Pompey The Kellish Hill Music Farm has concluded its successful second annual American Music Festival. The fun lasted all weekend. Admission was $10 for Friday, $10 for Saturday ("Fiddlers' Day"), $5 for Sunday ("Gospel Day"), or $20 for all three days. The event was catered by Knoxie's Pub.
Mark Smith served as emcee, introducing the various acts and drawing on his experience as a radio personality. Venders were present, selling jewelry, textiles, handbags, and garments. Steve Simon, of Plank Road Magazine (who advertised the Festival), gave away posters and sold subscriptions.
"State and Federal funding for the arts has been cut. We want to keep everyone enjoying live arts," Simon said.
The festivities began with a participatory outdoor jam at 5 p.m. Friday. Instruments present included guitars, mandolins and an accordion. The kickoff concert, which took place in the music barn, began at 7 p.m. with the singing of "The Star-Spangled Banner," led by Maggie Taylor. Dozens of people were in attendance.
The Hamilton Ramblers – a three-piece composed of guitar, bass, and mandolin – offered a pleasing mix of instrumentals and songs including "Working It Out" by Shel Silverstein. Their harmonies were exquisite, and the mandolin and guitar took turns expertly soloing. The popular local group Folkstrings played next, opening with "This Land Is Your Land." Their instruments included guitars, washtub bass, banjo, zydeco tie, recorder and shaker. They played a number of songs popular in the 1960s and '70s, "from that folk boomlet that the Beatles wiped out," frontman Mike Kester said. Their offerings included "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" and "The Last Thing On My Mind."
The highlight of the evening was a performance by singer-songwriter Dusty Pascal who played a number of originals, including "Sun-Dried Heart," "Devil Wind," "Brother John" and the indescribably gorgeous "Real Love." His five children joined him on stage for his first two songs and provided backing vocals. He was later accompanied by Bill Hider on washtub bass. Several of the songs are on his new album, "Human Heart," which took him nine months to record.

The company expects to ship about 12 million LCD monitors in 2006, the Chinese-language Apple Daily reported earlier this year. The Taiwan-based company shipped about 7.6 million LCD monitors in 2005, for a number four ranking, trailing after Dell, Samsung Electronics and HP, the research firm Displaybank stated in February.
This is good for the consumer, especially considering Acer already offers some of the best-priced LCDs around. The cost of 17" and 19" LCDs, standalone, is still prohibiting to some, but hopefully not much longer.

Headlights have been an integral component of automobiles ever since their introduction in the early 1900's. They were originally developed to offset the high fatality rate of night time drivers. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stated that, "Nearly half of all traffic-related fatalities occur in the dark, despite only 25% of traffic travelling during darkness."
Have you ever wondered why there are so many different types and styles of headlights? Advances in technology, ever changing demographic trends, and varying safety standards have spurred the transformation of the once elementary and simplistic headlight design into a plethora of different shapes, designs, and styles.
With over 200 million motor vehicles on U.S. roadways everyday, chances are, you've seen just how different headlights can be.
Today, headlight construction is based on one of two main standards; The ECE or the SAE. The distinction among the two standards is based upon three main criterions.
1. The extent of allowable glare on other drivers
2. The least amount of light emanating down a straight away
3. The precise location and light levels of emanating beams
The ECE is widely accepted by nearly every industrialized country outside of the United States. The SAE is unique in that it is the only standard that is mandatory in the United States and no where else.
U.S. automotive lighting manufacturers began to focus on the strategy of balancing low power and efficient light, where as Europe manufacturers focused mainly on performance and maximum output. Due to the difference in safety standards and performance goals, the distinguished styling of headlights produced by the U.S. and countries outside of the U.S. vary heavily in design and features.
So what specifically affects the performance of a headlight? There are two main factors responsible for lighting.
1. The optical systems which direct the light towards a focal point.
2. The light source itself that is actually emanating the light.
Today, there are two main types of optical systems used on automobiles. The first is known as a reflector lamp. These lamps use optics to direct reflected light. There are two main types of optics used in reflector lamps.
1. Lens optics - refracts light through a lens at the front of the headlight into a desired pattern.
2. Reflector optics - disperses light in a pattern designed into the reflector itself, rather than into the lens.
The second type of optical system common to automobiles is known as a projector lamp. This system concentrates reflected light into a focal point aimed through a condenser.
Beyond optical systems, the light source itself is the other major factor responsible for lighting. The original light source used for automobile headlights was ignited Tungsten gas in a sealed vacuum. These headlights are virtually obsolete due to their lack of efficiency.
The addition of halogen (quartz-iodine) technology with Tungsten created more light using less power.
The next advancement in lighting uses metal halide lamps that contain xenon gas. This method was dubbed as a high intensity discharge or HID. Introduced in the early 1990's by BMW, HID's had a much higher adoption rate in Europe and Japan than North America.
HID's have been praised for many benefits over halogen lamps. These reasons include:
1. Less power consumption with higher luminosity
2. Longevity
3. Increased Safety
The newest advance in automotive lighting was the use of LED technology. Advantages of LED's include lower power consumption, longer life spans and more flexible design possibilities. The 2009 Cadillac Escalade Platinum was the first all-LED headlamps sold in the U.S. market. LED headlights are still currently improving and are aspiring to be the new premium headlight.
In conclusion, there are many technical aspects that can affect the lighting of an automobile. Beyond optics and light sources, the dynamic control of headlights can drastically improve a vehicles performance. Also normal care and cleaning is a small detail that can drastically affect your headlights visibility. With continuous breakthroughs in technology, headlights will only bring us closer to a safer road.

