DEMING — Four Nooksack Indian Tribe members have filed suit in Tribal Court to try to stop tribal leaders from disenrolling 306 people, or about 15 percent of total membership of the Deming-based tribe.
The plaintiffs claim they do have at least the one-fourth degree Indian blood required for Nooksack membership and they ask for an injunction to "prevent cultural genocide" by the Nooksack Tribal Council and other Nooksack officials.
The first court hearing on the matter, filed March 15, may come on May 1.

Risk of displacement remains highest in manufacturing
August 10, 2000
From January 1997 through December 1999, 3.3 million workers were displaced from jobs they had held for at least 3 years. The number of displaced workers was about the same as the 3.6 million recorded 2 years earlier in a survey that measured job losses from January 1995 through December 1997.
As was the case in prior surveys, manufacturing continued to make up the largest share of displaced workers. Over the 1997-99 period, 1.0 million factory workers lost jobs, accounting for about 1 in every 3 displacements. This was about twice manufacturing's share of employment.
Substantial numbers of workers were displaced from service-producing industries as well. Displacements in wholesale and retail trade (616,000) and in finance, insurance, and real estate (245,000) accounted for 19 and 8 percent, respectively, of all workers displaced over the 1997-99 period. For both, this was more than their share of employment, indicating that workers in these industries had an above-average risk of being displaced.
These data are a product of the Current Population Survey. Displaced workers are defined as persons 20 years of age and older who lost or left jobs because their plant or company closed or moved, there was insufficient work for them to do, or their position or shift was abolished. Get more information in Worker Displacement in the Late 1990s, News Release USDL 00-223.

[SOLVED] PUZZLE #6 - We Are Born, And We Die - Los Angeles, CA - May 19th
After a great community effort from LPA members, the Brazil clue has been confirmed to lead to Los Angeles, California at the Japanese American National Museum.
369 East First Street
Los Angeles, California 90012
Be there Saturday, May 19th. 11AM - 5PM.
Linkin Park fans @spoileddxbrat @contains_nuts @pandayna @jadesloth found the clue at the Japanese American Museum! The clue was handed to them in an envelope by this man, which contained the following phone number:
The phone number when dialled lead to a message spoke in German, which you can listen to below:
Once it was posted online the message was translated by @BlackChester which read the following, revealing our next location:
"The next clue waits at the reception of MTV Germany on May 22 during business hours from 10am & 6pm"
[SOLVED] PUZZLE #5 - Waffles & Cakes - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - May 17th
Justin Sohn, finder of the Chicago clue, tweeted the LPA with the information inside the tag of the Brazil shirt he picked up at the Lincoln Park Zoo. The next part of the scavenger hunt leads to Forte de Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Thanks to LPA Member VictorLPWE for the translation which reads:
The next clue is within the gates of Fort Copacabana. Take the opportunity to eat some traditional sweets, cakes and waffles.
May 17, during normal business hours only.
It's safe to assume that the next clue can be found at the Cafe Forte, where the site description reads: At Cafe Forte - Confectionery Colombo you find the perfect setting to take your breakfast or lunch even more special. Besides the traditional sweet and savory waffles, the menu also has salads, sandwiches, crepes and pasta. It is located in the visiting area of the Fort of Copacabana and works Having the Sun and public holidays from 10h to 20h.
The next part of the hunt is to arrive at Cafe Forte between 10AM - 8PM on May 17th.
UPDATE MAY 17th: Clue was obtained by the following Twitter users @maryakira @MarceloBe @ulyssessena @leozinhomazza and @WesleyLPBR who photographed the clue. Check out the images below.
Wesley also took some close up shots of what appears to be details in the top two corners of the clue:
As far as we're aware, this card was the only piece of information within the envelope and there was no hint for the next location. Is there something hidden in the card? Fans believe there's hidden text in the upper two corners of the clue. Now we speculate and try and figure out what this could mean.
UPDATE MAY 17TH: Many fans began to speculate the next location from the text. Twitter user @lpdepressao pointed out that the usage of the word "BORN" and "DIES" could be a reference to Mike Shinoda's Art show in 2008 GLORIOUS EXCESS: BORN and GLORIUOS EXCESS: DIES, suggesting the next clue could be at the Japanese American Museum in Los Angelse, CA.
UPDATE MAY 17th: LPA newcomer, MX1 pointed out that the vague text in the top two corners of the Brazil clue could in fact be reminiscent of a painting featured in Mike's Art show entitled "SONG". The text in the top right hand corner appears to be the same as the clue, which reads: "SHOCKING RELAPSE".
Could this lead to the Japanese American Museum in Los Angeles where the exhibition took place?
[SOLVED] PUZZLE #4 - This Is Where LIVING THINGS Comes Alive - Chicago, IL - MAY 15th
The discovery of this image in Toronto leads to The Lincoln Park Zoo. Gateway Pavillion in Chicago Illinois.
Be there at regular business hours!
UPDATE MAY 15th: LPA Member 11:54 managed to confirm that the clue is in an envelope waiting to be collected in the zoo entrance according to an employee on the telephone. We just need ONE person to go and collect it and photograph it to progress the puzzle.
UPDATE MAY 15th: Twitter user Justin Sohn (@JustinSohn1) found the clue and revealed it to be a shirt reading "Brazil". That's all we know so far with no specific details on where exactly in Brazil the next clue could be. Time to speculate!
UPDATE MAY 15th: Linkin Park marketing manager Adam Ruehmer tweeted Justin Sohn the following "I hope you read the tag on the shirt". I guess there's more to this than originally known. Now we just need to let Justin know!
UPDATE MAY 15th: Justin contacted the LPA through Twitter with an image of the shirt tag which can be seen below!
The tag has been translated and confirmed to lead to Brazil!

