Road 88
Songs of the South at Thunder Valley
LINCOLN, CA – The legendary country music band Alabama made its way to Thunder Valley Casino Resort on Saturday with special guest, Sacramento's own, Rachel Steele and her band Road 88.
It was an evening of southern rock infused with a bit of bluegrass, sprinkled with a whole lotta of country as the award winning Alabama reminded fans why they have reigned over country music since the 80s.
Rachel Steele and Road 88 kicked off the concert in fine fashion with a cover of Miranda Lambert's "Gun Powder & Lead" as temperatures hovered in the mid 90's. Steele sang a number of original songs including "Drive a Little Faster," "Nashville" and, my favorite, "The Shot Song."
Steele was in complete command of the stage and the audience with her band Road 88, consisting of Scott Prentice (guitar/vocals), Charlie McGimsey (drums), Vinnie Panteleoni (bass), Bob Kinney (guitar), Gordon Graft (keys) and Sherry Eidhammer (backup vocals).
Alabama has been together as a group for over 40 years and in 2004 the group decided to part ways and played their "final" concert in Bismark, North Dakota. In 2013 the band reformed for their 40th anniversary and set out on their Back to the Bowery tour, in reference to the Myrtle Beach club where they got their start.
During the bands time apart, Owen stayed active as a solo act and also successfully battled prostate cancer. Cook was performing with his Allstar Goodtime Band, while Gentry was producer for his band Rockit City.
When Alabama took the stage everyone in the packed outdoor amphitheater was on their feet cheering as original band members Randy Owen (lead vocals/guitar), Jeff Cook (lead guitar,violin) and Teddy Gentry (bass), kicked off their 90+ minute set with "If You're Going to Play in Texas," with the audience singing along.
They continued on with "Tennessee River," followed by "Dixieland Delight." The mostly older crowd remained seated for the majority of their performance, with small clusters of fans standing. During some of their songs people would dash to the aisles to dance to their favorite song.
Two audience members were singled out by Owen when he invited them up onstage so he could sing them "Happy Birthday." Sue and Kaitlyn made their way to the stage and after Owen finished singing "Happy Brithday," he asked them if that was good enough. By the looks on their faces it was plenty good enough.
For their encore they performed "Mountain Music," at which point the crowd exploded to their feet to sing and dance along.
Mark Chesnutt does his country thing
LINCOLN, CA – Mark Chesnutt headlined a night of country music in Thunder Valley Casino Resort's Holiday Pavilion on Sunday, with openers Rachel Steele and Confederate Railroad.
As fans started filing into the Holiday Pavilion, Rachel Steele and Road 88 kicked off the evening with Gretchen Wilson's "All Jacked Up" and The Band Perry's "Done."
Steele and Road 88 just recently won the coveted Sammie Award for Sacramento's best Americana/Alternative Country band, as voted by fans.
Steele and the Road 88 crew, consisting of Scott Prentice (vocal/guitar), Charlie McGimsey (drums), Vinnie Panteleoni (bass), Bob Kinney (guitar) and Tony Windle (keys), played several original works including "Nashville" and "Mama's Still Waiting."
Steele belted out "The Shot Song," as a number of audience members stood up and started dancing to this original tune. According to Steele, she and Prentice got their inspiration for the song after watching comedian Gabriel Iglesias shooting shots of Tequila after a performance. Steele ended the set with Miranda Lamberts "Fastest Girl in Town."
The audience was charged up and obviously looking forward to seeing Confederate Railroad after Steele's high energy performance, but fans were disappointed as Confederate Railroad put on a lackluster performance and would have been better suited starting the show with Steele leading the way to Mark Chesnutt.
Confederate Railroad's lead singer, Danny Shirley, was difficult to understand during his monologues and was spotty on his vocals. Joining Shirley onstage was Bobby Randall (guitar, minus his steel string), Rusty Hendrix (guitar), Mark Dufresne (drums) and Wayne Secrest (bass).
Towards the end of Confederate Railroad's set, fans did react to their closing song "Trashy Women."
Considered one of the most reliable country artists in the industry, Mark Chesnutt didn't disappoint as he came out with "Bubba Shot the Jukebox," followed by "Old Flames Have New Names."
It was refreshing to hear Chesnutt's clean vocals, and experience firsthand his ability to weave a story into a musical melody for all to enjoy. The audience was into his set from the start. Continuing he sang "Brother Jukebox" and "I Just Wanted You to Know."
For his encore Chesnutt performed "Goin Through the Big D" and "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," leaving fans on their feet cheering for more.
Trace Adkins takes Road 88 to Sunrise Marketplace
CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA – Trace Adkins brought a whole lot of country to the Sunrise at Night Concert Series at Sunrise Marketplace in Citrus Heights on Thursday night, bringing with him local country singer Rachel Steele and Road 88.
Rachel Steele and Road 88 opened the show with Miranda Lambert's "Gunpowder & Lead," followed by Band Perry's "Done." As Steele warmed up the crowd with her steely vocals, the band was firing on all cylinders with Scott Prentice (guitar/vocals), Tom Long (guitar/vocals), Charlie McGimsey (drums), Vinnie Pantaleoni (bass/vocals), Eddie Villanueva (guitar) and Tony Windle (keys).
Steele had complete command of the stage and the audience, as she continued with their original song "Drive a Little Faster," dedicating the song to all the veterans and current members of the armed forces.
Steele put on a wonderfully high energy performance belting out a number of original songs and covers. After every song the crowd cheered, seeming to fuel Steele's vocals and energy level.
Her attitude-filled performance really took over the audience as she had everyone singing 'shots of tequila' with her original song "The Shot Song." After her set was over, Steele and Road 88 were rewarded with a standing ovation.
As Trace Adkins made his way down center stage the women went wild with cheers – There was some hootin and hollerin too, after all it was a country music concert. Once Adkins made it front and center he pulled off his cowboy hat and bowed letting his long hair hang down, flipping it back as the women went wild.
In an odd choice for his opener, the 51-year-old Adkins kicked off his show with Bob Seger's "Come to Pappa." He followed it up with his original "Hillbilly Bone," with fans singing along.
Adkins didn't put on a high-energy performance as Rachel Steele did, but what he lacked in energy he made up for in swagger, moving his hips this way and that, leaving some women melting into a puddle of mush, especially when he went down into the lower register.
Adkin's put on a great performance and it was refreshing to see a local band such as Road 88 take center stage opening for such a country music legend.
The Sunrise at Night Concert Series continues with Amy Grant w/Lincoln Brewster next week, followed by Bachman Turner Overdrive. The concert venue is the perfect size with no bad seats in the house, bar, food and more.

