The mod you are trying to view has ceased development and consequently been archived. If you are a member of this mod, can demonstrate that it is being actively developed and will be able to keep this profile up to date with the latest news, images, videos and downloads, please contact us with all details and we will consider its re-activation.
Adventure Middle Earth (AME) is a mod, in fact a Total Conversion, for the game "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" by Bethesda Softworks. Our aim is to build JRR Tolkiens Middle Earth mainly known from the Lord of the Rings.
We are not making a Middle Earth game like to the ones which have already been made. We will neither only create parts of Middle Earth nor only make some adventures or campaigns for the player. We are creating whole of Middle Earth (from Lindon in the west to the sea of Rhûn in the east and from the Grey Mountains in the north to the River Harnen in the south) using the typical Elder Scrolls freedom giving the player countless options of playing the game. Some features and other information from the FAQ:
- 660 km² (Oblivion is about 42 km²)
- 7500-8000 real NPCs (not just dummies or orcs)
- 8 playable peoples each having its own story (altogether about 250 story-quests)
- 750 side quests
- grafical realisation of whole Middle Earth
- realisation of many battles of the War of the Ring
Our sources are the books of Tolkien himself, and not the films. We are trying to make a Middle Earth game Tolkien would actually like and about which one can say: "Yeah, this really is Middle Earth, worthy of Tolkien.". So that is our aim, and we hope to reach it. If you want to help us, just contact me (email@example.com). We need 2D- and 3D-Artists, no matter from which language. For textworkers or others we will only accept Germans, as we are a German mod.
A German Mod?! So not in English? Do not fear. We develop the game in German first and then translate it into English. Our homepage, right now, still is only available in German, but the English version will follow in the next weeks.
For any further questions just visit our website or post in the forums. I hope you enjoy and like our project.
P.S.: There have already been two other entries for our project here. The first one had been closed due to a change in game engine from Morrowind to Oblivion about a year ago and the second one has been taken over by a former teammember in favour of his own project.
The day has come: The first ingame material of AME is available - Screenshots of the terraform created by our heightmap. It has already been published exclusively at our new partner-site TES-Oblivion.de some hours ago, and now they can also be viewed here.
Along with the ingame screenshots the gallery is fit for service again - not yet entirely but almost. You cannot only see the new ingame-shots of the heightmap there, but also most of the other images.
The images from the heightmap are all from the region around the Blue Mountains in the northwest of Middle Earth. Furthermore it has to be said that this is not the final version but still WIP. Anyway it can give a good impression of what it will be like. When the landscape is eventually textured and filled with objects it will of course look much more alive. But for a first impression this should be enough.
Just visit the Gallery, and there best visit the section called Ingame-Screenshots. Those who want to tell us their opinion about the images may do this in the forums.
Enjoy the images

Is this mod dead, or is it still alive??? lol?? It would be a shame if its dead :(
This is no small undertaking! Good luck! I would LOVE to see this completed!
to this mod is released. You do a wonderful thing by making this mod, when are you finished, or how long has you come?
hm, it would be nice to have some lotr 'mini mods' like armor, weapons, or key locations
That's up to the team though
If the entire landscape is not possible then perhaps as mentioned below a smaller mod could be created based on one of the major battle sites with all the realistic detailed weapons and locations, surely that would still be enough work to keep any skilled team going for about a year!?
If you cant finish it how about a transport somewhere to the battle of helms deep or some other big battle
I'm not too sure if you guys are gonna stop building this mod but if you are you should still continue making armor and weopons etc. from Lord of the Rings! Like Minas Tirith armor and Rohirrim armor! Also some of the fortresses like Helms Deep and Minas Tirith. Maybe you could even stick in the Shire somewhere in the center of Tamriel! That would be realy cool and very appreciated
This is quite a bit large, and keep in mind landscaping, terrain, trees, weeds, mushrooms, plants, towns, and creatures. It is actually too large to aim for (Quest and NPC wise) but keep up the work. Also, this is just some advice, make some ay via spell, portal, flying creature, or something that can go to tamriel and vice versa.
Hey, dont give up yet! I've heard about programs that alow you to bypass the limits in the CS. I haven't actually seen them but the Mod Wiki site mentions that they are out there. Oblivion is an excellent platform for the AME Mod, you just need to keep trying and eventually you'll find something.
No that wont work, you can only have 16 quads, even if you seperate it into diff esp files, its sad.. :( i was looking forward to helping create tolkiens fantastic world for oblivion, but that dream cannot be realized with oblivion, perhaps another game, or mabey the next elder scrolls, but that may be some time, i hope the website hasnt been taking down, ive been checking it every other day and today i cant reach it, i sent a email to grabba, hopefully its just me.
If the day ever comes that we bring it to another game or Elder Scrolls V then you can bet, sure as hell, that i will be there to help, if some of the old team still share the dream.
Anyway i doubt theres a solution, as the team has searched rigorously for awhile now, but its always possible as much can be acomplished the the obivion editor, so if u ever come across somthing, then go ahead and post it somewhere or email it to me at email@example.com and ill email it to grabba and some of the other team.
its a shame, we couldve done it too, some pretty talented and dedicated people on that team, they worked long and hard, sucks that it was stopped by somthing like this, im less sorry that it wont be released as i am that they wont be able to create it, and i wont be able to help, its a passion of sorts, but just dont forget, and mabey one day you will see the return of Ame.
So hats off and lets give a hand, wheather ame returns or not, to the great Ame Modding Team

NOM's Marinelli "miscounts" the counter-protesters
Timothy Kincaid
July 15th, 2010
Louis Marinelli, the organizer of NOM's Big Bus of Animus nineteen city tour (and driver of the RV), blogged about the two girls who served as silent observers of the rally in August, ME. From the rather unsettlingly named One Man, One Woman: Inside Look:
Meanwhile, after an all-out call for homosexuals and gay rights activists from around the state, Equality Maine and other national gay rights groups which have been scrambling to organize counter rallies in opposition to the Marriage Tour were only able to turn out one lesbian couple who attended the rally silently and without any disruption.
They were "only able to turn out one lesbian couple"? Really? I guess that's what you have to say when you don't want to admit that your rally was dwarfed in size by the counter-protest.
And it's not like Marinelli didn't know about the counter protest; he dismisses it a "press conference" before going on to deride the girls for not wanting to be identified (he names one anyway) in NOM's tour blog (He needs to get his NOM talking points straight). This "Summer Marriage Tour" is so pathetic that Marinelli is willing to say anything so as not too appear a complete failure.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Two-time Olympic snowboarding champion Shaun White has apologized for the "unwise choices" he made that left him facing charges of public intoxication and vandalism.
Police responded to the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel in Nashville, Tenn., at 2 a.m. Sunday. A drunken man identified as White pulled a fire alarm, forcing the hotel to evacuate all guests. An employee also reported seeing White destroy a hotel phone.
The 26-year-old snowboard star said Tuesday on his Facebook page he wants to apologize for "any inconvenience it caused my family, friends, business partners, the hotel and their guests. He adds that he was "celebrating a happy occasion with a ton of family and friends and got carried away. I'm truly sorry for my poor behavior."