New Faces: Professor Jessica Maxwell
Coming home: it's as American as traditions come. Adjunct professor in English Jessica Sheets Maxwell is well familiar with this adage and it is evident in her 151 English course, which focuses on the 20th century homecoming war narrative. However, Professor Maxwell not only studies homecoming narratives, she is also living one. A 2002 Rhodes graduate, this creative writing major has returned to her alma mater to continue cultivating the care and passion for literature and literary studies that she experienced here eight years ago as an undergraduate. This year, Professor Maxwell began her Rhodes teaching career while simultaneously working on her doctoral dissertation.
After living in Memphis and working for Memphis Magazine for a year after graduation, Professor Maxwell moved to Washington DC to pursue her PhD in 20th century literature. During her second year in graduate school at George Washington University, she began teaching classes similar to 151. "DC was spectacular," Professor Maxwell says, adding, "It was important for me to go somewhere different: meet different people and see a new part of the country."
As exciting and uplifting as the experience proved, she could only stay away from home for so long. In the spring of 2009, the Maxwell family returned to Memphis. "I've always wanted to work at a school like Rhodes," Maxwell notes. Returning to Rhodes with a new "professorial" perspective, she quickly noted the growth of the English department, particularly the Film Studies program, the number of creative writing and 151 classes offered, and the student attendance at department functions like lectures and readings.
Professor Maxwell's advice to Rhodes students, valuable given her unique ability to personally empathize with the perspectives of both students and teachers, "Experience the world a bit. You can always come home."

Banks For Kids Is Fun! Banks For Kids is for everyone! In Activity 1 Sally found a treasure chest. Now Sally wants to find somewhere for it to nest. She looks high and low. She asks everyone to help wherever she goes.
Skippy the skate calls a meeting. He is so excited he even stops eating. He asks everyone to make a list. He asks them to say what they think a safe place is.
Everybody gathers round. Skippy writes with his tail on the ground. Skippy loves to write. He sings; "Writing is such a delight."
Thinking together makes it easy for everyone. Tubby the turtle is so happy he starts to rhyme. All his friends clap their hands to keep time.
"Here on Banks For Kids Is Fun we are a team. Where thinking together helps us to reach our dream; of a safe place to keep our treasure. Oh being a team is such a pleasure."
Skippy looked into the sand and read his list to those around.
1) Keep treasure safe from pirates who roam the sea.
2) Keep treasure in one place for you and me.
3) Keep treasure sheltered from rough seas.
4) Keep treasure clean and free of sand.
5) Keep treasure out of thieves' hands.
6) Keep treasure hidden from those at sea and on land.
Now there is a list for everyone. They won't stop till the search is done. Suddenly Zippy the starfish shouts out; "Hurry, hurry come and see. I think I've found where the treasure chest should be!"
Everybody rushes over to look. They skip and dance and play and prance. It is always fun under the sea. They look at the place that Zippy has found. They know that if the treasure chest is kept there it will be safe and sound.
Now the treasure chest is safe; Sally the seahorse decides to have a Treasure Cove opening party. Treasure Cove is the name of where the treasure will be.
So in this lesson we talked about treasure being safe. People keep things safe too! We keep things safe in a safe! A safe is like a treasure chest where people put things they treasure. So now we have learnt about the word safe and that people keep things in a safe.

Dorel Juvenile Group USA Works with New Mexico Retailers to Meet Expected Increase in Booster Seat Demand New State Law in Effect June 17 Requires Boosters for All Children under the Age of Seven or under Sixty PoundsCANTON, MA (May 2, 2005) - Dorel Juvenile Group USA, an operating subsidiary of Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.SV, DII.MV; NASDAQ: DIIB), today announced that it has been working with New Mexico retailers to meet an increased demand for booster seats in anticipation of new state legislation. Beginning on June 17th, 2005, all children under the age of seven or under sixty pounds will be required to ride in a belt-positioning booster while traveling in the state of New Mexico. Thousands of parents are expected to respond to the law, creating a massive demand across the state.
Dorel Juvenile Group USA, manufacturers and marketers of Safety 1st and Cosco brand car seats, learned from the experience of other state's retailers who quickly sold out of booster seat stock when a similar new law was to take effect. Dorel has been working with retailers throughout the state to forecast the significant ramp up of inventory.
"States throughout the country are proposing and approving similar legislation in an effort to make booster seat use more uniform. Today's age requirements vary significantly by state, with the range fluctuating between 4 years old and 40 lbs. and 8 years old and 80 lbs. That's a big differential that parents need to be aware of as they cross state lines," said Bruce Cazenave, President & CEO of Dorel Juvenile Group USA. "This is why some new parents buying their first car seat are opting for a convertible car seat that can take their child from birth to the full eight year mark, no matter where they travel."
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) research shows that unrestrained motor vehicle travel presents the greatest risk to passengers ages 4 through 8. In 2000, almost half of the 4- to 8-year-old passengers killed in crashes were reported as totally unrestrained. In addition to the high number of fatalities, thousands of children were seriously injured in crashes because they were unrestrained.

DENENE WALLACE started baking goods that would help her manage blood sugar issues after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and gluten intolerance. Soon after, she founded Proseed Flour, a business specializing in the production of high-protein/low-carb gluten-free flour. Although at one time Denene needed five insulin shots a day to control her blood sugar, the recipes from her and Peter Reinhart's cookbook–The Joy of Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Baking (Ten Speed Press, August 2012)–have helped her completely eliminate her need for insulin.
As Halloween approaches, The Recipe Club has been thinking not only of candy and sweets, but also of the many things that terrify us in everyday life. We've partnered with our sister sites at Books for Better Living, Read It Forward, CrafterNews, and Crown, to ask our authors: What five things terrify you most? Here, Denene tells us five other foods besides sugar and carbs she stays away from. This is a fun one!
1. Gummie Worms & Snakes
Whose twisted mind came up with this gross idea? Not only are worms & snakes terrifying — but why would anyone want to eat them? Freaks me out!!! My nephew put one of the gummie snakes in my bed and when I turned the covers down I screamed so loud it woke up everyone in the house. NOT FUNNY !! I hate snakes!!!!!
2. Pepperoni
This is not a food to me. It could survive the apocalypse. Really really weird. The ingredients alone are …. what exactly — ???? BHA, BHT, Lactic Acid Starter Culture, Oleoresin of Paprika, Sodium Nitrite, BHA, BHT, Citric Acid… Anything that has a "Starter Culture" in it sounds like a laboratory experiment to me. How gross!!
3. Sushi
Okay I know a lot of people like this stuff – even my husband, but this is just the yuckiest thing to me. It's raw and they put all kinds of weird raw fish eggs and sea urchants on top and them wrap it in seaweed and people eat it. I just gag thinking about it. Fire was discovered for a reason people – to COOK our food. Disgusting…..
4. Cow's Tongue
Totally scared the wits out of me. I saw one in the butcher's shop and I almost screamed when I realized what it was. I do not get this at all. I thought I was gonna loose my lunch right on the spot. Oh sooooo …. not right!!!
5. Chicken Feet
Saw these in the butcher's shop too. I cringed and felt sick to my stomach. I just don't get it — what could anyone possibly do with these, besides the fact they are completely disgusting!!! Really freaked me out! Still think about it and get chills.

