate following the upcoming spring semester with a sociology / anthropology major and psychology minor.
"I found Green Mountain College looking for something different from my big high school," Denise said. "I wanted a closer community, so I Googled 'rural schools.'"
When Denise first arrived at GMC, she was majoring in biology. After a friend's suggestion, she saw things differently. "I instantly fell in love with the sociology / anthropology major. Social issues are important and people don't pay enough attention because we're accustomed to them", she said.
"Professor Gordon Knight helped me understand what I wanted to do. When I took his class I thought, 'This is what I thought college would be like!' I was really interested in the material. I love solving issues and knowing what needs to be fixed," she said.
Denise isn't wasting any time getting to work on those issues. Recently, she ran a chapter of the "Who Needs Feminism?" campaign on GMC's campus for her Delicate Balance project. The campaign works to dispel erroneous notions about feminism and those who consider themselves feminists. Students were able to write why they need feminism on a marker board and have their picture taken to be posted online.
"The 'Who Needs Feminism?' campaign was really successful, and I wasn't expecting the turn out," Denise said. "Activism club helped me out so much. I thought people would see 'feminism' and be afraid. People were willing to come up, learn and have their picture taken. We uploaded the pictures on Facebook. There was an extremely positive response. Many alumni and masters' program students shared it."
Denise is also the co-head delegate of Model United Nations club, the treasurer of DREAM and a member of the student financial committee.
"I think for a career I'd like to do something in public or social policy. I'm thinking I can go to graduate school for that," she said. "I would love to work with a non-profit organization and work with minorities, women mostly, and try to ease social problems."

Katy Perry has revealed how she stays in shape.
The stunning singer is famed for her love of super short, figure-hugging dresses and flaunting her figure in a variety of PVC ensembles.
Katy has previously confessed to being a fan of fast food, with McDonald's chicken nuggets being her favourite indulgent snack.
The pop star explained she reigns in her naughty food cravings and adopts a strict diet when she has a big red carpet event she wants to look her best for.
"When I really need to whip my body into shape for a big performance or event, I cut out as much sugar, bread and pasta as I can and swap fizzy drinks and juices for water with a dash of lemon," Katy explained to British magazine Closer.
In order to maintain her shape whilst also allowing herself to munch her favourite foods, Katy explained that she follows an active lifestyle.
Along with cutting out fatty food, she also increases her exercise in the run up to the event.
"I try to exercise three to four times a week and, on days when I'm not working, I do a really fun activity like hiking," Katy continued. "I also love Soul Cycling, which is a spin class with high-energy coaching and fun, upbeat music."© Cover Media

WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross women's soccer sophomore Ally Pasquariello (Suffield, Conn.) has been named the BRINE Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week for games played Oct. 8-14, as announced by the league. Pasquariello tallied an assist on the Crusaders' game-winning goal in its 2-1 victory over Lafayette (Oct. 13) for her first career point. This is the first BRINE Defensive Player of the Week award of her career and the first time any Crusader has won the honor since the 2009 season.
Pasquariello dribbled the ball to midfield before sending a perfect pass to a streaking Gina Righini (Salem, N.H.) who took the ball in stride and beat the Leopards' goalkeeper on the far side to make the score 2-0 Holy Cross with 22:38 remaining. Lafayette would add its only goal with just under five minutes remaining as the Crusaders earned their sixth victory of the season by a tally of 2-1.
This is the fifth time a Crusader has been recognized by the league this season. Pasquariello joins junior Cassie Muzik (Massapequa, N.Y.) who was named BRINE Offensive Player of the Week on Aug. 20, sophomore Carly McCabe (Barrington, R.I.) who was named BRINE Goalkeeper of the Week on Aug. 27 and Oct. 1 and freshman Annie Galvin (Attleboro, Mass.) who was named BRINE Rookie of the Week on Sept. 24.
Holy Cross (6-7-1, 2-2-0 Patriot League) returns to action on Tuesday, Oct. 16, when it travels to Harvard for its final non-conference game of the season at 7:00 p.m.

