The band formed in Aberdeen, Washington, the same town that produced Nirvana's Cobain and Krist Novoselic. For Nirvana and many other Seattle-area bands, the Melvins' sludge was inspirational; the younger bands took the Sabbath-styled heaviness of the Melvins, while adding an equally important pop song structure, which the group tended to lack. While all of their disciples became famous after Nirvana broke big in 1991 (including Mudhoney, which featured former Melvins bassist Matt Lukin), the Melvins only expanded their cult slightly. They did earn a major-label contract with Atlantic, but after releasing three records for the label, they were dropped in late 1996 and the group returned to indie status, landing with Amphetamine Reptile for 1998's Alive at the F*cker Club. The late '90s and early 2000s century saw a flurry of releases by the band: The Maggot, The Bootlicker, The Crybaby, Electroretard, The Colossus of Destiny, Hostile Ambient Takeover, Pigs of the Roman Empire, and Houdini Live 2005: A Live History of Gluttony and Lust, all of which (except for the fourth one) were issued on Mike Patton's Ipecac label.
In addition to their Melvins activities, singer/guitarist Buzz Osborne joined Patton (and former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo and Mr. Bungle bassist Trevor Dunn) for the experimental outfit Fantômas, resulting in a number of releases (1999's self-titled debut, 2001's The Director's Cut, 2002's Millennium Monsterwork by "the Fantômas Melvins Big Band" (recorded live in San Francisco on New Year's Eve 2000 but not released until two years later), 2004's Delirium Cordia, and 2005's Suspended Animation), while the Melvins' latest bassist, Kevin Rutmanis, joined Patton in another side project, Tomahawk. In 2006, Big Business bassist Jared Warren and drummer Coady Willis joined the Melvins, appearing on that year's Senile Animal album. The follow-ups, 2008's Nude with Boots, 2010's The Bride Screamed Murder, and a live album titled Sugar Daddy Live, were recorded with the same lineup and released by Ipecac.
The band returned in 2012 with a stripped-down lineup, dubbed Melvins Lite, for Freak Puke, which found Crover and Osborne recording without the boys from Big Business, instead adding standup bassist Dunn to their roster to round out the band's already formidable bottom-end sound. Mixing things up even further, the band teamed up with a host of guests, including the likes of Jello Biafra and J.G. Thirlwell, for Everybody Loves Sausages, an album of covers that arrived in 2013. Another new album, Tres Cabrones, released in November of that same year, saw them reunited with original drummer Mike Dillard -- who had previously appeared only on their early demo tapes -- while usual drummer Dale Crover took over on bass duties. The band followed up with another odd team-up, with Crover and Osborne joining up with the Butthole Surfers' J.D. Pinkus and Paul Leary on the eclectic Hold It In in 2014. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine & Greg Prato

Scott wants to eliminate Florida equipment tax
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 1:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 1:55 p.m.
JACKSONVILLE — Gov. Rick Scott wants to eliminate Florida's sales tax on equipment and machinery bought by businesses.
Scott on Wednesday in Jacksonville said he will ask the Legislature this year to fully exempt such purchases from sales tax.
Florida currently offers a sales tax exemption on equipment purchased for industrial use if it expands a manufacturer's output by at least 5 percent.
The productive output requirement had been 10 percent, but the Legislature reduced it to 5 percent last year.
Scott says the tax puts Florida at a competitive disadvantage with other states that already exempt such equipment.
The governor's office did not immediately say how much the exemption would reduce state revenues.
Scott says the change would encourage businesses to expand and create jobs in Florida.

I'm I selfish by not wanting to have my baby girl's first birthday with her 12 yr cousin.
Her cousin had asked me if they could have a joint party since thier birthdays are close to each other. I said no problem but later realised that she was serious and not just saying it. I kind of want to give sole attention to my baby since it's her first birthday. What do u think, feel; Help.

I agree. Just make sure the 12y/o cousin know that you will be there for her birthday and that she will be there for your daughters.posted 09/17/2007 by London06
I agree with the other comments. This is a big milestone and their ages are very different. I understand wanting all the focus on your 1yr old. The 12yr old might not be excited about having a "babyish" party either!posted 10/08/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
Absolutely understandable. Just say that you hoped to have a more babyish party than you feel a 12 year old would enjoy, and a simple focus on the baby having a fun and easy time, and lots of pictures. You can combine another year, when you don't have such a milestone to celebrate. They will understand- and if they don't, they aren't the type of people you'd eant to throw a party with anyway- good luck!posted 09/05/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
No! The selfish person here is the parent of the 12 year old, whose child, I bet, did not share their 1st bday with a 12 year old.posted 10/23/2007 by WunderTwins
I personally don't think combined birthday parties are ever really a good idea, especially when there's such a huge age gap. Your baby deserves your undivided attention on her big day, as does her cousin from her mom. Maybe try getting together with the cousin's mom and plan so that the parties are on different days and they can each attend the others'.posted 08/17/2011 by Mister's_Mommy
no i dont think ur selfish... ur baby's 1st bday is very special and ur baby should have all the attention on that special day. My baby will be a year on the 6th of may... and im so excited that she will have this day all to herself and you should feel this way too.posted 03/28/2011 by Alis0605
i dont think your selfish for wanting your own party to celbrate your childs 1st birthday at all. She is 12 and i think thats way to big of a gap for joint parties. Im having a joint party for my girls, they'll be 3 and 1, for multiple reasons, one being its easier to throw 1 party instead of 2 when theyr birthdays are only 9 days away from eachother, either way you go, his 1st birhtday will be as special as you make it, if u decide to do seperate parties, good, if you decide to do a joint party, good. but your baby will react to it just as you do, so just remember thatposted 11/02/2010 by BabyLove1011
I don't think you're being selfish at all. Although your child will never actually remember her first birthday, YOU will. Why not celebrate the special event in your own way? You've just endured 12 months of sleepless nights and hard work. Enjoying your child's first birthday is the sweet reward!posted 06/04/2010 by GooglyGoos
i agree with others here. your baby should have her own party. its a big thing when a child reaches the age of 1. i have 3 kids and they NEVER shared a party. thats just not right and very selfish. the parent should realize this. enjoy your child's day and have your child's own party.

