Incredible Band !
"Hey this band is so exciting and energy filled whether they are on a big stage outdoors in front of thousands of people or in a small wine bar!! I am a singer and I want to say that I know great musicians when I hear them!! There is no equal when it comes to Ted's harmonica playing and singing. He does not just stand there he even gets off the stage and goes out into the audience playing his harmonica and it keeps you spell bound and mesmerized and as a hypnotist I know about that!!

Fantastic music for our party! Everyone loved it!
This band filled our house with some of the best blues music anywhere and really made the party perfect. Our friends raved about them. We didn't think our smallish house was large enough for a band, but they adapted perfectly by bringing a smaller combo and gave an outstanding performance that we all loved. People danced, talked and had a wonderful time. The Ted Vaughn Blues Band turned our party into a really memorable event!

In his new, warts-and-all — literally, I'm sorry to report — autobiography, Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash talks about arriving here for the band's inaugural show at a club called Gorilla Gardens.
In his new, warts-and-all — literally, I'm sorry to report — autobiography, Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash talks about arriving here for the band's inaugural show at a club called Gorilla Gardens. The guitarist actually spends more time describing a pre-show party hosted by a friend of Duff McKagan:
"The day we rolled in, they threw us a barbecue in our honor that, as far as I could tell, never seemed to end … . There was an endless supply of pot, a ton of booze, and people sleeping, tripping or [having sex] in every corner. It was a fitting Guns N' Roses after-show party … that started before our first show."
Not long after that 1985 debut, Guns N' Roses was a "buzz band" (in more ways than one), playing a Geffen Records showcase back in its native L.A. Slash boasts he was in great form: "I did a big hit of smack before we went on, which, mixed with the liquor I had already been drinking, made my stomach so rotten that I'd turn around and blow chunks over the back of my amps every five minutes."
Not long into this book ("Slash," released by Harper Entertainment on Oct. 20), one starts to ponder if there are a few better things to be — in terms of the entire package of the human experience — than a rock star.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Infections are the culprit in Alzheimer's disease, Harvard study suggests
- 1,000 fraternity, sorority members trash Lake Shasta campsite
Most Read Stories
Fortunately, the same Seattle that launched Guns N' Roses has a healthy roster of bands that don't aspire to stardom and mindless hedonism. Though most wouldn't mind making a living through their music, the ultimate goal seems to be artistic purity and a heightened state of awareness.
To be good, in other words.
And if you're on the prowl for that good music, you're in luck — seems like just about every high-quality act in Seattle has a show this crazy week.
• The weekend gets off to an excellent start, with the Kindness Kind playing a free happy-hour show at Fremont's Nectar Lounge today at 5 p.m. The Kindness Kind is an exotic pop band, with the luxurious voice of Alessandra Rose floating over Euro-electro grooves.
• Fleet Foxes and Cave Singers, two of Seattle's breakout bands of 2007, share a bill at the Crocodile tonight (10, $10). With former members of Hint Hint and Pretty Girls Make Graves, the bluesy-roots trio Cave Singers went from zero to Matador Records in about a month. Many around Seattle are waiting to see who will sign Fleet Foxes, a Robin Pecknold-led psychedelic-folk band that oozes potential.
• For all your hip-hop needs, Kanye West-style rising star J. Pinder, the savvy Massliner Gabriel Teodros (you may know him from Abyssinian Creole), the GNR of Seattle rap (minus the drugs, of course), Dyme Def and mother-son duo Beyond Reality jam at the Vera Project tonight (7:30, $6).
• The Hands rock it Rolling Stones style — well, just about everyone tries to, but the Hands actually succeed at this. After local hits like "Lies Lies Lies" and "So Sweet," the Hands have been recording new songs and should have a CD out in early '08. They'll be playing new and old material at the Funhouse tonight (9:30, $8).
Headlining the show is a new Portland band called Pierced Arrows … well, "new" is a little misleading, as Fred and Toody Cole, who played together in Dead Moon for 20 years, pick up where they left off here, now with Kelly Halliburton on drums.
• Fast-rising indie-pop band Throw Me the Statue, which maybe sounds a little too much like Aqueduct for Barsuk Records, recently made it Seattle-style by signing with Secretly Canadian — home of Nikki Sudden & the Jacobites and fellow Seattleite Damien Jurado. Catchy, well-crafted TMTS songs such as "Yucatan Gold" and "Lolita" have earned praise from Pitchfork and Stereogum, though Scott Reitherman's band is still somewhat under-the-radar in its hometown.
Reitherman, a California transplant, e-mailed that "at least part of why my friends and I ventured out here was that it seemed like music had been made and music had been accepted … here as well, and this is music that was stripped of its pomp like the GNR road map to success. Humble, honest music seemed like it had been able to gain a foothold in the Seattle post-grunge scene … "
The Statue band is on the opening end of a bill fronted by the Cops and BOAT at the Vera on Saturday (7:30 p.m., $6). After its set at the Vera, Throw Me the Statue heads over to the Crocodile as part of a free show with the Shaky Hands and Charlene (former Aveo members).
• It's not like your Earth, in most cases. The Earth of Dylan Carlson brings its serious drone game to Chop Suey on Saturday (9 p.m., $10). Carlson has never aspired to rock stardom, but he did have a Slash-like appetite for drugs that seriously hampered his career. After years of silence, Carlson says he has kicked his habit and recently released albums that — though certainly not for everyone's taste — push the boundaries of pop music, finding intelligence in wordless rock.
Carlson, by the way, could make a couple boatloads of money on an autobiography. But Kurt Cobain's good friend has what Slash didn't seem to pick up during his short stay in Seattle: dignity.

