I've found out over the last couple of days just how difficult it is to photograph Bees.
This is my best attempt after goodness knows how many shots!
I was undecided as to whether this would be better as a square crop, and I'd appreciate any opinions. I'm waiting for the opportunity to get some better shots in brighter light when I can use a faster shutter speed to freeze the movement of the wings.
Please let me know what you think - is this shot any good?

Nothing wrong with this shot, and good advice from PinKK, also I would have cropped it slightly more on the right of the Bee, about half of what is there, one third to two thirds works well, balance it out more and showing the hazy flower in the background, make a copy and try it out see what you think, regards Leon.

A really beautiful photograph depicting this rather gorgeous Honey Bee going out to urn a Crust in order to pay for his 'Stottie Cakes', so expertly captured, crammed packed full of natural colours and fantastic detail.
Regards Nathan
Nominating Constructive Critique
I think your image is very good but a crop probably would help focus
on the subject.
I've uploaded a modification which you can judge for yourself.
I've tweaked the levels as histogramwhich didn't cover full tonal range.
A bit of extra contrast, bit of sharpening but it was quite sharp already
so well done.
I'll leave the settings to somebody with more experience than me.
Nominating Constructive Critique
It's already a good shot and Kate's mod. takes it slightly further. That's the crop that I would have used.
Well done,
Nominating Constructive Critique
Yes, that's much better, well done Kate.
You have done well here, Elaine, practice makes perfect, and, as you say, it's not easy.
I am pleased that you already felt it needed a crop. You were right. Just decide where your subject is looking or facing, or about to fly into, and that will be the area that needs the extra space, not behind it. Sometimes it's difficult to decide, so a square crop works best, equal space either side. This makes the shot more compositionally pleasing and it also helps guide the viewers eye through the image, in the direction your subject is looking. The space also gives the viewer a chance to wonder what is outside of the frame and where the subject will be headed next.
Understanding the rules helps you get a better picture. But the idea is to get to the stage that you do some of these things instinctively, and that's when you start to move away from the rules and become creative!
Sometimes an image can be improved with a little more consideration to the framing of the main subject, as if there's too much space surrounding it the emphasis can be lost. Try to get the framing right in-camera, especially if you want to produce dramatic photos and make the most of your frame.
You can often produce a more interesting image by placing the main subject somewhere other than the center of the image. Generally, pictures with subjects directly in the center tend to be more static and less interesting than pictures with off-center subject placement.

I think you have done exceptionally well here. I've tried bees before but ended giving up!

NEW YORK (AP) - Many churches, synagogues, governments and
ordinary citizens are turning to technology to protect their holiday displays from pranks or prejudice.
About 70 churches and synagogues have jumped at a New York
security company's offer of free use of GPS systems and hidden
cameras this month to guard their mangers and menorahs.
Then, if Baby Jesus is stolen from a Nativity scene, the figure can be located and recovered; or if someone defaces a menorah, a security camera's recording can help identify the vandals.
BrickHouse Security is offering up to 200 nonprofit religious institutions a free month's use of the security cameras and LightningGPS products it distributes.
The Web site for the offer says, "LightningGPS strikes down sinners."

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) Officials say a suspect is in custody after a person was shot at a college in Georgia.
Richmond County sheriff's officials say in a news release that one person was shot at Paine College in Augusta. The shooting Monday prompted a lockdown at Paine and several nearby campuses, including Georgia Regents University.
Georgia Regents University says on its Facebook page that a suspect is in custody and that the lockdown has been lifted for its campuses.
Paine Spokeswoman Tonya Williams says the lockdown is still in place at that school. Paine is a private school with just more than 800 students about 140 miles east of Atlanta.
The condition of the person shot at Paine was not immediately clear. The shooting came a day after another on Paine's campus, though it was not known if the two were related.

Police search for attempted burglary suspects, ask for public's help
June 10, 2015
NEW — 9:11 a.m. June 10, 2015
Issaquah police are asking for the public's help in finding two men who broke into a home early June 10.
The suspects entered the home in the 100 block of Sixth Avenue Southeast through an open door at about 4:30 a.m. The men fled when confronted by the homeowner, according to a news release.
Officers arrived, and with the assistance of a Bellevue Police Department dog, searched for the suspects, but did not locate them.
Speed cameras coming to Sunset Elementary School
January 30, 2015
NEW — 6 a.m. Jan. 30, 2015
Drivers traveling beside Sunset Elementary School would do well to watch their speeds, after the Bellevue Police Department announced it is installing a speed-zone camera system.
The school-zone speed camera will catch speeders — even if no officers are around to ticket violators. The speed limit in a school zone is 20 mph.
The camera will be at 4400 W. Lake Sammamish Parkway S.E. in the southbound direction only. The placement was determined based on accident and speed data from the location.
Photo enforcement infractions result in a $124 fine. Infractions issued by photo are not moving violations and will not appear on an offender's driving record. Read more

October 7, 2014
Police are asking for the public's help in identifying a man believed to have robbed banks in Issaquah, Newcastle and Bellevue.

