The cornfields are harvested Tuesday afternoon on the Rieman Farm in Crestline.
- Filed Under
After one of the wettest Junes on record in north central Ohio, followed by one of the wettest Julys, it looked like area agricultural producers would be hard-pressed to salvage their row crops this year.
But the growing season is a long one around here, and farmers are bringing in their corn and soybean harvests this week with smiles on their faces.
"Yes, it did impact yields," Chuck Miller, grain buyer for Hord Livestock on Ohio 98 south of Bucyrus, said of the early-summer rains. "We did have some drowned-out spots. It would have been better without that. ...

Ofcom lets Everything Everywhere roll out UK 4G this year
updated 08:04 am EDT, Tue August 21, 2012
Competitor claims foul on regulator decisions
Ofcom is allowing Everything Everywhere to use its existing spectrum for 4G services in the UK, despite carrier resentment. The statement on the regulator's website approves Everything Everywhere's rebranding request, which would see the 1,800MHz spectrum used for the 4G rollout from September 11 this year, well before the expected start of 4G services next year by other carriers.
As the full auction of the 2.6GHz and 800MHz bands is still scheduled for the start of 2013, it would be a "to the detriment of consumers" if Everything Everywhere, the parent company of Orange and T-Mobile, was delayed in rolling out its service. It also believed there "is no material risk that those benefits will be outweighed by a distortion of the competition," despite opposition from competitors such as Vodafone.
On hearing the news, a statement from Vodafone claimed the company was "shocked that Ofcom has reached this decision," suggesting it of showing a "careless disregard for the best interests of consumers, businesses, and the wider economy." Vodafone also called out Ofcom's timing, pointing out the reports of Everything Everywhere being in discussions with 3 over spectrum sales, after Ofcom had spent a considerable amount of effort "over-engineering" the 4G auction in order to protect the competition between carriers.
Vodafone claims to have commited themselves to covering 98 percent of the UK population with indoor 4G services by 2015, two years before Ofcom's own target, but suggests that the regulator's decisions are making this extremely difficult to perform. "We need to acquire spectrum in the auction to achieve this. Ironically, all that stands in our way right now is the regulator." [via T3]

Customer Reviews
Great Potential but basic features missing
I originally installed this application to enable me to download photos from my WD Cloud to my apple camera role as this 'send to' option is missing in the WD My Cloud application!
Although WD Photos allows me to download and upload to/from my camera role, the photo EXIF data (date taken, location GPS, other picture data) is not retained and so it is impossible to correctly catalog the photos once uploaded or downloaded.
Also the ability to auto upload/backup from the apple device is really a key feature that is missing, as well as being able to specify a location to upload photos to.
Really hoping for these basic features to be included in a future version.
Great app with only one flaw
Love this app, especially how it helps save memory on my phone by enabling storage of my photos elsewhere. Only one, well maybe two complaints. First is that when you use the app to upload pictures from your iPhone, you 'lose' the date stamp for the file, meaning on the hard drive, the file details show the date the file was uploaded, not the date the file was created. Additionally, when uploading from multiple Apple devices, it creates duplicative file structures...ie there is a Camera Roll folder for each device and it is hard to distinguish between each one.
need a little more customization
I definitely like how easy this is to set up and view my photos by folder. I have taken a lot of time to organize years' worth of photos so I appreciate this feature! However, I don't like that the only share folder available to work with the app is the Public share. I need to be able to password protect the folder or choose one of my Private folders, otherwise I will not use this. Hope an update is coming soon!

German reality TV show shot in West Palm Beach
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - You may not know their faces, but Colin Reichardt and William Cummings are reality television stars.
Their show, "Goodbye Deutchland," is shot in West Palm Beach. Season one was watched by an estimated 7-15 million viewers per episode.
The show followed Colin Reichardt and his wife as they put down roots and tried to start a business selling German "kababs" at a restaurant called Doner Pocket on Clematis Street. As many transitions go, there were some accidental missteps, making the show even more popular.
"We moved to one of the baddest [sic], or most dangerous places here in West Palm Beach," Reichardt explained.
As the show follows, several parts of South Florida don't resemble cultural life in Germany.
"It was funny to me when people were wearing gold grills. And I didn't really understand that part. Sagging pants," Reichardt laughed.
That's when the entrepreneur ran into real estate broker William Cummings, whose face appears on billboards and advertisements around the area.
"The young men came in, pointed at me, and said 'you're the guy we're looking for!'" explained Cummings.
Cummings has lived in West Palm Beach for several decades, and doesn't speak German. He is now recognized as a star by German tourists.
"A woman about forty-five years of age ran down the sidewalk yelling out my name in English and she said, 'Mr. Cummings, I don't want to hurt you, I saw you on German TV!'" Cummings explained.
The show's cast says several times a week in West Palm Beach, they run into German families who are trying to locate them during shooting.
"Couples walking around looking for us, seeing us, talking amongst themselves," said Cummings.
Season two will soon be shot, starting in January, again in West Palm Beach. This time, it will be a new start for the business and Reichardt's family who welcomed their baby girl at St. Mary's Hospital.
"My daughter is an American citizen and I'm happy about that," said Reichardt.
Since the show is a hit overseas in Germany, as well as Austria, Brazil and Switzerland, the cast hopes it gains popularity in the country it is shot.
"I don't think there is any show that is similar to the show that we have," Reichardt said.

Mason demoted in aftermath of Douglas' hit-and-run
TribLIVE Sports Videos
» Starting middle linebacker Dan Mason was demoted to second team in the aftermath of a hit-and-run accident early Sunday on the South Side in which teammate Jason Douglas faces a variety of charges. "Dan has to learn to make better decisions," Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt said. Douglas, 19, was charged with causing an accident resulting in serious injury, aggravated assault, DUI and underage drinking. He was suspended indefinitely from all team activities. Mason, who was a passenger in the car, wasn't charged. Wannstedt met with Mason and his family Wednesday morning. "This is for his good," Wannstedt said. "He needs to prove to me that he can do the right things and be accountable off the field, in the classroom and on the football field. When he does that, he will get his job back." Douglas, a third-string freshman running back from Opa-locka, Fla., is scheduled to return to court today. "The likelihood of his returning to this team is seriously in jeopardy," Wannstedt said.
» With Mason demoted, Max Gruder, the team's starting strong-side linebacker, will take over at first-team middle linebacker and get the start against Miami (1-1) on Sept. 23. Greg Williams will move from weak-side to Gruder's strong-side linebacker spot, a position he played last year. Tristan Roberts will move into starting weak-side linebacker role.
» Dom DeCicco (hamstring) and Andrew Taglianetti (groin) continue to make improvements after missing last week's game. Starting left guard Chris Jacobson remains hobbled with a sprained left ankle. If he can't play in a week, redshirt sophomore Ryan Turnley, who played the final three quarters of the New Hampshire game, will likely get the start.