LAKEPORT, CA. August 25, 2001... After setting fast time of 13.169 seconds over the 19 car modified field, Bob Strauss of Lucerne started at the back of the inverted pack and took the lead away from Todd Coburn on the 26th lap to capture the 3rd annual Jim McKinney Memorial at the Lakeport Speedway Saturday night. It was Strauss' second win of the season.
With only three laps to go in the mini stock 30 lapper, Stuart Lydon of Salinas trapped leader Andrew Snider behind a lapped car and drove to his seventh victory in NCRA's four cylinder division. Chuck Pruett jumped out of his modified after finishing fourth, got into his bomber and held off the challenges of defending champ Mark Maines to win the Konocti Harbor Resort and Spa bomber main event.
And in special events action, Mike Doss led all but 10 laps to win the Airport Auto Brokers Late Model Series feature and clinch the Lakeport Speedway Late Models championship. Ericka Scatena from Upper Lake presented all feature winners with special Jim McKinney Memorial plaques.
The modified feature started on a slick track after an oil spill in the mini stock main event and a blow-up in the late model race. Coburn took the initial lead from his pole staring berth with Terry McIntire losing ground to Danny Bishop. The only caution period came on lap three when Derrick Crayford slapped the wall on the back stretch. The restart saw McIntire take back the second slot with Mike Smithhart and Bryan Denton driving under Bishop for third and fourth.
As Bishop lost ground on the high side, the inside lane shot forward moving Aaron Hicks and Strauss into fifth and sixth. Hicks was the first to try an outside pass, but the groove was still slick and Hicks went backwards. Denton tried the high side next but his car would not stick either and he lost ground. McIntire moved along side of Coburn to pass for the lead but his attempts were also squashed and he faded to the rear. This moved Smithhart into second, Strauss third, Pruett fourth and David Furia fifth.
Not content with third, Strauss also moved to the high side and his car hooked up where he picked off Smithhart on lap 23 and made the winning pass on Coburn on 26. Strauss pulled away and lead the distance for the win. Coburn finished second with Smithhart third, Pruett fourth and Furia fifth. NCRA 2001 modified champion Billy Binns of Upper Lake finished sixth.
Furia captured the trophy dash and heat wins went to Freedom Hawthorne, Bishop and Bill Shura.
Mini stock action saw Frank Howard take the lead away from Glenn Koeppel on the fourth lap but he lost the lead to Andrew Snider three rounds later. Fast qualifier (13.968) Kevin Barba followed Snider to the front and Darin Snider picked off Howard for third on lap 10. Both D. Snider and Stuart Lydon passed Barba in lapped traffic on lap 18, and two rounds later D. Snider pushed way high as he was being passed by Lydon and track officials stopped the race to reprimand D. Snider.
The restart saw A. Snider and Lydon side-by-side and as the pair came up on the slower car of Tom Burger, A. Snider was trapped and both Lydon and Barba went by. Lydon accepted his seventh win followed by Barba, A. Snider, Jake Tillman and Rod Gard. Heat wins went to Justin Potter and Gard. Dusty Barton won the trophy dash. Andrew Snider has honored as the 2001 NCRA mini stock champion.
The bomber 30 lapper saw 20 cars take the green flag with Casey Saunders out in front of Ron Bertram and Derek Thorn. Jeremy Nowlin and Pruett were fighting for fourth and fifth when Nowlin's car broke loose and spun on the back stretch to bring out the yellow.
Pruett pulled ahead of Saunders on the restart and drove the distance for the win. Trophy dash winner Mark Maines worked his way up to finish second ahead of Jeff Davis and Michael Bishop. Sanders finished fifth. 2001 NCRA bomber champion Darrin Knight finished eighth. Jeff Davis and Don Baker tied for second place in the points standings. Kenny Grinols won the "B" main and heat wins went to Wendy Peirce, Saunders and Nowlin. Knight set fast time of 14.907 over the 31 car field.
Sixteen late models started their feature with Todd Carmichael, Eddie Robinson and Danny Harris running one-two-three the first seven rounds. Mike Sullivan spun in turn three on lap eight to bring out the first caution, and three circuits later the race was slowed again when Mike Swaney and Jim Stillman came together and hit the turn three concrete. Doss had worked his way up and took the lead away from Robinson on lap 11 and pulled away from the pack.
The mid point of the race saw the red flag wave when Robinson's car broke loose and spun in turn one. With no where to go, Rick Rose and Jeremy Hopkins tangled and the impact caused Rose's car to break and oil line spreading oil the entire width of the track.
When racing resumed, Thomas Wright ran second behind Doss. Todd Schnieder drove by Carmichael for third on lap 16 and Justin Offenbach slipped by Carmichael on 25. On the white flag lap Offenbach spun in turn four, and the pack raced to the yellow checkered flag with Doss the winner. Wright finished second ahead of Dan Knight, Schneider and Mike Swaney.
Wright set fast time of 12.954, Jeremy Hopkins won the dash and heat races went to Robinson and Stillman.
The Lakeport Speedway takes a two week break for the Lake County Fair and returns to action on September 15 for the 6th annual Bomber Bash featuring Twin 50 lap $500 to win events. Call the speedway office at 274-2844 for information and an entry form.