Health concerns relating to water quality triggered an environmental advocacy group to call for the banning of baptisms in the lower Jordan River, where the Bible says Jesus was baptized.
"For reasons of public health as well as religious integrity, baptism should be banned from taking place in the river" until pollutants are removed, said Gidon Bromberg, the Israel director of EcoPeace/Friends of the Earth Middle East, in July.

Food safety and sustainability to the fore as O'Neill strengthens scientific links with China
Agriculture Minister Michelle ONeill has commended the production standards of farmers in the north of Ireland and the valuable contribution of local agri-scientific research during her visit to China.
~ Wednesday, 14 November 2012
Minister O'Neill made the comments during visits to the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) and the Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences (SAAS). She was visiting the academies to officially open a Joint Food Science Research Centre at CAAS in Beijing, and a further Joint Food Research Centre in Shanghai, a city of 23 million inhabitants. The minister also witnessed the signing of significant agreements between the Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI) and the academies.
Minister O'Neill said: "Animal health, livestock traceability and food safety are of paramount importance in the production of high quality and wholesome food for consumption both in the home market and in markets throughout the world. Ireland has a reputation as a producer of high quality safe food and our local agri-scientists at AFBI play a critical role in providing us with the evidence base to support this.
"I value this opportunity to meet with leaders in Chinese agriculture to discuss areas of mutual interest within agri-food production and research. These collaborative projects with the Chinese and Shanghai academies cement working relationships that already exist between AFBI and the academies and will make a positive contribution towards strengthening strategic relationships between our two countries.
"I hope that there will be further opportunities for collaborative working and I look forward to seeing the results of these scientific collaborations on animal health, food safety and agri-economics."
During the visits Minister O'Neill also met with Professor Wang, Vice President of CAAS, Mr Sun Lei, Director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission for Agriculture with whom she discussed her concerns in relation to trade barriers to the export of pork to china; and President Wu leader of SAAS
Notes to editors:
- CAAS – The Joint Research Centre in Meat Science will be a virtual centre, building on existing areas of expertise within the Institute of Agro-Products Processing Science and Technology (IAPPST) in CAAS and the Food Group within AFBI. The Centre will be based in Beijing and will focus on meat safety and quality. Joint research projects will be carried out and will include activities such as staff and student exchanges.
- SAAS - The collaborative agreement between AFBI and SAAS will focus on developing further links in Animal Health, Agri-Economics and Food Quality & Safety.