Greed all around
Q&A | Former HUD Secretary Steve Preston says irresponsibility 'all the way up and down the line' caused the housing bubble
In this issue, we take another look at the housing mess in one of the hardest-hit states, Florida. Steve Preston, 50, headed the Small Business Administration and then the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) during President George W. Bush's second term, when the housing bubble grew largest and popped. Preston came to HUD having grown up in poverty and achieved business success. Now he is CEO of Oakleaf Waste Management. Here are excerpts from an interview before an audience of college business students.
What was your dad's background? He grew up very poor, the ninth of 11 kids, in a coal mining camp, basically a couple of little huts. He worked three jobs to put some bread on our table. His sense of family and faith pulled him through difficult times.
How did you become a Christian at age 13? My father had rejected the Appalachian fire-and-brimstone preaching, but I was spending summers with relatives including his sister, a very strong woman of faith. My father was very opposed to religion, but I think my aunt twisted his arm. He said, "This is just a feeling that will go away-but if you want to go to church I'll take you."
But why did you want to go? Because I had come to faith. I believed it was the truth.
Why did you believe that? I think I had a sense of wondering. When I went to visit family that summer and saw how they made sense of things and were rooted-the strength to living it provided-it all made sense to me.
You went to Northwestern, an affluent college with lots of rich kids, and you were a poor kid there . . . Back then, in the '70s, a friend of mine had some Adidas tennis shoes. I had some rip-off brand with too many stripes. I'll never forget: My second week at college, he was making a joke about my cheap shoes. I remember going home with him. His mother served breakfast in real china bowls. They had real tea served. Most of us would probably just consider them to be a nice upper-middle-class family, but I thought I had walked into Buckingham Palace.
I was in a similar situation and headed to the political left with thoughts of "class struggle." What kept you moving onwards and upwards? Knowing where I came from, I knew I never wanted to go back there. I wanted to move on to bigger and better things. I was terrified of failure. I was a straight-A student, worked like crazy, and had this fear that no one would hire me and I wouldn't get into any graduate schools. I understand now that I should have had a much deeper sense of faith in God's providence in my life than I did, but that's the reality of where I came from.
But the University of Chicago did admit you, and after receiving an MBA there you went to work at Lehman Brothers in its sky-rocketing 1980s era. It was both incredibly fun and incredibly terrible. We were understaffed. My 26th and 27th birthdays were all-nighters back-to-back. I remember thinking, "My life is not changing-my last birthday was horrible, too."
But you succeeded there and moved on to First Data Corporation as a senior VP. That was my first step as a genuine leader. I didn't have three MBAs working for me doing complex modeling. I had somebody who maybe balanced the books and had an associate degree. When I was at Lehman, I would never have told people that my father was from Appalachia. So for me it was a journey back to becoming a different kind of leader.
Then, seven years as executive VP at ServiceMaster . . . A couple of times I had to stick out my chin on a matter of principle. Once I told the CEO that if he made a certain decision I was going to have to resign. Thankfully, he made a different decision. ServiceMaster was a large public company founded by believers, and it had grown up in a Christian culture. Then over time we purchased other companies. Eventually we kept our Christian statement as an effort to create an ethos to knit the company together, but it ended up not being overtly Christian.
When you took over HUD, did your personal and business background help you to sort out responsibility for the housing collapse? Many different parties were responsible. Some people taking the loans couldn't afford them, but they thought they'd be able to flip their properties, so they weren't concerned. On the other side of the table, the folks giving the loans weren't really concerned, because they were going to sell the loans to another lender to take to market.
Did some people from poor backgrounds not understand the danger of taking on adjustable rate mortgages? When someone who doesn't come from a financial background sits down at the table to take a loan, and is told that the payment will be one amount, they're probably not going to go through the fine print and find that the payment might go up two or three times.
And some lenders knew that many of the loans wouldn't be paid back? They knew that people couldn't pay, but the loan officers were getting commissions by production, so care was lifted. Then, concerning the marketing packages, rating agencies didn't do a credible job. Following that, the investing groups didn't do sufficient diligence in understanding what was in the bundle of loans they were buying with their investors' money. All the way up and down the line, irresponsibility.
Did Democrats tend to blame guys at the top, and Republicans those at the bottom? Plenty of Republicans were critical of banking institutions. President Bush had been working for years to reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. So much money was tied up in those institutions that people try to blame them primarily, which isn't really fair. There's a danger in ascribing responsibility to one person: We all have to take responsibility for this.
Was the housing bubble evidence of original sin, with greed all over? A lot of greed. People all around this daisy chain were making money. When this collapsed, the damage was incredible. And part of our problem of responsibility is that people have just been walking away from their mortgages.
Does government have a role in providing housing? For the most part, the government is not competent to deliver housing. It is important for us as a society to get people off of the street. A step up from homelessness is public housing, but it perpetuates itself. We should be driving people ahead to give children better opportunities.
HUD secretaries often come from politics and go back into politics. Did it make a difference that you came from the private sector and went back into it? I wasn't concerned about tiptoeing, because I wasn't trying to get elected.
Listen to Marvin Olasky's complete interview with Steve Preston.