Mystery surrounds Kamal Haasans 'Marmayogi'
23rd Aug 2008 15.00 IST
By ApunKaChoice
So what exactly is Kamal Haasan s next film about? There are many theories regarding the subject of the Tamil superstars Marmayogi .
According to one line of speculation, Marmayogi (Mysterious Saint) would be a childrens film with lots of special effects. Kamal will play a guide in the movie.
But according to another theory, Marmayogi will be a remake of the Hollywood film The Saint which starred Val Kilmer and Elizabeth Shue. The movie had Kilmer playing a high-profile thief who assumed different identities and names. Given Kamals fascination for playing such roles, it might be possible that Marmayogi is based on The Saint.
According to third theory, Marmayogi could be a remake of Mel Gibsons Oscar-winning movie Braveheart. Kamal has been growing a thick beard of late and has been sporting long untidy hair that has led to the speculation that he is preparing to play a warrior in a period drama on the lines of Braveheart.
Kamal Haasan himself has not yet spoken about the films storyline.
What is confirmed, however, is that Marmayogi will be directed by Kamal. The actor has previously directed three films Hey Ram , Virumaandi and Mumbai Xpress .
Marmayogi would be produced by Rajkamal Movies in association with Pyramid Saimira Theatre Ltd.

Politics Counts
Foreign Policy
did you think he would keep his campaign promises? Actually, why would you think any president would keep theirs? Besides, the President can say what he/she likes, but, Congress comes into play as well.
Anybody that p***sses off Cheney and Obama both has to be all right.
according to that standard, everything is leakable....
I thought this guy was another extremist ranter until he talked about Cheney...lol. I'm a democrat and I feel the same way...Obama is trying to work with congressional republicans and this is damaging his rep with us. Give up the dream, Obama. There is no compromise with the right...
Just another petulant, sniveling little Obama supporter that got his heart broken by being lied to. And Obama promised him he would still be there in the morning.
The Soviet police state / Sharia law with ankle police... The US police state makes them look primitive.
The terrorists exceeded their expectations. They underestimated our fear and stupidity.
The criminal naiveté of the far left.........
This guy has committed treason and should get the death penalty, plain and simple.
Americans have chosen President Obama twice, hear that, 2X! This means either they agree with his actions AND Policies, or they simply could care less and have deferred entirely. Americans have traded- off their freedom for security, or at least the small amount of personal privacy they once possessed prior to 9/11. Former V.P. Dick Cheney has a certain point of view: Officialdom is always right. He embodies officialdom, at least while he was V.P under President George W. Bush. In contrast, Ed Snowden has a slightly different point of view and wants to be a "change agent".
Problem is, the American people already decided what they want at the voting booth. So, all a whistleblower like Ed Snowden can accomplish is to ruin his career with the Federal government or its contractors, and risk imprisonment with real criminals and terrorists. America has changed since 2000 in so many ways. These trends are now firmly established. We are less free and under constant surveillence because this is the will of the American People. That won't change because of one whistleblower. So, the Federal government's reaction, if overdone, will reflect its own problems of insecurity, paranoia, and an attitude of retribution. This too is an aspect of today's America. Love it or leave it, but keep your (political) opinions to yourself because someone could be listening behind your back.
I can't stand Obama. I think he is simply the worst and most divisive president in history. However what politician is honest, truthfull, and keeps their promises? Unfortunately for our nation, this is a rarity. None of this give this clown the right to commit treason. Put in behind bars for life.
Snowden is the first of many young Obama voters who will be / are disillusioned with the prevaricator in the WH. Actually, he's not the first, but he's in the early wave of disenchanted Obamabots, with a whole lot more in the next three years.
Freedom or the Appearance of Safety...
Which one do you want? Call this man what you want, I am a conservative and have nothing but the utmost respect for our military. But really if we're all honest the Patriot Act is probably the most unconstitutional piece of legislation ever passed. It infringes on a number of provisions in the Bill of Rights and the abuse has only been exacerbated by the current administration. Personally I'd rather have my Freedom, than give a government access to everything there is to know about me, and trust that government not to trample my rights.
Would Thomas Jefferson or George Washington freely give the King George their phone records, email correspondence, and financial data?
I see no criminal naivete. I see a decent human being who wants to believe in the Bill of Rights. Anybody who trashes Cheney, the fascist, and Obama, the weasel, can't be all bad.
"The difference between treason and patriotism is only a matter of dates"
- Alexandre Dumas
How many of your liberties are you willing to sacrifice to feel safe?
Simply a traitor.
Snowden is the cyber- Benedict Arnold of modern times. He belongs in jail. He is providing the China government with sensitive info. He could provoke another 9-11 attack. He has committed treason.
The government should get rid of Booz Allen Hamilton for their hiring of Snowden. Our security should not depend on this irresponsible contractor who paid this miscreant $200,000. He never graduated from high school. Booz Allen and Hamilton compromised our national security.
At least now we know he is a lefty. One less thing to blame on the Tea Party.
Snowden is not credible. Why did he wait until now? If he really wanted to make a difference, he would have made his disclosures in the final weeks before the 2012 election.
Another disillusioned OBAMA VOTER..BOY ARE THEY ADDING UP..VOTER REMORSE EH?..
Lefty or Righty - he is consummate traitor to his country.
At first I gave this guy the benefit of the doubt. But as he began to spew more .... I concluded he is nothing more than a traitor. I hope they capture him; give him his day in court; and then execute him on a public square for treason.
First was the NSA. Now is the White House. What will be the next target of Edward Snowden?
It looks like Mr. Edward Snowden wants to make politics…
Really, is Mr. Snowden in condition to criticize others after all the actions that he made in the last few days?
"Obama's campaign promises and election gave me faith that he would lead us toward fixing the problems he outlined in his quest for votes. Many Americans felt similarly. Unfortunately, shortly after assuming power, he closed the door on investigating systemic violations of law, deepened and expanded several abusive programs, and refused to spend the political capital to end the kind of human rights violations like we see in Guantanamo, where men still sit without charge.''
That's what Obama gets for hiring his own people to run the government.
He should have leaked that sh1t before the 2012 election.
I wonder if this traitor is an actual China spy. What does a snitch who violated the Espionage Act deserve? This guy is clearly being manipulated by Chinese intelligence agents.
did all Americans a favor. I am a conservative and I do not believe what NSA is doing is constitutional. I will not vote for any republican that voices an opinion to harm Snowden. Without his voice, we would not know what is happening. True terrorists are not being targeted. Mosques are off base. After the IRS scandal, I do not know how a republican can condone this action of Obama's to spy on all Americans.
Snowden's machinations raise a very interesting question. Is it ever morally justified to publicly divulge government secrets?