Former Connecticut Governor and WTIC, Hartford Talk Host Found Guilty of Campaign Law Violations. He'd already served 10 months in prison for a 2004 conviction on corruption charges when CBS RADIO's news/talk WTIC, Hartford hired John Rowland to host a daily afternoon drive radio talk show. Now, after Friday's conviction on seven counts of campaign finance law violations, it appears that Rowland is likely headed back to prison. Sentencing is scheduled for December 12 but his attorneys plan to appeal. According to the Hartford Courant's account, Rowland, who resigned from WTIC in April just before being indicted on the charges, chose not to take a plea deal for 18 months jail time and tested his luck with the jury. It didn't work as the jury found him guilty of all charges related to his scheme to consult a Republican political candidate in 2012 and hide the fact that he was accepting the cash for those purposes. Read Edmund Mahony's Courant story here.
Local On-Air Talent CAN Become Indispensable. Media consultant Holland Cooke revisits (and expands upon!) the point he made the "pages" of TALKERS four years ago that "if you're in RADIO, you're in SALES" in a column published today (9/22). It's easy to pick apart the effectiveness of another medium's advertising components but radio must look in the mirror for, as Cooke writes, criticism of a lot of radio's not-so-great spots is justified because "at many stations, including some in major markets, there's no creative department. Reps write their own copy, a task that's not sellers' core competency." Effectiveness is directly related to quality, so how to up the quality? Cooke offers some suggestions and you can check them out here.
Consultant Fred Jacobs Encourages Radio Talent to Learn and Exploit Expanded Array of Available Media Tools. Reaction and commentary continues to buzz throughout the industry on the topic of the role of the aural media arts (non-visual radio and music) in the increasingly multi-media/visual environment of the digital era – instigated largely last week by comments made by TALKERS and RadioInfo publisher Michael Harrison in the aftermath of the Clear Channel name/branding change to iHEARTMEDIA. According to Harrison, "I am delighted by the enormous number of responses – mostly overwhelmingly positive – that my comments sparked. Of course, there were those who immediately jumped to the conclusion that I am against the word 'media' or that I do not believe radio should be involved in internet, satellite or visual media at all. This is, of course, preposterous! The name of our company that owns TALKERS is Talk Media, Inc.; the name of our convention was the New Media Seminar way back in 1998; TALKERS magazine's slogan is The Bible of Talk Radio and the New Talk Media; I have championed a concept known as "The Media Station" for more than a decade and the list goes on. All I am saying is we should remain sensitive and respectful to the idea that there is a very important place in this emerging mix for pure audio-only radio and music in terms of the fundamentals of these processes – and that by doing so, we will be serving the best interests of our industry, the people who work in it and the consumers who love radio and music on their basic terms." Harrison continues, "My friend, noted radio consultant/researcher Fred Jacobs, CEO of Jacobs Media, — also an industry voice who is outspoken on this most compelling issue — has written and posted a blog today (9/22) that I believe adds an important dimension to the subject that warrants attention. Jacobs makes a case, somewhat counterpoint (but not contradictory) to mine, that I find inspirational." In the blog, Jacobs writes, "I started thinking about this notion that the proliferation of screens will narrow the field for talkers, DJs, and hosts who are great with words, but not so wonderful visually. As he [Michael Harrison] notes, screens of all sizes are becoming dominant parts of how people consume media. Thankfully, radio has been able to participate on most of those screens, whether on smartphones or tablets. Over time as autonomous driving becomes more common, those who ride in these cars will gravitate to entertainment that is visual in origin – at least at a higher percentage than they are able to consume now while dangerously texting and driving. So is this the beginning of the end for radio, or is it simply the beginning of the beginning? Because as we have explored in this blog during the past few years, disruption forces old stars to adapt while bringing new ones to the center stage. Notably, two of the "Best Motion Picture" Oscars in just the past few years have focused on this topic. The King's Speech starring Colin Firth was a story about changing technology, as the King of England was forced to learn how to communicate on the radio. Of course, he struggled, but in the end he was able to adapt. And in The Artist, the film's silent film star refused to adapt to 'talkies' and is eventually displaced by a new brand of movie icons. Change is uncomfortable and it can be bitter, as depicted in this amazing film. The ending eventually become a happy one, but the road was arduous and difficult because of the tech disruption caused by the advent of movie sound. Change is hard, especially for those who have enjoyed the status quo. It tests everyone in all strata of the organization and the industry. Accepting, adapting, and adjusting is hard work. It can be quite uncomfortable in workplaces that were once always fun and even kind of easy. But these are the necessary skills that radio people need to exude in order to make the transition. We see signs of this every day in broadcast radio. Those who have the ability to connect with audiences – in person and in social spaces – have a unique edge. The old paradigm of the DJ hermit, locked down the hall in the air studio, is breaking apart. Today's air talent need to be able to mix it up with listeners, clients, and community leaders. Not every film star is handsome. The public appreciates an interesting face, whether it's Peter Dinklage on Game of Thrones or Linda Hunt on NCIS. They may be exceptions, but they stand out because they're different, captivating, and worthy of our attention. They're also immensely talented actors. And the same will be the case on the radios of the future. While good-looking DJs like Ryan Seacrest or Bobby Bones may have inherent advantages, Howard Stern proves that must-hear content trumps a pretty face. And he's not alone. Words matter, and they will continue to in a media ecosphere that is now dominated by visuals. Screens or not, it's the thought that counts. These are changes that radio need to roll with. Let's open up new visual doors, new avenues, and new paths for our content. And let's embrace them because it's truly a media world." To read Fred Jacobs' entire blog, please click here.
Radio Management Pro Warren Named VP/MM for Cumulus Nashville. Jumping from the Austin cluster of Entercom where she was director of sales and taking on the vice president and market manager role at Cumulus Media Nashville is Allison Warren. Cumulus SVP Jeff Brown comments, "Allison was a key part of my team in Denver some years back. She did great work there and has since built a portfolio of successes in vibrant radio markets including Austin, Madison and Milwaukee. Her results-driven, collaborative leadership style will infuse our Nashville operations with the energy and focus needed at this pivotal point in the cluster's growth. Allison will be an incredible asset to Cumulus' leadership team." Warren also served with Entercom at its Madison and Milwaukee clusters as well as with CBS RADIO in Denver. Cumulus operates six stations in the market including news/talk WWTN-FM "SuperTalk 99.7," sports talker WGFX "104.5 The Zone," as well as the Tennessee Titans Radio Network.
Cross Platform Media Acquires IRN/USA Radio Network. The president and CEO of Cross Platform Media, Sam Hassell, says the acquisition of IRN/USA Radio Network "rounds out the services of Cross Platform that is already deeply embedded in the national media space." Hassell continues, "We are very excited to make this announcement. We look forward to fulfilling the original vision of USA Radio Network by providing audience-engaging news and content to the independent and group station owners around the country." Christian and conservative broadcast pioneer Marlin Maddoux launched the USA Radio Network in 1985 and Hassell adds, "We are very respectful of the Maddoux legacy and proud to continue syndicating 'Point of View,' 'Daybreak USA,' IRN/USA News and so many other significant programs." IRN/USA Radio Network currently produces and/or distributes more than 20 nationally syndicated radio programs with audience-targeted formatting primarily for news/talk and Christian radio (both commercial and non-commercial).
BIA/Kelsey Forecast for 2015 Local Media Revenue: Up 1.6%. But, of course, the increase comes as beneficial for those in the online/digital media realm (+13.1%) and, not surprisingly, traditional media is expected to see another dip (-1.7%). BIA/Kelsey is presenting these results and more at its Leading in Local: SMB Digital Marketing conference in New Orleans this week. The company predicts that in 2015, online/digital will account for more than one-quarter (25.2%) of total local media revenues in 2015. Revenues for online/digital are expected to grow from $31 billion in 2014 to $35 billion in 2015, representing a 13.1% growth rate. Other forecasts include: Mobile local ad revenues will grow from $4.3 billion in 2014 to $6.6 billion in 2015; Local social media revenues will grow from $2.5 billion in 2014 to $3.6 billion in 2015; Local search revenues will grow from $7.1 billion in 2014 to $7.2 billion in 2015; Local display revenues will grow from $4.3 billion in 2014 to $4.9 billion in 2015; and Local online video revenues will grow from $2.3 billion in 2014 to $3.0 billion in 2015.
Dolans and Seaview Radio Hit Home Run with Live Event in South Florida. Proving there is life after WOR, New York, the legendary husband/wife money media team of Ken & Daria Dolan (pictured here, Daria at left, Ken at right) joined forces with WSVU (960 AM/95.9 FM/ 106.9 FM), North Palm Beach "Seaview Radio" this past Saturday (9/20) presenting a successful, day-long listener/sponsor event titled, "South Florida Wealth & Health Expo 2014," at the prestigious Jupiter Maltz Theatre in Jupiter, Florida. The event brought local businesses and services from the fields of health, finance and better living together highlighted with on-stage financial advice presentations by the Dolans. Seaview Radio general manager Chet Tart tells TALKERS, "The event gave us a wonderful opportunity to establish new and heightened relationships with sponsors from one of the most dynamic business sectors in the market. We immediately received positive response with attendees and vendors already asking about next year's event. I think we might have to find a larger venue, next time around." The Dolans, now based in Jupiter, are best remembered for their stunning run of success at WOR, New York and the WOR Radio Network in the 90s and early-2000s – supplemented by their hosting hot shows on CNN, MSNBC and other cable news/talk networks as well as penning best-selling books on the topic of personal finance. Known for their entertaining banter and solid advice both on air and on stage, the Dolans went into semi-retirement several years ago – but have had difficulty steering clear of offers that keep coming their way for live appearances and their broadcast sales consulting services. The result has been the birth of the increasingly active firm Dolan Media. CEO Ken Dolan tells TALKERS, "There are huge revenue and promotional opportunities for local radio stations in live events – especially in the areas that strike home to most people – health and money. The two go together beautifully as we have just proven at this event in Florida. Daria and I are strongly considering taking this show on the road and helping stations around the country create a very exciting form of financial and PR synergy so dearly needed by small and middle-sized operators at this time." Perennial members of the TALKERS Heavy Hundred during their run at WOR, the Dolans have been ranked #75 on the prestigious Heaviest Hundred list of the "100 Most important Radio Talk Show Hosts of All Time." WSVU, North Palm Beach was recently sold by North Palm Beach Broadcasters to JVC Media. GM Chet Tart – one of the most connected broadcast executives in the market – will stay on as GM of the new expanded operation planned by the acquiring owners, telling TALKERS, "With this transition to JVC, I find myself even more focused than ever… offering leadership, encouragement and inspiration to the staff. That's my focus!" Chet Tart can be reached by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Ken Dolan can be contacted at email@example.com.