|Nick Ortner takes over as 4-H district president
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
After a year of serving as the vice president of the District 5 4-H Council and three months into his position as president of the Phillips County Council, Nick Ortner has been elected to take over as District 5 president.
He will officially be named the district president while at the Colorado 4-H state conference June 18-21 on the Colorado State University campus in Fort Collins.
Ortner, who said he has wanted to run for district president for a few years, was elected by his district peers in April. Counties included in District 5 are Phillips, Washington, Yuma, Kit Carson and Sedgwick. Each county has two senators that hold district voting responsibilities.
He will see an increase of responsibilities as he will be expected to attend statewide 4-H functions and plan and put on conferences and camps for 4-H members.
"Above and beyond just helping the district council, one of Nick's main responsibilities is to serve as a state 4-H officer," said Kindra Plumb, CSU extension 4-H program associate.
As he stays occupied with statewide duties, he will also serve as the liaison between the district and state.
Despite taking on a more prominent role within the organization, Ortner says he doesn't feel too nervous about his new position.
"I am a little nervous but not too much because I know there are people there to help, so it shouldn't be too hard," Ortner said.
Ortner believes that the leadership qualities he has been able to hone through his eight years in 4-H make him a qualified district president as he feels comfortable leading others.
He noted that he wanted to become district president to further grow as a leader and to help guide the program.
With two years of eligibility left in 4-H, Ortner could choose to run for the state president or vice president positions after his year as district president. He stated that he hasn't put much thought toward state positions and that he will see how his time as district president goes before making any decisions.
Ortner said he first became interested in 4-H by watching his cousin at fairs when he was younger. He said being involved in 4-H has helped him grow and bring him out of his shell a little bit, noting that he has gotten much better at public speaking since joining the club.
"Being in 4-H has pushed me out of my comfort zone. I used to be a shy kid and now not any more," Ortner said.
"I think Nick will do an excellent job," Plumb said. "He is very responsible and has done a great job in his role as county council president. I know he will continue his tradition of excellence as district president."