Woodshop Rocks keeps churning out life lessons
In a world of high unemployment, budget cuts in every sector and school closures, it's refreshing to see a school program that, not only teaches students valuable life skills and providing them with a sense of accomplishment, but funds itself.
Woodshop Rocks is a program created by an unassuming man by the name of Duane Calkins. Calkins teaches a woodshop class at Buljan Middle School in Roseville, Calif., but this is no ordinary woodshop class. It's a woodshop class that, dare I say, rocks. You see his students learn how to build their very own guitars from start to finish.
Taking about six months to build, students are able to learn a number of skills, over and above woodworking. Skills they take into their adult life. Along the way, they will not only learn how to craft their guitar out of wood, but learn the electronics within the guitar as well as install the electronics, including soldering the pieces together, but more importantly, how it all comes together.
As you enter Calkins classroom it appears to be a normal everyday woodshop. Upon closer inspection you start to see the beginnings of guitars around the room, with some in their final stages and others in the beginning stage.
Calkins, a quiet soft spoken man, lights up at the opportunity to talk about his program. Entering its 15th year, students have custom built over 4,000 guitars and helped numerous local and national artists.
The program got its start when one of Calkins students came up and asked him if he could build a guitar for his woodshop project. Not knowing the difference between a fret and a humbucker, the two set out together to build the first guitar – The rest, as they say, is history.
People have taken notice. Eighteen schools across the country have mirrored Calkins program. One school was without woodshop classes for nine years, but reopened their woodshop class to start this successful and, more importantly, self-funded program.
According to Calkins, at least 80 percent of his students go on to learn how to play guitar. Many students have gone on to build their own business around the guitar, doing repairs, building in their garage, or starting recording studios. One student went on to build surfboards.
Woodshop Rocks has built guitars for local bands like Road 88, Billy Goats Gruff, Voodoo Fuzzbox, Grenade Jumper, and so many more. Nationally recognized artists include James Hatfield of Metallica, Avenged Seven Fold, Sammy Hagar, Sublime and Bo Bice.
Read: Bo Bice gets a new guitar
Woodshop Rocks also hands out guitars to the winner of the Bass Master Classic, and yes, the guitar is in the shape of a fish, a bass to be exact. This year the award went to Brent Chapman for winning Toyota Bass master Angler of the Year. In fact, avid fisherman and country music star Brad Paisley was on the receiving end of one of those bass guitars, and according to reports he's got it prominently displayed at his home.
I was lucky enough to be there on the day that Calkins and his students presented a custom made guitar to local country music singer Madison Hudson. Hudson had not seen the guitar until the big reveal and was ecstatic with how it turned out. Prior to seeing the guitar, the 15-year-old Hudson performed a couple of songs along with Scott Prentice, guitarist with band Road 88.
Past student, Britanny Brazil, who helped design Bo Bice's guitar also played a part in designing Madison's.
It was the first time I had heard Hudson sing unplugged and was quite impressed with her powerful vocals. She's one to keep an eye on as she develops into a country star.
Calkins is still emotional even after 4,000 guitars, as he teared up watching Hudson appreciate her newly made custom guitar.
Calkins has provided thousands of kids with the opportunity to learn life skills by building something they can appreciate and grow from. Music speaks to us all and now there are thousands of adults out there who continue to share the love of music and art all because of Woodshop Rocks.