Seattle task force seeks Summertime Heat Robber

All three robberies were of the KeyBank, 405 N.W. Gilman Blvd.

The subject hit the same bank three times in the past six months but at different times in the middle of the day.

Issaquah, Bellevue police nab woman for prostitution
July 2, 2013
After many local residents raised eyebrows about its advertising, a police investigation led to a prostitution arrest June 27 at a massage parlor in the 1700 block of Newport Way Northwest.
Police said they were alerted to the possibility of nefarious business practices when signs were seen along the street marketing "Asian Girl Massage." Issaquah officers began working with the Bellevue Police Department.
"Basically, we started the investigation when we received some complaints about how the business was advertising," Issaquah Police Cmdr. Scott Behrbaum said. "We utilized some of the resources from the sheriff's department and a detective from Bellevue. They were not investigating our location, but they did have a location that had some similarities."

Willie Revillame interviews a six-year-old contestant during the March 12 episode of Willing Willie. This particular segment of the TV5 variety primetime program prompted varied reactions from viewers who perceived it as no less than "child abuse."Photo: Screen grab from YouTube
The small boy carried a blank face when he was called to the microphone. This prompted Willie to call Bonel Balingit, a formal basketball player, from the audience. The tall Bonel then stood beside the short Jan-Jan while Willie said, "Ano Jan? Suntukan, gusto mo? Parang naghahamon ka ng away!"
Willie then laughed and asked a high-five from the kid, which Jan-Jan gave easily.
Willie then permitted Jan-Jan to say his greetings. What the kid said elicited huge laughs from Willie and the audience. The kid, however, did not laugh. His face remained as it was-serious, with a tinge of sadness.
Jan-Jan said, "Binabati ko si Papa ko, may parlor! Tsaka si Mama, may birthday!"
Willie asked, "Yung tatay mo may ano?"
Jan-Jan replied, "Parlor."
Jan-Jan looked confused when his answer produced huge laughs again from Willie and the audience. Willie then asked him, "Bakit may parlor ang tatay mo? Ano siya?"
Jan-Jan replied, "Kasi para hanapbuhay."
Willie stopped laughing, softened up, and asked, "Anong ginagawa niya sa parlor?"
Jan-Jan said, "Gugupit."
Willie, still soft on the boy, asked, "Siya ba naggupit sa 'yo?"
Jan-Jan said yes.
Willie then asked him who his favorite singer was, to which the kid replied, "Di po ako kakanta." Jan-Jan smiled a little when this answer led the audience to laugh again.
Jan-Jan then introduced his aunt, Jocelyn, who accompanied him to the studio. He told Willie that his mother could not come to the set because she just gave birth.
Jan-Jan's Tita Jocelyn, all excited, then asked Willie for a hug. "Kuya Willie, may request. Puwede ba kita mayakap?"

Medical student opens heart to isle students
Molly J. Dannenmaier
Everyone knows that medical students are some of the busiest people in the world.
That's why it is amazing when you learn how much time UTMB third-year medical student Greg Valentine has consistently devoted to community service projects since he arrived in Galveston three years ago, just before Hurricane Ike. On top of all his classes, studies and clinical responsibilities, he rarely spends less than 20 hours a week on community service.

In 2009, Valentine, a passionate community organizer, was named an Unsung Hero by the Galveston County Daily News--in part for his volunteer work in the wake of Hurricane Ike--and in part for founding the Hands and Feet Medical Mission, a program that sends teams of medical students every other month to the Texas/Mexico border to offer free medical services to indigent patients.
And those are only a couple of his volunteer projects.
Last year he was named one of
UTMB Health's Osler Student Scholars
, and awarded a $10,000 per year scholarship for the second, third, and fourth years of medical school. The Osler program stresses the importance for medical professionals of the ideals of community service, humility, empathy and academic excellence.
Even as he continued to spearhead Hands and Feet, this past September Valentine launched yet another full-blown new community initiative—the Sir William Osler Name That Book Competition for third- and fourth-grade GISD students.
The program has challenged students from Oppe, Parker, Early Childhood University and Morgan elementary schools to compete with each other as experts on the content of 35 select books.
Every week since September, Valentine has dispatched teams of
UTMB Osler Society
medical students to each of the four participating elementary schools to tutor and mentor the children in preparation for a culminating event—a Jeopardy-like competition that pits teams from each school against each other to determine which school has amassed the most literary expertise over its five months of participation in the Valentine reading project.