Poem Title:
Tim Turpin he was gravel-blind, And ne'er had seen the skies : For Nature, when his head was made, Forgot to dot his eyes. So, like a Christmas pedagogue, Poor Tim was forced to do - Look out for pupils; for he had A vacancy for two. There's some have specs to help their sight Of objects dim and small : But Tim had specks within his eyes, And could not see at all. Now Tim he wooed a servant maid, And took her to his arms; For he, like Pyramus, had cast A wall-eye on her charms. By day she led him up and down. Where'er he wished to jog, A happy wife, altho' she led The life of any dog. But just when Tim had lived a month In honey with his wife, A surgeon ope'd his Milton eyes, Like oysters, with a knife. But when his eyes were opened thus, He wished them dark again : For when he looked upon his wife, He saw her very plain. Her face was bad, her figure worse, He couldn't bear to eat : For she was anything but like A grace before his meat. Now Tim he was a feeling man : For when his sight was thick It made him feel for everything - But that was with a stick. So, with a cudgel in his hand It was not light or slim - He knocked at his wife's head until It opened unto him. And when the corpse was stiff and cold, He took his slaughtered spouse, And laid her in a heap with all The ashes of her house. But like a wicked murderer, He lived in constant fear From day to day, and so he cut His throat from ear to ear. The neighbours fetched a doctor in : Said he, "'This wound I dread Can hardly be sewed up - his life Is hanging on a thread." But when another week was gone, He gave him stronger hope - Instead of hanging on a thread, Of hanging on a rope. Ah ! when he hid his bloody work In ashes round about, How little he supposed the truth Would soon be sifted out. But when the parish dustman came, His rubbish to withdraw, He found more dust within the heap Than he contracted for ! A dozen men to try the fact Were sworn that very day ; But though they all were jurors, yet No conjurors were they. Said Tim unto those jurymen, You need not waste your breath, For I confess myself at once The author of her death. And, oh ! when I refect upon The blood that I have spilt, Just like a button is my soul, Inscribed with double guilt ! Then turning round his head again, He saw before his eyes, A great judge, and a little judge, The judges of a-size ! The great judge took his judgment cap, And put it on his head, And sentenced Tim by law to hang Till he was three times dead. So he was tried, and he was hung (Fit punishment for such) On Horsham-drop, and none can say It was a drop too much.

"Map of Vatican City" Vatican City Favorite Tip by mccalpin
Vatican City Favorites: 181 reviews and 206 photos
Favorite thing: Please open in a separate window this official map of Vatican City: (click here -->)Vatican City map
1. St. Peter's Square is the roundish thing on the lower left.
2. Immediately above the "square" is the Basilica, known as "St. Peter's".
3. The entrance to the Vatican Museums is on the far right at #34. (#34A is the original entrance but is now an exit).
4. The Vatican Museums are in a number of buildings:
...a. Museo Gregoriano-Profano (#35)
...b. Pinacoteca (#36)
...c. Museo Gregoriano Egizio (the Egyptian Museum) (#29)
...d. Museo Gregoriano Etrusco (the Etruscan Museum) (#29)
...e. Museo Pio-Clementino (#30)
5. From the cluster of buildings near the entrance, the Museums then stretch to the west - see #27 and #20, and #25 and #21. The areas inbetween (#26, #18, etc.) are indeed open courtyards, and in good weather, the windows of the Museums are opened to see them.
6. If you follow this line again to the left, you will see the Sistine Chapel (#15), having passed over the line of courtyards at #14, #13, and #12 on an upper floor.
7. Normally, the exit from the Museums is out the other door of the Sistine Chapel. This leaves you in the alley along side the Basilica, near the Scala Regia (#3). You should expect to see the Sistine Chapel last in the Museums, as you are discouraged from turning around and trying to go back from the Chapel into the Museums.
8. On the other side of the Basilica, there is the Audience Hall (#86), where you go for the General Audiences (Wednesdays) in case of bad weather.
9. Just above the Audience Hall is the Domus Sanctae Martae (Saint Martha's House) (#77b), which is a hotel of sorts where all the cardinal electors will reside during the conclave.
10. To the right from #77b against the wall of the Basilica is the Ufficio Scavi (#81), which is the office where you enter for the tour of the necropolis under the Basilica.
11. To get to the Ufficio Scavi, enter at the Ingresso del Petriano (#90), which is blocked by wooden barricades and manned by two Swiss Guards on the inside and by an Italian policeman on the outside near the colonnade (see the photo). Tell the Swiss Guards that you want to go to the Ufficio Scavi (or show them your reservation letter, if you don't speak Italian or German), and you can walk in...don't walk anyplace else.
12. When you leave the Scavi tour, the guide may let you off in the grotto underneath the Basilica (this is the floor above the necropolis but below the ground floor of the Basilica). If the guide takes you back to the Ufficio Scavi, then you can exit through the Arco delle Campane (#88), an archway where you walk right past a Swiss Guard with the halberd always on guard.
Fondest memory: During the conclave, the Sistine Chapel will be closed (of course), it is possible that the Museums' traffic will be routed back to the exit at #34a, so that you'll find yourself back outside the Walls.
The cardinal-electors will be staying at the Domus Sanctae Martae, but voting in the Sistine Chapel, twice in the morning and twice in the evening. Thus, the cardinals will be going back and forth, I am guessing, by walking behind the Basilica from #77b via #72 (Largo S. Stefano degli Abissini), and #70 (Via delle Fondamenta) to the Sistine Chapel (#15). If this is the path they take, then access to the Ufficio Scavi may be halted, since the cardinal-electors - who aren't supposed to be speaking to any one - would be easily visible from the front door of the Ufficio Scavi.
In addition to the photos below, please see the Travelogue for more photos taken inside the Vatican where visitors normally can't go.