[SOLVED] PUZZLE #2 Part 2 - "Allan" - Twitter
Within moments of Nicofarre opening, two LPAers on twitter @KaoruTK who worked together with @karinseino, were greeted by someone with an envelope that contained an URL to the
following twitter feed: https://twitter.com/#!/youbetterhearme .
On that page, users were met with the following tweet:
At first it was thought that the puzzle was 100% solved, until Mike tweeted the following:
Later Allan responded with this:
And then Mike with this:
It should be noted that the clue was handed to those two people in an envelope that contained the twitter URL by someone who was NOT wearing a A Thousand Horizons shirt. Hilariously enough, when asked about it...apparently LPAers were there so quickly that according to this person he didn't have enough time to put the shirt on! When karin attempted to return to NicoFarre she was turned away and told there are no more clues there.
Also, the instructions for finding "Allan" at NicoFarre are now crossed out, suggesting this part of the mission is over...for now. http://www.linkinpark.com/youdidittoyourself
UPDATE MAY 10th: @youbetterhearme (Allan) tweeted an update proclaiming the next step in the puzzle may be unveiled after he reaches 3000 followers.
UPDATE MAY 11th: @youbetterhearme reached 3000 followers at 12:28AM PDT | 3:38AM EDT| 8:38AM BST - Now we wait.
UPDATE MAY 11th: @youbetterhearme teased followers by following the Canadian Prime Minister on Twitter, hinting at the next possible location of the scavenger hunt. This was later reaffirmed when "Allan" changed their profile image to the Toronto Skyline.
UPDATE MAY 12th: The exact location has been subsequently revealed as a location in Toronto, CA - Allan Gardens, leading to the third puzzle.
[SOLVED] PUZZLE #2 You Did It To Yourself - Tokyo, Japan - May 10th / 11th
The QR code found on the digital poster in Sydney points to a brand new web-page located at the following address:
"You Did It To Yourself" are reportedly lyrics from upcoming LIVING THINGS track LIES GREED MISERY. The website reveals the following message in Japanese:
"Last September, "A Thousand Horizons" took fans from all over the world here."
"May 10 or May 11. 11am-8pm only. Don't be early. Don't be late. One person only."
May 9th Update - The page was updated to show the phrase: "You'll know who to ask for" with a link to an image of the following shirt:
It seems the next clue will be at NicoFarre in Tokyo, Japan, the location of last September's A Thousand Horizon event. If you live in Tokyo, Japan and can make your way to the Roppongi district at the times mentioned in the message, chances are you'll be the person to find the next clue in the scavenger hunt, which following the update of the image of the shirt, is likely to be a person wearing it with an indication of the next clue.

Sunday, September 7, 1930 was the date set by a group of area Christians to revive the church of Christ in Groesbeck. On that date, 24 people (12 of which were Christians) assembled in the upper story of the Thompson building to worship God and commune with His Son, Jesus.
The infant church was persistent in its work and worship. They moved from the Thompson building to a Presbyterian tabernacle. A city lot on the north-west corner of Trinity and Commerce Streets was located and purchased. The first House of worship was erected (the present site of Henderson Flower Shop), and the first meeting in the new frame facility was May 1, 1935.
In the mid-1960's, members of the "Commerce Street Church" and the "Southside Church" (the old Ben Hur Church), worked toward a merger. The old Courthose lot was purchased, and a spacious brick edifice was constructed thereon in 1966. A later expansion was completed in 1987.
Since that early and humble beginning, the Lord has blessed this community with literally hundreds of Brothers and Sisters. Research into sparse early church records revealed only a very limited number of early members. However, those that have been discovered and recovered, the present Christian family wish to gratefully acknowledge, … lest we forget.
(pre-September 7, 1930)
While living in Kosse, John W. Hedge was urged by J. W. Ferrill and others to conduct a "Mission meeting" in Groesbeck during October of 1928. Arrangements were made to use the District Court room of the Courthouse as a location for the meeting. Brother Hedge was assisted by Brother H. L. Reynolds of Marlin as song leader.
John W. Hedge wrote of that meeting in a personal letter. "We had large crowds and a great interest was manifested; but none were obedient to the gospel of Christ. At that time there was one or two members living in Groesbeck, and these attended worship at Box Church or elsewhere."
Shortly after the Malcolm A. Smith family moved from Big Hill into Groesbeck, he joined others in a serious effort to establish the Lord's church in this city, September 7, 1930 was the date set for the first meeting. People gathered in the upper story of the Thompson Building (located at 309 W. Navasota Street) for a ten o'clock Sunday service. J. I. Reagan of Dallas preached at the first service while Jesse Reagan led the singing. 24 persons, 12 of whom were members of the church of Christ, were present for the first service.
The infant church moved to the Presbyterian Tabernacle located on the northeast corner of Ellis and Jacinto Streets in June 1931. One month later, Elder C. M. Moser of Coleman was invited to preach in an out-of-door "protracted meeting."
Edgar Furr was the first full-time preacher for the church in Groesbeck. He served from early 1933 until the spring of 1935, when he moved to Lott, Texas.
The first building erected for the church of Christ was of frame construction. After it was opened for services on May 12, 1935, Jess Powell of Ft. Worth held a gospel meeting. It was reported in the Journal: "The revival meeting resulted in 20 being buried with Christ in baptism, 3 were restored to the church, and one placed membership. There were approximately 750 people present at the last service."
Some of the early elders of the church of Christ in Groesbeck included Frank Reagan, Jess Ford, Malcolm A. Smith and perhaps others.
A county-wide evangelist, Murdo A. Sharp, was hired August 1943. He worked in the county for fifteen months.
Malcolm A. Smith, instrumental in building the local church since its inception, was employed as full-time preacher in 1944. Brother Smith worked in this capacity until 1949.
Other early preachers included Reginald Beaver (1949-51; 1955-57), Carl McCullough (1952), Ward Stevens (1953-55), and Lynn Browning (1957-60).
The church in Groesbeck did not have Elders during much of this era. The congregation operated through a general meeting of the men. As needs arose, men were assigned to be the special servant or "deacon" over the designated area of work. Thus the Groesbeck church functioned from 1950 until 1966.
Roy Waldrum preached the Gospel in Groesbeck for three years beginning in 1960. Don Sowders moved into Groesbeck in 1963.
In the mid-1960's, members of the Commerce Street church of Christ and the Southside church of Christ worked toward a merger. The old Courthouse lot was purchased, and a spacious brick edifice was constructed thereon. The building was opened for worship in the Spring of 1966.
The congregation revived the Elder-Deacon organization in 1967. The new Elders included W. E. Corbitt (1967-98), J. A. Van Dyke (1967-78), and Estelle Ridge (1967). Elders serving later in this era included Milton Ferguson (1972-92), Grady Rasco (1975-77), and Rex W. Leach (1984-86).
Richard Williams accepted the Elder's invitation to move to Groesbeck, and has continuously served the congregation since September 1, 1967. Charles S. Daily also served as a minister with this church during 1979-84, before moving to work in Belton, Texas.
The church expanded its physical facility by constructing a new fellowship room, kitchen, classrooms, and office complex in 1987.
THE CLOSING DECADE OF THE 20th CENTURY
Late in 1991, this congregation selected additional men to serve as Elders. The newly selected Elders included Gerald Gibson (1991- ), Roland N. Slaughter (1991-94), and Rex W. Leach (1991-2001). Later in the decade John Nance (1994-2003) and John Rogers (1994- ) were appointed. B. K. Stone (2000- ) also accepted the responsibility of serving as an Elder.
The leadership of this congregation made a commitment toward the Spiritual growth for the youth of this community and this church. Men hired to serve the youth included Brian Bowers (Summer 1993, 1994-95; 1995-97), Shawn Mayes (1993-94), David Ware (1995), Finis Brewer (Summer 1997), and Kyle Parker (1997-2000).
BEGINNING THE 21st CENTURY
The 21st Century began with two significant events. Matt Bomar (2001- ) arrived in Groesbeck to work with families and youth of the church and community. Two years later, Ken Neyland (2004- ) was selected by the congregation to serve as one of its Elders.
Elders serving the Groesbeck church of Christ at the beginning of 2005 include Gerald Gibson, Ken Neyland, John Rogers and B. K. Stone. Two local ministers supported by the church include Richard D. Williams and Matthew Bomar.
The primary focus of the church is three fold:
- Teaching Jesus to others: The Groesbeck church is directly involved in evangelistic efforts in Limestone County, not only in Groesbeck, but also assisting the support of men working in Mexia and Kosse. Beyond the local, financial and personal support is annually given to Belize, Ukraine, Russia, and India. This church also furnishes teachers for World Bible School.
- Strengthening the Groesbeck Christian family: Individual and group Bible study is emphasized and encouraged. Bible classes are available for all age groups. A weekly "Christians in Action" group dedicates itself to encouraging Spiritual growth and involvement of each member.
- Caring especially for the church family: Annual gifts are made to child care institutions in Buda, Quinlan, Medina, and Stephenville, Texas. In Oklahoma, financial assistance is made to homes in Hollis and Tipton. Special attention, according to capability, is given to natural disasters, catastrophic illnesses, and extreme financial reversals.