Tornado Damage Reported Via Multi-Media on McGraw Milhaven Show. The series of tornadoes that swept across the Midwest on Sunday left serious damage in New Minden, Illinois – about an hour East of St. Louis. The photo you see here is from the video component of KTRS, St. Louis morning host McGraw Milhaven's online platform. Since the spring, Milhaven has been partnering with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's StlToday.com site to present his program in a video format. Today, he used that medium to his advantage as reporter Michael Golde was able to report back to the studio via Skype and show viewers scenes from the storm-damaged town and converse with Milhaven and news anchor Kelly Jackson. In posting the video on YouTube, Milhaven comments, "KTRS Radio in St Louis is the only radio station in the country to show live video of storm-damaged areas of Ill. to listeners on laptops, desktops and smartphones as well as the radio."
JVC Media to Flip Rock WRCN, Long Island to News/Talk After Christmas. Longtime rocker WRCN, Riverhead, New York has stopped playing "everything that rocks" and has gone Christmas music through the holidays. But after Christmas, the station will emerge as a news/talk outlet dubbed "LI News Radio 103.9." JVC Media president and CEO John Caracciolo explains the company's thinking in a statement: "WRCN has a long history and heritage on Long Island – many of us have grown up with the station and it has become an intricate part of our lives. But as our lives change so does our soundtrack. What we listened to growing up is not necessarily what we listen to now and what was important to us as teenagers maybe doesn't seem so important anymore. That's why we made the decision to change WRCN and develop and program a radio station that fits the needs of Long Island…Long Islanders are starving for local news and information. Why should we have to wait 22 minutes to hear about the world when all we really want is Islip to Southampton? What's the traffic like on the 347 merge or Sunrise Highway in Oakdale? This station will not only serve as your information source but it will be your sounding board for issues that influence your life, your community and your business." Talent that has been announced to be part of the new format includes Premiere Networks nationally syndicated star Sean Hannity and Cumulus Media Networks personality Mark Levin as well as local hosts Ernie Fasio, Vic Fusco, John Gomez, Kevin Law, Steve Levy, Frank McKay, and Jay Oliver.
Linda Thomas to Exit KIRO-FM, Seattle. Morning news anchor and reporter Linda Thomas announces she will be leaving Bonneville's news/talk KIRO-FM, Seattle at the end of the year for a new opportunity that, as she says, "doesn't involve being at work by 2:00 am." In a blog post at the company's Mynorthwest.com, she writes, "My Bonneville Seattle bosses understand and support my decision too, even though they don't want me to leave. That's what family members do. I'll always be grateful for them, and for you." Thomas first worked at KIRO in 1988 as an overnight editor and became morning drive anchor in 1993. She left the station to work as a freelancer but returned to KIRO-FM as morning anchor in 2010. She adds, "KIRO's news, talk and online teams are the best in the business. It's been an honor to work alongside amazing talent. I've learned a lot from all my co-workers. They encourage me, challenge me, and make me laugh on a daily basis. I really do love them."
Michelle Wright Let Go from All-News WYAY, Atlanta. The Atlanta Journal Constitution's Rodney Ho tips us that morning drive co-anchor Michelle Wright has been let go from Cumulus Media's all-news WYAY, Atlanta "All-News 106.7." Andy Rose remains in AM drive solo. The speculation is that the recent hiring of Kim "The Kimmer" Peterson to host a talk show in middays and the acquisition of Atlanta Braves baseball required some cuts in other areas of the station and Wright was the unfortunate victim. She was one of the original staffers when Cumulus decided to turn WYAY into an all-news station in May of 2012. She had previously worked at Atlanta-based CNN Radio before joining Cumulus.
CEOs Make the Grade. Clear Channel's Bob Pittman and Emmis' Jeff Smulyan were both the subjects of feature stories in newspapers over the weekend – Pittman in The New York Times and Smulyan in the Indianapolis Star. In a Q&A titled, the Value of Dissent, Pittman says he encouraged dissenters in his organization because they serve a valuable purpose. "I want us to listen to these dissenters because they may intend to tell you why we can't do something, but if you listen hard, what they're really telling you is what you must do to get something done. It gets you out of your framework of the conventions of what you can and can't do." Read that piece here. Jeff Smulyan tells the Star in his Q&A that the best piece of advice he's received has to do with employer-employee relationships, "Attract the best people, treat them well, and let them do their job. If you want people to go through walls for you, you have to go through more walls for them." Read that story here.
The View of Radio from the Digital World's Perspective. Noted radio digital consultant and TALKERS columnist Chris Miller writes, "Those of us in digital media know that our world will continue to change drastically, over and over again. We also know that we will be bigger and better three years…five years…10 years from now. Plus, we hear how radio compares itself to online listening choices, and we see how you use your digital platforms. And here's what we think." In a new column posted today (11/18) Miller goes on to state that digital-only people still have "transmitter envy" and that even though more and more people and media are moving online, the stick is still a formidable asset. Regardless, he points out that many digital-only professionals think that over-the-air radio companies are "crazy" for cutting talent, still selling 60-second commercials, and not being cognizant of just how much entertainment is changing. He clearly explains what digital pros see as radio's "dangerous assumption." He observes, "I look at a lot of different radio social media, websites, database emails and texting programs, and it's clear you're making some dangerous assumptions. Digital content doesn't work like you think it should. It doesn't work like you wish it did. It works like it works. We see you on Facebook and Twitter talking about almost anything…except what people really love about you. Your websites are a mish-mosh of broad-based content, but if you look at your web stats, there are fewer than half-a-dozen features at your site that, combined, get the lion's share of your page views. There is nothing special or exclusive about the emails you send your listeners, and your open rates prove it. Radio people know a lot about how people use radio. Meanwhile, you are using all these other media as if knowing how they work doesn't matter. One key thing we're doing to drive our online success is to track everything we can to see what really makes a difference. We don't have the luxury of having opinions about what should work. Either the clicks are there, or they aren't. What we do either works, or it doesn't. If it doesn't, you dig in, diagnose the problem, and adjust."

Premiere Reverses Course; Keeps Randi Rhodes on Syndication Menu. There are no reports indicating just what happened between Randi Rhodes and syndicator Premiere Networks but the latter is confirming the widely reported news that Rhodes will continue to be syndicated by Premiere, at least through 2014. Premiere SVP of affiliate relations Peter Tripi emailed affiliates, "In a happy turn of events, we are pleased to announce that Premiere Networks will continue to produce and distribute the Randi Rhodes show. In an industry of constant change, it's a pleasure to provide good news about a talk talent we think so highly of. We apologize for any inconvenience the previous announcement caused, but look forward to a very successful 2014 with the Randi Rhodes show." Several weeks ago, Rhodes began telling her audience she was foreseeing the end of her program and later Premiere notified affiliates the relationship would be ending.
It's Pop-Up Time. No, not the kind of pop-up we associate with websites – pop-up ads – but those retail stores that "pop up" in vacant storefronts during the holiday shopping season. Sales maven and H&H Communications president Al Herskovitz writes about getting these seasonal businesses advertising on your station this year. He notes that many of these retailers are big name brands that choose to expand their physical space during this time of year and they include Vera Bradley, Louis Vuitton and the National Football League. Read Al Herskovitz's entire column here.