The divulgence of almost any secret that embarrassed the nation, or put the country in a bad light, could be viewed as helping the enemy. Does that mean that there is never a time when it is morally right to divulge government secrets?
What kind of government secret would meet the moral bar for justifying public whistleblowing disclosure?
Is bribery on a defense contract enough to justify whistleblowing? What about abuse of prisoners or the extra judicial assassination of American citizens who are plotting against the government?
I honestly haven't made up my own mind as to what types of secrets are ok to publicly divulge. All I can say is that there are some secrets the divulgence of which would be treasonous and others which I would view as patriotic to leak. The problem is figuring out where the line is.
stupid kid should have gotten that mole taken off while the US Governement was still picking up his health insurance. He will likely be stuck with it for a while now.
"NSA has hacked civilian infrastructure such as universities, hospitals, and private businesses because it is dangerous. "
That is a pretty serious allegation. We should not have our government hacking our own businesses. They'll eventually turn that into tyranny.
This egotistical, sniveling weasel. What a pathetic little wimp. Enjoy your prison cell coward. The only people supporting you are the same clowns that lived in tents during OWS. All misguided spoiled drones who drank the Obama juice.
Ha ha ha ha ha!!!
as far as I am concerned I immediately believe that it is possible (may be easy) to get to all this info including email content. I believe that the controls are easy to overcome ..... this is criminal
I didn't believe that the IRS will harass political opinions either.
Bush is a Civil Liberty Activist compared with what we got with Obama ... I would never have thought so 6 years ago.
@ Domingo:
"Really, is Mr. Snowden in condition to criticize others after all the actions that he made in the last few days?"
I would think so. Would you be brave enough to put your cojones on the table and give the American government a meat cleaver just because you think it's the right thing to do? He already said he thinks his time is limited.
@ Hemingway: Double posts are offensive, more so when they are on the same board. This guy doesn't need to be a Chinese spy. The Chinese are constantly hacking our government databases, and by all accounts have been doing so for years. I don't know how big a pipe they have to this data, but the fact is, much of the data the government collected in an unconstitutional manner concerning you could very well be in Chinese hands by now.
There are so many lemmings in our society who are furious when someone takes the initiative to do what he thinks is right and is of benefit to the American people.
Regarding the comments above that "all presidents lie" by some posters, implying that Snowden is naive believing a candidate and should suffer for his naivete: A particular lie by the standing president was that he would put an end to this stuff. Instead he ramped it up, while at the same time curtailing civil liberties and rights in general. Someone now comes along to make him accountable and the children yell "no backsies". Well, this government is supposed to be by the people. Snowden was in the right place at the right time with the right ethics and courage to release this stuff, even after this administration tried to make an example of Assange and other whistle blowers. Just look at the changes to the whistle blower laws that are on the table now. These aren't just broken promises. They affect the fabric of our nation. Do you want only politicians to have a say in that?
And to Snowden: Info, yes. Politics, no. Shut up.
I am tired of seeing this criminal-betrayer of our country in the news and getting sympathy. He violated the agreement he signed and now he needs to pay the consequences.
Data is collected (for now) for counter terrorism. Later for tax purposes also. Then later for race. Then for gender.. It will develop to more and more " complex requirements" as years will pass by because "jobs must be created"....History will repeat itself as it did in many educated and free societies such as Germany in 1920-1930s. This system finally will be used by somebody who will bypass all the three sectors of power. You don't believe it? Just wait and see. Its human nature.
the biggest worry should anyway be, if someone like Snowden could get all this info ... what about a Chinese, Muslim hacker or someone political ... this program must be shut down ... too compromised
I absolutely agree with you.There are bunch of "Snowdens" loose out there with a "poll dancing girlfriend " who will betray. This system is dangerous and has severe potential for abuse. There is an old saying which said "Give me Liberty or death" If I am going to live like this with fear and give tax to somebody to watch me and progress that uninhibitedly to God knows what level , I rather die without out Liberty.
You're kidding me, right? He was motivated by Obama's false campaign promises? How old is this guy? Is it possible for someone to be so weak minded that they can get stuck on adoring someone to the point of "traitorism"? Anyway, the CIA or NSA or whoever needs to send Snowden to the afterlife very soon.
"It is fortunate to the government that the people do not think"
--HITLER in mid 1930s
To all the "He's is a traitor" types: for the very reason someone tries to abuse the Constitution, we need people like Mr Snowden to blow the wraps off. No security contract trumps the Constitution, sad as that might be to hear for the little Nazi / Stalin wanna-be's among us.
Why does everyone keep calling Snowden an "Obama lefty"? He didn't vote for the guy.
Americans are supposed to unite to attack China. Now this is not the time to look at what your Government is doing to you, but look at what is your Government is doing to Chinese.
I think his story is going through several changes. Will be interesting to hear what it is next week, and twenty years from now.
@Silly Willy - If you don't feel that Snowden's actions constitute treason could you give an example of what you would feel would be treason?
Or to put it another way, isn't the divulgence of any government secret which embarrasses the government treason? If the divulgence of a secret makes your enemies happy, or gives them a morale uplift, then isn't it treason to publicly share the secret?
One could argue that anything that makes it easier for your enemies to recruit more adherents is an attack on your own country, no matter how true or egregious that thing is.
@sniglet, ignore silly willy. silly willy is talking silly and should be dismissed.
How much evidence to liberals need to see before they realize that Obama is just another Bolchevik demagogue.
WSJ do not want people to debate?
Mr. Snowden sounds like a hubristic marplot! As for him being a traitor, his actions accommodate every definition in the dictionary of treason. Why is he revealing secrets about his country and now, even about the United Kingdom! What is in this dangerous mans head! What is the purpose of all these betrayals? I certainly do not believe his excuse about Obamas failure to fulfil promises. Can you clarify this situation a bit for me?
Quote by Snowden the same interview:
"Further, it's important to bear in mind I'm being called a traitor by men like former vice president Dick Cheney. This is a man who gave us the warrantless wiretapping scheme as a kind of atrocity warmup on the way to deceitfully engineering a conflict that has killed over 4,400 and maimed nearly 32,000 Americans, as well as leaving over 100,000 Iraqis dead. Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American, and the more panicked talk we hear from people like him, Feinstein, and King, the better off we all are. If they had taught a class on how to be the kind of citizen Dick Cheney worries about, I would have finished high school."