'In God We Trust'
From: "Scott"
To: "Positive Atheism"
Subject: "In God We Trust" On Our Money!?
Date: July 24, 2002
I'm not an atheist, but I fully agree that the slogan should not be included on our nation's currency. However, you are missing some vital facts in your argument. You should be aware that the Federal Reserve is neither Federal, nor a reserve. It is a private company that is required to pay taxes, license it's vehicles, etc., just like any other private company and unlike a government agency. (Yes, I see the irony in paying taxes with an unbacked certificate that you produce yourself!)
The US Mint, which produces our coins, is another story. The separation of church and state should apply in this case, and you should be able to make a strong enough case to get it removed from our coins. However, since the paper money isn't produced by our government, the separation does not apply.
Your best bet at getting your way with your plan of removing this slogan from our currency is to voice your opinion that the US Treasury should start printing money again (as our laws state that they are the only ones allowed to do so, and that it should be backed in gold, silver or any other valuable ore), and that the slogan should not be included.
As stated, I'm not an atheist, but I'm equally offended that the slogan is on the currency, from both sides of the argument: Church and State. Basically because the slogan indicates a mutual endorsement: The church endorsing the monetary system (very inappropriate), and the state endorsing the church (also inappropriate).
Best of luck in your quest, but I hope you'll do more than scratching it out with a pen. Pool your money and hire a lobbyist as the least of things to do.

Feb. 24, 2006
Senior Husky Women's Basketball guard Kristen O'Neill recently sat down with gohuskies.com. The Edmonds, Wash., native reflected on her time at Washington and the time that she still has left as a Husky basketball player.
GoHuskies.com: How is it now after your last game in Bank of America, to look back on your experiences here?
Kristen O'Neill: It was a special day. It was a lot of fun. I got there before anyone else and I just kind of sat out in the empty arena. It was good to reflect on my career and to take it all into perspective and really think about it and know that I had one more time to go out there. I was really able to appreciate it.
GH: How was it to have your sister there who had also gone through the same thing?
KO: I had my whole family there and just tons of people from my past that watched me in high school or had become fans while I've been here. It was just neat to see the outpouring of support from the community and the people who wanted to celebrate our team.
GH: Is it hard to know that your five years here are almost over?
KO: It is, and for the first time I don't know exactly what that next step will be. I've been playing since I was five. I always knew I wanted to play in high school and then in high school I knew I wanted to play in college and now I want to play on but I don't really know where that will be exactly. More than anything, I'm just trying to enjoy the last bit of time I have and make the most of it.
GH: Do you have any ideas of what your next step may be?
KO: WNBA is my ultimate goal, that would be a dream come true, but I definitely want to play overseas just to keep playing. I love the game and I want to play as long as I can. Having the injury that I did and having been sidelined for so long made me realize that I'm not quite ready to give it up yet. So I'd like to keep playing as long as my body allows me and kind of see the world a little bit.
GH: So after basketball is completely over, what kind of career do you see yourself pursuing?
KO: In high school I used to do motivational speaking and I really enjoyed it. I'm still interested in that but I also kind of see the possibilities are endless so being in the broad field of communications there are so many things I could do, so I'm not locked in to any one thing.
GH: Would you like to stay in this area?
KO: I'm not really set on staying in this area. My family and a lot of my friends are here but I've lived in Washington my entire life, so maybe I'll get it out of my system when I go and live overseas for a while. Being around my family is important to me, but for the most part I'm not tied down here.
GH: The team is traveling to the Bay Area this weekend, so what is the team's attitude heading down there?
KO: We want to get two wins obviously. Stanford is a great team and it's always a big test whenever we play them. We've beaten them once already but we know that this time they're going to be ready for us. It's going to be very competitive but that's what the post season is all about. It will be high-level basketball and we're just going to try to get two wins in and have fun before going into the Pac-10 tournament.
GH: How do you enjoy coming off the bench? Are you okay with that?
KO: Like I've said before I'm okay with whenever they want to put me in. Coming off the bench is what the coaches want and that's how they feel that I'm best, so I'm fine with it.
GH: You had to come off of an injury yourself after your sophomore season. Can you talk about what you think Jill Bell is going through?
KO: It's definitely hard not being able to do what you want to do because of an injury. I know injuries in general, it just takes a lot of mental focus because you have to be sharp and put in a lot of effort to get things done because your body might not be totally ready.
GH: What are some of your favorite road trips you've ever taken and maybe some of the best places you've played?
KO: I've gotten to see so many great places! Notre Dame has been my favorite place I think. We also got to take a trip to Hawaii a couple years ago which was nice although I wasn't able to play there, so I was just walking around with my boot on which made it really hot. In the Pac-10, I think the Southern Cal trip is always fun because it's a change of scenery and you get to see the sun and go to the beach and all of that. I think going on the road in the Pac-10 is so competitive, so that makes it fun.
GH: What's the hardest venue to play?
KO: In my five years probably the Pit (University of Oregon). Everyone says that, but they've always been on their A-game against us and their home crowd is really behind them whenever we play. It's a hard place to play, but it's also fun because it's a great college atmosphere. The way that their court is the fans are really on top of you.
GH: Have you personally ever been the subject of chants from the crowds of other teams?
KO: From time to time, but for the most part I try to block them out and not listen. I hear some of the comments but I usually try to not pay attention to it.
GH: Which crowd do you think has been the most outspoken?
KO: Oregon State fans are notorious and are usually pretty animated. They don't sit the whole time and it's ongoing throughout the whole game so that's pretty funny. We all tend to laugh about it and then after the game compare notes about what people said.
GH: What has been the most fun, or who has been the funniest since you've been at Washington?
KO: I don't know if I can even say one thing because there's always comedy, my teammates are hilarious! In the training room, or the locker room, someone is always doing something to make me laugh so I think all of those together are what is going to make me look back on this experience and I guess just remember all of the girls and all we've been through together.
GH: If you had to say one person who you'd miss the most, who would you pick?
KO: Well, picking one, that's tough because I'm going to miss everyone in their own way, but obviously Kayla, Nicole and Erica. We've been together through it all and we've been together for the longest amount of time.
GH: What advice would you give to the rest of the team considering they're a pretty young team and will have a lot to learn next year?
KO: I would say that a sense of urgency is important. You can never take anything for granted. I'm hoping that we go to the NCAA tournament this year, but looking back on the last five years I don't see a reason why we shouldn't have gone every year. We could have. We had the talent. We had the potential. So I think looking back on that, knowing we were good enough, and didn't make it doesn't sit so well. I hope that those girls realize the incredible talent and opportunities that they have and really take advantage of it from the beginning of the season, and even in the off-season really work for it. Washington can become the powerhouse and continue to be a strong team on a national level.
GH: The Huskies were picked seventh in the Pac-10 during the preseason poll. What do you have to say about those early prognostications now?
KO: The Pac-10 has been crazy with upsets and ups and downs and anyone can go anywhere as we've seen and win. I think at the beginning it was kind of a slap in the face because we had our whole team returning from last year. But we knew that we didn't perform to what we were capable of last year so we had to prove ourselves, which I think we've done. Other teams have to take us more seriously but our whole conference in general is a very strong conference and there's a lot of talent. I'm happy that we're close to the top right now, but everyone is on everyone else's heels.
GH: Is there a particular team that you'd be excited to play in the NCAA Tournament?
KO: I'd play anyone. I kind of look at it right now as let's just get to the tournament and then we can play anyone we have. Bring them on! Whatever team, even if it's the number one team I want to play them.