Rock concert breaks out at country bar
It was a magical night at Toby Keith's Bar & Grill in Folsom, California as singer, songwriter Rachel Steele and country band Road 88 were joined by the venerable rocker Jeff Keith, lead singer for the rock band Tesla.
Keith joined forces with Steele and her band to celebrate the release of his new CD "Jeff Keith and Country Music Friends." The Album is the result of a side project Keith's been working on with friends Kent Goodson and Pat Boone from The George Jones band. Pat Boone is not the really old guy who likes to drink milk, but the not-so-really old guy who likes country music.
When Steele was halfway through her set Keith, donning a cowboy hat and blue jacket, jumped up onstage singing several songs from his new album. As if that wasn't enough to get everyone on their feet, Tesla's Troy Luckketta (drums) and Frank Hannon (guitar), who were there in support of Keith, joined him to perform Tesla's hit "Signs," followed by a fantastic rendition of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama." Only Brian Wheat (bass) and Dave Rude (guitar) were missing from Tesla.
Road 88's guitarist Billy Haggard and Hannon brought the house down with a killer battle of guitars, with Hannon finishing off the battle playing the guitar using a beer bottle up and down the neck of the guitar.
It gave more than a few people the goosies!
Road 88's members include Scott Prentice (guitar, vocals), Billy Haggard (guitar), Charlie McGimsey (drums), Todd Prout (bass), Paul Southerland (lap/pedal steel, dobro) and Maggie Keith (backup vocals).
So how did Keith get mixed up in all things country?
Apparently Goodson and Boone met Keith after a Tesla concert in Canada and the next thing you know, the three of them are paddling around in a pontoon boat somewhere in the middle of Nashville, slamming down sasparillas, and singing country songs – go figure.
The album is solidly in the country genre with song titles like "Same Ol' Cowboy," Oklahoma Bound," and my favorite "Oh Hell." You can read the complete review here.
Keith also wants to assure all of his Tesla fans that he's not quitting his day job – or would that be his night job? He remains with Tesla and they are currently planning out their 2013 schedule, including the Monster of Rock Cruise in March.
Officer Needs Assistance at Thunder Valley Casino
The Placer County 10-35 Foundation's Thunder in November charity drive took over Thunder Valley Casino's Pano Hall on Saturday as the Chris Gardner Band, Road 88 and special guest Jeff Keith performed to a charitable crowd.
The Placer County 10-35 Foundation was created in 2011 as a non-profit charity designed to assist the men & women of Placer County law enforcement. The Foundation is a fraternal & benevolent association chartered to assist Placer County peace officers in times of great personal and organizational tragedy.
10-35 is part of law enforcement's 10-code which means officer needs assistance.
Road 88 opened the show with lead singer Rachel Steele belting out Gretchen Wilson's "All Jacked Up" and Emmylou Harris' "One More Bottle of Wine."
Joining founding members Rachel Steele (vocals) and Scott Prentice (guitar/vocals) were Billy Haggard (guitar), Charlie McGimsey (drums), Todd Prout (bass), Paul Southerland (lap/pedal steel, dobro) and Maggie Keith (backup vocals).
Road 88 was flawless in their delivery as one would expect from a band that was voted #1 in the Best Local Band category for the second year in a row on KCRA's A-List.
Towards the end of their set Steele brought Tesla's lead singer Jeff Keith on stage to sing a country song.
Yes pardner you heard right! Jeff Keith comes strutting out looking cuter than a junebug in a jumpsuit, donning, of all things, a cowboy hat. Y'all wouldn't have believe it.
After some wild applause and a collective gasp from the audience, Keith went on to explain that he was still with Tesla and all was good with the band, but he was pursuing a lifelong dream of singing country music. His new CD Jeff Keith and Country Music Friends, is due out on November 9th, featuring Kent Goodson and Pat Boone from The George Jones band.
With his best country voice, Keith went on to sing George Jones' "Grand Tour," as the crowd cheered him on.
As one would have expected, Keith's chops were flawless and, surprisingly, he sounded like a genuine country star. Who'd have thunk it!
Stay tuned for a complete review of his new album.
In between sets Jim Hudson with the Placer County 10-35 foundation announced the winners of their silent auction for an autographed guitar signed by REO Speedwagon (Katie was the winner), and an autographed guitar signed by Road 88 and Jeff Keith(Diana was the winner). Katie insisted that she get a picture after the show with Chris Gardner and her newly acquired guitar.
The Chris Gardner Band kicked their set off with Alabama's "Mountain Music" and Luke Bryan's "Rain is a Good Thing," as droves of people made their way to the dance floor.
Lead singer Chris Gardner was joined by Dwight Hogan (bass), Aaron Shively (lead guitar), Joey Gonzales (drums), Nikko Vargas (rhythm guitar), and Shawn Holiday (keyboard).
While Road 88 had a solid set, the Chris Gardner Band was able to pack the dance floor as they continued playing "Something Like That" and "Dixieland Delight."
This was a fun and successful event. Expect to see Thunder in November II next year!

Hitting it Big & Rich at Thunder Valley Casino
Big & Rich brought their country music tour, Xtreme Music: The Tour, to Thunder Valley Casino and Resort Friday night. Playing to a full house, the crew was engaging and extremely entertaining. Playing with Big & Rich were, of course, Big Kenny and John Rich, with special guests Gretchen Wilson and Cowboy Troy.
This kicked off a weekend full of concerts out at Thunder Valley Casino with Ramon Ayala playing Saturday, and KC & The Sunshine Band on Sunday.
Opening the concert was local heroes, Road 88 "" you just gotta love the name. The band was named Best Local Band in Sacramento by KCRA's A-list. Having been together for only a couple of years they already have hit the charts in Europe with their original song "Not Gonna Happen." Expect to see some big things from these guys and gals in the near future.
Lead singer Rachel Steele sounded awesome as did the rest of the crew consisting of Scott Prentice (Lead vocals and rhythm guitar), David Phelps (lead vocals and guitar), Sherry Eidhammer (Vocals), Joe Anderson (Drums), and Joe Irwin (Bass).
Talk about working a crowd. People were standing their entire set and people who were just milling around waiting for Big & Rich started filing in to watch and listen as they performed. When they left the stage it was obvious the audience wanted more, as did I.
Just make sure you get out and see them before they skyrocket to fame (if they haven't already)!
As the stage lit up in a dazzling array of bright lights, color beams, and strobes, Big Kenny and John Rich came out with their latest hit single "Fake I.D."
The Muzik Mafia, as they like to refer to themselves, share an eight-piece band on a custom stage that includes a fully functional bar as the centerpiece. The music never stopped as Big & Rich, Gretchen, and Cowboy Troy performed hit after hit "" the convenience of having one band do it all.
I know they were going for that local bar feel, but this reminded me more of a circus with all the different colored lights going off and the rotation of artists throughout the night. John Rich started out in a red shirt and when Cowboy Troy showed up he also had a red shirt, adding to the circus feel. That's not to say it was a bad thing, it was simply great.
It was a nice touch when, after thanking all the military personnel in the crowd, including past, present and future, they brought a couple of individuals who are currently serving in the military up onstage. Major Sargent Surita A. Rorie and Technical Sargent Eric Grant had Gretchen playing bartender and telling her guests to belly-up to the bar for a shot of their favorite drink as a toast to their dedication and commitment. Not sure, but I think they both went for the Jack Daniels.
Probably the funniest part of the show was when John Rich was telling the audience about his adventures in town. Turns out he took a ride in one of Thunder Valley's limousines and ended up at our local Wal-Mart. He became fascinated with a jar of Cheese Balls. Funny thing is, I knew exactly what he was talking about since I was there earlier that day too. They are really large cheese balls in a very large clear plastic jar. Wal-Mart has them in stock for Halloween. I didn't buy them, because god forbid, if I were to bring anything in our house with artificial anything in it. I guess Rich doesn't have that problem at his house since he bought at least one and brought it with him onstage. He had all the band members sign the jar and then tossed it to one lucky fan.
It was a really fun night out at Thunder Valley Casino and Resort "" as usual.
Next up for Thunder Valley this weekend is Ramon Ayala!