A huge congrats is in order for staffer Anirban Lahiri who earned a victory on Sunday at the 2015 Hero Indian Open, held at the Delhi Club in New Delhi, India. The victory was Lahiri's second European Tour victory in the last three weeks and comes just three months after his successful completion of Qualifying School for the European Tour. Lahiri, a 27-year-old native of India, began Sunday's final round seven shots off the lead, but his final round score of 69 forced extra holes, where he able to clinch victory with a birdie on the first playoff hole.
"Hopefully I'll have more days like this in my career, but for now I'm just going to enjoy the moment," said Lahiri. "Every Indian golfer puts winning the Indian Open on their bucket list, but not many get the chance to actually tick it off. I couldn't have asked for a better day."
At only 27 years of age, Lahiri has already earned an astonishing fourteen (14?!) professional victories and, with Sunday's win at the Hero Indian Open, coupled with his victory at the Maybank Malaysian Open, has moved him all the way to Number 31 in the Official World Golf Rankings. This win also vaulted Lahiri to #2 in the European Tour "Race to Dubai" and has effectively secured his Masters debut in April.
Lahiri currently plays the new 4th generation Z STAR XV golf ball with Spin Skin technology, Srixon Z Series irons, a Cleveland 588® Tour Action® wedge (53°), and a Cleveland 588 RTX™ 2.0 CB wedge (60°). Lahiri also wears a Srixon glove and carries a Srixon bag.