Kennedy, ABC News Radio is offering a two-hour special broadcast, "Three Shots Rang Out: An ABC News Special – The JFK Assassination 50 Years Later," anchored by ABC News' Diane Sawyer. It's an audio-only program that will be heard by ABC News Radio affiliates.

The Audible.com version of this program will include an additional 40 minutes of historical audio available exclusively to Audible listeners.
Ron Ruth Passes. Former 19-year Radio Advertising Bureau executive vice president of stations Ron Ruth died early Saturday (11/16) in Florida of a heart attack. The 75-year-old Ruth had been struggling with health issues the past two months. CBS Radio president and chief executive officer Dan Mason was among those quickly noting their sympathies regarding Ruth's passing. "I just spoke with him at the Radio Show this past September in Orlando," Mason writes on Facebook. "He was so up and happy – I am sad tonight." Also on that social media platform, Tom Birch notes, "Ron lived life to its fullest and was a joy and inspiration to everyone who had the opportunity to know him. Ron was the midwife to Birch Research. He opened doors for me, encouraged me and guided me. I am deeply honored to have worked for Ron at WQAM, Miami in the 1970s, and to have remained friends with him for the next three decades." According to former RKO General eastern vice president Perry Ury, "Ron Ruth was a friend and our house skeptic at RKO." Former Tele Media Broadcasting vice president and chief operating officer Ira Rosenblatt adds, "We've lost a friend and true broadcaster." Doing afternoon drive in Boston early in his radio career, Ruth roomed with two other on-air talents who went on to stardom – George Carlin and Jack Burns of Burns & (Avery) Schreiber. He held sales manager positions for Unistar Radio Networks, as well as at the local level in markets such as New York (WOR-FM), Chicago (WNUS), Washington, DC (WGMS), and Buffalo (WYSL). Ruth left Unistar to join the RAB in 1992. Most recently, he was consulting the Radio Advertising Bureau.
A Man of His Word. The man having his head shaved live on the air on Cumulus Media's WMAL, Washington, DC is former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino. Not too long ago, Bongino said on the WMAL airwaves that he would shave his head if President Obama apologized for the gaffes in the rollout of the Affordable Care Act. And since the president did offer an apology of sorts, Bongino agreed to honor his statement live on the air and did so on Friday, November 15.

Magnus Toren shot this photo Monday night of a 900-acre wildfire raging in Big Sur.
Big Sur
As the Pfeiffer Fire spread across 800 acres in Big Sur, the SPCA for Monterey County jumped into action and helped residents move large pets out of harm's way.
The SPCA for Monterey County rescued animals from the Pfeiffer Fire, including alpacas, goats, sheep, llamas, and chickens. If you need help evacuating your pets from Big Sur, call the SPCA at 831-373-2631.
Hundreds of houses scattered along mountains were threatened by the Pfeiffer Fire. At least 22 structures were destroyed.

Kodiak Greenwood, whose photography has been printed by National Geographic and Rolling Stone magazines, was at a photo shoot in Oregon when the Big Sur fire ignited Dec. 16. As soon as he heard about the Pfeiffer Fire, Greenwood drove 11 hours straight to find everything he owned was gone.
A friend set up a fundraising website on gofundme.com for Greenwood, and more than $24,000 donations had poured in by Monday.
This was all that was left of Big Sur Fire Chief Martha Karstens' house on Pfeiffer Ridge Road.

The Pfeiffer Fire also impacted habitats for many wild animals. However, the SPCA said these animals are adapted to living in a fire-prone ecosystem, and most are able to move out of the way of an approaching fire.

Firefighters are seen leaving Big Sur over the Bixby Bridge after almost fully containing the Pfeiffer Fire in December 2013.
After an intense fire fight on Tuesday and Wednesday, some of the 1,000 firefighters in Big Sur headed home Thursday afternoon.
Big Sur fire Wednesday
The Pfeiffer Fire scorched 769 acres, destroyed 22 homes in Big Sur, and was 74 percent contained Wednesday.
Winds shifted on Tuesday and blew thick clouds of smoke and ash from Big Sur to the Monterey Peninsula and Salinas. Monterey County Air Pollution Control officers issued a health advisory.
Thick clouds of smoke from the Big Sur wildfire blew over Monterey, Salinas, and Santa Cruz and created a vivid sunset Tuesday. Joanne Johnson shot this photo of Rio Del Mar in Aptos at sunset.

Fire crews continued an air attack Tuesday morning as helicopters and air tankers scooped water out of the ocean and from ponds before dumping it over burning trees in Los Padres National Forest.
On Tuesday morning, the U.S. Forest Service said firefighters expect to have the Pfeiffer Fire contained by Friday.
"Houses burned to the ground, cars completely burned, trees...just really a devastated landscape up there right now," Monterey County Sheriff Scott Miller said.
Car lights melted before the car's owner was able to zoom it out of harm's way.
Fire crews expect to have the 700-acre blaze contained by Friday night.
Stan Russell shot this photo in the Rocky Creek area of Big Sur Tuesday showing smoke along the Big Sur coastline.

Smoke rises over Big Sur Monday.
"Standing here at the base to Pfeiffer Ridge and hearing propane tanks blowing up and seeing the ugly thick dark smoke indicating more properties have been destroyed. It's the saddest moment imaginable," Big Sur resident Toby-Rowland Jones said.
Firefighters believe the blaze broke out at midnight on a hiking trail called Buzzards Roost Trail.
On Thursday, Dec. 19, Big Sur's sky was clear and blue for the first time since the wildfire ignited.

Jamboree set for this weekend
NORTH FORK — For more than 100 years, this city has been known as a logging community — and the annual Loggers Jamboree makes sure to honor that history.
"I have lived in North Fork for more than 50 years, and I know first-hand how important logging was to our community," said District 5 Supervisor Tom Wheeler. "Logging was our lifeblood; it was how we identified ourselves and our community. Every year, the Loggers Jamboree helps us to celebrate those memories."
The event, which takes place Saturday and Sunday, is a competition of traditional logging skills that includes log rolling, log burling, choker setting, tree felling, hot saws, power saws, hand chopping, hand bucking and axe throwing.
Events are open to both men and women who compete to test their strength, skill and determination. All events are held at the North Fork Recreation Center, 33507 Road 230...