Obama's Hurdle: Selling The Satisfied On Health Care
How do you sell something to someone who doesn't know they need it? That, in a nutshell, is the biggest hurdle President Obama and Congressional leaders face in trying to push a health care overhaul to the roughly 180 million Americans who have private health insurance coverage.
The president previewed some of the themes he's likely to use in his address to a joint session of Congress Wednesday at a Labor Day picnic in Cincinnati. "I see reform where we bring stability and security to folks who have insurance today," he said, "where you never again have to worry about going without coverage if you lose your job or you change your job or you get sick."
But the sagging poll numbers, both for Obama and his top domestic priority, show that so far, the public isn't buy what he's selling. Robert Blendon, a public opinion expert at the Harvard School of Public Health, says he's not that surprised. "This recession... has not left Main Street people's lives," he said.
"And for them to really sign onto these bills they have to feel that their insurance premiums will be lower in the future and their out-of-pocket costs. And they just don't see that."
Karen Pollitz, an insurance expert at Georgetown University, says the problem is actually even bigger: Most people who have insurance don't realize that they might not have as much protection as they think.
The reason most people say they're satisfied with their health insurance? They don't use it very much. "The majority of Americans who are healthy account for only about 3 percent of total medical spending," Pollitz said. "It's kind of like hearing that most people are satisfied with their new car before they drive it off the dealer's lot."
On the other hand, those who do run up big bills often experience problems. One survey, Pollitz said, "found...that more than one in five cancer patients who had health insurance the whole time they were in treatment, nonetheless, ended up using up all or most of their savings on medical bills."
Pollitz says that because most people are healthy, insurance companies have tried to attract their business by holding down premiums. But what many people don't realize is that those lower premiums often mean less coverage when you really need it.
For example, she says, "you might be paying a lower premium because the drug benefit in your policy only covers generic drugs."
That's no problem if you have a common ailment like high blood pressure or only require the occasional antibiotic. But if you're diagnosed with a serious illness for which there are no generic medications, like multiple sclerosis, "you need very very expensive name brand drugs that cost thousands of dollars every month," Pollitz said.
Harvard's Robert Blendon says the Obama administration, like the Clinton administration 16 years ago, may have misstepped in trying mount a campaign for changes to the health care system that's too similar to the one it mounted to get its candidate elected president.
"People's investing in a president is different from having their health care changed," Blendon said. In getting people to vote for a candidate, he says, "they don't have a lot to lose. They like the candidate; they want something called change. And so you may get audiences excited for Obama or Clinton when they're running for office, that don't get excited at all about their health care getting changed."
Instead, Blendon says, what backers of health care overhaul should be doing is running a campaign like people do for local school bond referenda, where voters must raise their own taxes for the greater good. In those cases and this one, he says, "You really have to convince people that if their taxes go up their schools will be better; it won't be a waste of money."
That convincing starts with the president's speech Wednesday night.

No one is untouched by the impact of regulation. But are you letting regulation happen to you, or are you embracing it and exploiting the opportunities compliance can bring?
Building digital trust: You need to be aware of your cyber security risks, be able to assess which cyber threats and possible cyber attacks could actually affect your business goals and have the agility to deal with new information security threats as they arise.
Aligning your culture, behaviours and beliefs is the key to success. If there is a mismatch between the intended, espoused and actual behaviours, the consequences for your organisation can be serious.
Leaders need to integrate enterprise risk management with strategy, improve their risk profile, embed good corporate governance, implement stress testing and embed continuous monitoring instead of focusing on cutting costs and aggressively streamlining operations.
Your regulatory response reflects the level of control you have in your business. Regulatory compliance can be turned from a requirement to a source of commercial advantage.
Promises are made between people, not organisations or contracts. Risk assessing contractual obligations, understanding sub-contractor risk and improving governance maturity will help to increase levels of third party trust.
Many leaders lack visibility of their business transformation programmes. Sponsors often feel removed from the detail of a change management programme and need help to feel closer, increasing their confidence and certainty of achieving the desired outcome

Paula Deen's Beer Battered Shrimp
Total Time
Prep 4 hrs
Cook 10 mins
I found this recipe on Food Network's website and couldn't believe it wasn't on Zaar! This is a super simple fried shrimp recipe from Paula Deen. I tried this on my shrimp the other night and it was delicious. I also fried some chicken tenders in the batter and they were delicious as well. Make sure you let the beer/flour mixture sit for a few hours before using it.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup beer
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 21 -25 large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails left on
- oil, for frying
- Preheat a fryer or a deep pot halfway filled with oil to 350 degrees F.
- In a bowl, combine the beer, flour, and salt, and allow to sit at room temperature for several hours.
- Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and dip the shrimp in the batter and fry for approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
- Drain shrimp on paper towels.
- Enjoy!