On Sunday, Kevin Stadler shot a final round 68 to close out a victory at the 2014 Waste Management Phoenix Open. In his 239th career start on the PGA Tour, Stadler came back from a two-shot deficit on Sunday to finish at 16-under par and capture his 1st PGA Tour victory, a mere five miles from his Scottsdale home. Not only did Kevin earn a victory at TPC Scottsdale, it will allow him to make history.
Aside from a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour, this win secured a spot for Stadler in the 2014 Masters Tournament this April. For the first time, he will get to join his father, 13-time PGA Tour winner and 1982 Champion, Craig Stadler, at Augusta National. This marks a special moment in golf history as the Stadler's will become the first father-son duo to play together in The Masters.
When asked if he had thought about joining his dad at Augusta, he replied, "That was in the forefront of my mind when I was out there". The elder Stadler kept it very simple when asked about his sons 1st win, "It's awesome".
While this year will mark Kevin's first appearance at Augusta, it will also be the last for the man who was affectionately nicknamed "The Walrus". "It's going to great for me because it's really my last one. I kept saying, you know, when he gets in, that's my last (Masters)."
In his victory, Kevin used the Z-STAR XV with SpinSkin, a Z-STAR Premium Cabretta glove, and a Performance Tour cap.
We are excited to announce that K.J. Choi has agreed to terms on a multi-year contract to join its professional tour staff. Considered one of Asia's most successful golfers, Choi has won 21 tournaments worldwide since turning professional in 1994. He started his career on the Korean Tour, picking up his first win at the 1995 14th Phantom Open. In 1999, Choi earned two victories on the Japan Golf Tour – later that year, he became the first Korean to gain a PGA Tour card. He counts the 2011 Players Championship among his eight PGA Tour victories.
"Having Mr. Choi as a member of our Srixon staff gives us a great sense of pride," said Todd Harman, President of Cleveland Golf/Srixon – U.S.A. "Mr. Choi's contributions to the game of golf have been significant throughout his career, but his deep commitment to numerous charitable causes have made him the type of brand ambassador that any organization would be honored to have as a member of their team."
Choi's contract includes playing a Z-STAR golf ball and wearing a Srixon glove, while maintaining a Srixon logo on his apparel and golf bag.
"I am very excited to be part of the Srixon team," said Choi. "The Srixon ball is a top quality ball and I feel very comfortable playing it."
In 2007, he founded the K.J. Choi Foundation with a focus on educational opportunities and better lives for children all over the world. The Foundation has donated over $1 million and extended its reach through scholarships and aid for victims of natural disasters. Choi was recently named the recipient of the 2013 Golf Writers Association of America's Charlie Bartlett Award, awarded to a professional golfer for his unselfish contributions for the betterment of society.
We are pleased to announce that Inbee Park has agreed to terms on a multi-year contract extension to remain a member of their professional tour staff. The 25-year-old South Korean is currently ranked No.1 on the Rolex Women's World Rankings and also the reigning LPGA Player of the Year. A nine-time LPGA Tour winner, Park had six victories in 2013, including three straight majors.
"We are thrilled that Ms. Park has decided to remain a member of Srixon's tour staff," said Todd Harman, President of Cleveland Golf/Srixon – U.S.A. "Ms. Park's outstanding 2013 season has not only validated her as the most dominant women's player, but it has also cemented her legacy as one of the premier golfers in the history of the game. Her decision to remain part of the Srixon family says a lot to us regarding how she feels about our products and our company."
Park's contract extension includes a Srixon Z-STAR golf ball and Srixon golf clubs, as well as Cleveland wedges. She will continue to wear a Srixon glove, carry a Srixon bag while also maintaining a Srixon logo on the side of her headwear.
"I am very excited to extend my relationship with Srixon. They have provided me the best clubs, balls and other products," said Inbee Park. "I thank the Srixon team for all their support and I look forward to playing Srixon products on tour."
Srixon congratulates staffer Gonzalo Fernandez-Castaño for winning the European Tour's 2013 BMW Masters at Lake Malaren Golf Club in Shanghai, China, over the weekend. The 33-year-old Spaniard shot a 4-under-par 68 in the final round for an 11-under 277 total and a one-shot victory, the seventh of his career.
It was an impressive all-around performance for Fernandez-Castaño, who trusted his Cleveland Golf/Srixon equipment to rank second in greens in regulation, third in driving accuracy and sixth in scrambling.
Not only was the win worth €851,346, it secured Fernandez-Castaño a spot in next week's World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions in Shanghai and propelled him to No. 32 in the Official World Golf Rankings. He also jumped to No. 4 in the Race to Dubai and rose to the top of the 2014 Ryder Cup European Team standings.
"It's perfect timing… Doesn't get any better than this," said Fernandez-Castaño.
Fernandez-Castaño currently plays a Srixon Z525 driver (9.5°), a Srixon I-701 2-iron (17°), Cleveland CG1 Tour irons (3-PW), Cleveland 588™ Forged wedges (52°, 58°) and a Srixon Z-STAR XV golf ball with SpinSkin technology. Fernandez-Castano also wears a Cleveland visor, a Srixon glove and carries a Cleveland Golf bag.
Graeme McDowell has agreed to terms on a multi-year contract extension with Srixon to remain a member of our PGA TOUR staff. McDowell, winner of the 2010 U.S. Open and 2013 RBC Heritage, is also a nine-time winner on the European Tour. G-Mac will continue to play Srixon irons and the Z-STAR XV in Pure White. He'll wear a Srixon hat and glove and carry a Srixon bag.
Todd Harman, President of Cleveland Golf/Srixon USA, stated, "We couldn't be more thrilled that Graeme has decided to remain a member of Srixon's PGA Tour staff. Graeme is one of those unique individuals who brings so much to the game of golf. His passion for competition, combined with his love for the game and respect for the fans, has made him the type of ambassador that any company would be honored to have on their staff. The fact that Graeme has chosen to remain in the Srixon family says an awful lot in regards to how he feels about our products, as well as our company."
McDowell was a member of Team Europe during the 2010 and 2012 Ryder Cup, where he contributed significantly toward his team's dramatic victories over the United States. G-Mac was voted 2010 Player of the Year by the Golf Writers Association of America and joint 2010 Player of the Year on the European Tour.
"I'm thrilled to remain a member of the Srixon family, one I've been part of since my college days" said McDowell. "I couldn't be happier with my current bag and I'm playing some of the best golf of my career. Much of that has to do with their exceptional equipment, coupled with the tremendous support they've continually given me. I'm now looking to taking things forward again and accomplishing many of my professional goals over the coming years."
In addition to G-Mac's golf accomplishments, he has given back to his communities through the G-Mac Foundation, which works to support children's medical research in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and the United States.
This morning, Srixon staff member Peter Jacobsen was named the 2013 Payne Stewart Award winner by the PGA Tour. The award, which began in 2000 after Payne Stewart's tragic death, is given each year to a professional golfer who best exemplifies the values of character, charity and sportsmanship. Peter and his marketing firm, Peter Jacobsen Sports, have supported non-profit organizations ranging from The First Tee to the Wounded Warrior Project, as well as contributing over $40 Million to a multitude of major charities. Jacobsen, 59, is the 16th player to be given the award, but, for Peter, it is just a bit more special.
Peter and Payne were the closest of friends on and off the golf course. When asked about Stewart during his press conference, Peter stated, "Payne and I did so many things together. I've watched the progression of that award over the years and I have always admired guys who won it and obviously admired Payne so much. We all did. He was like a brother, such a good guy." Away from golf, Peter and Payne were band members in "Jake Trout and the Flounders"; the group recorded two albums together in the 80′s and 90′s.
With golf, music or anything he does in life, Peter always has fun and brings joy to those around him. "Payne was a competitor; I'm a competitor. We're all competitors. We all want to win every time we tee it up but that's not feasible. But, you can always have fun." We are excited for Peter and are proud to have him represent our brand.
With the release of the new Z-STAR series less than two weeks away, many members of the golf community have taken notice. They have fallen head over heels for the new SpinSkin technology and cannot wait for the August 8th release. Of course, we are a bit biased but, don't just take our word for it. We've compiled a few 3rd party reviews for your reading pleasure. Also, you can see what fellow golfers are saying about the new Z-STAR series on our Z-STAR "microsite".