The perfect bar
My earlier post about the Harbor Way Inn got me thinking: what would the perfect bar look like?
I have an idea of what my ideal bar would be like, but I want to hear from you first.
When you imagine the perfect bar, what comes to mind? How big would it be? Would it be a sharp new spot or a classic pub with lots of wood and brick? What kind of drinks would it specialize in? Beer? Liquor? Wine?
Would it have outside seating or a deck? Tables? Or just barstools?
And last but not least, what would the crowd be like?

Chester, NJ – Central Theatre is proud to present Andrew Lloyd Webber's Evita. The show opens on Thursday, March 13 at 7:30 pm and runs Friday, March 14 at 7:30 pm and Saturday March 15 at 2:00 pm and 7:30 pm at West Morris Central High School Auditorium on 259 Bartley Road in Chester. Tickets are $10 for students and $12 for general admission. For ticket sales contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Argentina's controversial first lady Eva Peron is the subject of this dynamic musical masterpiece. As an illegitimate fifteen year old, Eva escaped her dirt-poor existence for the bright lights of Buenos Aires. Driven by ambition and blessed with charisma, she was a starlet at twenty-two, the President's mistress at twenty-four, First Lady at twenty-seven, and dead at thirty-three. Told through a compelling score that fuses haunting chorales with exuberant Latin, Pop, and Jazz influences, Evita creates an arresting theatrical portrait as complex as the woman herself.
The show started in 1976 as a rock opera concept album. That led to productions in London in 1978, where it won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Musical, and Broadway in 1979, winning the Tony award for Best Musical. There have been numerous tours and a major film in 1996 starring Madonna and Antonio Bandares. In 2006 the show was revived in London, and in 2012 on Broadway.
Evita is directed by English/Drama teacher Jeff Hogan, choreographed by math teacher Dana Harrington, and musically directed by Tracy Witko and band teacher Margret Schaeffer. Set design is by Ron Kadri and properties design by art teacher Harmony Dougher. Costumes are done by Susan Thompson and hair/makeup is special education teacher Tanya Cavallo.
• Sophomore Lauren Layfield is playing Evita
• Junior Kevin Wehrhahn is playing Che (The narrator and Eva's opposition)
• Junior John Humcke is playing Juan Peron (The President of Argentina and Evita's husband)
• Sophomore Caleb Hafen is playing Agustin Magaldi (The tango singer Evita cons into taking her to Buenos Aires)
• Senior Christina Monticciolo is playing the mistress (Juan Peron's mistress who Evita kicks to the curb)
• Junior Jenniece Vazquez is playing Lillian Lagomarsino de Guardo (Evita's best friend)
• Senior Katy Hunt is featured as a soloist in the song "Santa Evita"

PBC commissioners "gold standard for bad behavior"?
We asked Barnie Bishop, president of Associated Industries of Florida, what he thought about the Florida House's tax-cut package that includes stringent tax caps.
Bishop said it's a bad idea because it would gut local government services, but then he offered this acerbic assessment of Palm Beach County's spending and why state legislators are so eager to dig into local budgets: "We tend to look at the worst cases, like Palm Beach County. They're the gold standard for bad behavior of county commissioners."

The Justice Department recently won a court battle to keep an Internet company from talking about federal demands for user data, arguing that even disclosing the company's name would damage national security.
But then, after months of arguments, the department appears to have been foiled by its own redaction process, which left the name "Google" on one page that was posted Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The case and Google's role in it underscore a tension between some Silicon Valley companies and the government over national security surveillance and the secrecy surrounding it.
Google has been pushing back against data-gathering tools called national security letters in two federal courts since this spring.

Antivenin to aisle 4, please … Repeat, snake bite kit to aisle 4.
While shopping for mulch to use on his marijuana plants, Mica Craig, 47, was bitten by a rattlesnake at a Wal-Mart in Idaho. Craig may need some of that medical marijuana he legally grows to help him deal with the pain and stress of having a deadly serpent lock onto his hand.
Craig had mistaken the snake for a stick sitting atop a mulch pile, which was in an outdoor gardening area in store's parking lot. Where's Samuel L. Jackson when you need him to take care of snakes on a pile?
"I reached down to grab the stick to move it out of the way, and the snake stretched out, turned around and got its fangs in my right hand," Craig told MSNBC. "I slung it off and I did a tap dance on it until it was dead."
Doctors originally thought the snake hadn't injected any venom, but after 20 minutes Craig's hand swelled to the size of a grapefruit. He is still hospitalized.
"As of right now, my little finger doesn't move at all and my ring finger barely moves," he said, according to radio station KIRO FM. "I'm just hoping that my hand works."

Hate buying a gift for the person who already has all the latest gadgets? Well, here's a good alternative: yard sales.
The weekends are the perfect time to hit the streets, avoid the congested parking lots, and find a few bargains.
Garage sales offer gifts you just might not find everywhere.
Shirley Rosselot held a garage sale Saturday and said, "If you're wanting one of a kind things or unusual things, that's what we have here. We thought maybe people would like to have something different, something that's just not the same."
Whether it was the short lines or the front row parking spaces, shoppers were all smiles at the yard sale.

text: Home Culture 3 Black Directors Make '20 to Watch' List Dee Rees, Terence Nance and Barry Jenkins are among the rising young filmmakers, according to the New York Times. By: Jozen Cummings Posted: Sept. 9 2013 7:16 PM 0 Dee Rees, director of Pariah (Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images) Have you seen Pariah? The 2011 coming-of-age film about a young lesbian was a Sundance darling. What about An Oversimplification of Her Beauty, a film that blended real-life actors with animation to tell the story of a man grief-stricken over a breakup? Or maybe you saw Medicine for Melancholy, a romantic indie film about two strangers who spend the day together after a one-night stand. None of these films are alike, but all three have one thing in common: Their directors are black, and the New York Times included the three of them in its profile of "20 Directors to Watch." We weren't interested in promoting an idea of cinematic correctness or in fabricating an arbitrary new "wave." We weren't looking for diversity, even if we happily found it: 25 percent of our directors, for instance, are women, well above the American average. Fewer than half are North American. Male or female, black or white, Londoners or Brooklynites, these 20 do not represent a school, a movement or a generational cohort. What they do represent is the persistence of personal vision and the resilience of cinema, which in its second century remains a young art form with a bright future. Of Dee Rees, the director of Pariah, the Times writes: This is how much people love Dee Rees: The Philip K. Dick estate gave Ms. Rees the rights to his novel "Martian Time-Slip" basically free, and her adaptation of Toni Morrison's novel "Home" has been blessed by the goddess herself. Terence Nance's work is, they admit, somewhat of an enigma: "An Oversimplification of Her Beauty," is an impossible-to-describe blend of animation, memoir and essay film, on the subject of romantic misunderstanding. Its voice is so arresting and original that the film is perhaps best explained by the director himself, who was born in Dallas and lives in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn ... "First, the script was written in the form of a song: verse, chorus, verse; chorus, bridge vamp and so on. But also the blues to me as a formal space is about taking an everyday experience with pain and memorializing it in a way that makes it melodic, funny and melodramatic. I think Toni Morrison's books inspired me ... " Barry Jenkins, the director of Medicine for Melancholy, is given a short Q&A. Talk about your identity as a filmmaker. I'm a black filmmaker. I must be. When I think of characters, or rather, when characters come to me -- as the best ones do, outside of conscious thought -- overwhelmingly they are black. And when I introduce these characters and films into the production framework of this industry, the funding and distribution "restrictions" I'm met with as a result of those characters' blackness would remind me, if it weren't clear already, that I am indeed black. Short snippets of the work of all three directors are also featured in the interactive feature. Read more at the New York Times. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