Quick and easy recipe. I used the extra batter and fried up some broccoli, that was good too. Thanks for sharing.
I really liked this. It was so easy to throw together. I followed the recipe exactly and it was perfect. I have to admit the batter is very thick and kind of hard to work with at first, but once you batter your first batch it easy go. Thank you for posting this recipe. I can't keep myself from nibbling on these. I dipped them with some seafood sauce :yummy:
I'll start this review by stating that this was my first foray into deep frying. If you haven't done so before, some tips I learned: 1) make sure the oil is very hot 2) don't crowd the items in the cooker 3) make sure the oil is very hot That said, I had to make two batches of the batter for all the shrimp I had. The first batch sat for about 2 hours before I used it. It was very, very thick. The combination of that and probably oil that wasn't quite hot enough made for some fairly tasty shrimp but with too thick a crust not crunchy all the way through. I should also add I used an unusual European beer that was in the back of the fridge, so that might have had an effect. The second batch I had to throw together the batter and only let it sit for about 45 minutes before using it. The other difference was I used a plain old Heineken. This batter was much thinner but this batch turned out much better, be it from either hotter oil, different beer, less sit time, or a combination of all three. These were great! Both batters had a great taste, one was just better to work with than the other. I will probably try Stephanie's idea of doing chicken tenders next time too as this will be very tasty on those as well. Made for Spring 2009 PAC.

This weekend will be the last chance John McCain has to get back into this race. To understand why, let's briefly recap what's happened since the conventions.
McCain left the back-to-back conventions with a lead for the first time in the presidential race. His strength was fueled by his designation of Sarah Palin and the enthusiasm she aroused in the Republican base.
The Democrats, caught off guard, attacked her viciously, which only reinforced the perception of a sexist left's victimizing a woman.
Then McCain lost the first two debates. Regardless of what observers think happened (we thought he lost the first and won the second), the fact is that his poll numbers deteriorated after each performance.
The financial crisis extinguished any lead McCain may have had, exacerbated by what must be seen, in hindsight, as the biggest mistake of his campaign: his decision to "suspend" his campaign and return to Washington to work on the bailout.
McCain's subsequent docile support for the package, earmarks and all, destroyed the perception he had built carefully during his convention and subsequently of independence from Bush and of a populist antipathy to greedy Wall Street barons.
As a result of the debates, the crisis, and McCain's ineptitude, Obama surged to a lead of 7-9 points around Oct. 13.
Then, amazingly, McCain won the third debate.
Using a populist appeal and fighting hard, he echoed the complaints of Joe the plumber against Obama's plan to "spread the wealth around." From Wednesday, Oct. 15, through Saturday, Oct. 18, McCain sliced the Obama lead to 5 points — an average of all the polling.
But the effect of the debate began to wear off on Sunday, Oct. 19, and McCain began to fall back again. By now, Obama has an average lead of 7.2 points, according to realclearpolitics.com. (The AP poll showing a dead heat is the only one to show such data, unfortunately.)
Much of Obama's rise this week has been due to his domination of the paid advertising. With his coffers swollen by $150 million raised in September, he can buy any available advertising time. But McCain has considerable resources at his disposal as well.
For the week that started this past Tuesday, Oct. 21, McCain is running about four ads to every five Obama airs in swing states. Technically, McCain is airing about 2,500 household rating points a week as against Obama's 3,300. One household rating point means that 1 percent of the households are watching the ad.
So 2,500 points in a given week suggests that each household is seeing about 25 ads a week, or about four each day. While Obama is spending more money, the difference between seeing four McCain ads and five Obama spots each day is not significant.
Beginning on Monday of this week, McCain began running an attack ad specifically aimed at the issues first raised by Joe the plumber. Showing footage of his chat with Obama, the McCain ad hammers home the tax issue, noting that Obama's so-called tax cut for 100 million Americans is really a welfare check for the half of them who pay no taxes.
The ad is hard-hitting and effective. More importantly, it is running in the clear without other McCain media to clutter up the message.
So McCain has his best ad on his best issue with as close to financial parity with Obama as he is likely to get. If, in these circumstances, he cannot gain ground during the next few days, the race will be functionally over. But if the Republicans can get traction, it could become a competitive contest again.
Godspeed John McCain.