When you talk West Virginia Class A track and field locally most of the attention normally goes to Wheeling Central, with Valley, Bishop Donahue, Weirton Madonna, Paden City and Cameron offering a little noise as well.
However, that conversation must now include a pair of former Class AA powers, each of whom has made their own respective noise in Charleston recently. Welcome Magnolia and Tyler Consolidated to the Class A track and field ranks.
Head Coach Matt Quinet's Blue Eagle boys finished third at the state meet a season ago after bringing home the gold in 2011 while J.C. Kimble's Silver Knight girls were second in 2011 and sixth in 2010.
Wheeling Central
Numbers are down, but spirits remain high at Wheeling Central where Coach Eric Belancic will try to keep his Maroon Knights at the top of the heap.
But Central will have to go on after losing three key components to its boys' team to graduation, including Daniel Scott who finished his career with the seventh highest mark in pole vault history at 14 feet, 7 inches. Also gone are Corey Bryan and Noah Clark.
A young squad will be led by senior Luke Harto in the long jump and sprints, however, he is the only upperclassman on the squad. Sophomores Adler Roth (distance) and Zach Fahey (sprints) return, but classmates Ryan Bartsch (sprints) and Peter Hartzell (shot put, discus) are new to the team as are freshmen Collin Spangler (sprints), Brent Blazier (shot put, discus) and Caleb Estep (distance).
The Maroon Knights girls were hit even harder by graduation, losing Addie Schneid, who was a relay specialist and a member of a highly decorated shuttle hurdle unit. Also graduated are Anna Pockl, Hannah Mason, McKensie Mason and Sarah Nolan.
Like the boys, Central's girls also have one senior in Aspen Matlock, who will lend her talents in the sprints and hurdles. Juniors are Ava Iuliucci (mid-distance), Bailey Clark (hurdles, sprints) and Courtney Garloch (distance) while returning sophomores include Holland Matlock (mid-distance) and Karina Smith (mid-distance).
Sophomore Kyli Glaser (mid-distance) is a newcomer and will join freshmen Natasha Georges and highly regarded sprinter Lindsey Baker, who Belancic is expecting big things from.
One of the area's best hopes for team, and plenty of individual, gold this year in Charleston is Quinet's Blue Eagles, who are no stranger to the top of the podium. And while the graduated trio of Alec Hinerman and Bill Feeney in the distance events and relay specialist and 400 runner Nick Blatt will hurt, there are plenty of stars remaining.
Leading the way is do-it-all athlete Stephen Rogalski, who has become well known throughout the state not only for his track ability but also as an All-State wide receiver in football and a key component to Magnolia's OVAC championship basketball team.
Rogalski finished second in the 200, second in the 400, seventh in the long jump and helped the 800-meter sprint relay unit to a second place finish a season ago. Another key component will be junior Kage Rohde, who was second in the long jump and fifth in the 400 last year.
The only other individual placer returning is senior James Haught who was sixth in the 800. Both Hinerman and Feeney placed in the distance events last year.
Rogalski and Rohde will be joined by senior Alex Pancake as returning members of the 800-relay squad while the sixth place 1,600-relay unit has Rohde and Haught, who is the only remaining athlete on the fourth place 3,200 relay team, back.
The remainder of Quinett's team includes Tyler Akers, Alex Anderson, Hunter Brill, Oscar Celedon, Mike Dantrassy, Gage Deem, Kenny Headley, Jarod Kacor, Ken Lafferty, Zac Lackhart, Paden McConaughtey, David McIvan, Hunter Melott, Jacob Pancake, Archie Petin Eric Piecarski, Devin Taylor, Charlie Wade, Michael Wade, Stephen White, Lane Whiteman and Brian Wilson.
Magnolia girls' coach Steve Ross is excited about the 2013 campaign with 12 returning members of his team and a strong freshman group that he is very excited about. Ross believes his team will be very strong in the distance events and have potential in the shorter events with the younger kids.
Senior distance runners Christa Harshberger (800, 1,600, 3,200) and Julianne McIlvain (1,600, 3,200) lead the way with classmate Sarah Goddard (100, 200, 400, 800, long jump) also a key component. Other distance runners include sophomore Katie Ensinger (1,600, 3,200) and freshmen Bri Ritz (400, 800, 1,600).
Juniors Lauren Cline (400, 800), Shelby Sands (400, 800) and Renee Smith (400, 800) are the mainstays in middle distance while classmate Emily Clegg is versatile (hurdles, 400, 800, high jump).
There are plenty of sprinters with Alyssia Murdock (200, 400) joining Goddard and junior Michaleen Taylor (200, 400) as the top upperclassmen. Sophomores Shannon Hoskings (200, 400) and Kiera Standiford (100, 200, hurdles) will be available along with freshmen Rachel Arbogast (100, 200, 400, high jump), Michelle Blizzard (hurdles, 100), Evan Dawson (100, 200), Sofia Herrick (100, 200, long jump), Anne Miller (100, 200), Cedar Sands (100, 200, hurdles, long jump), Courtney Slider (100, 200, hurdles, high jump, long jump), Mandi Theodoro (100, 200, long jump) and Hailey Waters (100, 200, long jump).
Returning in the weight events are seniors Emily Moulton, Tammy Tedrow and Haley White along with sophomore Traysa Robinson. Freshmen candidates are Blizzard, Dawson, Miller and Summer Timbs.
Tyler Consolidated
Kimble's girls did not fare as well last season as they had the previous two, but there are seven seniors and six juniors on his squad with experience and athletic ability over a variety of events.
Senior Haylea LeMasters returns after placing in three events in Charleston as a junior. LeMasters took fourth in the pole vault, eighth in the 100-meter high hurdles and teamed with Sami Jones, Allison Wable and Makayla Clegg for a runner-up finish in the shuttle hurdle relays. The good news for Kimble is that seniors Wable and Clegg both return this season.
Along with the shuttles, Wable will compete in the 1,600 and 300 hurdles while Clegg will run the high hurdles and high jump. Seniors Lauren Seckman (800, 1,600, 3,200) and Cortney Daugherty (800, 1,600, long jump) will be big parts of the distance events.
Classmate Torrye Cline will headline the sprints in the 100, 200 and 800 relay while the final senior in the group, Stephanie Kelley will handle the shot put and discus.
Other sprinters include juniors Carly Fletcher (400, 800 relay, 1,600 relay) and Hillary Casteel (200, 400 relay, 800 relay, long jump), sophomores Kerstyn Cline (100, 200, long jump) and Sydney Yoho (200) as well as freshmen Hannah Roberts (200), Sydney Glover (100, 200, 400 relay, high jump), Katelyn Gogan (200, relays), Hannah Casteel (200, sprints) and Madison Kissner (200).
Adding to the distance depth will be juniors Megan Carpenter (800, 1,600 relay, 3,200 relay), Kelly Rice (1,600, 3,200) and Caroline Bantug (800, 1,600, 3,200 relay), sophomores Haleigh Smith (800, 1,600, 3,200 relay) and Laura Jochum (1,600, 3,200) as well as freshmen Amber Watson (800, 1,600, 3,200, 3,200 relay), Becky Bolin (1,600, 3,200) and Rae VanCamp (400, 800).
Junior Megan Schlabowski will throw the shot and discus along with candidates sophomore Hannah Dennis and Breanna Yeater and freshman Kara Dalrymple. Sophomore Kaylee Hartsfield will add depth to the hurdles while freshmen Lacey Seckman, Baylee Roberts and Marisha Morris round out the roster.
Jill LeMasters has taken over the boys' program at Tyler Consolidated, which comes with a pair of highly decorated senior athletes.
Hunter LeMasters captured the Class AA state pole vault title last year in Charleston with a 13-6 effort after finishing in second the two previous seasons. He is a multi-talented performer who has also competed in the hurdles at the state meet and has even placed in the high jump.
Meanwhile, speedster Alex Doak has become one of the top local threats in the sprints and was third in the 400, fifth in the 200 and seventh in the 100 last year at the state meet.
They are joined by classmates Drew Casey, who is a veteran in both the shot put and discus, Christian Ice, who Jill LeMasters is hoping can be a key factor in the sprints and hurdles, and Jay Early, who is a thrower who was injured last year. Dustin Tawney and Gian Melchionna are first-timers who are still being evaluated while Scott Sole could also be a factor.
Junior Josh Ruble will be the second pole vaulter, and has already gone 11 feet while also helping in sprints, hurdles and relays.
A pair of juniors who are expected to be big contributors in the distance events are Dylan Reynolds and Ryan Dalrymple. The remainder of the junior class will be used mainly in relays and includes Swen Scheidemantal, Jacob Highley, Skyler Leasure and Mert Coskum.
There are three sophomores on the roster, all of whom look to back Casey in the weight events. The trio are Zack Zills, Nick Anderson and Ryan Rickets. Depth will be provided by freshmen Kyle Frum, Josh Peck, Daron Weekley, Chase Cooper, Julian Work and Scott Gorby.
''The team has a strong group of returning seniors who have experience and many accomplishments among them,'' Jill LeMasters said. ''Moving from Class AA to A will be a big step for us and we will be running with some tough competition in the likes of Magnolia, Doddridge County, Williamstown and St. Marys, which are all Class A and all in close proximity to us.
''But we feel like we can compete, even though we don?t have a big group of kids, we have enough experience that I believe will help us accomplish many strides.''
Things are also looking up for Cameron, as third-year Coach Tom Hart not only welcomes back a pair of former standouts, but also has a new facility to help get his Dragons ready for the upcoming season.
''The numbers have drastically improved for the boys' team,'' Hart said. ''We have 13 kids this year, and while only three of them have participated before we are really looking forward to the season. Another big advantage this year is the new mini-track located in the main gymnasium of the new high school.''
Weightman Hunter Chambers is the only senior on the roster with a five-man junior class that includes a pair of previous performers. Zach Hall was an Ohio Valley Athletic Conference placer and a state qualifier as a freshman before missing his sophomore campaign due to reconstructive knee surgery.