She litterally is the complete package. well we have been out of contact for almost a year and then all of the sudden she called my cell phone and wanted to come over. I had it in my mind i wanted to take her to bed as soon as i seen her but i was chicken
. So we started talking more over the phone and one thing led to another and the conversation ended with "well we were in the bedroom long enough" and yes i know what your all thinking why didn't i then. we were smoking and she is in a relationship thats why. But long story short she is HOT and i am so freaking excited i am nervous. This is the girl of everymans dreams and i don't want to fuck it up can anyone give some pointers

Feb 3 @ 10:49AM
and she is in a relationship thats why
watch yer self...don't take her friendship n become infatuated with her......could lead to lots of pain....been there....be her friend if thats what she needs....AND IF......things are ment to be diff.....they will be...
2nd...IF she'd leave HIM for you.......how would you EVER trust her not to leave you for the next guy??
just some unemotioal thoughts for you
Feb 3 @ 10:53AM
be yourself, be her friend, be there for her, do not rush into anything.... if it is meant to be, it will happen all on its own...
Feb 3 @ 11:23AM
If this is a fling, Go jump her at the first chance you get
If this is "the woman" for you, then WAIT! Wait for love to devolop, wait untill there are feeling so that it will have meaning when you do, wait untill SHE cant wait anymore..
When it does happen, dont worry about YOU and dont let HER worry about you, focus on HER pleasure, mind and body! Guys can cum with almost anything in thier head, a woman is more mentally stimulated usually.. MAKE LOVE to her MIND and her body will follow..
Be a gentleman, she may say she dont care, but ALL women like help with thier coat, a door opened a chair pulled or pushed and kind word, even a "Wow you look beautiful today" when they are down
Again, if you just want to hit it and quit it, call her up and do what you have been doing, but always think ahead! I have 2 child support payments, I am one broke dick dude! $150 a week is what my paychecks are, and I have a GREAT paying job!
Feb 3 @ 11:38AM
thanks for all the info but here is the specks
her boyfriend beats her
i have known her as a friend for 3yrs
i know whats going to happen and thats were going for it but>>>>>
should i ask her what she is looking for or enjoy what i have and not worrie about it
Feb 3 @ 11:41AM
ask her straight up whether she is really interested in you for you, or if you are a scape goat to get away from the other guy....tell her to be honest with you, and tell her that even if she says that you are just a way out, that you will support her and help her get out of the bad spot she is in... tell her you need to know...
I am the woman who was in a relationship where my husband was beating me... and the grass always looks greener on the other side when you are the one receiving the beating... keep your heart in check!

|Was Ruth Royal Victoria's sister and not daughter in the beginning?
Yes. In the first the episode after Redd Foxx's death, Jackee was written into the series as Della Reese's sister, Ruth Royal. It was changed when people asked about the age difference between Reese and Harry. A few episodes later it was stated that Ruth was her daughter.
|Did Redd Foxx die during filming of an episode.
Yes, much like when John Ritter died while filming 8 Simple Steps, Redd Foxx died on set. Unlike John Ritter, who had unaired episodes already filmed, Redd Foxx's final episode aired before his death.

Five Way to Reimagine Family Traditions for Thanksgiving: Nate Keller
November 10th, 2011
The holidays are upon us - you've successfully tackled the fall squash, mashed potatoes like James Brown and reserved the appropriately sized bird for your guest list. You've even found time to craft your very own "bacon pig." Everything is shaping up nicely in apple-pie order - that is, until the word "pie" just sent you into a flour frenzy.
Although sweet, dessert can bring out the crustiness in the most pleasant of holiday hosts and hostesses. While pie crust is minimalistic in origin - flour, butter, ice water with a little sugar and salt thrown in for good measure - many home cooks find themselves thankful for the premade varieties this time of year.
If you're one of those put off by do-it-yourself pastry, just roll with this all-butter crust tutorial.

Celebrity chef Mario Batali's recent remarks comparing bankers to "Stalin or Hitler and the evil guys" have landed him in hot pappardelle with the clientele of some of his high-end restaurants.
While participating on a Time Magazine Person of the Year panel along with NBC anchor Brian Williams, comedian Seth Meyers and taxpayer advocate Grover Norquist, Batali was asked by the moderator, Time's managing editor Richard Stengel who he would choose for that distinction.
After citing his admiration for Steve Jobs and food activist Michael Pollan, Batali went on to condemn the banking industry for what he characterized as their negative effect on a global scale saying, "So the ways the bankers have kind of toppled the way money is distributed and taken most of it into their hands is as good as Stalin or Hitler and the evil guys. They're not heroes, they're just people that had a really huge effect on the way the world is operating."