Dick Cheney is the criminal, Ed Snowden is the hero.
Cicero of ancient Romes best describes the sniveling traitor Edward Snowden: "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."
Snowden is not a spy. He's just someone who leaked classified information to the press. Although what he did may have violated US law it did not violate foreign law. So if he is prosecuted in the US, which appears likely, he should be eligible for political asylum in Hong Kong or wherever.
In Hong Kong, Snowden's computers and phones are easily tapped by Chinese intelligence. Any information he gives the authorities there is likely to be shared with Beijing. This is a real naive turncoat.
Mr. Snowden became a self righteous traitor when he leaked information on secret operations designed to gather intelligence on the Russian and Chinese governments. He is despicable. He puts our country in real jeopardy.
Did Snowden go to his superior before going to the Press. Why would a spy for China omit to it or China confirm he was or was not a spy. Is the NSA violating our civil rights? Looking for him to be a real patriot and come home for trail.
He is most likely a Chinese agent, or someone paid by the Chinese.
Edward Snowden is a good guy, a patriot, not something I can say about POTUS.
The more I hear from this guy, the more it amazes me that a jerk like this guy ever had access to this kind of information.
Snowden and "Bradass87" will be remembered as a couple of punk, millennial, narcissists whose greatest accomplishments made America less safe.
A traitor. Extradite him. Put him on trial. Give him the death penalty.
What a twit. Obama let him down so he runs off to Hong Kong and opens his mouth about national secrets. to say that this punk is "full of himself" is an understatement.
Identities of all posters on this page have been reported, all communications sourced from thier IP addresses are now recorded. Have a nice day
Every dog has its day, good riddance to this scum.
thank you Edward Snowden
You cannot compare him with Manning. Manning is a minority, Snowden is a white biggot.
U.S. officials have said some of his claims are overblown or misstated. Well of course! he's a part of the US Government.
I agree being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American!!!
If we have been weakened by Mr Snowden's revelations, how feeble we must have been prior to them.
Snowden represents what is often sorely missing in the United States and in Western countries: People with the conviction and courage to fight government wrongdoing;
Snowden's actions may see the OWS movement revived: An Occupy Wall Street movement and a simultaneous Occupy White House front. Both must be rigorously overhauled and made directly responsible to all the public rather than a select few. Viva democracy.
You gotta love how the political misinformation game is play. The misinformation strategists have slickly labeled this idiot part of the OWS crowd so that anger with him slickly also gets directed to OWS. Meanwhile, no officials of the OWS movement know anything about this clown. It's an age old move by the right - sacrifice one of your low level zealots to commit treason; in return, take care of him to see he is paid then expedited to an international safe haven where he can still hold scheduled internet rant sessions with the press; then finally see that the press describes him as a disgruntled allied of the other side - an Obama voter. The game is so effective, half of WSJ readers believe every word hook, line, and sinker.
These are the same folks who believe Jon Corzine was a Democrat, instead of what he was - a documented life long Republican, who after being forced out of his Goldman Sachs CEO job looked to politics as a way to remain influential. As a resident of blue state NJ, he calculated his best chance to win statewide office was to run as a Democrat. He quickly spread his millions around the state to remedy his absence of prior Democratic Party participation and support. In the end, his true allegiance was the same place it was when he was at Goldman Sachs - to Jon Corzine's bank account
Snowden summed Obama pretty well. All that said, he's like the typical stupid 20-30 year old that voted for Obama twice because they couldn't see through his B.S.

text: Matt from Baltimore writes: Dear Leslie, My partner and I made an offer on a home in Hopkinton. We were thrilled that, after a bit of back and forth, we were able to come to an agreement on the price. But today the listing agent told our agent that the seller wants to delay the closing until late December! We really love the house but that's a long time to wait. Is this common in your area? What's your advice?Dear Matt, That's wonderful that you found a home you love and were able to agree to a price. I haven't had a closing take that long before.If it were me I'd also want to have some insight into what's driving this request from the seller. Also, before agreeing to such a request, I'd recommend talking with your lender to see just how long they can lock your interest rate. If there's no way to lock the rate for that long, that's something you'll want to take into consideration when making your decision. For example, if the rate can be locked for that long for an additional fee, perhaps the seller can cover that additional cost.At what stage of negotiation are you? If the seller already signed the offer paperwork with a more standard closing date I don't know that they can insist on a delay, but you'll want to check with your attorney about this, just so you know what your rights are before opening up discussions. I'd then recommend having your buyer's agent talk with the listing agent to get to the bottom of why this delay has been requested. Perhaps it's something you can work out amicably. I do hope so!Have a question about buying or selling a home in the Boston suburbs? Drop me a line & I'd be glad to answer your confidential questions.