Hall will run the 100 and 200-meter dashes along with the 400 and 800-meter sprint relays and long jumping. Classmate Skylar Canas is back after taking season off and will be looked to in the 800, 1,600 as well as anchoring the 3,200 relay.
The other juniors are Dylan Coulter (800, 1,600, 3,200 relay), Joe Yoho (400, 800, 1,600 relay, 300IH) and Shane Williams (400 relay, 800 relay, 300IH, 110LH). Sophomores Clayton Ward and Kyle Schlieper will be used in the sprints and shorter relays, with Ward also in the long jump, while classmate Kyle Miller will run the 400, 800 and longer relays.
A total of four freshmen will all be involved in the shot put and discus. Jared Neehouse, Brandon Stern, Dalton Coulter and Devin Pettit all have the ability to join Chambers in the weight events. Neehouse will also run the 400 and the longer relays as well.
The girls' team will have a new look with long-time coach David Evans hanging up his clipboard after 22 seasons and handing the reins over to Matt Burge.
Leading the way will be three of the four members of Cameron's state-qualifying 3.200-meter relay unit in Rena Reid, Jordyn Higginson and Jenson James. Reid also advanced to Charleston in the 800-meter run. Cheyenne Debolt and Sammy Debolt return in the shot put and discus while first-year performers Leah Stern (sophomore) and freshman Maddie Ross will add depth in the sprints and relay teams.
Paden City
Boys' coach Kim Huffman has a big problem on her hands, but it is a good one - how to handle and what events to run 19 kids in, the most the Wildcats' roster has seen in over five seasons.
Along with the larger than normal roster, Huffman has a squad that consists of just one senior, one junior, six freshmen and a big, athletic group of 11 talented sophomores. There are, however, only six letter-winners back.
''It is the most kids we have had in a while and I am very excited about that,'' Huffman said. ''Our main focus will be on sprint relays and hurdles. We have not had a shuttle team in a few years, but we will this year. We have a couple of freshmen that I am excited about and some other kids as well.''
The freshmen are hurdlers Logan Carroll and Deven Price while the other timber-toppers include sophomores Brandon Cross, Kennedy Cain and Dean Frye, all of which are back from a season ago. The other two returners are junior Austin Quinn and sophomores Denton Thomas and Kane Pyles.
Drew Bidwell is the lone senior on the roster while the remainder of the junior class includes Matthew Greathouse, Michael Lanham, Zach Heasley, Kalob Byers and foreign exchange students Michael Hung and Peak Chansawang. The remaining freshmen are Tyler Kiger, Kris Byers, Travis Leonard and Dakota Gatain.
While experience is certainly lacking for Coach Jason Salva's girls, there are 10 underclassmen joining a junior and two seniors who are ready to learn.
Leading the way will be senior returnees Logan Cosper and Lynnsie Parsons along with junior Josie Fox and sophomore letter-winners Kayla Hizer and Mallory Estel.
New to the squad and hoping to learn quickly are sophomore Abigail Demko and freshmen Aubrey Ritchie, Chelsea Dennis, Erin Richmond, Michaela Askew, Miranda Reynolds, Natasha Tallarity and Taylor Cosper.
Weirton Madonna
Coach Eric Nejus will again look toward his relay teams on both the boys' and girls' sides to lead the way for the Blue Dons.
On the girls' front, Madonna sent all five of its relay teams to Charleston a season ago and returns everyone in a pair and three girls in the remaining three baton-passing events. The biggest loss, however, is Kaitlyn Conner, who is on the track team at Wheeling Jesuit University.
Conner was a member of both the 400 and 800 teams that both finished seventh last year along with taking fourth place in the long jump.
She also anchored the shuttle hurdle relay team that took fifth place. The 1,600 team returns everyone in sophomore Cammie Dowiak, Molly Paven, Basil and Anile while the 3,200 is full with Dziatkowicz, Dowiak, sophomore Gabrielle Kotten and junior Shelby Kirk.
Among the biggest returning factors is senior Taylor Pavan who brought a state championship back to Hancock County with a 108 feet, 9 inch twirl of the discus and also qualified in the shot put.
The remainder of the girls' team includes sophomore Hannah Barger and freshmen Chloe Conner, Tessie Tokash, Elijah Dillie, Hannah Barger and Domonique Brown.
''Our relay teams should do very well and we feel that the shuttles are our strongest event,'' Nejus said. ''Sophomore Hanna Barger qualified in the 800 last year, but could not make the trip to Charleston, and Chloe Conner looks to step in and follow in her sister's (Kaitlyn) footsteps.
''Overall, our numbers are down, but we return some experienced running with plenty of state qualifiers in the relay events. In addition, we have some exciting underclassmen that could contribute right away.''
Similar to the girls, the Blue Dons boys sent four relay teams to the state meet and will return three athletes on each one of them. Nate Nero is the only graduated member from a 400 team that took fourth while the eighth place 1,600 team had only one defector.
Senior Garrett Hypes, junior Elliott Nero and sophomore Marquise Jeter are all back in both the 400 and 800 relays while junior Gabe Hypes, Garrett Hypes and Elliott Nero return in the 1,600 relay and Gabe Hypes, sophomore Anthony Basil and senior Alan Green are back in the 3,200 relay.
Also available for events are seniors Dominic Notay and David Cullinan, juniors Garrett Bever, Stevie Maus, Josh Smearman, Geuntue Kim, Ross Comis and Marcello Biondillo and freshmen Lorenzo Basil, Ricky Daddario, Thaiddeus Dillie and Adam Davis.
Green and Smearman will be the main distance runners while Anthony Basil and Lorenzo Basil will handle the middle-distance events. Bever will be the main competitor in field events.
''Senior Garrett Hypes and Alan Green are our leaders after losing Nathan Nero to graduation,'' Nejus added. ''Relays will again be key here, and the 400 should be our best event. Numbers are actually up on the boys' side and the kids are maturing and looking to improve on some state finishes this season.
''We have some exhilarating underclassmen and some new faces that potentially could make us more competitive right away.''
The trio of senior Makenna Dziatkowicz, junior Gianna Anile and sophomore Molly Pavan are all back in the two shorter relays with Dziatkowicz, Anile and junior Francesca Basil all back in the shuttles, as only Conner is missing.
Life without state champion sprinter Casey Pingley begins, but for Coach Leslie Lively the cupboard is anything but bare.
Senior Spencer Mason returns and is looking to return to Charleston and take care of some unfinished business himself. Mason finished second in the shot put and third in the discus in 2012, but is looking for gold this time around.
Lively is also counting heavily on his other four seniors with Brett Christensen in the distance events, Troy Hubbard in the hurdles, especially the 300s, Caleb Norris in the hurdles and Chuck Roberts who can run distance, sprints and will even give the pole vault a shot this season.
Just two juniors are on the roster in weightmen Wesley Dulaney and Russel Stout while the sophomore class includes Nathan Arnolds (distance), Travis Slater (shot put, discus), Trey Smith (hurdles), Lathe Ueltschy (multi-purpose), Jack Wells (high jump, multi-purpose) and Tyler Williams (shot put, discus).
A large freshmen class has Tucker Cain (mid-distance, pole vault, long jump), Joey Goontz (hurdles, mid-distance), Kale Lloyd (sprints, discus), Cole McGee (distance, hurdles, high jump), Joey Preat (hurdles, high jump), Austin Rogers (pole vault, sprints, mid-distance), Trey Streets (sprints, long jump) and Rocky DeBolt (shot put, discus).
''We are going into the season looking to defend the OVAC Class A title we won a season ago,'' Lively said. ''This is a hard-working group that is going to be fun to watch and we are very excited with all of the great athletes we have this season.
''Many of these kids participated in the indoor track season this year and have been running and throwing since last season ended in Charleston. We have a lot to prove, but the kids will do their best at all of our meets.''
Deb Kocher returns as head coach of the girls' squad with just one returning state qualifier and a youthful team that does not include a senior.
Junior Abby Willey advanced to Charleston in the long jump and will be joined by classmates Mary Bassett and Amy Mason, whom Kocher feels could make some noise in the discus. Sophomore Sammi Roberts leads a class of three that also includes Samantha Dulaney and Andrea Loy. Roberts will be counted on to heave the shot put.
A strong, and speedy, freshman class has Savanna Bates, Olivia Brooks, Erin Brown, Katelyn Brown, Marah Dudgeon, Rebecca Gill, Cassidy Price and Bailea Underwood.
Bishop Donahue
Former standout Ken Barrows takes over both the Bishop Donahue boys' and girls' programs and will be dealing with small rosters and little experience.
While the Bishops will be missing a couple of athletes who chose not to participate this season, the biggest loss is that of graduated Tyler Zahnow who took third in both individual hurdling events, fourth in the 100 and anchored Donahue's second place shuttle hurdle relay team last year at the state meet.
Senior Saquan Hill is back and could be someone to keep an eye on in the high jump, and is also the only remaining member of the Bishops' 2012 shuttle team. Jacob Zombek is a three-year competitor in the weights and is back for his senior campaign.
Junior David Beazel is the only returning individual placer at the state meet, taking eighth in the 800, and will continue in his specialty along with the 400 and 1,600. Classmate Gabe Mickey is a three-year returnee in middle-distance while Chris Vani is back in the shot put and discus.
Sophomore Bill Bauerle is back in the hurdles while Chase Padlow is available in the throws and freshman David Coleman will run sprints.
The girls' team will be led by four-year letter-winner Becky Beiter and three-year performer Liz Potts. Beiter will again compete in the shot put and discus with Potts in the sprints. Alexa Tweedlie is back in the hurdles for her third season while junior classmate Shannon Barrows is in her second campaign in the hurdles and jumps.
Sophomore Taylor Koontz (mid-distance) and Rebekah Trader (distance) will be joined by freshmen Shelby Davis (hurdles, jumps) and Adrienne Rulong (sprints).