"This program has been a fantastic push for my students to experience books they never would have chosen to read on their own," says Patricia McAllister, a fourth-grade teacher at Oppe School whose class is participating in the reading program.
But just as valuable as the academic challenge are the human connections that have formed between med students and elementary students.
"Having you guys come and help us is what I like the best," BenClore, an Oppe fourth grader, told the medical students.
"This is my favorite thing that I do," said medical student Tasia Newton. "The kids get so excited it warms my heart. This is my perfect study break. I am so glad that Greg came up with this program."
Valentine is committed to the idea of changing children's lives. Even before he arrived at UTMB Health, he became involved with the Fundatia Broken Heart Orphanage in Bucharest, Romania as a side venture during an undergraduate study abroad trip. He continues to make yearly mission visits to the orphanage and maintains ongoing telephone and email mentoring contact.
The new reading project with children in Galveston "has just helped reinforce and reaffirm that pediatrics is the field for me," said Valentine.
"Greg is a very idealistic young man who wants to make a difference in the lives of the communities where he works," said Dr. Patricia Beach, an Osler Faculty Scholar who helped Valentine develop the Galveston reading program.
Beach, along with numerous other UTMB Health faculty members, offered not only advice, but financial support from her endowment for Valentine's reading program.
Valentine raised more than $3,000 from numerous different Osler Society and Scholar sources to purchase books, teaching supplies, contest incentives, and other materials to bring his program to life. He worked with fellow med student Sean Paschall to organize the reading program with the goal that Paschall, a Blackwell Osler Society member, take over as the leader of the program next year.
"This is not just a one-time thing," said Valentine, "We're putting a system in place to insure this reading competition will keep on going year after year."
"Greg is one of the students who has a deep and abiding interest in making the world a better place," said Cheryl Vaiani, assistant professor of medical ethics in the Institute for Medical Humanities and fellow Schweitzer Society member with Valentine.
His latest award is the
2011 American Medical Association Foundation Excellence in Medicine Leadership Award
; he was chosen as one of the top 24 medical students in the nation who "exemplify the medical profession's highest values: commitment to service, community involvement, altruism, leadership and dedication to patient care."
"He is a great example of the medical professional of the future," said Vaiani.

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
I was transfered from Socal to here up North back in Dec 09 by my great employer. I would like to meet new friends to get out and do fun stuff with. I enjoy dancing, hiking and movies at home or at a theater. I love going spur of the moment to an amusement park. Why couldn't have Walt seen the importance of a Northern Disneyland, well I guess a cheap Jetblue flight can help with that inconvenience. I am an even keeled individual that wears her heart on her sleeve for family, friends, lovers. I am honest & very confident, but not arrogant. I love to laugh, make others laugh & can even stand being the one laughed at. I am not much of a drinker, but can have a lot of fun none the less and I don't smoke. I prefer my baggage to be carry on opposed to the past or present relationships. I have very little drama going on in my life which is just the way I like it. I say very little because we are not excluded from life's little dramas which are ok and workable.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Living it!
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Eating someone elses home cooked meals. Listening & being attentive, loyalty, making others laugh. Not taking myself too seriously.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Smile, and my positive attitude.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
The last books I've read were Jeanette Walls Half Broke Horses and The Glass Castle. John Grisholm and true crime stories and autobiographies are my favorite readings. I enjoy scary movies & drama, love comedy. I even will watch a foreign film with subtitles. I listen to different kinds of music from country to rock to opera, and I definitely love the Blues. My favorite food is Italian and will try a variety of different ethnic foods.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
positive outlook
stars at night
fun adventure
good music
Had the question asked,"whom could I never do without", some very deserving people would have definately made the list instead of things.

On a typical Friday night I am

I have some Fridays off, but for the most part I am unfortunately working.

Intel rolls out 25nm SSD 320 drives with 600GB, price drops
updated 12:35 pm EDT, Mon March 28, 2011
Intel SSD 320 goes to 25nm with 600GB option
Intel upgraded its mainstream SSDs in large fashion on Monday through the SSD 320. Its direct replacement for the X25-M is built on a new, dense 25 nanometer process that ups both the capacity and the speed. Drives can now store as much as 600GB and sustain as much as 270MB per second in read speeds or 220MB per second for writes.
Some extra safeguards are also in place to reassure those worried about the switch to SSD, Intel said. An SSD 320 now caches incoming data writes if it has to suddenly shut down, and a grid of extra flash chips will automatically kick in if chips in the main storage array fail.
All of the drives support up to SATA II (3Gbps) speeds. Intel is shipping 2.5-inch versions in 40GB, 80GB, 120GB, 160GB, 300GB, and 600GB capacities at bulk prices that start lower than for the X25-M, coming in at $89 for the 40GB drive and peaking at $1,069 for the 600GB storage. Those with some ultraportables, netbooks, and blade servers can also get 1.8-inch versions in 80GB, 160GB, and 300GB levels for what's likely to be the same prices. Amazon, Best Buy, Fry's, and Newegg are all carrying the drive in stores.