Russian agency okays state's purchase of Yukos
MOSCOW - Russia's anti-monopoly agency said yesterday that the purchase of Yukos assets by a state-owned firm had been made in accordance with the law.a
Yukos' Yuganskneftegaz subsidiary - the oil giant's most important production unit - was sold at an auction last Sunday to an obscure company called BaikalFinansGroup for $9.3 billion, half of what foreign auditors say it was worth.
A state-owned firm, the Rosneft oil company, then purchased BaikalFinansGroup in an apparently secret deal. President Vladimir Putin's deputy chief of staff and longtime confidant, Igor Sechin, serves as Rosneft's chairman of the board.
Irina Kashunina, a spokeswoman for the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service, said the agency had reviewed the actions of both companies and had decided they conformed with current anti-monopoly legislation. "We had checked both companies prior to the deal," she said yesterday.
The deal sets the stage for the Kremlin's takeover of the nation's largest oil company following an 18-month official crackdown of Yukos, which supplies about 2 percent of the world's oil.
The U.S. State Department has said the sale further eroded investors' confidence in Russia's judicial and legal system; but Putin has strongly defended it, saying the state was merely protecting its interests through legal means, taking assets away from those who had bought them for a song during the controversial post-Soviet sellout of state property.
Yukos founder Mikhail Khodorkovsky has been in jail for the last 14 months on charges of fraud and tax evasion. Russian authorities say Yukos owes $28 billion in taxes, and have frozen its assets.
Putin defined the moves against Yukos as part of efforts to uproot corruption and shady accounting, but Kremlin critics have described it as a vendetta for Khodorkovsky's political activities and an attempt to gain leverage over the strategically important oil sector.
Arms sales
Russia, meanwhile, plans to sell a host of new military jet fighters and transport planes to China in 2005, arms export officials said Friday, adding that foreign sales of Russian weaponry and equipment could exceed $5 billion next year.
Yury Krylov, who heads the air force division of the Rosoboronexport state agency, said that his agency and Chinese Air Force expected to sign several new contracts for Su-30MK2 jet fighters. Work on supplying Il-76 military transports and Il-78 aerial tankers were almost finished as well, he said.
Defense analysts say Su-30s cost about $35 million each. India bought several dozen Su-30MKI jets in the late 1990s for $28 million each.
China is the Russian arms industry's No. 1 customer, and is expected to buy weapons worth some $2 billion this year to modernize its arsenal and support frequent threats to invade Taiwan.

Jordin Sparks visited the 39th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction Saturday, Jan. 23, at WestWorld of Scottsdale.
The "American Idol" winner from Glendale met with fans for an autograph session in the mid-afternoon, but before that, she checked out the "Jordin Sparks Special Edition" 2010 Shelby GT500 Super Snake.
As Sparks approached the Shelby Foundation Booth and saw the automobile, the singer excitedly checked out every detail of the car, pausing over the wheels, the trunk, the inside of the car, and at every inspection point, the singer flashed a big smile.
A great portion of the excitement was because the car will be auctioned in Miami Feb. 3 at the "Third Annual Jordin Sparks Experience" in conjunction with the 2010 Pro Super Bowl in Miami.
The proceeds from the car, for which minimum bids start at $75,000, benefit the Carroll Shelby Foundation and Sparks Charities.
But the car is not the only item to be auctioned at the Miami event.
Among the items, there will be a football and ice cream session with Sparks and Arizona Cardinal Larry Fitzgerald for a $20,000 minimum bid, and a private slumber party for 10 girls and two adults at the Eden Roc Renaissance Miami Beach Resort suite with a 10,000 minimum bid.
Sparks spoke to the Republic about the car and her life.
Question: Tell us some of your memorable moments.
Answer: I guess I would have to say getting my driver's license was a pretty big moment, getting my braces off, winning "American Idol", singing at the Super Bowl and now getting this car.
Q: How does it feel to have a car named after you?
A: It's different because you can put your initials or find a sticker and put it on your car and go 'oh my gosh, that's awesome,' but to actually have one made is a different story. It is just beautiful. The design is gorgeous. My initials are embroidered in the seats. I don't even know what to say.
Q: Are you going to drive this car?
A: They said I could drive this car to Miami, but I have to be careful because I forgot how to drive a stick shift. I am hoping it is a big parking lot with no cars or anything anywhere close so the car can stay nice.
Q: Are you a Shelby fan?
A: I am. This car is a replica of the car that I have. On "American Idol," we won the Mustangs, but I upgraded mine, and it's the same color. It's awesome. It purrs like a kitten.
Q: How will you split the profits between the Carroll Shelby Foundation and Sparks Charities?
A: We're still figuring out how the splits are going to go. The portion for Sparks Charities will go to the "Toy Chest" at Miami Children's Hospital for a year, donations of funds for Haiti and also helping widows and orphans in Russia. That's where my mom's heart is and that's how we like to help out. It is all going to great causes.
Q: How is philanthropic work part of who you are?
A: My dad used to play football and my mom had Sparks Charities before anything even happened to me. My mom was always doing stuff and I saw her doing that and I wanted to help. I love seeing people happy. I love giving things and seeing the look on people's faces. So when I can use my name to do something bigger than myself, it's awesome.
Q: Do you take a peek at the current "American Idol" season to see what's going on?
A: Yes. I love watching it. I am an "Idol" freak. I watched the first season and I will watch this one. It has been really good. There was this guy, I think his name was Jermaine. He was awesome and he sang "What If God Was One of Us." It was beautiful.
Q: What are your plans for the future?
A: I am going to shoot "Bones" next week, which I am really excited about it, because it's my favorite show ever. After the Super Bowl, I will be in Los Angeles for a while writing and doing some different things. Hopefully, I will get to do some more acting and have a tour.
Singer Jordin Sparks points to her initials on the "Jordin Sparks Special Edition" 2010 Shelby GT500 Super Snake at the 39th Annual Scottsdale Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction Jan. 23, 2010, in Scottsdale.

County: 30 trees fall in one day
By: Jenifer Gee Journal Staff Writer
Early tree trimming work reduced calls
Placer County road workers said they were trying to keep their heads above the water that continued to pour down Wednesday. "Today we've had over 30 trees go down, mostly in the western and southern parts of the county," Kevin Taber, Placer County superintendent of roads, said Wednesday. "We've responded to all of them." Taber said that staff was working around the clock with two, 12-hour shifts, to battle the rain in south Placer County and handle the snowfall in the Sierra. Taber estimated that about 40 workers were dedicated to plowing snow-covered county roads. "Today and tomorrow are going to be the real tests for us because a lot more snow is going to fall in Lake Tahoe, at least they're predicting that," Taber said. "And it's coming down heavy now." Wednesday's storm is the third to hit the foothills since Monday. The first two storms also brought strong winds and rains but Wednesday's downfall was said to the heaviest, according to Angus Barkhuss, forecaster with the National Weather Service in Sacramento. A fourth storm is expected to bring more rain and wind Thursday. Taber said depending on the strength of that storm, he anticipates that road crews will be involved in storm debris clean-up efforts for the rest of the week. "The weather is really keeping us busy," Taber said. "At least for right now we're keeping our head above the water literally and figuratively." Taber said that tree-trimming work over the past two summers and this fall has helped prevent significant roadway debris problems thus far in some places. He said the county used of the Washington Ridge Fire Crew to trim trees and fix ones dangerously close to major roads such as Bowman, Taylor, Dry Creek and Auburn Folsom. "By being a little bit proactive, we did reduce some of our call out," Taber said. Jenifer Gee can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Elevator Parking in Residential Buildings
Is This a Trend?
Gerald Salzman and David Taxman
The growth of high-rise condominiums in high-density urban areas continues to cause a parking dilemma in major cities throughout the U.S. Sites often are too small to accommodate ramps between floors. This has forced architects to design buildings with car elevators servicing flat-floor parking structures within them. For safety purposes, these vehicle elevators require valets to service the parking and retrieval of cars.