Planets, sweet! I love planets.
The last one reminds me a bit of the Death Star. Any parallels?
Its a WIP of a request a friend had. I am full filling that request. I still have around 5 more planets to go and asteroids.. And other things before I actually start putting the peices together in the map.
Barren planet.
Red barren planets: (two versions)
The sun:
Grii a communist planet:
Ryh A democratic City planet.
Ps: Thank you ascension for your wonderful tutorial that helped me get started!
Planets, sweet! I love planets.
The last one reminds me a bit of the Death Star. Any parallels?
Very nice star! I had a heck of a time creating a star for a recent project, but I needed it to be animated and in 3d, so a straight Photoshop job wouldn't be sufficient. You could probably still punch up its apparent brightness if you wanted:
I made a copy of the image and set it above the original with the Soft Light blending mode, then I used a Levels adjustment layer to gamma shift it and a Curves adjustment layer to push the highlights a bit more.
That Soft Light trick is handy to quickly increase the contrast and saturation of almost any image in a pleasant way. And if you blur the top layer just a bit, it can give a nice glamor to the whole thing.
@Quabbe Planets are good! Planets are fun!
@midgardsormr Thank you! Ill certainly go back and fix somethings!
Starting to work on this a bit again.
I've gotten all the planets done.. After doing the process for a bit its really simple and easy.. Even when fiddling.
Planet with fake water (Forgot technical name).
Barren Orange planet.
Ice Planet.
Fire Planet.
Purple planet of no description.
I also re-did the sun.. Not as good as midgardsormr's but.. Its okay I think.
Bright sun.
Dark sun.
Nice work! Your barren and ice planets look like they could have been lifted right out of EVE Online, actually.
As I consider these a bit more, the highlights look strange to me. It looks a bit like the planets are made out of plastic. I don't think a planet's atmosphere should probably have a specular component. Maybe if you set your highlight to overlay it would simply brighten up what's underneath instead of diffusing.
Also, the edges of your fire planet's thermosphere got cropped on the edges. It looks particularly strange on the left side, where you apparently rotated something after the crop occurred.
Yeah I noticed that.. I'll fix it when I start more work on the solar system.
Could anyone help me with something? Instead of the blue circles indicating the orbits I want planet trails to make it look better and hint at the orbit of it so it leaves assumptions and such. I've tried alot of things with no luck..