The evaluation of rookie quarterback EJ Manuel will continue during the final quarter of the Buffalo Bills' season.
- Filed Under
Welcome to the final quarter of the NFL schedule, which has become known as the evaluation phase of the Buffalo Bills season.
It's an annual occurrence at One Bills Drive, and it usually commences right around this time of the year when the Thanksgiving Day meal has been digested and the Christmas decorations have been hauled out of the basement.
The playoffs are no longer a possibility. Yes, coach Doug Marrone said they were earlier this week, but that's what he has to say until the final tenth of a percentage point chance is snuffed out. So these last four games are now a dress rehearsal for 2014. ...

My Discontented Heart
Crunch. The sound of my shoes echoes with each step. I look down at the leaves covering the forest floor. It's as though the trees have disrobed and blanketed the trail with their golden hued cloaks. As I walk, leaves continue to rain down around me. Wearing shades of yellow, red, and brown, they dance in the rays of light that shine across my path.
This is the place where I feel most alive. The air is crisp and cool but my hike up and down the mountain trail keeps me warm. Feeling like a child, I pick up the pace and race the kids down the path. I marvel at God's handiwork all around me, his glory awakening my dull senses. I think about how the autumnal transformation in the trees is really the revealing of their true colors. No longer producing food, they lose their verdant hue, uncovering the deep reds, bright yellows, and rustic orange shades that now dot the landscape.
I always thought I'd live in the mountains but instead I live by the sea. The disparity between the longings of my heart, of being where I feel most alive, and the place God has put me these past seventeen years is wide. Overtime my discontentment has grown and spread, breeding bitterness, selfishness, and anger. For my heart, discontentment has been like a slow leak, gradually draining me of joy and peace.
"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." "Bloom where you are planted." These proverbial statements are spoken to encourage us to make the best of what we have. It is certainly good advice, but it doesn't get at the source of true contentment. We can't just resolve to be content or "think happy thoughts" to dispel unhappy ones. Rather our contentment must be built on something more solid, more sure, and more lasting. Because the truth is, we are weak. Our resolve fades. The sin in our hearts leads us astray until we are right back where we started.
The Apostle Paul spoke about contentment in Philippians. "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength" (Philippians 4:11-13). For Paul, Christ was the source of his contentment. He knew that to live was Christ and to die was gain (Philippians 1:21).
The truths of gospel, of who he was because of Christ's perfect life, sacrificial death, and resurrection, were the foundation on which he stood. Paul knew that whether he lived with plenty or didn't know where his next meal came from, he was secure in Christ. Because the Spirit of Christ lived in him, he had all he needed. In every situation, the Spirit strengthened him to face trials and tribulations. His security, joy, purpose, and satisfaction was in Christ, not his circumstances. This is the secret to contentment–not lemonade or blooming flowers or happy thoughts.
My discontentment comes from the same place as that of the discontent of the desert-wandering Israelites. My heart has turned away from its true love. I've attempted to fulfill my soul-thirst with something other than the pure living water that Christ died to give me. I'm focused on the comforts and cares of this life and not the one to come. I've failed to remember all that God did to deliver me from slavery and instead of living a life of gratitude, my heart only grumbles and complains.
Scripture points me to the way of true and lasting contentment. Psalm 37:4 says "Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." When Christ is my delight and my source of joy, it changes the trajectory of my heart. What Christ wants, I want. Instead of looking at what I don't have, my heart rejoices in all that I do have because of and through him. Love and gratitude transforms my desires so that they revolve around him and what pleases him. And like, Paul, no matter the circumstances, my well of contentment is deep and overflowing, for it flows freely from its source in Christ himself.
God places us in circumstances and situations that we often don't understand. Sometimes he doesn't give us what we want because he knows what we really need is not a change in situation but more of him. The more we grow to depend and trust in him, the more we find our joy in knowing him, and the more we seek him above all else, the more we will appreciate the manna he provides. Our grumbles will cease. Rather than complain about the challenges of life, we'll look to Christ for contentment, security, and peace. All our desert wanderings will create in us a longing not for the slavery of the past but the glory of forever rest found in the Promised Land.
As I consider the beauty of the trees in autumn, my heart longs to bring my Creator glory in how I live. When seasons of winter lie before me, I want to reflect the radiance of Christ. Like the trees in fall, I want to live out my calling in submissive and joyful obedience. I want to find my contentment in being a redeemed daughter of the King, not in my circumstances, dreams, or plans. Will I ever move to the mountains? I don't know. But I do know that not being where I long to be is a reminder of how this world is not my home. My true, forever home still awaits. And as long as Christ remains the joy and treasure of my heart, I will be content wherever I am because he is with me.
"One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple." Psalm 27:4
How about you? Has discontent drained your heart of joy?

Hi Christina…enjoyed this… I just spoke to r Engedi group about contentment! Shared many of the same ideas and scriptures!Reply
I struggle with what looking to Jesus looks like practically when going through big life changes you don't like. You still have to spend your time doing something instead of lying around on the couch like I have been doing. I have about 5 major changes at once – empty nest and husband retiring early are just two. I feel no purpose like I used to with busy household. How do I stay content while waiting for God to show me what is next?Reply
Loved this! Thanks for such awesome encouragement!Reply
Oh, I love this so much! This fall, the boys and I studied how the trees came to be dressed in such vibrant garb! I'm embarrassed to admit that I never knew the leaves were always wearing fall hues. I learned along with my boys that in spring and summer the leaves are merely 'cloaked' in green. But it's the perfect picture you describe with regards to the true colors of our hearts. "We can't just resolve to be content or "think happy thoughts" to dispel unhappy ones. Rather our contentment must be built on something more solid, more sure, and more lasting." Thanks for the beautiful reminder, friend!Reply
Thank you for the encouragement! Just today I was feeling discontented, mainly because I feel like I am constantly falling short in my mothering and homeschooling responsibilities. I have three girls, 7, 5, and a very rambunctious 1, and a boy due in April! It's easy for me to get discouraged and think "if I can't do this right with three, how am I going to with four?" BUT – your post provided truth to me tonight. Where are my eyes focusing? On my circumstances and shortcomings, or on Jesus who is the first to say to me that he is not looking for perfection from me, but a willing and humble heart that can show my kids a godly example of mercy and forgiveness and patience.
Dear Lord, for all of us mothers struggling with discontentment, may *You* become to us our one pure and holy passion and one magnificent obsession!! You are all we truly need.Reply
With my kids all gone from home, and struggling to figure out where my place is, I appreciated this.Reply