Climate Protection
A prosperous and sustainable future for Oregon depends on a healthy, stable climate. Oregon Environmental Council works directly with businesses, elected officials and community leaders across the state to take real and immediate action to curb the biggest driver of climate change: carbon pollution and other greenhouse gases. By working now for lasting solutions, OEC helps protect the state against the costly and dangerous effects of extreme weather and air pollution while helping to build a strong clean energy economy for us all.
Take Action now:
Everything in our lives depends on the climate around us, from food production to water supplies to our health. But our climate is changing and the impacts are appearing across Oregon: extreme weather leading to droughts, floods, and wildfires while changes to our ocean are threatening our oysters and shellfish.
OEC is acting now to reduce carbon pollution and keep global warming from taking away what makes Oregon a great place to live and work. We are working to cut pollution by transitioning to cleaner energy, cleaner fuels, and climate friendly transportation options. The result is cleaner air, a stronger economy, more jobs and healthier, more vibrant communities.

Pilot strike to halt Mango AirlinesComment on this story
Johannesburg - Low-cost airline Mango has been issued with a strike notice by labour union Solidarity after wage negotiations reached a deadlock, the union said on Friday.
"Solidarity will now meet with its members to decide on a way forward. The trade union wants to try to avoid a strike," spokesman Marius Croucamp said in a statement.
The dispute arose from a 2011 agreement where Mango gave a written undertaking to bring its pilots' pay in line with that of other low-cost carriers (LCC) by 2014.
The strike notice was issued on Wednesday.
Mango confirmed on Friday that it had received Solidarity's notice.
"The union proffers that its application follows a deadlock in negotiations, despite Mango fully complying with the existing salary agreements with the pilot body, reached in 2011 and 2012," airline spokesman Hein Kaizer said in a statement.
This was among other agreements to bring Mango's pilot salaries in line with those of other domestic LCCs over a three-year period, by the end of 2014.
"Mango salaries are already comparable to those of carriers such as SA Airlink, SA Express and pending new LCC entrants into the South African market," he said.
Salaries logically trailed that of SA Airways and Comair, which both carried international, full service, premium brands.
Croucamp said Mango and the union signed a three-year wage agreement in 2012 giving effect to an agreement made in 2011.
"The 2012 agreement included guaranteed minimum increases for 2012, 2013 and 2014," he said.
"A further clause stated that, should the other airlines give their pilots increases during the three-year period, the parties would review Mango's agreed upon increases in order to maintain parity."
He said that last year Solidarity approached Mango in good faith for such a review.
However, the airline violated the spirit of the agreement by referring the review clause to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA).
Mango sought to get the review clause rescinded based on a technicality, which undermined labour stability at the airline, Croucamp said.
"Mango's sudden swing is in gross contempt of the parity ideal of the 2011 agreement," he said.
The CCMA rescinded the review clause, though it also recommended the airline and Solidarity should still enter into negotiations on how to achieve parity among low cost airlines.
"Solidarity has attempted to enter into such negotiations with Mango but without success," said Croucamp.
"As a result, the trade union on November 4, 2013 referred a dispute to the CCMA."
The CCMA compelled Mango to continue negotiations with Solidarity, and these took place last Friday, and on Tuesday and Wednesday.
"The increase Mango is offering at the moment would mean that its pilots would still earn approximately 16 percent less than their peers at the other low-cost airlines," said Croucamp.
"This is in breach of the parity principle in the 2011 agreement which still applies."
Kaizer said Mango had and would continue to honour its side of the salary agreements.
"We expected our union-led pilot body to do the same. It is unfortunate that talks have broken down to the current state of affairs," he said.
"While Mango has grown over the past 18 months, it has done so in a contracting market; and while it has operated profitably during the past fiscal year, erosion of success is easily monetised by blue-sky wage demands."
The airline already shared good fortune with its employees via a variable pay system that rewards staff during profitable periods, he said. The pilot body elected to resign from this scheme in 2012, he said.
"Should industrial action take place, Mango has contingency plans ready to manage any possible disruption to our service."
Kaizer said low-cost airline salaries were universally graded differently to full service carries
Mango employed 101 pilots at four airports in Johannesburg, Lanseria, Cape Town, and Durban.
Around 90 percent of Mango pilots were members of Solidarity, Kaizer said. - Sapa