SUGAR HILL - After a four-year battle, the fight to keep a three-story apartment complex off Peachtree Industrial Boulevard is over.Gwinnett Superior Court Judge Timothy Hamil ruled earlier this month against the 240-unit complex proposed for 451⁄2 acres south of Ga. Highway 20 near Pinecrest Drive. The property is owned by Wendell Starke. In 2002, Dick Myrick Jr., Myrick Co. president, petitioned the City Council to rezone about 70 acres from heavy manufacturing to commercial on the front 25 acres and multi-family classification on the rear 451⁄2. Myrick originally planned to build a 292-unit, four-story, gated, swim/tennis apartment complex with 28 fee-simple townhomes along its outskirts, fronted on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard by an office facility. In February 2002, City Council members rezoned the front 25 acres to commercial property, but denied the multi-family rezoning. Myrick had promised to run the long-desired sewer lines up Peachtree Industrial Boulevard to service the complex. Even that didn't convince Sugar Hill's Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council members to vote in favor of the project. Ron Johnson was the only council member who voted for the apartments, and he defended them until his term ended in December. Myrick and attorney Doug Dillard sued the city after council members voted against the rezoning. They claimed the heavy manufacturing zoning was unconstitutional because the hilly topography was unsuitable for a manufacturing facility and several more acres of the same zoning classification lay undeveloped inside the city's boundaries. Magistrate Gene Reeves upheld Myrick's claim in August 2004. Reeves ordered the City Council to rezone the property to a classification other than heavy manufacturing. Sugar Hill's Planning and Zoning Commission reduced the proposed apartment complex to two stories of 144 units and allowed Myrick to develop 18 of the 451⁄2 acres. City Council members voted 3 to 1 in October 2004 to rezone the acreage to office/industrial. "I'll see you in court," Myrick told council members after the vote. And, for two years, he did. Dillard and Myrick hauled the city back into court, contending that Sugar Hill was in contempt of Magistrate Reeves' order. They claimed the O and I zoning was unconstitutional because of a weak market for commercial business in the area. Myrick was unavailable for comment at press time. Sugar Hill's liability insurance covered most of the cost to defend the city's case. Overall, the city spent about $100,000 out of pocket to keep the apartment complex from materializing, according to Mayor Gary Pirkle. "It was a worthwhile expense," Pirkle said. "Some people said it was a waste of time and effort to defend, and said we would never win, and we did. People living nearby probably thought it was worth it." The property is bordered to the west by a single-family home, to the south by acreage zoned heavy manufacturing, and fronts Peachtree Industrial Boulevard to the north, which is zoned light manufacturing. Neighbors opposed the apartment complex Brookside at Parkview subdivision on Level Creek Road, an established community of single-family homes, borders the northwest side of the proposed site. Many of its residents have fought against the apartment complex for four years. Residents said they didn't want to live in the shadow of a four-story apartment building and all the trouble it could bring to their neighborhood. They also voiced concerns of school overcrowding, increased traffic and environmental disruptions. Alan Brooks, a Brookside resident, told council members in 2004 that the construction would disturb a natural wetlands area that supports deer, crane and other wildlife. Steve and Tammy Wright have lived in Brookside at Parkview for 11 years. Their house backs up to the property line shared with the proposed development. A thick stand of trees creates a natural buffer between their backyard and the site. A creek flows under those trees only a few yards from the Wright's patio. "Every time they build something upstream, the creek floods," Tammy said. "The construction runoff from a project that size would have turned this place into a swamp." Ideas for development Although no apartments will fill the 451⁄2 acres, Starke still holds a chunk of acreage zoned for office and industrial uses along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. Both Pirkle and Wright look to Norcross for development examples. Pirkle visualizes a technology area taking shape. "A lot of us live in Sugar Hill, but not a lot work in Sugar Hill," Pirkle said. "If an office development or a small technology park, like in Norcross, came in, it would give more opportunities to do that." Tammy Wright wishes it could remain untouched. Nevertheless, she realizes the land will be eventually developed. "I would like to see something like a Forum go in," she said. "Something tasteful and nicely done. We don't need another strip center."