Fever: A Novel (original 2013; edition 2013)
by Mary B Keane
Work details
Fever by Mary B Keane (2013)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This was very interesting and thought provoking. I love books that teach me alot while giving me a story to digest. Well written -- Mary is thoroughly believable as the character that she must have been, as is the man who is essentially her common law husband. Can you imagine being told that you are a disease carrier, so many have died because of you, and in a time when many didn't have much training, told that you can't do your job, the special job you are good at? Can you imagine being basically imprisoned without a trial? Can you imagine wondering, but not being really convinced, that you were responsible for many, many deaths? This book helped me really imagine all of that.
3.5 ★ Fever by Mary Beth Keane
Mary Mallon (September 23, 1869 – November 11, 1938)
(Typhoid Mary), was the first person in the United States identified as an asymptomatic carrier of the pathogen found in typhoid fever.
historical fiction
I should have read a nonfictional account of Mary before a fictional one.
It's hard for me to be sympathetic with her when she seemed to understand
the "medical engineer", after finding a trail of disease wherever she cooked.
After her confinement, she was released under the condition that she never work as a cook again.
Fortunately, epidemiology pursued her relentlessly when a trail of typhus appeared.
She had defied the edict.
When cornered, after a series of new settings including a bakery, a chef service from her home and of all things a primary chef in a maternity hospital...
she was informed:
"The first time carelessness.....the second time criminal."
Mary Beth Keane has depicted her as fiercely compelling, dramatic, vexing, sympathetic, uncompromising and unforgettable .(book jacket)
She definitely had the impact the author hoped to achieve.
Now, I'm off to read an actual account."
I'm surprised more people haven't reviewed this very well written informative book about Typhoid Mary. I loved it for it's historical value alone. I'm not sure if everything written here is true, especially the part about Albert. But if indeed she did have a romance with Albert, Mary certainly had a hard luck story. Women of that class in those years had very little value, just hard work and giving birth. Great book!

Women of that class in those years had very little value, just hard work and giving birth. Great book!
I would think that it is a little difficult to write a fictional account of a real event. The author has to make many assumptions and take some literary license with thoughts, feelings, etc. when it comes to fictionalizing an historical figure. I have a feeling that Keane did a pretty good job here with Mary Mallon, better known as "Typhoid Mary".
I found Mary to be an extremely likable character. At first, that is. She was no nonsense, hard-working, respectful, and very talented at her occupation as a cook to the affluent. However, once it was obvious that she was a carrier of typhoid fever, she absolutely refused to believe that it may be true, and do what the authorities asked of her.
With that said, the book was very easy to read, and compelling. It was factual, as far as Keane could research, and the characters were very realistic. I had no sympathy for Mary, despite the author trying to convey a sense of sympathy in her writing. Nor did I have any sympathy for Mary's partner, Alfred. As a matter of fact, I came to the point of thinking that they deserved one another.
I enjoyed the book, recommend it, and will read more by this author.
Keane evokes the atmosphere of the bustling and booming New York of the time to life as she details both Mary's day-to-day life and the work of "sanitation engineer" Dr. George Soper, who uses basic detective work and the scientific method to trace the infections back to her. It's this "one-two punch" the makes the novel so compelling.

No descriptions found.
On the eve of the twentieth century, Mary Mallon emigrated from Ireland at age fifteen to make her way in New York City. Brave, headstrong, and dreaming of being a cook, she fought to climb up from the lowest rung of the domestic-service ladder. Canny and enterprising, she worked her way to the kitchen, and discovered in herself the true talent of a chef. Sought after by New York aristocracy, and with an independence rare for a woman of the time, she seemed to have achieved the life she'd aimed for when she arrived in Castle Garden. Then one determined "medical engineer" noticed that she left a trail of disease wherever she cooked, and identified her as an "asymptomatic carrier" of Typhoid Fever. With this seemingly preposterous theory, he made Mallon a hunted woman.… (more)

As many of you know Hurricane Sandy roared through the Northeast earlier this week and wreaked havoc in New York City and Long Island (IVCi's Headquarters). Monday night my husband and I simply watched the sky light up as trees blew over and knocked down transformers. Approximately 90% of Long Island's power was knocked out, along with all of lower Manhattan, due to immense flooding and downed trees/power lines. The effects of Hurricane Sandy will be felt for days from as close as New York to as far as Japan. The New York Stock Exchange closed for the longest time since …Read more
This time last week I was in beautiful Monterey, California at the third annual VCI-Group conference. Today, I am hunkered down in my house anxiously awaiting Hurricane Sandy, aka Frankenstorm, aka The Ring of Evil. As I look outside at the wind and rain that are only going to get much worse I can't help but think about sunny California. Polycom, Cisco and Vidyo gave keynote speeches each morning of the conference. While they all gave their own take on where the industry was going there was one key theme – convenience. Convenience is what drives adoption and it's what is …Read more

As visual collaboration announcements about new products continue to hit the news it can be somewhat challenging to discern the technical jargon from the user benefit. Nearly all of these announcements refer back to some set of technical terms that may be lauded in the announcement but aren't fully explained.

SVC – Scalable Video Coding: Up until now most major video conferencing manufacturers have built their solutions around AVC (Advanced Video Coding). Essentially AVC and SVC are formats of compression technology that allow high definition video to be sent across networks in an …Read more

Extent of drug misuse
Demand for drugs
Supply of drugs
Problems of drug misuse
Further reading
This chapter gives an overview of the extent of drug misuse and provides a context for the discussion covered in the remainder of the book. It focuses mainly on the UK, but includes references to other countries as appropriate. The chapter begins by looking at the types of drugs misused, the kinds of people who take them and the number of drug users in the population. It then examines the sources of supply of drugs entering the country, the types of drugs supplied and the nature of drug markets. Finally, the chapter considers some of the problems associated with drug misuse, including the problems of addiction and dependence, health problems, economic and social costs, and drug-related deaths.
The early part of the chapter makes a distinction between measures of the demand and supply for drugs. While the two concepts are similar, in that for every buyer there is a seller, the methods of measuring drug misuse often fall into one or other of these two categories. The section on demand discusses the nature and extent of the population of drug users. The section on supply discusses the origins and distribution of drugs.
Information about the extent of drug use can be obtained by looking at general populations, offender populations and drug-user populations.