Deja Vu? No, you are seeing it right, another staff member shot 59 on the Web.Com Tour!
Congratulations to staffer Russell Knox for shooting a 59 in Friday's second round at the Albertsons Boise Open in Idaho. It's the second time in less than two weeks that a staff member has posted the magical number, as Will Wilcox also shot 59 in the final round of the Utah Championship just 12 days ago!
Knox, a 28-year-old native of Inverness, Scotland, carded two eagles, eight birdies and eight pars for a 12-under-par total on the par-71 layout at Hillcrest Country Club. He is the fifth player ever to shoot a 59 on the Web.Com Tour.
These rounds from Knox and Wilcox continue to build excitement for the upcoming launch of the new Z-STAR series, scheduled for August 8th. Both play the new Z-STAR with SpinSkin, with Wilcox gaming a Tour Yellow ball and Knox a Pure White ball.
These rounds continue an impressive year on the Web.com Tour. Staffer Michael Putnam has two wins and leads the circuit with $390,384 in earnings, more than $100,000 ahead of his nearest competitor. The 27-year-old Wilcox, a native of Birmingham, Ala., is sixth on the money list and in comfortable position to finish among The 25 and earn a PGA Tour card. Also among The 25 is 29-year-old Jim Renner of Boston, Mass., who currently stands 12th in money.
We are incredibly proud of our staffers for their achievements!

As she waits to pick up her kids from school, a Whiteland mother flips on an e-reader to squeeze in a few minutes of reading.
Dawn Temple prefers the feel of paper between her fingertips when she sits down to read. But she's working her way through "A Song of Ice and Fire," the next book in the George R.R. Martin series. Each book tops 800 pages, so borrowing the reader and a digital copy of the book from the library has been convenient.
Readers such as Temple are increasingly going digital. E-book checkouts are increasing in both Johnson County and Greenwood libraries while residents borrow fewer printed books each year. Since more readers are showing an interest in e-books, libraries are devoting more money to purchasing new titles.
Libraries face roadblocks to expanding their e-book selection, such as publishers who aren't offering all of their titles or charging as much as three times more for a digital copy, Johnson County Public Library virtual branch manager Davin Kolderup said. In July, the library system ordered 50 times more paper books than e-books.
Library creates virtual branch manager position
With the goal of getting more residents with a computer and Internet access to read or take courses, the county library system created a new position to promote those programs.
Davin Kolderup was named the newly created virtual branch manager in July and will oversee all the Johnson County Public Library districts' digital services, including e-books, online learning programs and library website.
The position will cover a lot of the same areas Kolderup worked with as a digital services librarian, with the added responsibility of promoting online programs.
With e-book usage rising since the library first offered digital copies in May 2012, one of Kolderup's main focuses will be continuing to promote digital options. The library featured e-books at its booth at the Johnson County fair this year, and checkouts hit a record high in July at nearly 2,000.
Kolderup also is redesigning the library system's website, with one of the main goals being to make it more friendly for mobile users. About 20 percent of visits to the library's home page come from smartphones or tablets. So with a new website, people should see a display more suited to browsing on a small screen, he said.
Library users can start using a new service, Learn4Life, which allows patrons to take a six-week online course on topics, such as Microsoft Office, photography or creative writing. The free courses can be completed at any time, and users could take the courses for fun or to build skills to help in job searches.
But the selection is expanding. The county library system started offering e-books last year, and publishers are offering more titles since then.
E-books likely won't replace paper books anytime soon, if ever, local librarians agreed. But since so many people now own tablets or smartphones, offering more digital copies is naturally the next step.
"Our goal has been to continue to increase it as much as we can. We see it as one more format, not a replacement of the current book," Greenwood Public Library director Cheryl Dobbs said.
The number of books, audio books and movies borrowed declined less than 1 percent in both 2012 and 2011 in the Johnson County libraries system but is on pace to drop more this year. However, residents have borrowed twice as many e-books as they did a year ago, Kolderup said. E-books and e-audio now make up about 2 percent of items borrowed by readers compared with less than 1 percent in 2012.
In Greenwood, e-book lending rose from less than 1 percent of the total checkouts to more than 6 percent so far this year.
Edinburgh Wright-Hageman Public Library doesn't offer e-books because readers haven't pushed for it yet, director Cathy Hamm said. The library isn't exploring adding e-books but would in the future if patrons ask for it, she said.
Convenience is a major part of why e-books are gaining popularity so quickly, Kolderup said. Johnson County library users can borrow up to five titles at a time without having to carry around anything more than the smartphone or tablet they likely already bring everywhere, he said. They also don't have to visit a library branch, because e-books can be borrowed through an app, he said.
Temple can just type the name of a book into a search engine and get what she wants, instead of having to search for it in the computer then try to find it on a shelf, she said.
Local libraries plan to spend more on e-books to try to add more titles for readers to choose from. In the Johnson County library system, for example, patrons can borrow about 5,000 titles, but most are adult fiction or children's books. Some categories, such as medical books or cookbooks, have fewer than 10 titles available.
Greenwood, which is part of a library consortium with about 100 members statewide, has access to more than 19,000 e-books, but that amount is minuscule compared to the 6 million total in the statewide sharing program, Dobbs said.
This year Johnson County transferred $10,000 originally intended for printed adult books including fiction or history to adult e-books, Kolderup said. By the end of this year, spending for e-books could represent about 25 percent of the money used for new titles.
Greenwood also wants to increase its e-book spending to $20,000 next year, after budgeting less than that for 2013, Dobbs said. Greenwood's collection will expand more quickly than the county's because any e-book added by other libraries in the sharing program will be available to Greenwood library members, she said.
Libraries can't increase their selection of e-books as quickly as paper copies, mainly because publishers haven't been as open to selling digital copies that will be free to borrow.
For example, libraries can purchase print books at a 40 percent wholesale discount but might have to pay list price or three times that amount to get a digital title, Kolderup said. That's because digital books don't degrade and need to be replaced like paper books, which may need to be replaced after 25 or 50 rentals, he said. Some publishers also have e-books that disappear after a certain number of checkouts, which forces the library to reorder that title, similar to replacing a paper copy.
Libraries also can't lend a single copy of an e-book to multiple users at one time, Kolderup said. Unlike loading a file onto a website where anyone can come and download it, e-books can be borrowed by only one person at one time, which is contrary to the convenience of a digital format.
"We have to pretend it's a real book," Kolderup said. "If we buy one copy, we can only give it out to one person."
That caught Temple by surprise when she went to borrow "A Storm of Swords," finding that it was already checked out by another user. She was able to put it on hold like any other book and got it when the borrower returned it.
Since e-books cost more and not all titles are available from publishers, expanding the collection will be a slower process, Kolderup said. For example, in July, Johnson County ordered about 3,000 paper books compared with about 60 digital versions, despite e-books being the only selection that showed an increase in checkouts compared with July 2012.
"We are definitely operating with an imperfect system right now. If there was a better option we would grab it," she said. "It really is a physical model for an electronic item and that's unfortunate."