The Rempis/Rosaly Duo FINALIZES TOUR DATES for December 2009
Dave Rempis and Frank Rosaly, two of the most active players in Chicago's world-renowned scene of jazz and improvised music, have finalized the schedule for their twelve-concert North American tour in late fall of 2009, coinciding with the release of their first duo cd, "Cyrillic," on the 482 Music label. With Rempis on saxophones (Vandermark Five, Rempis Percussion Quartet, The Engines) and Rosaly on percussion (Fast Citizens, Rolldown, Mandarin Movie,) this duo is a formidable presence, spanning a wealth of musical possibilities in their free-improvised outings.
Tour dates are as follows:
SU 11/29: Chicago, IL The Hungry Brain
TU 12/01: Buffalo, NY Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center
WE 12/02: Rochester, NY The Bop Shop
TH 12/03: Montreal, QC Sala Rossa
SA 12/05: Middlebury, VT 51 Main (workshop and concert)
SU 12/06: Cambridge, MA The Lily Pad (w/Pandelis Karayorgis)
MO 12/07: Providence, RI The Gordon School (private workshop)
MO 12/07: Philadelphia, PA International House
WE 12/09: Columbia, SC 701 Center for Contemporary Art
TH 12/10: Asheville, NC Bobo Gallery
FR 12/11: Newport, KY Thomas More College
SA 12/12: Lexington, KY Al's
The official release date for "Cyrillic" is January 12th, 2010, but copies will be made available before then exclusively at these concerts.
Saxophonist Dave Rempis and drummer Frank Rosaly have performed and recorded together in countless projects since Rosaly arrived on the Chicago scene in 2001, including The Rempis Percussion Quartet, The Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten Quintet, The Outskirts, and The Thread Quintet. Both musicians have established themselves as prominent players in the active milieu of the Chicago jazz scene, and spend as much time on the road in North America and Europe as they do at home. Their duo, active since 2004, focuses on the wide-ranging possibilities inherent to free-improvisation. And while both musicians are comfortable in the more abstract sonic spaces pioneered by European improvisers, neither one shies away from hard-hitting grooves, nor are they afraid of melodies or swing. Having allowed this relationship to develop gradually over the years, they decided to record their first duo release for 482 music, a label with which each musician has a significant history.

Over the last decade, Dave Rempis has emerged as one of the most active young players in the Chicago jazz and improvised music scene. Rempis graduated from Northwestern University in 1997 with a degree in anthropology, focusing in ethnomusicology, and a year spent at the University of Ghana, Legon in 1995-96. Since 1998, his work with the Vandermark Five as the "other" saxophonist has established him as one of the up-and-coming voices of his generation, and has also provided him the opportunity to perform extensively in clubs, concert halls, and festivals throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe. His own groups, including the Rempis Percussion Quartet, Triage, The Engines, The Rempis/Daisy Duo, and The Dave Rempis Quartet, have toured regularly throughout Europe and North America, and have been documented on the Okkadisk, 482 Music, Solitaire, Utech, and Not Two record labels. In addition to these groups, Rempis plays regularly with Ken Vandermark's Territory Band, The Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten Quintet, The Outskirts, and the Rempis/Bishop/ Kessler/Zerang Quartet. His frequent ad hoc collaborations have included performances with Paul Lytton, Axel Doerner, Peter Brotzmann, Hamid Drake, Kevin Drumm, Paul Nilsson-Love, Tony Buck, and David Stackenas. As a founding member of the Chicago presenters' collective Umbrella Music, Rempis curates a weekly concert series at Elastic, as well as the annual Umbrella Music Festival, now in its fourth year. Rempis has also been named as a Talent Deserving Wider Recognition in both the alto and baritone saxophone categories in the annual Downbeat Magazine International Critics' Poll.
Frank Rosaly is a percussionist and composer currently living in Chicago. Over the last 10 years he has become an integral part of the Chicago scene, navigating a fine line between the vibrant improvised music, indie-rock, experimental music, and jazz communities. He contributes much of his time to performing, composing, teaching, and organizing musical events, while managing a heavy touring schedule that takes him throughout North America and Europe.
Frank is currently active in many different groups. Some of these include Rob Mazurek's Mandarin Movie, The Rempis Percussion Quartet, The Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten Quintet, Jeff Parker/Nels Cline Quartet, Matana Robert's Chicago Project, Fred Lonberg-Holm's Valentine Trio, Keefe Jackson's Fast Citizens, The Jeb Bishop Trio, Jason Adasievicz's Rolldown, Jorrit Dijkstra's Flatlands Collective, The Chicago Lucern Exchange, and The Daniel Levin Trio. Rosaly also leads his own quintet, Viscous, featuring his original compositions. Other recent performances include collaborations with Peter Broetzmann, Tony Malaby, Anthony Coleman, Paul Flaherty, Marshall Allen, Louis Moholo, Eric Boeren, Ken Vandermark, Michael Zerang, and Walter Weirbos, among many others.mba assignment help india.

This mural at the new Whole Foods Market in Lincoln, Nebraska, takes cues from the city's history to make the new business feel right at home. The mural is inspired by historical photography of Lincoln's turn-of-the-century fruit and produce vendors. Eric Nyffeler of Omaha-based design studio Doe Eyed painted over a hundred fruits, veggies and other foods on a wall built out of rustic reclaimed wood. Nyffeler also created a hand-drawn logotype that recalls the early twentieth-century sign painting that can still be seen decorating many of Lincoln's historic buildings.