Facts often have a way of countering emotional logic. In the world of daytime drama, use of statistics can prove to be explosive. So, prepare for the boom.
Executive producer Jill Farren Phelps assumed control of 'The Young and the Restless' in 2012. At that time a certain segment of YR loyalists offered a variety of dire predictions. It can be challenging, if not impossible, for some people to move away from a personal position after having invested heavily in it.
Phelps' first episode was seen in October 2012. By late-September of that year YR was being viewed by 4.45 million viewers per week.
Flashback to December 2013 and Phelps' staff can be seen crafting the ongoing 'Delia Dies' storyline. That arc, combined with Michael Muhney's unexpected pre-Christmas termination, propelled YR's average total audience from approximately 4.94 million viewers per week to its highest ratings (5.73 million viewers per week) in nearly six years by the time late-January 2014 arrived. YR was averaging 5.23 million viewers per week as of early-March 2014.
Some may cite other daytime TV factors, reference past soap opera's fates, dig into the Nielsen Ratings formula or offer hypothetical predictions in an attempt to cloud clear facts. But, Phelps' presence has obviously changed the audience of this show. Some longtime viewers have left, but more new (or returned) viewers have arrived to replace them.
The purpose of any commercially televised show isn't to please everyone all the time. Phelps was hired to reverse a downward ratings' trend. To-date, she's succeeded. That fact is undeniable.

text: The British govt played the game of Divide and Rule and tried to win over moderate nationalist opinion so that the militant nationalist could be isolated and suppressed. To placate the moderate nationalists it announced constitutional concessions through the Indian Council Act of 1909 known as Morley-Minto Reforms. In 1911 it also announced the cancellation of the partition of Bengal. Western and eastern Bengal was to be united while a new province consisting of Bihar and Orissa was to be created. The capital of British India was shifted to Delhi from Calcutta. The reforms increased the number of elected members in the Imperial Legislative Council from 16 to 60 of these 27 were to be elected. But most of the members were indirectly elected by landlords, organizations of industrialists and traders and by the provincial legislative councils. Separate representation was given to Muslims. The number of members in the provincial councils was increased to 50.Less than half of them were to be elected by landlords, organization of traders, universities and local bodies.

On Sunday, June 8, the group will present its first proper recital at the Swaner EcoCenter at 4 p.m. The concert will feature Broadway tunes, madrigal arrangements and barbershop numbers.
"This is the first time where people will come and sit down in chairs and listen to us, as opposed to them circulating in a room with a drink in one hand and something else in the other," said director Shelle Jennings. "We're looking forward to it."
Jennings, Anne Collett and Joan Townsend took time at the Jennings household before rehearsals earlier this week to talk about the Park City Treble Makers.
The group is Collett's brainchild.
"This is an idea that I had for several years before it came to be," Collett explained. "I called some women I knew from other groups that I have sang with over the years and asked them if they might be interested in joining."
Collett called Jennings to see if she was interested.
"She was very excited about this and we both determined that we needed to hold auditions," Collett said. "We did that in August of 2012."
The group is comprised of four first sopranos, four second sopranos, four first altos and four second altos.
"This has surpassed my vision," Collett said. "I am extremely excited to have come through at least two years in performing. I couldn't have asked for anything better.
A big part of that is the camaraderie.
"We know the people who are in this group and have sung together in one form or another in the past," Townsend said.
Keeping the ensemble small was a goal from the start, to keep things simple.
"This isn't a big 50-voice choir, although all of us love to sing with big groups," Jennings said. "But it's easy to get lost in, especially if you don't get along with the other singers. So, in addition to having a good voice, it is important that we work well together and have fun."
Jennings said the group is more like a family.
"I know that sounds hokey and cliché, but we've all grown in our two years together," she said. "We've had people who have suffered deaths or breakups in their personal lives.
"We're also of a certain age, even though we've had a member as young as 25, but the group takes in a certain personality."
In addition, there is a level of commitment that is expected.
"I haven't seen this kind of dedication in other groups I've been in," Collett said. "Shelle gets the best out of us when we're all here."
"They come because we have refreshments," Jennings said with a laugh. "We work hard and then the bar is open and we have water and juice."
Joking aside, the group members have found creative ways to attend rehearsals even if they are out of town.
"During the first six weeks of this year, I attended rehearsal via Skype," Townsend said. "We also had another one of us join us through Skype from Hawaii."
"We're all ladies who jump through hoops to come to my dining room that we call a rehearsal hall on Monday afternoons," Jennings said. "Most all of us are employed in some way or another. This is a gift they give themselves."
The music is also another motivator.
"I start by deciding if we want three-part or four-part harmonies," Jennings said. "The second thing I do is I try to get as much secular works as sacred works. Then I take two to three hours and go through music and get what I like."
The material usually isn't drawn-out choral works, either.
"I don't see us doing big and long works, but I do, however, see us increasing our repertoire," Jennings said.
The idea for the Swaner EcoCenter concert sprouted from a book club that Jennings attends at St. Luke's Episcopal Church.
"One of our members, Julie Crittenden, has done a lot of work at the Swaner EcoCenter and she contacted me in March and said the book group would like to do something for us" Jennings said. "She said the group would help organize a concert and provide the refreshments."
Jennings and Crittenden met with Sally Tauber, director of development at the Swaner EcoCenter, and decided on the date.
"I then went to the singers and asked the gals if they were interested," Jennings said.
The concert will last around an hour and include snacks provided by St. Luke's Episcopal Church.
"We will perform inside and, hopefully, depending on the weather, they may set up the refreshments on the back deck so we can all see the sandhill cranes and their babies," Jennings said.
"The Swaner EcoCenter has been so accommodating," she said. "Sally has been remarkable, and has been very encouraging to us and a friend of the Park City Treble Makers."
"This is one of the few opportunities we have as a group to open ourselves up to anyone who wants to come and listen," Townsend said.
The Swaner EcoCenter, 1258 Center Dr. at Kimball Junction, will present the Park City Treble Makers, a 16-voice female a cappella choir, on Sunday, June 8, from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. For more information please contact Sally Tauber, firstname.lastname@example.com or 435-797-8939.