"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where –" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go."
Do you know where you're going? Where do you see yourself in a year, five years – and perhaps ten years down the road?
In the years where I have planned out what I wanted to accomplish, I invariably achieved what I set out to do – and it has consistently been more than in the years when I didn't plan.
So from my personal experience, it's true – if you don't know where you want to get to, it doesn't matter which way you go.
In Fact....Lack of planning is one of the 7 reasons people fail.
Do you have hopes and dreams you're chasing?
If you do, but aren't sure which way to go – perhaps a personal development plan will help you figure that out, and help you get there.
Why Write A Personal Development Plan?
"He who fails to plan is planning to fail."
– Winston Churchill
You may have previously read this discussion on writing down your goals: research shows it increases your chance of success.
Three big reasons I like having a personal development plan include:
- Clarity. Knowing what I am trying to accomplish
- Define The Why. Having a personal development plan shows me why I'm doing what I'm doing – even on days I don't feel like it
- My Compass. A personal development plan keeps me headed towards consistent goals.
What Is In A Personal Development Plan?
Answer: Write down what you want, why you want it, and how you plan to get there.
It's easier to see with concrete examples – so let's break it down
Personal Development Plan Example Sections
- Your Life Purpose. What were you born to do? What is the meaning of your life?
- Your Dreams. Those far reaching thoughts and hopes that inspire you to action.
- Short, Medium and Long Term Goals. I like to have at least some goals I can accomplish in the span of a few months along with multi-year goals. This lets me see that I have measurable progress towards my goals.
- Your Beliefs and Values. What do you stand for? And perhaps, what do you wish your actions showed you stand for?
- Success and Milestones. As you accomplish goals and dreams, celebrate your successes.
Personal Development Plan Template
One of the areas many people struggle with is setting goals.
That is a whole other article in and of itself on how to effectively set goals, but lets talk specifically in the context of a personal development plan.
How can you get a good overview of the direction you want your life to head? You should sketch out some goals in the most important areas in your life, at regular intervals.
I like to go ten years out, but three or gives years is great too.
A very simple personal development plan template for goals might look like this:
Personal Development Goals
|Goal Area
|One Year
|Three Year
|Five Year
|Ten Year
For each box, answer these questions:
- What specifically do I want to accomplish?
- Why?
- Who can help me?
- How do I get there? (What actions do I need to take?)
Personal Development Planning Tools
In addition to the information above, consider other tools to help you with your personal development. You an use these to get some personal development plan ideas.
- Events. Especially for career and education goals, are there seminars you can attend? Conferences? Meetups where people similar to you gather?
- Classes/Books/Educational material. Sometimes the first step is finding the resources we need. You may want to start by checking out some of my personal development product reviews.
- Mentors and Supporters. Who can you reach out to that can help you with your goals? For many of my personal goals, I've formed individual mastermind groups towards a specific purpose. If you'd like me to mentor you – you can contact me for coaching, or receive free training below.
Free Personal Development Course
If you're looking to dip your toes in, and want a pre-laid out set of exercises to help you with your personal development plan, I recommend signing up for my free personal development course, personal development 101.
It includes a series of instructions, exercises and inspiration.
You'll learn a lot about yourself, your life purpose, your dreams – and can immediately start seeing results in your life.
See more information about personal development 101 here.
This article is actually an excerpt from a workbook in my course, The Action Solution. In that course we break down different options, and you can learn how to do a personal development plan for yourself (an individual development plan) or perhaps even a personal development plan for work.
This article literally covers a small fraction of what I talk about in just one of the five modules (Your Compass).
Take today's lesson as a starting point – and then, sign up for personal development 101 here, or check out The Action Solution if you are ready to make real, massive positive change in your life.
You don't have to go it alone. If you like what you've seen so far, and want to make the most out of your life, take a moment to read the details about my course The Action Solution and see if it's something you'd be interested in. It is the result of decades of experience, and hundreds of hours of working with real people – just like you.

My brother-in-law, Rodney, the wizard of wisecracks in our family, was sitting at the island in my kitchen, watching as I put away food from a Sunday School get-together.I pulled out a Styrofoam take-out container and began to fill it with food for a friend who was ailing. "Ronda," he said in that tone he uses when I'm about to get a lecture about my stupidity on this or that. "Surely, you don't re-use Styrofoam containers." I stopped dipping green beans and looked at him incredulously. "Of course, I do." I smiled before I returned the volley. "I'm green. I practice recycling." He rolled his eyes. "That's not recycling, dummy. That's re-using. There's a big difference." I thought back to all the times I've seen Mama and my grandmothers wash and dry baggies then stack them away neatly for use again. I fluttered my eyelashes and smiled coquettishly. "I'm Scotch-Irish and this is the way we recycle." He shook his head in complete disbelief. "I can't believe you do that. That is the height of redneck." Coming from an expert on the matter, it must be true. "What would Jeff Foxworthy say? I'm sure he'd get some good material out of it." That's when I had to laugh. I thought back to a few weeks before when Jeff and his precious wife, Gregg, had been at my house for a simple Southern supper. Jeff and Rodney stood in the kitchen, chatting, while Louise and I put food away. I pulled out a Cool Whip container and poured mashed potatoes in it. I see no reason to throw great storage containers like that away. Jeff tilted his head to one side and scratched at his ear. "You know, my sister's got a whole matching set of them bowls." He gestured toward the Cool Whip container. "When we eat with her, she uses them for salad bowls." Great. One professional comedian and one who thinks he's a comedian making fun of my frugal ways. But it is the way of my people. If my mama could use it again, she never threw it out. My grandmother saved loaf bread wrappers and used them for bags. If she was going on a long trip - usually an hour or so - she'd make sausage and biscuits, wrap them in a paper napkin and put them in a bread bag. When she came to visit us for an overnight stay, she brought her clothes in a paper grocery sack. "You waste too much," Mama said disapprovingly one day as she watched me unload groceries and throw the bags in the trash. That's not the truth, especially according to Rodney. When I'm shopping, I often refuse a bag and just carry my purchase out in hand. I save bath water and tote endless gallons outside to water flowers and trees. This I learned from my Scotch-Irish mama who, long before it was cool to be green, toted her dishwater outside in an old metal dishpan and poured it on her roses. Mama used recycled water all her life. She had grown up humble in the mountains where they toted water from the creek and used the cool water to store a "spring box" which kept their milk and butter chilled. She knew the value of water. I save string, ribbon, bows and, when possible, wrapping paper. I eat leftovers for a week at a time and air conditioning is never turned on before June since I depend heavily on ceiling fans. In the winter time, I bundle up good and turn the heat down low. From my ancestors, I believe I've learned well. Are we thrifty or ingenious? Probably a little of both. But if things keep going like they're going, more people are going to wish they had a Scotch-Irish upbringing. After all, we were the original recyclers.