I have a computer with two network interfaces, say eth0 and eth1 with IPes 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.11 respectively. Both these interfaces are connected to a router directly.
When I send traffic to 192.168.1.11 from 192.168.1.10 (or let Linux 'choose' interface itself), due to default entries in linux local routing table, traffic would never leave for the network and would get routed internally. How can I delete these entries from local routing table and add in some other routing table such that traffic for 192.168.1.11 is forced out to the router.
There must be some "ip" or "iptables" way which I couldn't' figure out.

Skip to comments.Dagestan Leader Says Parents of Extremists Must Be Punished
Posted on 01/18/2014 11:23:16 AM PST by Navy Patriot
MAKHACHKALA, October 19 (RIA Novosti) The president of the restive southern Russian republic of Dagestan said Friday that punitive measures should be introduced for parents of minors taking part in extremist militant organizations.
Ramazan Abdulatipovs press office cited him as saying that young people are being conditioned into hatred for other peoples.
Abdulatipov was speaking in the capital of Dagestan, Makhachkala, at the Congress of Russian Peoples, a forum for discussing relations between Russias numerous ethnic groups.
A draft bill on the proposal put forward by Abdulatipov is to be presented by the Congress of Russian Peoples to the State Duma, Russia's lower house of parliament.
(Excerpt) Read more at en.ria.ru ...
To me it looks as if they seek to avoid more division in society as a primary goal.
There is a lot of news using the word "extremism", but not what is and what isn't.
Some of this case reminds me of Israel and demolition of terrorist supporting family properties.
I agree
The families of suicide bombers should be identified and wiped out , to a man . No mercy , no remainder . That is 'a message' that might resonate with even the most hard core islamist martyr wannabee
wow - you & Kim Jung Un - separated at birth?
there is only one way to defeat islamism ..... and we are not doing it . Thus islamism will probably one day own this world of ours ; because we were too kind and merciful .
George H.W. Bush's doctrine of a 'kinder , gentler America ' has got to go . They need to fear us , at their mortal peril .
Plus, make the whole clan responsible. Take away the property of the whole extended family of the bomber, and banish them to Siberia.
I don't disagree with this concept, either. The young and impressionable aren't always understanding in human terms what their terrorist acts are doing. Knowing that it would cause the deaths of their family would make it personal and real. It would also cause paretns to be more vigilent about their children, and maybe not espouse extremist values that make terrorism acceptable.
This is a good plan; we're not talking about a law-enforcement issue here. We're talking Hostis Humani Generis. And this crap tends to run in families.
If Little Mo' blows himself and bunch of innocents up, his entire family, Big Mo', his his mothers, brothers, sisters, their spouses, and their kids, should be rounded up for wood-chipping.
But allow them to buy their way out with information on Little Mo's recruiters, handlers, trainers, bomb-builders, paymasters, etc. Any valid info gets the lot off...
And, when you catch them, you know what to do with them, and THEIR families...
And keep going up the chain.
Russia is doing this as well as far as influence and finance.
Russia is moving to reduce the sales of Saudi owned/controlled oil and gas to Western Europe, and Western European control of Eastern Europe. This reduces Saudi cash flow for terrorism through the IMF.
Russia is also opposing Western promoted pro Saudi "democracy" (mob rule) in the ME, reducing Saudi influence and retarding the Muslim Brotherhood Caliphate (and sidestepping war in the process).
However, that's as far as they go, .... for now.
Ping for your comment.
It is the first modern recorded case where the terrorists were forced to hunt and capture or kill their own and turn them over to the non Muslim authorities the hunters answered to.
Won't that make them just like the Islamist extremist ?
In many cases their parents may not be aware of what their children are doing...
How about deport to some nice frozen tundra after a lengthy prison term...
I can imagine leftists in this country rounding up whole families for the camps like they do in North Korea
For some reason, the Russkis seem to have a handle on dealing with terrorists.
Personally, I think it is because they had a hand in organizing, funding, and training so many of them during the Cold War. We should probably be taking notes...
I'm sure they have wet dreams about it...
If and when they try...
Possibly the Russians learn their lessons well.
Consider the Soviet Russian controlled Communists were the designated successors to the Shah of Iran when Carter decided to enforce regime change. They lasted less than two weeks and Iran was the first Islamic terrorist "republic" born.
Bottom line, the Soviets didn't get much out of Iran compared to what the Communists would have given them, so they probably took note and quit doing the dirty work for the Muslims after that.
Then consider Serbia-Kosovo, and how Putin duplicated the tactics in Georgia with the Islamic and Christian winners and losers reversed, plus the oil pipeline. Seems the Russians do learn their lessons well.
I'm disagree. Only if they can prove relatives' involvement. Better punish Obamao and Saudis.
>>For some reason, the Russkis seem to have a handle on dealing with terrorists.