Basically my situation is that I don't have enough USB cables. My computer has 4 running to the front of the car, two of them are used for the touchscreen and the GPS reciever, which obviously leaves me with two USB cables. These two I just ran to my center console, where I plan to mount my DVD drive and keyboard, and possibly split one with a hub so I can also have a spare port to plug my USB drive keychain into for transferring stuff.
Here's my problem... The DVD drive requires 2 USB cables, one is just a USB cable, and one is the power for the drive. I've hooked it up and it works fine, but that leaves me with no extra USB for my keyboard and keychain drive.
My question is will a USB hub, just a standard USB in, 3 or 4 USB out, be enough to power my DVD drive?
I was kind of thinking that I could buy one hub with 3 or 4 outputs, and then use one USB cable with no hub to power the DVD drive, and then plug the keyboard and the regular USB cable from the DVD drive to the hub on the other cable. That would even leave me an extra port for my keychain drive.
Would this work?

Hey all
I've been way off plan now for nearly 2 years, but purchased the new pack last January with the plan of starting again, which I didn't.
After so long off plan I've decided its time to get my butt back into gear and rejoin online. However, before I fork out for the full 3 month package of membership, magazines and new pack, I just wanted to find out when the latest pack came out. I'm guessing there will have been a new one since last January but don't want to waste money if not!
Thanks in advance

Teetotaler Senator Arrested on DUI Charges View Count: 146
It might not have been so much of an eyebrow-raiser, unless you knew that Idaho Senator Michael Crapo, a devout Mormon and a bishop by the age of 31, and an attorney who graduated from Brigham Young University, and Harvard Law School, had affirmed in past interviews with the Associated Press that he abstains from alcohol.
The twice-reelected Republican Senator was arrested on Sunday in a Washington D.C. suburb, after ignoring a red light and testing for a blood alcohol content of 0.110, reports USA Today. In Virginia, the legal limit for blood alcohol level while driving a vehicle is 0.08.
Police spokesman Craig T. Fifer said that an officer on routine patrol reported Crapo's vehicle ignore a red light. The vehicle was stopped without incident at Hume Avenue at 12.45 a.m. Crapo failed several field sobriety tests and was taken into custody with full cooperation. He was released from Alexandria jail by 5 a.m. on an unsecured bond of $1,000. He will be appearing in court in relation with the charges on January 4.
In a statement made on Sunday night, Crapo, 61, said, "I am deeply sorry for the actions that resulted in this circumstance … I made a mistake for which I apologize to my family, my Idaho constituents and any others who have put their trust in me. I accept total responsibility and will deal with whatever penalty comes my way in this matter. I will also undertake measures to ensure that this circumstance is never repeated."
Crapo was part of a bipartisan group of senators dubbed the "Gang of Eight" who were trying to work on a budget deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff." He is known in the Congress for his strongly conservative views on all things. Currently he serves on the Senate's budget and finance panels.Teetotaler Senator Arrested on DUI Charges by Scott

Running Evolution's founder Beth Baker was not born a runner. Like many of us, she picked the habit up as an adult, although it wasn't an easy task for her. She fought her way through a number of setbacks before finally getting over the hump and running her first marathon. After that success, she found herself fielding questions from her friends on how she did it and how she could help them do it, too. They didn't all want to run marathons, but they all wanted to run.
She discovered that she loved coaching beginning runners and set out to turn it from a hobby into a career. She started out as a coach with Seattle Fit and soon branched out on her own when Title Nine asked her to lead a women's running group from their Seattle store. The rest, as they say, was history. The exposure that the Title Nine group gave her jump-started Beth's business and turned Running Evolution into a full-time job.
Beth firmly believes that running should be fun, not scary or intimidating, which is why her groups are focused on the social aspect of running. Everyone is there to have a good time and there's absolutely no judging or negativity allowed. Thanks to this positive and supportive environment, most people will stick with the program once they get started and many even discover that they love running. For this reason, Beth calls her Couch to 5K program the "gateway drug."
In addition to the Couch to 5K groups (which are often scheduled to line up with local races), Beth also offers weekly club runs and half-marathon training programs. Her groups aren't filled with super-competitive runners, but she still has a speedwork class because sometimes it's just fun to go out and run really, really fast. While her groups focus on supporting women runners, boys are 100% allowed. She frequently sees husbands join up with their wives and encourages them to set a healthy example for their family.
Running Evolution is, at its heart, less about running and more about people. Beth has formed a community of runners with her groups, and she has women that were in her very first class 5 years ago and still come to run with her every week. They've become fast friends through those weekly runs and have supported each other through thick and thin during that time.
If you're looking for a group to run with, check out Running Evolution's schedule. Beth and her co-coach Ben offer both Couch-to-5k programs and weekly club runs in Seattle and Bellevue. To keep up with the latest additions to the schedule, you can follow Beth on Twitter or find her on Facebook. She also offers stroller jogging classes for new moms through Mommy Caravan.

Behind the Curtain
January 7, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
New paintings by Mamma Andersson.
Mamma Andersson's new exhibition "Behind the Curtain" opens tomorrow at David Zwirner. Andersson, who was born in Sweden and lives in Stockholm, paints with a muted palette—she tends to draw from old photographs and films, theater sets, and well-preserved interiors. There's a look-but-don't-touch quality to her subjects, as if she's visited some quiet museum, or snuck backstage, and has decided to flout the no-photography policy by simply painting the view instead. And so what should feel aloof or antiquated feels intimate, almost even illicit. These are things we're used to seeing at a remove or covered in dust: busts, stays, thrones. Looking at her paintings reminds me of that voguish phrase, secret history, that's cropped up in dozens of titles and subtitles lately.
"All of us who've become artists, musicians, poets, dancers, film directors—God knows what—we were all once children who loved to delve into our other ego, where anarchy and limitlessness reigns," she told BOMB in 2007: "If (healthy) schizophrenia can keep capitalism at bay, maybe we all should be much more schizophrenic than we are. I think it's nice to be muddled."
"Behind the Curtain" is at David Zwirner through February 14. Read More »
Our Globe-trotting Winners
September 9, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
Last month's #ReadEverywhere contest was a great success.