Adding Pattern: Renewing the Look of a Painted Room with Stencils
Apartment Therapy's Home Remedies
Are your walls getting you down? Tired of looking at the same paint color, but have no desire to repaint? Why not consider sprucing up the look of your space by adding pattern with stencils?
Unlike wallpaper, which is often used to accent a space with pattern, a stencil painted pattern appears more natural — and is also a relatively inexpensive way to make a big impact. But the real beauty of a stenciled pattern is the ease at which you can simply change your mind. If you get tired of the pattern, just paint over it.
If you're unsure about your DIY capabilities, consider testing your hand at stencils on a piece of furniture or small statement wall before you tackle an entire room. Perhaps one of these images will spark your creativity and inspire you to tackle your less-than-inspiring space.

I've got more problems. I've got a test install of ZCS GA 5.0.2 FOSS running on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. I've got 1 active test user (me). I am testing using both the web interface and Mail.app on a 10.5 machine. Its been working pretty well until now. Nothing works anymore, but the zmcontrol shows all services running fine. I don't want to restart zimbra just yet because I want to know why the service is failing with only 1 user on the system.
Login page for web mail:
Says "A network service error has occurred (zclient/io)."
Admin page:
Never gets passed the 'Loading...' page
IMAP (via Mail.app):
Nothing. Shows servers offline
zmcontrol status shows all services running.
Server is a dual proc Xeon 3Ghz PowerEdge 2850 with 2GB ram. Storage is RAID 5 on 143GB U320 SCSI drives. I'm eventually going to be serving mail for around 35 users so I would imagine this server setup is sufficient.
Thanks in advance for your help. Again, I'm really impressed with Zimbra but also a little concerned I'm having these issues already with only one user on the system...
Restarting the service did fix things (I'm impatient) but I still want to know why this happened. I found another post that referenced 'ulimit' and I upped it from 1024 to 64000. No idea if that will fix the issue.

Hey guys wanted to see how Oregon's archery season is shaping up?
I have been trying to find a good blacktail buck for both my wife and myself but no luck so far. I did how ever arrow my first Roosevelt bull second day of season this year! I am pretty pumped up and calling in lots of bulls. Called in two five points this passed week for a hunting partner, they came into around 20 yards but lost light!
here is a photo of my bull.

Jelena Jankovic's nasty Serbian Slide hit hyperdrive when the she was shocked by Argentine Gisela Dulko 6-4, 7-6 (5) in Miami after leading 5-2 in the second set and holding 3 set points and then 5-2 in the tie-break. It's her second consecutive loss after failing to get past her opening round in Indian Wells last week losing to a fresh-faced, snake-wearing Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
What's most disturbing aren't necessarily the losses (though they are troubling, no doubt) but HOW she's losing them: straight sets, losing big leads. It seems JJ's missing the fight and desire to dig her ANTA heels in and grind out a match - "winning ugly" as they say though her version seems more like "whining ugly" these days.

Just as i was thinking Ana might have stopped her Serbian Slide, she crashes out again. I don't even wanna begin to talk about Safina and JJ.ReplyDelete
@Jannia: It certanly affects her tennis a lot, besides, she said it herself in her diary.ReplyDelete
As she said she checks if her mom needs anything during the night, so she doesn't get enough sleep, ofcourse she's struggling on the court then.
I just hope her mom will get over this health problem, and then without that on her mind, game will come back, no doubt.

- Attach headlamp to dry bag for a soft, romantic ambiance or for non-blinding light while you and your buddies read
- Dry bag doubles as a stuff sack or water-resistant storage
- Multiple light settings accommodate your needs
- Switch lock prevents battery burn-out in your backpack
- Reviews
What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
So Awesome!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Our family has used this so many times. The headlamp is awesome alone, but include the dry bag(lamp)... super awesome! It gives of a really good light that doesn't hurt your eyes but you can see really well. Highly recommend.
great idea!!!
Love this thing. Dry bag that doubles as a lantern globe. Used this a couple weeks ago at the Red Rock Rendevous. Besides the fact that my tent flapped all night in the wind I was able to see read and hang out in nice light. Also the fact that the bag is a dry bag is a huge plus for storing electronics like the light or anything else you don't want to get wet. The T-trail light is really nice and bright and like the light weight and comfort of it. Make s a nice pure clean light for an LED. Ran with it recently and works great. you need to hit the button twice to turn it on. weird at first but I guess its a safety so it wont turn on by mistake if something hits the switch in your pack.

Great bull! I'm envious.
Guys my cousin is out hunting unit H1 right now. He is only seeing a few elk. Do any of you have some good tips for locating the bulls this time of year in that unit. From talking to him it sounds like they could of maybe migrated out of that unit. Has anybody hunted that unit before this time of year? He has put a lot of miles on the boots so far just not seeing much.
Great bull! I'm envious.

Good Job!

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- It's the season for spending. And year after year, consumers are reminded of the dangers of holiday debt.
But responsible spending doesn't have to mean putting your credit card on ice.
If you have a credit card with rewards or points attached, between travel and buying gifts, experts say this is the time of year to make it work for you.
"You can even start using those rewards points to buy gifts so it really is a good idea to use your cards, as long as you don't overspend, and as long as you keep track of what you're spending," says credit card expert Barbara Herzog.
That's the key. Whether you're using credit or cash make a budge, review it often, then reevaluate your spending. And, while you're shopping in the store, beware of credit card offers from retailers.
Herzog says, "The positive that they try to sell you on at the register is that you can get 10 or 15 percent off right away. And, you know, that is very enticing. But, it's still a good idea to read that credit card agreement first."
The agreement will clue you in on the card's interest rate. And, that little holiday debt can balloon even bigger if you don't pay it off right away.
It's something to keep in mind for any holiday purchase on credit.
And, here are some other steps to help you avoid holiday debt dangers.
Make a list. It will temper the urge to splurge.
Use layaway. That way you'll limit your credit card use.
And, if you must charge your purchases, pick one credit card to do it.

ATLANTA -- The National unemployment rate for our soldiers coming home from war stands at 10%.
Today, thousands of veterans packed the World Congress Center looking for a job and many of them found one. And it was more than many veterans expected.
It was the biggest Job Fair of its kind ever in Georgia to get Veterans back into the civilian workplace.
And, it was more than just getting information -- it was all about actually getting a job.
More than 300 companies that included banks, insurance companies, retailers and health care providers were there, ready to offer immediate employment.
More than 5,000 vets were there and by mid-afternoon, they had polished resumes and completed interviews. Many walked out with solid job offers and a chance to make that move into the civilian workplace.
"I walked around and they said come over and check us out so I went and check them out and I got a job offer," said Tamika Watkins, a US Air Force veteran who had served in Iraq.
"I had a good conversation with the folks over at CSX. I worked in logistics in the Army and they were interested in that, so this kind of looks good and I have my fingers cross to do that and get a job with them," said Paula Gilles, an Army veteran who had served in Afghanistan.
All 300 companies are now being canvassed to see just how many vets were hired.