Russians were never near behind sunni terrorists attacking the west in the last decades.
They are simply longer in business and somehow more experienced.
They had their Carter moment with Tehran embassy raided and ambassador killed too, but it was in earlier 19th century.
Russian approach to muslim issues were shaped about that time, long before any political correctness, humanitarianism and collateral damage terms were invented.
I wonder if he will also insist that parents get handcuffed by being threatened with abuse charges if they punish their kids - works so great here...
Mostly I meant that the Russian know how to deal with cunning, murderous brutes, having previously manipulated and used them against the West.
The Russians are smart enough to not worry about whether or not these people, and those they claim to represent, like them; instead they just make sure these people develop an abject terror of them. That is an example I think we should follow.
I have seen collective punishment work remarkably well.
Also I refuse to listen to arguments from American leftist Democrats against it, they have to quit legal persecution of families and supporters of conservatives that exercise their Constitutional rights before I'll listen to anything they say.

In the dome at the top of the grand staircase of Her Britannic Majesty's Foreign Office, exquisite painted figures represent the diverse territories that made up the British Empire at the end of the nineteenth century. By the time Morrison had completed his 'trial run' through South-East Asia as secret agent for The Times, his name had reached the highest councils of Whitehall. Sir Thomas Sanderson, Salisbury's Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, wrote to Moberly Bell on 14 November 1896: 'We are greatly indebted to Mr Morrison [sic] for the information which he has forwarded'.
It was probably unprecedented for a journalist, especially one still to be given a staff job, to receive such an accolade from the Foreign Service's most senior panjandrum but Morrison had already proved that he was no

State track notebook: Edmond North sisters share podium
Edmond North's Jade Patton hopes to be back at the Class 6A state track meet as a senior next year, but her sister's last chance at state came Saturday at Yukon High School.
That made the 100-meter dash even more special for the Pattons.
Jade Patton won the event with a time of 12.03 seconds, and sister Jordan Patton got on the medal stand as well, with a sixth-place finish at 12.88. Joining them was teammate Quinn Patterson in fourth at 12.50.
"That was really fun," Jade Patton said. "My sister was really nervous at first, but she got on the podium and we were all really happy. It was just fun."
Jade Patton added a second-place finish in the 200 meters at 25.06.
Norman North's Haley Woodard was the surprise of the state meet a year ago, winning the 400 meters as a freshman.
But it wasn't as much of a surprise when she pulled away late to win it again, posting a time of 55.84.
Then she did it again to take the 200 title at 24.21.
In the 400, Woodard developed a friendly rivalry with Edmond Santa Fe's Tyler Wisby, who she beat at the line to win the 400 last year.
"We talked about it, and we thought one of us was gonna break the state record (of 54.89) today," Woodard said. "In the beginning of the race, Tyler got a little bit ahead of me, and I just wanted to stay with her to see when she kicked it in. That's when I kicked it in, and I came out with the win."
"I wish one of us could have got the state record, but we'll just have to keep working for it."
One of the state's longest standing records, the girls 400 record belongs to Glenda Marshall of Muskogee, set at state in 1987.
It came down to the final race of the day — which Shawnee won — but it wasn't quite enough for the Wolves to pull off the repeat as Class 5A girls champions.
Still, Shawnee picked up several gold medals over the weekend.
In addition to winning the 3,200-meter relay on Friday, Shawnee took the 1,600 relay Saturday.
Individually, Paige Hughes won a tight 800 in 2:21.13, beating Ardmore's Destinee Howell by 0.19 seconds.
And senior Jasmine Robinson bounced back from a narrow defeat in the 100 hurdles to win the 300 hurdles with ease in 45.01.
Midwest City junior Caleb Corprew won the day's closest race, edging Edmond Memorial's Micah Fontaine by eight one-thousandths of a second in the 300 hurdles.
Corprew clocked a winning time of 38.791 seconds, with Fontaine at 38.799.
Academic champs recognized
The Yukon girls and Stillwater boys were named academic champions in Class 6A. The Yukon girls had a team grade-point average of 3.980, and the Stillwater boys compiled a GPA of 3.915.
The Class 5A academic titles went to the Bishop McGuinness boys with a team grade-point average of 3.865, and the Glenpool girls with a GPA of 3.934.
* Edmond Memorial's boys went 1-2-3 in the Class 6A 800, with Grey Howard winning, and Ryan Nielson and Alex Shook behind him, all of them separated by 0.36 seconds.
* Norman North's boys won the 400 relay in 42.25, edging Edmond Memorial by 0.15 seconds.
* Norman's Colin Pasque repeated as 6A pole vault champion in 15-6.
* Edmond Santa Fe's Josiah Hunter jumped 6-8 to win the 6A high jump title, while teammate Demetrius Jones nipped a tight field to win the 110 hurdles in 14.61.
* Midwest City junior Paige Houston repeated as the 6A shot put champion with a throw of 42-1.
* Del City's Adrienne Sheets dominated the 5A long jump with a winning distance of 17-8 3/4, more than 10 inches longer than her closest competitor.
* Guthrie junior Asia Johnson edged defending champion Jasmine Robinson of Shawnee at the line to win with a time of 15.27 to win the Class 5A 100 hurdles.