A City of Phone Lines, and Other News
September 3, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
- A previously unpublished chapter of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory—once "deemed too wild, subversive and insufficiently moral for the tender minds of British children"—is now available for your delectation. It features a jaunt into Wonka's Vanilla Fudge Room, where many wonders and precariously situated heavy machinery await. (Not an OSHA-compliant workplace, that chocolate factory.)
- Get Carter, Ted Lewis's 1970 crime novel, has just been reissued: "As far as classic hard-boiled fiction, Get Carter is sui generis, the place where British noir begins … there is no attempt to soften or sugarcoat … It is also, as the best noir always is, highly moral, although its morality is individual and distinct. What is important to us?, the book ponders. What do we need—are we willing—to sacrifice?"
- In praise of brevity in fiction: "shorter novels can often be a distillation of everything an author does best—which, in some cases, can spare you quite a lot of their more exacting or punishing work."
- "In the late 19th century, shortly after the patent of the telephone, the race was on to connect everyone to the phone grid … In Stockholm, Sweden, the central telephone exchange was the Telefontornet, a giant tower designed around 1890 that connected some 5,000 lines which sprawled in every direction across the city. Just by looking at historical photos it's easy to recognize the absurdity and danger of the whole endeavor … Everything that could possibly go wrong did."
- Revisiting "latitudes of acceptance," a social judgment theory from the sixties: "We all have these latitudes around our beliefs, our values, our attitudes, which teams are ok to root for, and so on, and these bubbles move. They flex. When you're drunk, or when you've had a good meal, or when you're with people you care about versus strangers, these bubbles flex and move in different ways. Getting two groups to work together is about trying to get them to a place where their bubbles overlap, not their ideas, not their beliefs, but the bubbles that surround their ideas."
Strindberg's Landscapes
May 14, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
Fact: August Strindberg could paint. Though he was always more renowned for his plays and novels, he was a prolific artist, producing more than one hundred works over the course of his life. In their brooding expressionism, his paintings were every inch as forward-thinking as his contemporaries—he counted Gauguin and Munch among his friends—and his work received enough notice that in 1894 he published an essay on his methods in a Parisian journal.
Strindberg, who died today in 1912, had an array of interests: at various points, he turned to painting, photography, telegraphy, theosophy, alchemy, and Swedenborgianism, a sect of Christianity that denied the Holy Trinity. The plenitude of his hobbies made him, depending on whom you asked, a polymath, a dilettante, or an insane person.
Strindberg tended to paint only in times of grave crisis, when he found himself too distraught to write. Maybe accordingly his landscapes are seldom sylvan, his seascapes seldom serene, and his skies seldom sunny. In 2001, Cabinet published a well-observed essay by Douglas Feuk about Strindberg's vatic art:
In his paintings there is always a "motif"—often stormy skies, agitated waves, perhaps a lonely rock by the sea. But these landscapes or seascapes are still half-embedded in the material, like a world in the process of being created. Boundaries and differences are fluid: Air might have the same density as stone, and the rock seems mysteriously fused with the water—as if they were all but different manifestations of the same matter. In fact, the tactile surface in Strindberg's paintings is at times emphasized so much that not only does it provide an image of nature, it also, in part, gives the impression of being nature. In the painting High Sea, for example, there are sections that Strindberg has blackened with a burner, but also patches of a brownish-gray, rough structure that seem to be not so much painted as oxidized, or in other ways created by some elementary process of nature.
What We're Loving: Oology, Impostors, Sweden
July 26, 2013 | by The Paris Review
Julian Rubinstein's "Operation Easter," in last week's New Yorker, has been my breakfast reading and dinner conversation most of this week. Concerned with the obsession for collecting birds' eggs—a mania that dates back almost to the mid-nineteenth century—the article relates lurid tales of collectors falling off cliffs in pursuit of nests, hiding amassed collections in secret compartments in their beds, and donning guises to steal eggs from a museum (the party in question pinched ten thousand eggs in some three years). When investigators from the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds apprehend a suspect in his apartment, the man tells them, "Thank God you've come … I can't stop." With investigators jumping into cars, busting down doors, and engaging in two-day island-wide manhunts, this article reads more than a little like a thriller. I'd love to see Gary Oldman in a starring role when it hits the big screen. —Nicole Rudick
I can't help seconding Sadie's recommendation of In Love, a novella by Alfred Hayes that has just been reissued by New York Review Classics. The story of a casual love affair that becomes serious as soon it starts to fall apart, In Love harks back to a classic French tradition—what you might call the Novel of Disillusionment—perfected over a century by Constant, Flaubert, Turgenev, and Proust, among others. At the same time, in its use of one-sided dialogue, its film noir sensibility, and its evocation of New York life, this 1953 masterpiece also seems utterly modern—a culmination and a book utterly at home in its moment. —Lorin Stein
This month I had a particularly blue moment. I returned to an old favorite, Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye , and then immediately afterward read Maggie Nelson's Bluets, a book that had been recommended to me several times by fellow students and professors alike. It would be difficult for me to state, with confidence, what exactly Bluets is about. The book-length essay is written in vignettes, each numbered and varying in length. Nelson begins with a captivating proposition: "Suppose I were to begin by saying that I had fallen in love with a color." Something that began as "[a]n appreciation, an affinity" became something "more serious" and then "it became somehow personal." I drifted easily into Nelson's world of blue, in which she seamlessly strings together personal narratives, quotes, and facts, each poignant sketch its own bluish jewel. —Jo Stewart Read More »
Stieg's Stockholm
July 28, 2011 | by Elisabeth Donnelly
This spring, exiting the Stockholm-Arlanda airport, I found myself in a hall which enthusiastically proclaimed, "Welcome to Sweden!" From its walls, huge portraits of the country's greatest cultural exports greeted me, head shot after head shot. There were actors and directors (Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Ingmar Bergman), austere portraits of authors (Astrid Lindgren, August Strindberg), and, in 1970s color, ABBA under disco lights, and Bjorn Borg, whacking a tennis ball. At the end of this procession, as if its grand finale, was a full-body photograph of Stieg Larsson. His head rested on his hand, in a position not unlike that of Rodin's thinker. It's a familiar photograph, the same one that appears on the back of each of his books: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.
The Millennium trilogy, as the three are called, has sold more than fifty-one million copies worldwide. Larsson, who died in 2004 of a heart attack, at the age of fifty, never saw the success of his fiction, which he wrote mostly on the side. For him, the books were "like therapy," his partner Eva Gabrielsson writes in her memoir 'There Are Things I Want You to Know' About Stieg Larsson and Me. Read More »