I have multiple WordPress blogs on the same host all under /public_html.
I'm running them on a single database. Once I made the first one with all the themes and plugins I'm interested in, I just copy the whole /public_html/wp directory (my original install) to a new location (typically addon domain) and I edit the wp-config.php $table_prefix field and get s new install. I next have to activate all the same plugins (entering the same ids etc and setting up) and design my look and feel with the same widgets, theme etc.
This takes quite a while (I have many plugins and widgets).
Is there any fast way of duplicating the whole site (including the ids in various plugins, the widgets, the selected theme etc) quickly and then I could make the minor changes like the name of the new blog, affiliate links and so on?
Thank you,

The construction of a new wastewater pipeline between Ridgefield and Salmon Creek kicked off last week with a groundbreaking ceremony at the northbound Gee Creek Rest Area off Interstate 5, according to the Clark Regional Wastewater District.
The Discovery Corridor Wastewater Transmission System will create a new pipeline connecting the Salmon Creek Treatment Plant with the I-5 and state Highway 501 junction in Ridgefield. The $25 million project aims to support future economic development and provide low-cost sewer service to the area.
The system will include a new regional pump station to be built at the rest area. The pump station will be named for Neil Kimsey, who serves on the wastewater district's board of commissioners.
Battle Ground contractor Tapani Inc. will begin construction in earnest later this month.

Top Jindal aides use personal email to strategize
Jindal campaigned for his first term on a platform of providing more transparency in government.
However, the emails in question weren't among more than 3,800 documents and emails provided to AP by the Department of Health and Hospitals in response to a request for information on discussions surrounding the health care cuts.
Louisiana's public records law states that all documents used in "the conduct, transaction or performance" of public business are considered public except in cases where there is a specific exemption.
Administration officials didn't respond directly to questions about whether they were using private email accounts to shield conversations about public business from disclosure.
"Certainly we believe that conducting public business even when using personal means of communication is subject to public records law," Nichols, the governor's commissioner of administration, said in a statement.
Jindal spokeswoman Shannon Bates agreed with Nichols' assessment and said the governor's office encourages all officials to conduct state business on state accounts.
Bates didn't directly answer an emailed question about why she and Jindal communications director Kyle Plotkin sent multiple group emails in July to Greenstein, Nichols and DHH employees using their personal email accounts when talking about news organizations' coverage of the Medicaid budget cuts.
DHH spokeswoman Kristen Sunde said the department agrees "any state issues discussed over electronic communication are subject to public records law, regardless of the type of account used."
It's unclear how department attorneys and computer experts who do the leg work in responding to public records requests would know to check individual employees' personal email accounts for documents complying with a request.
Also, experts say, there's no certainty the individual won't delete public records from a personal account rather than turn them over.
"You're the only one really who can cough it up," said Robert Travis Scott, president of the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana, which advocates for transparency in state government. "It does lend itself to a way of getting around the law, if it's not properly handled."
Sunde didn't answer a question about why the emails that involved non-state accounts weren't included in the agency's response to AP's public records request.
She said DHH staff uses state email accounts for work-related matters, but may use a personal account if employees are working remotely, have limited access from a mobile device or are encountering difficulties with the state email server. Nichols offered a similar explanation.
After Louisiana's federal Medicaid financing rate dropped, Jindal decided the largest share of the Medicaid reductions would fall on the LSU-run hospitals that care for poor and uninsured patients. The governor is pushing to shift more care to private hospitals.
In a July 27 email exchange, six administration officials discussed how to respond to LSU's announcement of where it would make its budget cuts.
Nichols, then Jindal's deputy chief of staff, talked of the need to include a reference to "long term strategic reform" in the official administration response. Plotkin, the governor's top communications adviser, struck the word "challenging" from a description of the cuts. Greenstein agreed to use whatever statement was devised in coordination with the governor's office to respond to the LSU cuts.
In a series of emails on July 13 and 14, Plotkin urged Greenstein and his staff to "pen an op-ed from Bruce for all papers on why LSU hospitals need to transform the way they do biz now with this loss of money."
Using his personal Gmail account, Plotkin sent the message to the personal email accounts of five DHH employees saying, "We need to get out front on this message."
In another set of conversations about a requested newspaper correction, Lynch, one of Greenstein's top advisers, told a department spokesman not to use a state government email account.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - Arizona State All-America defensive tackle Will Sutton will return for his senior season.
As a junior, Sutton became the first Arizona State player to earn consensus All-America honors since Terrell Suggs in 2002 after leading the conference with 1.08 sacks and 1.96 tackles for loss. He had 63 tackles, including 23.5 for losses and 13 sacks, and forced three fumbles despite missing nearly two full games due to injury.
Sutton was the defensive MVP of the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl after notching 2.5 sacks in the Sun Devils' 62-28 win over Navy.