22 years ago this week, Nirvana released "Smells Like Teen Spirit." It was meant to be an introduction to Nirvana's soon-to-be-released "Nevermind" album, and as hard as it is to believe today, the song was not an instant hit, nor did the band or their record label expect it to be.
Flash forward several months later, and by the end of 1991, it was the biggest song in the United States. By 1992, it was clear that Nirvana had released one of the greatest rock albums of all time, and in doing so, they permanently altered the musical landscape, the way the music fans defined "Alternative Rock", and as an unintentional side-effect, they single-handedly ended the era of big hair and glam metal in favor of something more raw and authentic.
To mark this important anniversary in music history, Nirvana is Slacker's artist of the week.
This station is an overview of Nirvana's musical DNA; you'll hear their biggest hits, deep album tracks and rarities, and you'll also hear from the bands that influenced their sound and development as well as their Seattle contemporaries and the legions of artists that followed in their footsteps.

December 1, 2015
A two alarm fire breaks out at a Winchester home, destroying the home and everything inside.
When firefighters & family members arrived on scene, all they could do is stop and watch this nearly century-old home burn.
Family members say this two-story house was built in 1913. After standing on this farm for almost one-hundred years it stood no match to flames.
One of the family members on scene was Eric West, whose sister-in-law and her 19-year-old daughter recently moved to this home on the family property. West tells us that the two women were visiting family members in Estill County when the early morning fire started.
In addition to fighting flames, firefighters met several other hazards on the farm, inclduing a nearby propane tank.
Family members say that while many of the heirlooms cannot be replaced, they feel lucky that no one was hurt.

New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner admitted sending explicit text messages to a woman as recently as last summer.
Despite all the attention to New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner, aka "Carlos Danger," sending sexual texts or images by cellphone is still uncommon among adults, surveys suggest.
About 15 percent of adult cellphone owners said they have received a sexually suggestive nude or nearly nude photo or video of someone they know on their phone, according to a 2012 Pew Research Center survey. Only about 6 percent admit to sending one of themselves. About 3 percent said they have forwarded one. Numbers have remained about the same since an earlier survey in May 2010, Pew says.

Nintendo claimed as making DS with built-in storage
updated 02:55 pm EST, Fri November 16, 2007
Nintendo DS Lite Sequel
Nintendo has an enhanced version of its DS Lite handheld virtually complete and waiting for the right moment to ship, according to a Pacific Crest Securities analyst speaking with GameSpot. Researcher Evan Wilson refers to contacts who say the company has a design that abandons the legacy Gameboy Advance cartridge slot in exchange for built-in flash memory, larger dual screens, and a thinner profile. The delay is only because Nintendo has no reason to discontinue sales of the existing model when it sells as strongly as it does, Wilson says. Pacific Crest so far believes the revamped DS will be used to shore up sales only when they drop significantly across Europe, Japan, and North America at the same time.
Specific details of the platform are unavailable, though Nintendo has neither confirmed nor denied the existence of the third model. An official spokesperson so far says the report consists of "rumors and speculation" and declined to provide more comment on the issue. The DS has regularly been considered the best-selling handheld console in recent years and has recently suffered from low supply due to sheer demand.

Snow Update
Despite heavy snow yesterday, the airport is operating normally today and customers can expect to travel as normal.
With yesterday's snow accurately forecasted, we were able to make the necessary preparations to help our staff deal with significant accumulations on the airfield and minimise disruption.
However, it is possible that a small number of flights to areas of Europe that are currently affected by snow could experience short delays because of weather problems down route.

The Hype Cycle and the Twitter backlash
Whilst we always tend to ask our clients "what are your objectives?" rather than thinking "what's the latest toy?", there are many who find it hard to avoid the 'shiny object syndrome' prevalent in social media marketing.
So it's useful to be reminded of Gartner's 'Hype Cycle', which has been around a while, but is updated on a regular basis, for different sectors. The 2009 report costs about US$2,000, but the graph is arguably the best bit, so here it is, the 2009 Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies.
Some have seen this as supporting evidence for the inevitable 'Twitter backlash' that has been foretold by many. Whilst the invasion of Twitter spam, recent DDOS attacks and celebrities jumping on the bandwagon all point to the Trough of Disillusionment, on the other hand it's also possible that Gartner don't quite get it.
Microblogging should be further to the left of the graph, and (perhaps) with less time to mainstream adoption. As Read Write Web notes, Gartner don't consider the growing importance of the real-time web: a much bigger trend that Twitter is only one part of, and something Facebook are taking note of, and which Google have on their radar.