I first heard of the Hissy Fits about three years ago when they were opening for a band at the Tap House. My reaction went something like this, "The Hissy Fits? Never heard of them, but damn that's a great name!"
And it's one they've lived up to.
Like a twisted, grungy snowflake, a Hissy Fits show is never the same experience twice.
Although each show can be unpredictable, what you can rely on is the fierce playing and urgent vocals of front woman and guitarist, Mary Jane Malace. You can also count on her swimming in a sea of sweat and possibly running mascara by the night's end. She brings it that hard every time with no apologies. Also holding it all down is bassist, Jenni Thomas, and drummer, Logan Laurent. Together they become the grounding wire keeping us, and surely Mary Jane, from spiraling off into some other plain never to be heard from again.
Recently, I caught them at the Belmont House of Smoke at the release party for their new EP, No Way Out. After the show, I got a copy and wondered how the live experience would translate to something recorded in a studio. Would it be just as killer without the show, the sweat and the running mascara?
A couple of days later, having no expectations, I put the CD on and sat back on the couch. As I listened to the first track, "Angel," I literally felt my jaw slowly begin to drop. And I believe my mouth stayed that way for the majority of my private listening party. So yeah, the answer to the above question is, yes. No Way Out is absolutely incredible, and has become one of my favorite releases of the past couple of years. Musically, it's very grungy, but with more layers. And the vocals, deliciously gravelly but clear, go from near whisper to full on scream with an incredible fluidity. Everybody needs to hear this. Period.
Over the years, I've seen and shot the band a ton of times, but have never had a conversation with any of them. That changed a few weeks ago.
Beth Austin: Who's who and what do you do?
Mary Jane Malice: Vocals, guitar.
Logan Laurent: Drums, backing vocals, occasionally guitar.
Jenni Thomas: Bass guitar, and backing vocals
Beth: How did you all become The Hissy Fits?
Logan: Mary and I had already known each other for almost ten years. We ran into each other again, at an open mic night, near the end of 2009. I was there trying out some new material for my solo project, Karacell, and she was there to play electric guitar and sing her original songs. I offered to back her up on the drum kit, already at the venue. About nine months after that, we started playing together regularly. I knew Jenni through our mutual friend, Rex, and we jammed together a couple of times. I knew her attitude and influences would mesh well with Mary and I, so she started playing bass with us.
Jenni: You had me at "early 90's grunge."
Beth: I've been going to your shows for years, I know this because I've shot you with all three of my cameras. My old point and shoot broke while shooting one of your early shows at The Taphouse, actually (laughs). That had to be over three years ago. So how long have you been together?
Jenni: We've been together as a three piece since late 2010. Our first show was January 8th, 2011, at The Norfolk Taphouse, with Geneva and Karacell, Logan's solo project.
Beth: Your name had me loving you before I even saw you. How did you come up with the band name?
Logan: As far as I remember, Mary came up with the name pretty early into us playing together, as a duo, and I loved it.
Mary Jane: It's based on our sound, appearance and overall demeanor.
Beth: Who are the primary song writers and how does your stuff come together? Is it based on your day to day, or…?
Logan: Mary usually starts a song off with a riff and a verse—or verses. Sometimes it's just a chorus and we develop the song as a band through jamming it out together. Sometimes we take two or more separate song ideas and put them together to make a new song.
Mary Jane: Topics are based on my encounters with everyday life and my struggles with that.
Beth: If I was looking around a music store, what bin would I find you in?
Mary Jane: I would like to think miscellaneous.
Logan: Cage free, grass fed.
Jenni: Slop pop.
Beth: Is your EP, No Way Out, your first recording or do you have other stuff? How was the process for you? Where can people get it and is there anywhere we can find a digital download, as well?
Logan: Our first recording was a digital single "Dress Up," with the song "Liar" as the B side. We only released it online. We recorded it on our own, in my apartment, at the now demolished Painted Lady, where we used to rehearse.
No Way Out was recorded with Ross Guthrie and Cody Dickover at their Harrington Labs studio, which is now located in Colonial Place. Their set up is perfect for capturing that live energy, where you can all play at the same time, but still get good clarity in each piece of the music. Recording with Ross and Cody was honestly the most fun we've ever had recording. The single and the EP can be streamed and downloaded at bandcamp.com, and we're selling actual physical copies of No Way Out at shows until they're gone.
Beth: If someone asked me to describe your sound, I would try by saying, Hole/Sleater-Kinney/Bikini Killish. Who do you listen to? Who are your musical influences?
Jenni: Those three bands are very pivotal in my ever wanting to pick up an instrument in the first place; but I would say the Pixies, Babes in Toyland and Sonic Youth explain me more fully. Kim Deal and Kim Gordon are for sure the reason I chose to play bass.
Logan: I currently listen to a lot of electronic music like Laurel Halo, The Field, and Daft Punk. My inspiration for the Fits comes mostly from the music I listened to as a teenager, bands like The Smashing Pumpkins and Marilyn Manson, also my love for 90's Shoegaze and 60's psychedelic rock. My favorite drummers are Steve Shelley, from Sonic Youth, and Maureen Tucker, from The Velvet Underground.
Mary Jane: I'm into the slow jams, hip-hop and Brooke Candy. But I also listen to a lot of GG Allin, The Germs and Sex Pistols… It really changes, day to day.
Beth: Mary Jane, when I watch you, I get a heavy Courtney Love vibe. Or maybe when I watch Courtney Love, I get a heavy Mary Jane vibe. Am I crazy?
Mary Jane: It's no secret how much I love Courtney, and I would be a liar if I said I wasn't influenced by her. I mostly go for the attitude of Nancy Spungen, Courtney and Wendy O. Williams.
Beth: When trying to describe a Hissy Fits show to friends, it usually starts with, "Oh man, yeah, I love them. They're such a beautiful mess…" And then I stumble through a garbled description and end up telling them that they just have to see for themselves. How would you describe a Hissy Fits show?
Logan: Haha, I'm just going to steal "beautiful mess" from now on.
Jenni: Like the sweetest night terror ever imagined.
Mary Jane: Ask me how I'm feeling that day, and there's your answer.
Beth: As a music photographer, I have those nights when I get home from a show and check my shots, and it might have been an off night. Or, just an okay night. But other times I have a "hell yeah," kind of night. As performers, what kind of night makes you go, "hell yeah?"
All: It's always a good night if we're feeling it and the audience is feeling it. The energy of the band and the audience together, is one of the most amazing and addictive feelings we've ever experienced.
Beth: Do you have any favorite places to play, and why?
All: We love playing the Taphouse and in Norfolk. Patrick Walsh always makes us sound great at the Belmont.
Beth: So, what are your future plans?
Jenni: Plans for touring are in the works. We have our eyes set on a small east coast tour during the late summer/early fall. We're currently working on new songs and hope to have something new out by the end of year.
Beth: Hole or Bikini Kill?
Jenni: Bikini Kill, hands down. WE WANT REVOLUTION GRRRL STYLE NOW.
Logan: Hole. Sorry Kathleen Hanna, love you.
Mary Jane: HOLEHOLEHOLEHOLEHOLEHOLE… HOLE!
Beth: Puppies or Kittens?
Logan: Kittens!
Jenni: MEOW!
Mary Jane: Puppies!!
Beth: PJ's or Bugatti's?
Logan: It's never a good sign if I end up at either, but I've never been to Bugatti's.
Jenni: At home in some PJs and eating a PB&J!
Mary Jane: PJ's hands down, Bugatti's is like being inside a genie's bottle…
It's just weird.
Beth: Wheat or White?
Logan: I heard somewhere that wheat bread was linked to Alzheimer's, so I've been eating multi-grain ever since.
Jenni: WHOLE MOTHERF**KIN' WHE… wait what was the question?
Mary Jane: White
Beth: Mean Girls or Heathers?
Logan: Heathers.
Jenni: Oh, this is a tough one actually, but my heart says, Heathers.
Mary Jane: Heathers.
Beth: Book or Nook?
Logan: Nook, save the trees!
Jenni: Oh, f**k the trees… I will always love that new book smell.
Mary Jane: F**k reading, I gots YouTube!