Amos Yee reminded me of a scene from The Sound of Music, where the nuns sing, How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?
Unsuitable for the nun's life, Maria, played by Julie Andrews, found happiness with the rich Captain Von Trapp (Christopher Plummer). Amos's life has taken a grimmer turn. Only 16 years old, he has been found guilty of uploading an obscene image depicting Lee Kuan Yew with Margaret Thatcher, who admired him, and making remarks intended to hurt the feelings of Christians.
However, the prosecution has sought counselling and probation for the boy, not a jail sentence or a fine, because he is young.

jez. are you sure that you ae not looking at the salzburgring? I woulnt condem it until you have seen a race there. there are fast curves and slow curves. have a look at he dtm race there and you may have a better idea of what its like. all very well having multiple hairpins etc, but f1 cars have to race on all layouts. roll on Austria!
john. personally I do not bemoan two races in usa. it is a very big continent and for a world series, it merits a couple of races per year. now compare that to spain where there are normally two races in a small country.
I think that bahrain was quite a good race this year.
I like Monaco, but it is probably the most pointless race in the calendar. I know it may be called a classic, but is there any real point to it? there are a number of old classics that have, alas , vanished, but unfortunately the commercial requirements have caused these to be dropped.

Coaching Services
Coaching Services works with motivated students who struggle with executive functioning.
Through one-on-one meetings, our trained faculty coaches work with students to establish academic goals. They help develop the strategies, utilize the skills, and establish and maintain the systems, structures, and routines that can support a student in meeting those goals. Coaching is student-driven, based on each student's definition of academic success. Coaches serve as facilitators for that success—asking questions that allow you to draw upon your own self-understanding and resourcefulness to create systems that will work for you, as individuals.
Depending upon your individual needs, our coaches also may provide education about executive function and ADHD, teach skills, suggest strategies and hold students accountable for following through on plans.
Students come to Coaching Services for support with:
- Planning and prioritizing
- Organizing
- Remembering to do intended tasks
- Getting started
- Sustaining motivation
- Self-management
- Managing multiple tasks
- Following through
Who can use One-on-One Coaching?
Any student who is ready to commit time and energy to setting goals and engaging in a process of change may request One-on-One Coaching. Occasionally, due to high demand for One-on-One Coaching, students experience a delay in receiving their first appointment.

- Fill out a paper request form located outside Edward Durell Stone Hall, Room 016C.

torchwood converse by elfy016Watch
©2008-2016 elfy016
I don't make these for other people anymore sorry!
Whoops nevermind! Sorry
Are you still making these? If so, I know where my Christmas money is going.
you can make them pretty easy. get sticker printer paper, print out your design on the paper, cut out your design, attach to shoe, and paint!
for these i use a tooth brush first to paint the 'outline'. put a little fabric paint over the sticker and brush away from the sticker. then flick paint off the toothbrush to create the splatter

Was there a certain website you got the Torchwood symbol from?
And thank you so much for this! I have about three pairs of hightops I can do this with.
And thank you so much for this! I have about three pairs of hightops I can do this with.
I just used google image search. No problem. I paint all my converse and I found with this method, most people think they came with the designs!
if i were to send you converse, would you still be willing to do these?
Are you still doing these ?
and does it stay on for a while? like if i wear them olot.
and does it stay on for a while? like if i wear them olot.
I'm not doing these any more. I moved so I'm no longer near a Converse store. I've washed my Ironman ones countless times and they're a little faded, but not bad for 4 years old
I'm seriously considering this, but do you do overseas orders (I live in Australia)?
I no longer live near the outlet that I used to get my converse from, so I'm afraid I'd really do these anymore. However if you have a pair of converse and are willing to ship them to me(or buy them and ship them to me) I can recreate these. It may take longer them normal, because I lost most of mt templates when my old computer died.
sure I can ship you a pair, I'd just need an address, and costs for postage. I don't know how soon I could get my hands on a pair tho' as I am but a poor student...is there a time limit?
Made of want.
i love it
super wicked
super wicked
so awesome! Now i have to get those. My lucky red DW ones will be jealous o.O
I love them! Do you post around the world? xxxxxx
OMG those convers are freaking awesome!
I wanna buy it!
how on would you be able to get them if i asked for a pair?
sorry for the late reply. either you send me a pair you have or i go to an outlet store near me and buy a pair. i then paint them myself. the outlet stock often changes so i can't promise that they'll be blue. if you're interested please note me for more details
does the paint stay on if you wear them alot?

it's fabric paint so it bond pretty good. i've washed my ironman ones a billion times and i've only had to touch up the areas where i used fabric marker. as long as you wait the recommended drying time of the fabric paint and then throw them in the drier on a low/delicate cycle to help heat set it, they last very well. this pair i sold, but my ironman ones started tofall apart from the wear and tear of the years and the paint looks brand new still. the only thing i'd worry about it colors. red tends to fade faster then other colors so if you wear them out in intense sun a lot the colors may fade, but then again so will the canvas
sigh.. if only i didnt live in the US
i am confused by your statement
I love these shoes but almost no one in the US even knows what Doctor Who is, let alone torchwood....

I totally want these!!
I totally want these!!
*sigh* I have the money, but, alas, live in Australia.
Omg I'm so interested in getting some :3 I have b-day money but how exactly is the process of the transaction of money done? Via paypal or other means?
i do all my transactions through paypal. if you want i can also make a spot on etsy for you to "order" so it's easier to get a hold of me if there is a problem. if you want me to buy the converses i need to warn you that my next trip to st. augustine won't be for 1-2 weeks. basicly when ever i get a day off if you order a pair. also i need a list of colors you like because 90% of the time they don't have that shade of blue in ^^:
Ok thanks for the info! I'll let you know by the end of this week since my cousin has let me pick whatever I wanted from the internet for birthday =]
i love them!! i wish i had a pair of red ones
OMG! They are amazing! I love them! I wish I could have a pair like that! I wouldn't let them out of my sight!!