Normally when I call someone a yahoo, it's an insult. But in this instance it's both an insult and something the target can't deny.That's because Yahoo! Finance writer Rick Newman is decidedly a yahoo.
I rarely call out other writers about flatly not knowing what they are talking about, but I make an exception-- as EVERYONE knows—with Ezra Klein…and now noted yahoo, Yahoo! Finance! Writer! Rick! Newman!
OK, who am I kidding?
I'll stipulate right now that I call A LOT people out- including finance writers- for not knowing what they are talking about. But I'm saying that I don't in this case in the same way Obama says he does negotiate with the GOP.
It's done more as a matter of claiming moral authority than it is for any actual impartation of truth.
So I'm saying it rhetorically, OK? From a great big throne surrounded by Grecian columns.
I'm saying it because Newman! is another poster boy for what's wrong with mainstream media.
And I'd like to use him as an example so aspiring journalists will know that gone are the heroic days of brave investigative journalists. I'm selfless in this way.
I give and I give and I give and I give until someone else hurts, as we all know.
You're welcome.
Anywho, today, journalism looks more like stuff made by people who are good at making stuff up. And it's consumed by people who are good at listening to make-believe stuff written by people who make stuff up.
Stuff that's mostly rhetorical.Created by yahoos like Yahoo! Rick Newman.
"Well, for those who like that sort of thing," Abe Lincoln once yawned after listening to a reading about the occult, "I should think it is just about the sort of thing they would like."
Don't get me wrong, Rick's a fine writer. For those who like the sort of thing that Newman! writes about, I should think it is just about the sort of thing they would like.

I wasn't going to look at the set for tonight and be surprised on Wednesday, but curiosity got the best of me. My biggest complaint is that I really,
wanted Descent of the Archangel, which is one of my favorites, and they've been playing it pretty often. Nights of Arabia as well, but I think they stopped playing that a couple months back? On the other hand, if any song were to replace it, I'm glad that it's Abandoned, which is another one of my favorites.
I could do without EdenEcho, Necropolis, or Ghost Opera, but for my first time seeing Kamelot this will do, especially since, last I heard, Simone was even joining them for the US tour to do The Haunting with them. I'll ignore the lack of a couple favorites if it means seeing Simone join them for The Haunting.

Eagles look to excel against 4A teams
September 19, 2008
By Staff
Patriots rebuilding, Spartans reloading
By Derek Johnson, Jim Feehan and Christopher Huber
"I think we're going to be pretty good this year," said Issaquah High School golf coach Tom Bakamus. "Even in moving up to 4A. We finished fourth in KingCo last year, and sent four to district and one to state. Our best player and captain is Kevin Moon. He's an outstanding golfer. We have one senior in Cameron Danforth, and then just a slug of juniors from whom we should see some good things.
"The one big difference in moving to 4A will be that our kids will be able to play at some private golf courses, like Bear Creek and Inglewood," he said. "Private courses are often in much better condition than public courses."
Bakamus is also the women's golf coach, which plays its games in spring.
"The boys definitely have it better than the girls," said Bakamus with a chuckle. "They get to play in far better weather in the fall. In the spring months, the weather is terrible. The girls have to play in sweatshirts and rain jackets — they are always getting wet."
Andrew Pittman will be the only golfer with extensive varsity experience from a squad that saw four seniors graduate last year, said Coach Jon Kinsley, entering his third year at Liberty High School.
Six newcomers will join Pittman, a senior, this fall. Juniors Wright Noel, Robbie Gage, Troy Colyer, Connor Sjolander, Nick Stevens and Sean Pittman, Andrew's younger brother, will make up the nucleus of the team.
"We're deeper than we've ever been in my three years here," Kinsley said. "We have an eager, more competitive group of golfers this year."
Kinsley said he expected Mount Si and Issaquah to be among the top teams in the KingCo conference.
"We find out real quick how good we are when we go up against Mount Si," he said.
At their Sept. 10 matchup at the Mount Si Golf Club, Mount Si won handily, 179-219.
The Skyline High School boys golf team is coming off a respectable 6-2 record in 2007. The team finished fourth in Class 3A KingCo after a couple of tough tiebreaker matches. Last year was highlighted with a win over Mercer Island, which gave the Islanders their first loss in two years.
But this year, the guys will try their hand against some new opponents and new courses as they move up to the Crest division of KingCo 4A.
Skyline golfers look to the only two seniors Nick Tran (captain) and Ben Griffin to provide strong leadership on the course, as it remains to be seen which schools are the major power brokers in the league.
Matches to watch this season are: Skyline vs. Redmond at Bear Creek, 3 p.m. Sept. 25; Skyline vs. Eastlake at Plateau, 3 p.m. Sept. 30; and Skyline vs. Mount Si, at Plateau, 3 p.m. Oct. 8.