Karl Lagerfeld, the Creative Director of Fendi enlisted the talents of model Cara Delevingne for his Fendi Fall 2014 runway show during Milan Fashion Week Womenswear Autumn/Winter 2014 on February 20, 2014 in Milan, Italy.
The 21-year-old British model and actress of "Anna Karenina" fame hit the Fendi runway in Milan donning a stylish fitted black winter coat with the furriest hoodie, teamed with monochrome white accessories including handbag, boots, socks and even gloves.
Though the furry little Karl Lagerfeld-like stuffed toy with black sunglasses, white collar and black necktie in Cara's left hand stole the show. Or is it a little purse? It could easily be converted to a purse by taking out the stuffing and adding a zipper…
Fur plays a major role in this Fendi Fall/Winter collection, using a dark and neutral winter palette to include, black, grey, beige, brown, plum and dark green, with red, coral and even candy pink thrown in for a bit of cheer.
Expect to find chunky faux fur in a variety of colors – even pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle on a knee-length coat – and as fur trim to winter coats in the way of collars and hoodies and even in unusual ways on dresses to add interest to a simple sheath.
The jigsaw theme carries over to Fendi's fabrics used for dresses, jackets and separates in a variety of color combinations. While there are some gauzy netted pieces in black, some of the fabrics/knits used seem to be spangled with gold, for a touch of glitz and models even embellished their outfits with fresh white orchids.
While Fendi's boots come in all lengths, even thigh-high, the handbags are generally oversized and to be hand carried or worn over the forearm.

Organizing Your Beer Label Collection – Beer Label Collecting
Posted by admin | Posted in All Organization, Personal Organization | Posted on 16-10-2012
Beer enthusiasts usually end up collecting labels from their brews at some point in their drinking career and some collections have been generating interest from a commercial aspect as well; these collections do acquire a value over time and some collections are also extremely large!
While stripping off a beer label from a cold one is a traditional bar pastime, getting the collection arranged and displayed to best effect is not as simple as you may think. Some beer aficionados believe your beer label collection should be a personal history tour and take the reader on a personal pilgrimage through the owners introduction and education in the delights of this ancient brew (beer was originally invented by the ancient Egyptians). Others, with a more librarian bent of mind, believe any collection should be organized so it is easily searchable and arranged in a logical form which flows easily from one section to the next.
Believe it or not, there is quite a debate raging amongst collectors over which is the best method! Yes, believe it or not, George isn't at home! This debate is alive and well and celebrating a night on the town.
Whether you go for the two-dimensional, Dewey decimal version of the personalized, scrap book style presentation, there is no getting away from the attraction collecting beer labels has for many people. Microbreweries have been cashing in on the growing trend as well by bringing out increasingly changed labels to celebrate their brews. The larger breweries have a brand image and stick to it pretty rigidly but smaller ones such as Saranac in upstate New York, change their labels almost monthly specifically for collectors.
Whether you like beer or not, collecting beer labels is fun and interesting but despite being essentially the same product – alcoholic, liquid refreshment – the labels used on bottles is extremely varied, often funny, frequently artistic and like the real thing, once you pick up a collection you are going to find it hard to put down again. Especially if you end up adding the infamous "Santa's butt" label to your collection.