Streetfilms on a big screen
I've been meaning to tell you about this great Streetfilms series ever since they launched it way back in February.
Moving Beyond the Automobile is a ten part video series which explores solutions to the problem of automobile dependency. It's a visual handbook that will help guide policy makers, advocacy organizations, teachers, students, and others into a world that values pedestrian plazas over parking lots and train tracks over highways. Cars were then, and this is now. Welcome to the future.
Now, I have a really good reason: Mr. Streetfilms, Clarence Eckerson, is in town, and he wants to …

Southbound 48, 2:45 PM
Two high-school age girls are chatting in the seat facing the back door. The conversation is lighthearted, until one of the girls casually checks the ingredients of the "juice" concoction she is drinking.
Girl 1, staring at the bottle: "Skim milk? What's skim milk?"
Girl 2: I don't know. "Maybe it's like soy milk. I can drink soy milk."
They discuss for a few minutes but neither seems to know for sure. Girl 1 starts to become agitated. Both start looking around for someone to ask and finally tap a boy about their age, who is listening to his headphones.

Poem Title:
ARIEL to Miranda:¡ªTake This slave of music for the sake Of him who is the slave of thee; And teach it all the harmony In which thou canst and only thou 5 Make the delighted spirit glow Till joy denies itself again And too intense is turn'd to pain. For by permission and command Of thine own Prince Ferdinand 10 Poor Ariel sends this silent token Of more than ever can be spoken; Your guardian spirit Ariel who From life to life must still pursue Your happiness for thus alone 15 Can Ariel ever find his own. From Prospero's enchanted cell As the mighty verses tell To the throne of Naples he Lit you o'er the trackless sea 20 Flitting on your prow before Like a living meteor. When you die the silent Moon In her interlunar swoon Is not sadder in her cell 25 Than deserted Ariel:¡ª When you live again on earth Like an unseen Star of birth Ariel guides you o'er the sea Of life from your nativity:¡ª 30 Many changes have been run Since Ferdinand and you begun Your course of love and Ariel still Has track'd your steps and served your will. Now in humbler happier lot 35 This is all remember'd not; And now alas the poor Sprite is Imprison'd for some fault of his In a body like a grave¡ª From you he only dares to crave 40 For his service and his sorrow A smile to-day a song to-morrow. The artist who this viol wrought To echo all harmonious thought Fell'd a tree while on the steep 45 The woods were in their winter sleep Rock'd in that repose divine On the wind-swept Apennine; And dreaming some of autumn past And some of spring approaching fast 50 And some of April buds and showers And some of songs in July bowers And all of love; and so this tree ¡ª Oh that such our death may be!¡ª Died in sleep and felt no pain 55 To live in happier form again: From which beneath heaven's fairest star The artist wrought this loved guitar; And taught it justly to reply To all who question skilfully 60 In language gentle as thine own; Whispering in enamour'd tone Sweet oracles of woods and dells And summer winds in sylvan cells. For it had learnt all harmonies 65 Of the plains and of the skies Of the forests and the mountains And the many-voic¨¨d fountains; The clearest echoes of the hills The softest notes of falling rills 70 The melodies of birds and bees The murmuring of summer seas And pattering rain and breathing dew And airs of evening; and it knew That seldom-heard mysterious sound 75 Which driven on its diurnal round As it floats through boundless day Our world enkindles on its way:¡ª All this it knows but will not tell To those who cannot question well 80 The spirit that inhabits it: It talks according to the wit Of its companions; and no more Is heard than has been felt before By those who tempt it to betray 85 These secrets of an elder day. But sweetly as its answers will Flatter hands of perfect skill It keeps its highest holiest tone For one beloved Friend alone. 90

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

KeywordDimethylsulfide; Multi-year ice; Weddell Sea
This study, conducted in December 2004, is the first to present observations of DMS in a snow pack covering the multi-year sea ice of the western Weddell Sea. The snow layer is important because it is the interface through which DMS needs to be transported in order to be emitted directly from the ice to the overlying atmosphere. High concentrations of DMS, up to 6000 nmol m−3, were found during the first weeks of December but concentrations sharply decline as late spring-early summer progresses. This implies that DMS contained in sea ice is efficiently vented through the snow into the atmosphere. Indeed, field measurements by relaxed eddy accumulation indicate an average release of 11 μmol DMS m−2 d−1 from the ice and snow throughout December.

The World of Gloria Vanderbilt
ISBN13:by Goodman, Wendy; Cooper, Anderson
Harry N. Abrams
Gloria Vanderbilt is many things: an heiress, a painter, a muse, a designer, a model, a writer, an entrepreneur, an actor, a socialite, a survivor, an icon. She brought the Vanderbilt name out of the Gilded Age and into the Digital Age, reinventing herself over and over along the way. Hers is a story of charisma, glamour, and heartbreaking loss, told here by Wendy Goodman, who had intimate access to Vanderbilt for this book. The illustrations include portraits of Vanderbilt and her extraordinary homes, filled with original and influential decorating ideas, by such photographic legends as Richard Avedon, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Inge Morath, Horst P. Horst, Francesco Scavullo, and Annie Leibovitz. Vanderbilt's son, Anderson Cooper, contributes a foreword.