Brendan Haywood: No call from the NBA about his supposed punch to Dwight Howard's back
The mystery punch that Brendan Haywood supposedly threw into the lower back of Orlando center Dwight Howard during Friday's game is something Haywood said Sunday he has no recollection of.
He chalked it up to Magic coach Stan Van Gundy being himself.
"I haven't received a call (from the NBA)," Haywood said after practice. "I was watching NBA TV last night, they looked over it and couldn't find it. I guess Stan has that magical hand cam from the bench that he got something nobody else got."
Van Gundy claimed cameras caught Haywood throwing a punch into Howard's lower back. But getting a closed-fist forearm in the back is routine for NBA post-up men.
"I think Dwight caught me with more shots than I caught him," Haywood said. "He's the most physical player in the league. Stan made his comment. I haven't gotten a call from anybody, so I guess no one's listening.
"You can't ever be stunned with Stan. Stan will come out of the woodwork with anything. So he's protecting his player. That's what you're supposed to do. He has his opinion. I have mine. We're going to keep playing. They're going to keep playing. Dwight don't have a problem with me. I don't have a problem with Dwight. The only person who really has a problem here is Stan."

Update: This post has been updated on November 19, 2015. Scroll down to see the new adds.
Does this sound familiar? You see something and are really turned off by it first, but then, the more you look at it, the more it grows on you until you become obsessed with it? That happens to me quite often I must admit. In almost every case it's a shoe which I first hate, then like and finally LOVE! The last time this happened to me was with these lace-up ankle boots by Ann Demeulemeester.
Ann Demeulemeester Leather Open-Front Lace-Up Ankle Boots
($1.100, Barneys)
P.S.: Also available at Saks Fifth Avenue, ShoeScribe.com & Lane Crawford.
When I first saw them, I thought they were way too clunky for a woman's feet. But I couldn't help but be fascinated by them, so I decided to give them another chance and googled them. Sometimes, in order to be able to see a shoe's full potential, you have to see it on a person's feet. That was definitely the case with the Ann Demeulemeester lace-up boots. The moment I saw the models flaunting them in a mini dress, I was irrevocably in LOVE!

Jeffrey Campbell Corset Heels
Update (10/05/2009): More good news! Free People have finally restocked Jeffrey Campbell's Ann Deumeulemeester knockoffs. Missed out on these the first time? Now is your chance to get hold of these cuties!
Sometimes I think everything Jeffrey Campbell does these days is copying other people's work. Well, it may be unethical, but at least it allows us budget fashionistas to be fashionable without the hefty price tag. Look at these beautiful, almost identical knockoffs. Pretty amazing, huh? They sure are shamelessly expensive for knockoffs, but even priced at $198 they are about $700 les than the originals, so they can't be TOO bad, right? All sizes are still available, but you better be fast as these knockoffs won't stay for too long (they're also exclusively sold at Free People, so if they are gone there, you won't find them anywhere else).

Interesting, I was just looking at some closed ends for the first time. Question, how do I figure out whether a closed-ended is trading above its underlying asset value? Can I just take some numbers from yahoo finance or something and do a little math or is this information hard to come by and calculate because that is the way the closed-end funds like it?
Yes, I bought into Eaton Vance Municipal Opportunities Fund on the IPO at the suggestion of my advisor. The tax free 6.2% income seemed like a good deal. Problem is I bought in at $20.00 and in a few days they exercised their underwriters overallotment option and intial distribution of another 1.5 mil. shares and the fund droped to 18.50 right away and has hovered between ther and 19.00. So if it doesn't recover, one years interest or more may be lost. Didn't really get into it to break even for a year. Maybe iI just don't understand????

Allen, I rather not buy CEFs at IPO, as they usually sell at a premium (due to publicity, I guess), but those kinds of price changes are hard to predict. As Brett suggests, buying at a discount is a good rule of thumb, although overusing it can make you wait forever for a fund that would be a good addition to your portfolio. The good part is that the underlying assets work as an anchor; you still possess the same mix of assets and they will give you the originally-planned income.

When we put together our list of the 100 most important moments in LGBT sports history, we knew we'd probably overlook something.
Maybe an Austrian hurdler came out in the Eighties, or some Slovakian soccer player had said something horribly homophobic and damaging. And we may have missed something like that.
But I was incredibly embarrassed when I realized we missed a story that we had written about extensively, and that I personally feel is a deeply important moment in our history.
Many people, gay and straight, wonder when we will have the first openly gay professional team-sport athlete in America. The truth is, we've already had him.
Andrew Goldstein was openly gay when the Boston Cannons drafted him in the 2005 Major League Lacrosse draft. While many athletes claim an out athlete will lose his position on the team if he comes out, Goldstein was selected by a team that knew perfectly well he was gay.
Read the full story about Andrew Goldstein and what he wants to change in sports at OUTSPORTS.