Kaiser Pinole Ob Gyns
Dear friends at BPN! I made the switch to Kaiser during the last open window period, and I am looking for recommendations for a primary care physician at Richmond Kaiser. Oakland Kaiser might also work for me. Also a good gynecologist recommendation would be great. I am a woman in my mid-fifties, a mom, a sports nut in pretty good shape -- I don't go to the doctor that often, knock on wood! But I would like a skilled person who respects my intelligence and listens. Those are my only requirements. many thanks! new Kaiser person

Long Island, New York
"You can't please everyone and trying to is the kiss of death. I don't care about Wayne Newton's demographics. When I do, I'll know that it's time to quit."
- Criss Angel, on pleasing his audience.
The star of A&E's hit series Criss Angel Mindfreak, Criss Angel personally reinvented magic for the new millennium with his dramatic rock 'n' roll sensibility. "I think it's time that somebody challenges tradition and really pushes the envelope," he says enthusiastically. "I want to catapult the art of illusion into the 21st century as Houdini did in the 20th."
Milt Larson, the cofounder of the Magic Castle, is quick to echo these sentiments. "He is the most important person in magic this side of Doug Henning," he says. "Criss is presenting a new and different form of magic. He's definitely bringing it into the future and I can't think of anybody who's doing it better." Criss Angel is equally adored by the press. The New York Times has called him "remarkable and entertaining" and Broadway.com has praised his shows as being "mesmerizing."
In addition to being a critical darling, Criss Angel is also revered within the magic community for holding the world records for the longest time submerged underwater, the longest body suspension time, the fastest time to perform the famous Metamorphosis illusion, and the fastest straight-jacket escape. With such a glowing resume it's no wonder that Criss was recently selected as the recipient of the 22nd Louie Award for outstanding achievement in the art of magic.
Criss Angel BiographyChristopher Nicholas Sarantakos was born December 12, 1967, in Long Island, New York. The youngest of three children, Criss became hooked on magic at the age of 6 when his aunt Stella performed a simple card trick for him.
criss angel in world of illusionCriss Angel committed himself to learning more about the magical arts and by the age of 19 he was routinely earning $3,000 a week by performing at children's parties and private events. These relatively modest shows eventually paved the way for more prestigious performances, and in 1998 Criss Angel appeared in World of Illusion at Madison Square Garden.
criss angel stars in mindfreakCriss Angel's energetic, rock-and-roll-infused performance soon became the talk of the town and he was invited to write, direct and star in his very own off-Broadway show which he entitled, Mindfreak. "I was supposed to do three months there and ended up doing 600 performances in just over 14 months," he recalls. He also made a tidy profit, earning more than $4 million during that span. The shows popularity subsequently spawned two television specials on ABC Family and the SCI FI Channel, as well as numerous appearances on television talk shows such as Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Tyra Banks Show.
criss angel on a&eA&E was so impressed with the buzz surrounding Criss Angel that they offered him his own television series in 2005. Criss Angel Mindfreak, as his show became known, quickly became a hit for the cable network. "The show became the No. 1 best-selling DVD for A&E," Criss explains. "It broke all sorts of records in demographics and became the No. 1 show in its time slot."
Of course, the show's success has also presented new challenges and Criss Angel has had his hands full attempting to come up with new and more exciting tricks. "We've done more hours in prime time with magic than any magician in the history of television in the U.S.," he says. "It's a challenge that I'm still trying to figure out in the process."
criss angel's mindfreak: secret revelations, cirque du soleil show Despite his extraordinarily busy schedule, Criss has found time to also write a bestselling book entitled Mindfreak: Secret Revelations (2007) and he has made guest appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, CSI: NY, and The Oprah Winfrey Show.
From September to October, Criss Angel stared in a special Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas called "Criss Angel: Believe."

I have some exciting news to share – I am heading back to school. As of this week I am a student again (what have I done?).
I'm enrolled in the Registered Holistic Nutritionist program at The Canadian School of Natural Nutrition.
I've been passionate about food and nutrition for a very long time so this is a natural next step for me.
I will definitely continue to share lots of deliciously healthy recipes with all of you (topped with a bit more nutritional information perhaps).
Speaking of deliciously healthy, I can't wait to share these veggie burgers with you. I've been working on them for a few weeks and I think you will love them! They're jam-packed with nutritional yumminess.
Although homemade veggie burgers seem like a lot of work, they're so worth it and I find it quite easy to throw a bunch of ingredients in the food processor, shape some patties and go!
These gluten-free and egg-free veggie burgers go so well topped with some dairy-free tzatziki or homemade guacamole (and a side of sweet potato fries of course).
Savory Almond Bean Burgers
1 large clove of garlic
1 small onion
1 handful of kale or spinach
2 tbsp fresh basil
I can of black beans or chickpeas (approximately 2 cups)
1 cup raw almonds (I like to soak ours overnight for easier digestion)
1 cup almond flour (see below for a nut-free version)
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp ground pepper
1 cup grated zucchini
1 tbsp ground chia mixed with ¼ cup water
2 tbsp coconut aminos or tamari sauce
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a cookie sheet or pizza stone.
Pulse garlic, onion, greens, basil, beans, and almonds in the bowl of your food processor. Remove and place in a large bowl. Stir in almond flour, salt and pepper, and zucchini.
In a small bowl, make chia egg and let sit for two minutes. Stir in coconut aminos or tamari sauce. Add wet ingredients to the large bowl and stir to combine. I usually use my hands for this part to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Refrigerate 30 minutes. You can skip this step if you don't have time, it just means the patties might not form as well.
Remove from fridge and form into patties that are approximately 4 inches wide. Place on prepared cookie sheet and cook at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Flip burgers after 15 minutes.
Serve burgers on a glorious gluten-free bun, or a crunchy pile of greens tossed with lemon and olive oil.
Yield: 8-10 burgers
We recently got our hands on an Excalibur Food Dehydrator and here's how we dehydrate the burgers: Dehydrate veggie patties for 3 hours at 110 degrees. Flip and dehydrate until firm.
Want a nut-free version? Use certified gluten-free oat flour to replace the almond flour and sunflower or pumpkin seeds to replace the almonds.
I served these veggie burgers at a birthday party and they got gobbled up so fast that the vegetarians almost missed out on them! That's a good sign, don't ya think?

Jan. 7, 2011
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama head coach Nick Saban announced Friday the hiring of Chris Rumph, who will serve as defensive line coach with the Crimson Tide. Rumph, a four-year letterman during his playing days at South Carolina, joins Alabama's coaching staff after five years as the defensive ends coach at Clemson.
"I'm extremely pleased and happy to have Chris join our staff," head coach Nick Saban said. "It is always our goal to go out and hire the best possible coach when we have the opportunity to do so and I'm confident we've done that in hiring Chris. He has an outstanding knowledge of the game, he is an excellent coach and teacher, as well as an outstanding recruiter. We are excited to have the Rumph family join the Alabama football program."
In Rumph's tenure at Clemson, the Tigers ranked among the top 25 nationally in scoring defense and total defense in each of those five years. The 2010 defense was 19th in total defense (320.3 ypg) and 13th in scoring defense (18.8 ppg). Clemson appeared in bowl games to conclude each of those five seasons and won the ACC Atlantic Division Title in 2009. Rumph coached 2010 All-American Da'Quan Bowers, who led the nation in sacks (15.5) and was tied for first in the NCAA in tackles for loss (26.0). He also coached defensive end Phillip Merling, who was the #32 overall pick by the Miami Dolphins in the 2008 NFL Draft.
"I'm excited about the opportunity to join the staff at the University of Alabama and work with Coach Saban," Rumph said. "He is the best head coach in college football and this is really a great chance to learn from Coach Saban and further develop as a coach. Growing up in the southeast, the history and tradition at Alabama is something I have appreciated since I was a kid and it will be an honor to coach at such a storied program. My wife and kids are looking forward to making the move to Tuscaloosa and becoming a part of the University of Alabama. God has truly blessed me and my family."
Prior to his stint at Clemson, Rumph was the outside linebackers coach at Memphis for three years (2003-05). Memphis appeared in bowl games in each of his three seasons and won a total of 24 games during that time. He was the defensive backs coach at South Carolina State in 2002 following a five-year stint as head coach at Calhoun County (SC) High School.
Rumph was born December 21, 1971, in Orangeburg, South Carolina and played high school football at Calhoun County High School in St. Matthews. Rumph signed with South Carolina and played linebacker from 1991-94, earning his B.S. degree in 1994. He helped the Gamecocks record their first bowl victory in the 1995 Carquest Bowl. He and his wife, Kila, are the proud parents of two sons (Christopher and Elijah).