Inside ASIS&T
An Asian-Pacific ASIS&T Chapter?
by Emil Levine
Twenty-two participants attended a roundtable discussion explaining the Association for Information Science and Technology and considering the formation of an Asian-Pacific ASIS&T chapter. The session was held at the 5th International Conference on Asia-Pacific Library and Information Education and Practice (http://aliep2013.com) July 10-12, 2013, in Khon Kaen City, Thailand.
Dr. Yin Leng Theng, associate professor, Division of Information Studies, Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, chaired the roundtable. She was joined by former ASIS&T president Candy Schwartz, Graduate School of Library and Information Science, Simmons College, and a keynote speaker at the conference, and Emil Levine, former chair and advisor of the European Chapter, who made the presentation. ASIS&T promoted the roundtable by sponsoring a light buffet for the attendees. Dr. Kulthida Tuamsuk, dean, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Khon Kahn University, Khon Kaen, Thailand, graduate of Simmons College and chair of the organizing committee for the conference, also assisted with the coordination of the roundtable.
The event was an outgrowth of the ASIS&T European Chapters 2012 annual meeting held in conjunction with the Libraries in the Digital Age (LIDA) conference in Zadar, Croatia, in June 2012. At this meeting, attended by Levine, Dr. Theng and Dr. Makiko Miwa, The Open University of Japan, a discussion began on creation of an Asian-Pacific Chapter (see http://www.asis.org/Bulletin/Aug-12/AugSep12_Levine.html).
Levine outlined the structure and program of ASIS&T, how to create a chapter and student chapter, ASIS&T publications and activities, and costs of membership.
Dr. Songphan Choemprayong, a graduate of the School of Library and Information Science, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and lecturer in the Department of Library Science, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, agreed to serve as a coordinator for creation of an Asian-Pacific Chapter.
Christopher Khoo Soo Guan, also from Wee Kim Wee School, Singapore, and Hao-ren Ke, chair of the ASIS&T Taipei Chapter, also attended the roundtable and contributed to the discussion.
See Attendee Comments for more from the roundtable. Additional photos of the roundtable and information on A-LIEP 2013 are posted at http://aliep2013.com/.
Attendee Comments
Yin Leng Theng interacted with the attendees to determine their ideas of the opportunities and challenges in creating an ASIS&T Asian Pacific Chapter. This interaction elicited the following brief discussions, conclusions and actions:
- Although JASIST is the top journal in the field, it may be too technical and difficult for many potential members. There is a need for a mid-range journal.
- The Taipei Chapter has not been so active but will increase its activity.
- Through ASIS&T, students can take advantage of the networks, meet famous people and start student chapters.
- Taipei, Bangkok and Singapore will promote student chapters.
- Former president Schwartz stated that capacity building and relevant formulation of information policies are essential.
- Indonesia noted their attendees needed to know more and that there is a lack of awareness about ASIS&T.
- Malaysia considered that one might increase awareness through academic staff and LIS schools.
- Social media should be exploited in the creation of an Asian-Pacific Chapter.

Hello beautiful people,
I have almost chosen my amp to start building my dream system...speakers are almost decided (let's say 70%)...now it's time to understand pro and cons of different sources. Hopefully I will get some good advices here as usual.
I actually have a NAS and a Squeezebox Touch and I find it quite an handy solution. So streaming is definitely staying. What I also found out is that I love the TT...so for sure one is coming in the next 2/3 months. Was thinking something like Clearaudio Performance maybe with MC catridge.
The difficult choice is the streaming...will I go for an all-in one solution (Linn Akurate DS or second hand Klimax DS) or maybe better a good NOS DAC (like pathos or AN or Jadis) and a "medium" streamer? At this regard...how do you think the sound would compare between the 2 solutions?
Must say that hi-fi will be for music only...so no needs to connect TV. I might keep a cheap DAC (still have the rDAC) to connect pc just in case. Not a big deal anyway as SQ in this case won't be important if I am playing from PC.
If I would keep a SB Touch and add let's say a Chord DAC or a Jadis DAC, would ie be comparable to the Akurate DS for example in terms of sound quality? Or the SBT will be the weakest link anyway?
The only thing that would make me think about wanting a DAC is the opportunity to connect a "cheap" cd player purely as backup, to try CDs when somebody comes but I don't want to rip them on the NAS. So here SQ won't be my first concern but I would have something good anyway (was thinking about an Audiolab or Marantz or Rega Apollo).
Another plus for separate solution is that with DAC + reader I will have more flexibility to update if something more advanced will come...
Which direction would you take? Any suggestion?
Thanks as usual

CHEVY CHASE, Md. (WUSA9) -- Only one northbound lane remains closed after a massive water main break in Chevy Chase that began Monday night.
But the mandatory water restrictions are still in place.
At one point, the water spewed more than 30 feet in the air and 60 million gallons boiled out of a pipe big enough to walk through. One third of Montgomery and Prince George's County daily water supply bled into Rock Creek over the course of about four and a half hours.
The roiling water undercut a tree and sent it slamming into the power lines. It also eroded the ground out from under a gas line so water, gas and electric crews have all been struggling to patch things up.
"We got a big hole in the ground. Sidewalks cut away, it's one big mess," a resident said.
Neighbors were left to walk out from darkened homes to cars parked far down the road.
The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) slapped mandatory water restrictions on both Montgomery and Prince Georges County, so try not to flush the toilet or wash your clothes.
"For the fire department, the hospitals, we need to keep the pressure up," a WSSC official said.
The break is in a pipe manufactured back in the 70s and 80's.
The pre-stressed concrete with reinforcing steel was the industry standard back then but it turns out it degrades quickly.
Across the country, people are having a hard time with these pipes. We're trying to replace them. But like bell bottoms and leisure suits, it was not a great era. Not a great era.

Just after midnight, Beryl rolled ashore near Jacksonville Beach, FL. Numerous wind gusts to near 60 mph were recorded as the storm moved into downtown Jacksonville. At the height of the storm, some 35,000 people were left without power.
Beryl is weakening, yet still moving westward, which means we will see some gusty wind today and some late day thunderstorms, as the bands from Beryl approach. Right now, the VIPIR 7 Weather Team does not anticipate any tropical weather concerns.
Make sure to stay with News Channel 7 throughout the day for the very latest.