A judge has agreed to hear testimony during an evidentiary hearing for Bob Bashara, who is seeking a new trial after being convicted of arranging his wife's death.
He was back in court Tuesday and so were his former defense attorneys.

2014 WSOP Event #58 $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Mixed MaxJuly 3, 2014 - 2:24am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Those wondering about the format of this tournament have faith, it's easily explained. The event is a No-Limit Hold'em and the part that makes it unique from all other No-Limit Hold'em tournament is the maximum number of players at each table.
Day 1 began with nine players at each table then on Day 2 the tables go to six players and on the final Day 3 the tables are four-handed until down to the last four at which point the match becomes a heads-up event. This is the same format as an earlier $25,000 buy-in Event #2 won by Vanessa Selbst The Mix Max format was introduced during the 2013 WSOP.
The final heads-up match occurred between Jared Jaffee and Mike Watson. Watson had to battle his way from behind when he played the semi-final match against Mark Herm and prevailed after coming desperately close to elimination. But, this second match with Jared Jaffee sitting across the felt didn't include another miracle come-from-behind save.
The two traded the chip lead back and forth but eventually Jaffee pulled ahead. The final hand saw Watson with pocket Jacks to Jaffee's Ace - 6 of clubs. The board gave Jaffee the winning 8 high straight to trump Watson's Jacks and he alone stood atop the field of 1,475 starters. Winner Jared Jaffee collected $405,428 from the $1,991,250 prize pool and his first WSOP gold bracelet.
2014 WSOP Event #56 $1,000 No-Limit Hold'emJuly 2, 2014 - 11:19am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
We have pointed out the popularity of No-Limit Hold'em poker many times while covering the 2014 World Series of Poker. If you offer the "Cadillac" of tournament poker games it doesn't matter a great deal how much or little the buy-in they will come and stand in line with their seat money in their hands. Having just witnessed a $1 million buy-in event that pulled in 42 players we now move to a $1 thousand buy-in that sold 2,525 seats.
These lower buy-in tournaments typically break the money bubble on Day 1 and event #56 was no exception having reached the 270 players scheduled to be paid from the $2,272,500 prize pool in the day's final level.
The additive allure of WSOP gold bracelets seeds the list of entrants with well known pros players seeking the gold. With the large fields even the lowest rung of buy-ins creates huge prize pools and again, event #56 was no exception offering the winner $403,482 in cash. It may not be the $15 million up for grabs in The Big One for One Drop but it will certainly help to pay the bills and pad the play bank.
Today's poker player to cash in the $1,000 poker jackpot and walk away with a WSOP gold bracelet and $403,483 in cash was Mike Kachan of Edina, MN. He defeated Jeff Blenkarn heads-up in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Blenkarn will be sitting on $250,815 as he makes his way back home to Rockford, MI.
Come on down to the Rio in Las Vegas, we're keeping your WSOP seat warm for you.
2014 WSOP Event #57 $1,000,000 The Big One for One DropJuly 2, 2014 - 2:16am
by Joseph C. Smith Sr.
A poker tournament with a prize pool totaling $37,333,338. And that's after $111,111 from each of the 42 entrants $1 million buy-in which totals $4,666,662 is set aside for the One Drop Foundation. Arithmetically inclined readers will be quick to note when you add the prize pool and the One Drop donation you get exactly $42 million. So how much goes to the house? None! Harrah's WSOP is not taking any of the money.
This 3 Day event offered plenty of exciting and often humorous moments. Amazing how at this level of poker the players can be so casual about anything considering the amount of money at stake. The top eight finishers received at least $1,306,667 in cash. Even after deducting the original $1 million buy-in some serious money remains.
Day 3 saw the field of 42 cut to just 2 players with chips. A 23-year-old Daniel Colman from Holden, MA faced 5 WSOP bracelet veteran Daniel Negreanu. Going into the heads-up play Colman held the chip lead with 68 and a half million to Negreanu's 57 and a half million. Five hands later Negreanu had the chip lead with 73 and a half million to Colman's 52 and a half million. Nrgreanu continued to stretch his lead and was holding a 2 to 1 advantage then the momentum reversed and quickly colman was ahead.
Negreanu pulled ahead one more time then Colman pulled ahead and continue to pad his lead. He never looked back after that and finally Negreanu shoved his remaining chips into the pot holding Ace-4o and was called and covered by Colman tableing a K-Qo. The flop showed J-A-4 giving Negreanu two pair and the lead and Colman needing a 10 for a straight. The turn was a 10 giving Colman the lead and a straight and leaving Negreanu in desperate need of an Ace or 4. The river was a 7 and Colman was the owner of a very special WSOP bracelet and $15,306.668 in cash. He's also in the poker history book as the winner of the second largest cash prize in a poker tournament.
Daniel Negreanu received $8,288,001 for second.
WSOP Branding Machine - Part Two : Changing of the GuardJuly 1, 2014 - 1:36pm

Until moments after the 2009 WSOP final table proceedings in the fall, Jeffrey Pollack was the public face of the WSOP. And then, suddenly, he announced his resignation and rushed off to take interviews that controlled the immediate spin on his departure. He said he was ready to survey opportunities in new pastures and pleased to have contributed to the growth of the WSOP brand.
Despite the happy state of affairs effectuated by the Pollack-Stewart collaboration, the collegiality between the two men had begun to wane at least a year earlier. A corporate reorganization of CIE was also afoot. Although Pollack had recommended a strong initiative in the online gaming market, and sought to add this responsibility to his portfolio, Caesars Entertainment CEO Gary Loveman was zooming in on Mitch Garber, the recently departed CEO of Party Gaming, to lead such an effort.
Mitch Garber Steps up to Bat
Pollack's unveiled opposition to Garber as his potential boss made for an awkward situation once Garber was plainly in line to take the reins of CIE (initially Harrahs Interactive Entertainment), including Pollack's most treasured domain, the WSOP.
In the spring of 2009, Garber became CEO of CIE. With Garber's blessings, Pollack assumed the title of President of CIE, briefly. But, Garber was running the show and relying on others as he built his team. In the fall of 2009, Pollack resigned. Garber tapped Stewart as his replacement.