In an effort to set the record straight for the many summer visitors to Cape Cod and to settle once and for all the vast amounts of misinformation that gets bandied about at this time of the year, I have compiled the Truth for our beloved visitors:
- There are only 29 ponds on Cape Cod. But there are 365 speed traps, one for each day of the year.
- The town of Sandwich was named not for the Earl of Sandwich, nor for the English town of Sandwich. It is a form of the Native American word "Sahan-witts," which means "high taxes."
- The small printed inserts in bottles of Ambien are pages from The Outermost House by someone whose name I've forgotten.
- The best moonshine can be purchased just about anywhere in Marstons Mills where "Dueling Banjos" is played nonstop over town-owned speakers, thanks to a grant from The Li'l Abner Foundation.
- Osterville was not originally named Oysterville. It is named for Oster, the inventor of the blender, because of the wonderful blend of rich and very rich people who live there.
- The numerous changes from one lane to two and back again on Route 28 were designed at the behest of the Cape Cod Body Shop Owners Club. They were also instrumental in the design of the Hyannis Airport Rotary, formerly known as the Circle of Stress.
- The shape of Cape Cod approximates an upraised arm and fist. If climatologists are correct, it will soon approximate an upraised middle finger.
- Downtown Truro does not exist. People live there. No they don't.
- Eastham is not pronounced East'm as you might expect; it is pronounced East Ham in honor of the easternmost community theater group that operated in the town for nearly three years. When they tried to relocate farther out, Chat'm would have none of it.
- Iyannough, Wianno, Hyannis and several other similar names all rhyme with Uranus and they all are the names of the same Native American chief.
- Only four people on Cape Cod can spell "quaohog;" only three can pronounce it. None of them would eat one.
- There are no great white sharks off Chatham; town officials have passed a zoning ordinance forbidding them.
- No one who lives on Cape Cod refers to Provincetown as "P-Town;" they try not to refer to it at all.
- Despite what real estate agents say, people who live south of Route 28 and north of Route 6A are almost like everyone else on the Cape.
- To honor all the Native Americans that the Puritans and early settlers on the Cape slaughtered, there are several towns, shopping centers and streets named after them.
- Cape Cod is not named after the once ubiquitous fish; it is named for Martha Codd, the owner of the most successful brothel in 18th-century Boston, who relocated to the Cape after buying most of it. She lived on a nice island nearby, named in honor of the tasty grapes she grew.
- Most year-round residents of the Cape adore the tourists. It's their wives, husbands and children they cannot tolerate.

Panasonic to demo a 20-inch slate with 4K OLED display at IFA '13
Posted by Digital-101.com at 8/30/2013 12:18:00 AM
As you may guess, the 4K OLED screen will be the best selling point of the yet-to-be-announced device. The display is printed and although it offers a 3,860x2,560 pixel resolution, the Windows 8 tablet PC will be marketed as 4K (3,860x2,160). Hardware wise, it will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 or NVIDIA Tegra 4 chipset.

I disliked the original LoS because it was just a mediocre action game with an above average story. Can't fault trying something different but when it is a rather large step backwards it seems a shame to carry on in that direction.
However, I am hopeful they can improve matters with a sequel because the developers seem to care about the Castlevania series.

Port Ellen 9th release (1979)
Tasting notes by Ruben Luyten - Posted in Port Ellen
The Port Ellen 9th annual release is probably one of the most anticipated bottlings of the yearly Diageo special releases. This is the first official 30 years old Port Ellen. While some shops have already sold their complete allocation, you can still find some bottles. I've compared it to the 6th and 7th release (which will be posted in the near future).
Port Ellen 9th release 30yo 1979
(57,7%, OB 2009, 5916 btl.)
Nose: seems a bit more modest than most previous bottlings. The peat influence is rather soft and coated in a honeyed sweetness. Dried fruits and pears. More medicinal (antisepctic) and maritime notes than other official PE's. Slightly mentholated and grassy. Lemons and a touch of vanilla. Almond. A confident 30yo gentleman really. Mouth: coating mouth-feel, sweet delivery with a coal smoke centre. Soon the spices kick in (pepper, nutmeg) and it gets drier. Hints of lemon biscuits and salty liquorice. Powerful and balanced. Finish: long, fading on smoke, spices and liquorice.
After an 8th release with seamingly disappointed comments, this is a rewarding high-class dram. Especially the nose is excellent. Around € 260.
Score: 92/100

Food Pantry Network of Licking County driver Jim Hutchinson unloads a donation from Wilson Middle School. The school donated about 566 pounds of food to the food pantry.
- Filed Under
While some of the region's food pantries might be struggling this time of year, the Food Pantry Network of Licking County is doing well.
"We actually have a good bit of food in the warehouse right now," said Chuck Moore, executive director of The Food Pantry Network of Licking County. "We're in a good position."
Moore said the WCLT T-100 "Fill the Big Rig" food donation marathon from Dec. 20 to 21 is one of the reasons the pantry is in such a good position. The marathon supplied the pantry with more than 10,500 pounds of food, according to a previous Advocate article. ...