2014 WSOP Event #51 $1.5K No-Limit Hold'em Monster StackJuly 1, 2014 - 3:13am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
When was the last time the final two heads-up players had chip counts of 80,200,000 and 37,550,000? How about in a $1,500 buy-in event? This is exactly the situation in event #51 of the 2014 World Series of Poker happening now at the Rio Resort in Las Vegas.
It's the $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em Monster Stack that pulled in 7,862 entrants and created a prize pool of $10,613,700 paid to the top 792 finishers. The winner receiving an incredible $1,327,083 for their $1,500 investment plus one of the WSOP gold bracelets.
The wild success of this format is certain to not only be repeated in coming years but will likely be expanded to more than one event. Each of the starters receive 15,000 in play money and then attempt to survive the three days of play and become the latest WSOP millionaire.
When the dealing was done Hugo Pingray held every one of the 117,750,000 tournament chips in play. He also laid claim to the winner's pile of cash totaling $1,327,083 and his first WSOP gold bracelet. Pingray will also have an interesting story to tell his fellow travelers as he wings it home to Switzerland.
Joseph McKeehen collected $820,863 for second place.
2014 WSOP Event #55 $1,500 No-Limit Hold'emJuly 1, 2014 - 2:18am
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Event #55 of the 2014 World Series of Poker at the Rio in Las Vegas was another of the player and crowd pleaser. A $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em match that always attracts quite a crowd and this one was no exception. Day 1 saw 2,396 entrants take a seat for the scheduled three day event. Offering a prize pool of $3,234,600 paid to the top 243 finishers.
A purse share totaling $582,321 was held for the winner along with a new WSOP gold bracelet. As is typical of these events most of the field was on the rail at the end of Day 1 leaving just 268 players with chips to return on Day 2 and continue the journey to poker stardom.
When the final table was reached on Day 3 David Jackson had a commanding chip lead with 4,950,000
while the next closest stack was just under a million and held by Aaron Massey. Jackson finally hit the rail in 4th place while Massey went out in the 3rd spot.
Heads-up play between Asi Moshe and Michael Ferrer began with Ferrer holding a slight chip lead. It only required 7 hands into the heads-up play before Asi Moshe had all of the chips, $582,321 in cash and his first WSOP gold bracelet which he can admire on his return trip home to Tel Aviv, Israel.
Michael Ferrer had to settle for $361,207 in cash for his runner-up finish.
2014 WSOP Event #54 $3,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or BetterJune 30, 2014 - 12:42pm
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Buy a seat in WSOP event #54 for $3,000 and spend three days at risk of mental overload trying to figure out all the intricacies of Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split-8 or Better. Omaha is noted for it's wild action that can produce constant swings in chip stacks. Watching these tournaments always appeals to the fans and favorite.

2014 WSOP Event #53 $10,000 Ladies No-Limit Hold'em ChampionshipJune 29, 2014 - 8:10pm
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Finally, one of my favorites events. When the ladies all gather around the tables and play serious poker. This year's event drew 793 ladies to the No-Limit Ladies Championship, down about 17% from last years 954 entrants. A prize pool of $713,700 distributed among the top 81 finishers with the winner receiving $153,470 in cash and a special WSOP gold bracelet.
Probably some of the readers are saying, "Hey, wait a minute. Just how much juice is the house keeping if the prize pool for a $10,000 buy-in event with 793 paid admissions is only $713,700?" That's a legitimate question that can be easily answered by a little bit of politically correct sleigh of hand. To keep this ladies event stocked with only ladies and none of those rowdy males the WSOP had to resort to creating a situation that didn't appeal to the boys. All Ladies entering that are indeed ladies receive a discount of 90% on their buy-in while male entrants much pay full price. Clever, huh?
Once the heads-up stage was reached between Mikiyo Aoki and Haixia Zang it only took eleven hands to have our ladies champion for the 2014 World series of Poker. Haixia Zang of Los Gatos, California stood alone above the field holding all the chips and claiming her WSOP gold bracelet and the $153,470 belonging to the champion.
Mikiyo Aoki fought the good fight but came up one position short finishing in second place so heads home to Bozeman, Montana with her $94,800 in prize money.
2014 WSOP Event #52 $10,000 Limit Hold'em ChampionshipJune 29, 2014 - 2:16pm
by Joseph Smith Sr.
Prior to the online poker boom of the early mid 2000's, poker players could find a limit hold'em game in every poker room in Las Vegas. Then the online poker crowd discovered that real Hold'em was played as a no-limit game where the player could shove all of their chips in anytime. After all, that's how they did it at the WSOP's Main Event or "The Big Game."
Today, it's difficult to find any limit Hold'em game at any level of play. A majority of poker players prefer No-Limit Hold'em, finding limit too slow and short on action, but that didn't stop the 122 entrants from handing over $10,000 for a seat in the WSOP Event #52 Limit Hold'em Championship.
A prize pool of $1,146,800 awaited the top 18 finishers. The winner's share amounted to $303,909 plus a WSOP gold bracelet and bragging rights to World's best Limit Hold'em player.
When the long and hard fought heads-up battle for all the chips finally came to an end in the small hours of Sunday morning it was David Olson holding the winning hand, all the chips and title to the WSOP gold and a large pile of cash. David Olson will be returning home to Dallas,Texas with $303,909.
Mikail Tulchinskiy was first runner-up and heads back to Russia with $187,811 in cash. Limit specialist Bill Chen made the final table but fell short and left in 6th place.

Scenes From Occupy Wall Street's May Day Celebration
Posted on May 2, 2012
The New York Times may not have seen fit to give Occupy Wall Street's May Day protest—a daylong, citywide event involving thousands of people—the front page prominence it deserves. But The Guardian did. Ryan Devereaux in New York City reports below.
The Atlantic Wire, Gothamist and The Daily Beast had substantial coverage as well.

Who knows perhaps at the end of the day, most people who may have have cared about the protests will have been put off by the reality that 'reality can be a pretty crooked and bleak one,' or to put it another way, as long they're somehow managing to eke out their 'version of sunshine there really isn't too much pay off to make too much noise.

The Contender
The Contender returns
by Keith McDuffee, posted Oct 19th 2005 1:44PM
We received a lot of positive comments regarding the old NBC reality show, The Contender, last season. Somehow the news of the show being picked up by ESPN for a second season slipped through the cracks! ESPN aired a boxing event last Saturday night, which featured former contestants from the show and receiving the highest viewer ratings for a boxing event for ESPN in eight years. Fans of the show are no doubt thrilled to see the series return.
The Contender: The Final Fight
by Keith McDuffee, posted May 24th 2005 11:23PM
I'll be honest, I haven't been watching this series for two reasons. First, it's on during other shows I watch and secondly, it's already not renewed for a second season. I did catch part of the final fight, which seemed decent though a bit anti-climactic (i.e., no knock out). I felt horrible for one of the fighter's daughter in the audience, who was crying hysterically as she was forced to watch her father get pummeled. Dear lord, woman, why didn't you have someone take her out of there?!

ABC still dominates Sunday night ratings
by David Thomas, posted Apr 25th 2005 4:50PM
In a story we're tired of writing, ABC again has topped the other networks in Sunday night ratings despite a "best of" version of Desperate Housewives. That special drew 23.7 million viewers and gave Grey's Anatomy a lead-in for another record showing of 18 million viewers. Extreme Makeover: Home Edition also won its timeslot with 16.7 million viewers. The surprise of the night was the CBS original movie Locusts starring Lucy Lawless, Xena herself, ringing up 12.7 million viewers. That's not too shabby for such a pitiful looking vehicle. The American Top 40 Awards drew a measly 4 million viewers while The Contender managed to land 5.5 million and 6.4 million viewers for its two episodes that aired back-to-back.
Sunday ratings stay with ABC
by David Thomas, posted Apr 18th 2005 3:38PM
Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy destroyed the competition Sunday night as the rest of the networks came up lame with reruns and theatrical films. Housewives clocked in a mindblowing 25 million viewers while Grey's had its best ratings so far with 19 million. Fox came in a distant second with new episodes of The Simpsons and the season finale of Arrested Development. AD only managed 5.9 million viewers. That's sad. The Contender didn't outrate anyone as Law & Order: Criminal Intent's repeat led NBC's line-up with 9.7 million viewers.
The Contender: The Final Eight
by David Thomas, posted Apr 17th 2005 10:59PM
Does anyone feel this show is dragging on? Every reality show I watch seems to just go a few episodes long these days. The Contender is no exception. This week there were only two fighters left, so there was no need for a challenge to see who would fight. Jimmy and Joey seemed like a boring fight and for the most part it was. But the knockdown at the end that signaled Jimmy's inability to capitalize on his opponents injury and the wild shots Joey could unload.
Yahoo investigating real Web TV
by David Thomas, posted Apr 11th 2005 9:22AM
Internet giant Yahoo is looking to expand their multimedia empire with more TV programming. Not giving you the daily grid, no Yahoo wants to broadcast shows over the Internet. They experimented with it earlier this year by showing the debut of Showtime's Fat Actress and are looking to expand content. I also noticed the two expanded websites for The Apprentice and The Contender are on Yahoo, not NBC's website. It seems the big Y knows what we do, TV junkies are important folks.
The Contender: Round Five
by David Thomas, posted Mar 27th 2005 10:13PM
This is the point in most reality shows where I lose interest. The characters get dull, the premise gets dull and the format starts to grate on you. For some reason I'm still enjoying The Contender, and my only reasoning for it is that at the end there's a real battle as opposed to a boardroom showdown. This week was actually interesting for fight fans as there was the return of Peter Manfredo Jr. to the ring. Throughout the episode, everyone was saying how out of it he looked. Yet, like the real Vargas-Joval fight Saturday, even though Miguel threw a lot more punches, it seemed Manfredo had the power. Vargas looked lackluster compared to his pre-injury days, but for a comeback fight he did enough to make a statement Saturday. So did Manfredo tonight. However, after watching the Vargas fight, I really would like NBC to show the five rounds unedited. It would take the same amount of time as the edited version it seems to me (15 minutes for the three-minute rounds, five minutes for the corner action). That would be much improved and show "reality!" And I'm very glad someone from the East team finally won.
Sunday Ratings: All about the brackets
by David Thomas, posted Mar 21st 2005 4:50PM
The Duke-Mississippi State game running into primetime gave CBS the nightly ratings with the game's 16.4 million viewers. That crowd stuck around for "60 Minutes" drawing 16.3 million viewers and "Cold Case" with 16.5 million. Even "Spring Break Shark Attack" drew 11.5 million idiots...I mean viewers. Over at ABC a rerun of "Desperate Housewives" attracted 13.2 million slowpokes and "Boston Legal" finished with 11.4 million. Wait a second, a new "Boston Legal" had less viewers than "Spring Break Shark Attack?" Travesty. "The Contender" is slowly improving to 7.8 million viewers. But that's still not good considering "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" drew 12.3 million and "Crossing Jordan" drew 11.2 million. "The Simpsons" are flat these days with only 8.6 million viewers and "Arrested Development" is doing poorly as well with 5.9 million.
The Contender: Round 4
by David Thomas, posted Mar 21st 2005 5:24AM
I'm catching up on my watching here. Last night's Contender was tough to watch. Knowing that Najai committed suicide last month meant it was going to be painful to follow this week's action. It also meant we knew the outcome of the fight between Najai and Sergio. I'm just glad Najai had that amazing second round and wasn't completely outboxed. The show did a good job of addressing what really happened but left the episode itself full of painful Najai material. We hear from Najai about how devastated he was that he lost. And we also see him playing with his baby daughter. That is real human tragedy and makes me unsettled as a voyeur into this family's pain. Folks can donate money to Najai's daughter through the show's website. The website is actually on Yahoo.com for some reason and it is much more updated than NBC's site.

How do you get work done today?
There are tons of great productivity apps today. There are great chat apps, great note taking apps, great task apps, great project tracking apps. But using them all at once isn't so great.
Sure it may only take one extra step to find that attachment or that email from three months ago. But what happens during that process?
It's far more likely that something else will catch your eye. Say, for instance, a song someone shared with you or an email from your family.
Also consider the energy it takes to switch between these different tools. There's an inherent friction involved in switching between your email, documents, IM, task list, and notes. Each one has their own user interface, their own navigation, their own set of idiosyncrasies.
One thing leads to another and now trying get fully concentrated on your work again takes another 15-30 minutes. This time and effort adds up and now instead of having that task finished, that bug fixed, that project completed – you've got nothing to show for it.
How do you want to get work done today?
Using so many single minded tools to get a task done is going about it the wrong way. Tasks should be more than a single line with a check box. Chats should have context around a focused subject. Your notes shouldn't be isolated on some island. Project tracking shouldn't require everyone to to take time out of their day to go to yet another app and write an update.
We're creating an interactive group organizer to provide a simpler way to share information. We're working on combining the best features of these various isolated apps. We want you to have more time and happiness.

The Center for Business and Economic Development offers a variety of courses designed for frontline managers. If you are interested in courses not listed here, contact us—we can develop custom programming that is specific to your needs, your organization, and your industry.
Recent studies, such as the one described in First, Break All the Rules, highlight the critical importance of frontline managers in creating effective work environments. These studies also draw a direct link between the effectiveness of frontline management and the financial success of the organization.
This course explores the unique role requirements of frontline management. On completion, participants will be able to:
More than 25 million meetings are held every day in the United States, with middle managers spending up to 50 percent of their work week in meetings.

This experiential course gives participants the tools they need to achieve intended meeting results. On completion, participants will be able to:
Participants will leave this course with the tools necessary to achieve immediate, dramatic improvement in the meetings for which they are responsible.
It is estimated that as much as 40 percent of a manager's time is spent dealing with conflict. Conflict is costly to organizations in other ways as well. For example, poorly managed conflict often increases turnover, with replacement costs averaging between 75 and 150 percent of the annual salary for each position. This course offers techniques and approaches to enhance conflict management skills and lower the cost of conflict for individuals and organizations.

Lava flows from Puu Oo vent are spreading over the coastal plain in Kalapana and over the weekend entered the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. But the flows are still about a half-mile from the ocean.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory released new lava photos taken Monday that show slow-moving breakouts of pahoehoe lava, with the characteristic look of bunched up rope as it cools.
Other photos released in the last month show how the lava has been spreading on the plain, rather than moving directly to the south, toward the ocean.
The plain is below the Pulama Pali and the Royal Gardens subdivision.
The observatory also released video and thermal images showing the summit lava lake rising at Halemaumau Crater.
A glow from the lava lake illuminates the gas plume coming from the vent at night. The lava level rises and falls as the volcano goes through inflation and deflation cycles. The lake level is about 230 feet below the floor of Halemaumau Crater.

A group of Michael Jackson fans dedicated to honoring MJ's tomb claim Lisa Marie Presley was dead wrong when she insisted that the pop star wasn't getting enough love at his grave site -- and they have the pics to prove it.
TMZ spoke with a rep from the "Original Michael Jackson Fans of Southern California" who told us they visit the site at least once a month -- and always flood the place with gifts and flowers. The group claims they've documented all of their trips with pictures like the one shown above, which was taken April 3rd.
As we previously reported, LMP had posted a message on her MySpace page yesterday, claiming there was too much "empty space" around the site and called for fans to step it up and send flowers.
But the rep from OMJFSC tells us, "You know what, we all know that we visit Michael once a month ... so like everything else we just have to find comfort in the fact that we know the truth.

Chalk It Up
POSTED BY Robby S., ON September 09, 2011, 1 COMMENTS
With their often ghastly depictions of war, the larger-than-life posters in Windows on the War have a way of eliciting strong reactions from museum-goers. So perhaps for this exhibition more than others, it made sense to provide a place for visitors to leave behind their own points of view. On one hand, the chalkboard is a time-honored medium many of us remember from our old school days; but in this case it also serves as an interactive space allowing visitors to creatively engage with the exhibition and each other.
We have been keeping a collective eye on the board since the show's opening, posting some of our favorite comments to a Facebook photo album. In many ways, it has been an enlightening, if flummoxing, experience to see what kinds of comments get the greatest response. Despite plenty of earnest reflection and personal testimony (even some from survivors of the war), the most popular comments are usually non sequiturs like "PANTS" or "Ponies Not War." It's almost as if the chalkboard has been co-opted in many ways by the language of social media. Pithy musings are met with jocular barbs as visitors react to one another in a kind of nonreciprocal correspondence.
Check our Facebook photo album as we update it each week and see if people 'like' what you have to say. Also, don't forget visitors are welcome to take photographs of many of the posters on display in Windows on the War. Tag us if you post a picture from TASS to Flickr, and we'll share it. Now if somebody wants to draw a cat playing the piano, maybe our TASS chalkboard photo album will go viral.
One Response to "Chalk It Up"
Who needs a Facebook wall post when you can have your say on a REAL wall? Brilliant idea!

What the fuck guys? FIVE FUCKING SONGS from Seventh Son of a Seventh Son! It's the best album the band ever put out. Plus they're doing THE PRISONER! Here's my take: INCREDIBLE SETLIST ON PAPER. I'm seeing this tour in August. Cannot fucking wait.
Best post in any of the Iron Maidn threads for this tour so far
Seriously, how bitter and jaded of a fan do you have to be to say this set looks bad on paper? How the hell can anyone think that? This set is awesome. I'll be seeing then twice this month and will love hearing this set both times.