Ignition Excitor, Rocket Engine, Liquid Fuel
This is an ignition exciter for the J-2 liquid fuel rocket engine. An ignition exciter is a device that generates a high-energy pulse to an igniter (similar to an automobile coil). The exciter shown here is from early J-2 hardware and dates to 1961. The J-2 engine system was the first to use this type ignition system at Rocketdyne. An engine restart was required on the J-2 while in Earth orbit mode to send the Apollo spacecraft on its way to the Moon. On previous engine systems, pyrotechnic igniters were used as one one-start igniters were required.
The J-2 engine, using liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, was the powerplant for the second and third stages of the Saturn V launch vehicle which took astronauts to the Moon in the Apollo program. The Saturn V's second stage had a cluster of five J-2s, while the third stage had a single J-2. This exciter was recovered from Rocketdyne's VTS-1 (Vertical Test Stand-1) area, before the stand was torn down in 1996.
The Rocketdyne Division of Rockwell International donated this artifact to the Museum in 2001.

Double R Makes the Perfect White Shirt
Every girl has her own version of comfort-zone chic, but more often than not it goes something like this: a simple white button down, some killer denim, and great pair of pumps. We've already taken the guesswork out of finding the perfect pair of jeans, and new store Double R makes sure you have the shirt to match. The owners of the 600-square-foot Plaza at Preston Center shop, Jen and Ravi Ratan, don't think that one-size-fits-all. Rather, each shirt, tunic, dress, and jacket at their store is completely custom made.Read More

text: Dr. Larry Burriss Opinion: Dr. Larry Burriss' take on "Forrest" By Dr. Larry Burriss • Jul 6, 2015 MTSU MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (BURRISS) -- I've heard that the best defense is a good offense. Or maybe it's the other way around, the best offense is a good defense. Whichever, this is my attempt to strike first and head off what may be a problem at MTSU. As you may have heard, there is currently a move afoot to change the name of Forrest Hall, named for Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest. Is the internet redefining what it means to be an expert? By Dr. Larry Burriss • Apr 20, 2015 MTSU MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (BURRISS) -- For years Wikipedia has, unfortunately, been the go-to source for up-to-date information on current and past events. Almost as soon as something anywhere in the world happens, someone, somewhere, generates a news story for the on-line encyclopedia. Then the story gets edited by almost anyone who has access to the system. And therein lies the problem. Burriss on Media: Tracking By Dr. Larry Burriss • Jan 27, 2014 mtsu.edu MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (BURRISS) - With all of the news about the National Security Agency tracking our cell phones and e-mails, it's easy to forget that it's not just the federal government that is collecting information about us. Plenty of other folks have access to all sorts of data about our lives, and in many cases we don't even know it is being collected. Burriss on Media: Net Neutrality By Dr. Larry Burriss • Jan 20, 2014 mtsu.edu MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WMOT) -- Let's go way, way back to the beginnings of the Internet. Burriss on Media: Too Much Data By Dr. Larry Burriss • Dec 16, 2013 mtsu.edu MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (BURRISS) -- Two things seem to have gotten people really stirred up about privacy lately: the revelations that the National Security Agency has a massive program of data mining, and the fact that so many companies are collecting an inordinate amount of data about each of us. But somehow not very many people seem to have put these two concerns together. Pages1 2 3 4 … next › last »

Normally, you don't want to argue with someone who buys ink by the barrel. I suppose that's how they buy ink over at the Honolulu Advertiser (Hawaii's largest daily newspaper).
Each year they rank Hawaii's Best 150 Restaurants according to readers and Advertiser critics. Is there a better way?
I'd like to think so. You see, years ago An American Bistro was considered one of the island's best restaurants. We ate there one night. It was OK. Not great. But OK.
Apparently we were not the only couple not fully satisfied with the menu, the décor, the service, or that "certain something" that gets you to come back.
The next week An American Bistro closed down.
"The next week An American Bistro closed down."Not long after that we had dinner with friends at Bobby McGee's in Waikiki. It's been a favorite for many years. The service is special as the help dress up in various costumes and act out their character as they're taking your order and serving your food. Cool.
I should say, "acted out" because it wasn't long after that meal that the help showed up at the door only to find the door was closed. Bobby McGee's had closed down. For good.
Do you see a trend here?
Waikiki is the home to many fine restaurants. We saved up enough money to treat ourselves at Canlis—a fine and legendary dining establishment known for its service and steaks. On the night we treated ourselves at Canlis we were in for a surprise.
While the food was fair, it was memorable only because there wasn't anything special about it to remember? Service? OK, fine dining is supposed to be a little more relaxed, right?
Relaxed, I can handle. Comatose? No thanks.
Shortly after that visit, Canlis closed down for good. Shortly afterwards, it opened as a satellite Police Station.
Do you see a trend here?
"When people ask me my opinion of a restaurant, I hem and haw and change the subject."For about a year we didn't go out at all because we were afraid our curse would spread to other well known and memorable dining establishments.
It did. Late one evening we stopped at King's Bakery on King Street. They served the freshest, warmest, tastiest Hawaiian Sweet Bread you've ever had. Until a few weeks later when they closed down and moved everything to California.
Today, when people ask me my opinion of a restaurant, I hem and haw and change the subject. As to what I think is the best restaurant in town? Well, someone asked me that a few months ago.

I popped down to the International with David and Big Mark to play the £50 tournament on Thursday evening. I had been trying to organise a cash game, but Mark seemed keen to get some tournament practice in ahead of his crack at the Main Event in a few weeks, so off we went.
£50 got you 5k chips but, for a £5 tip to the staff at the beginning of the tournament, you received an extra 2k in your starting stack, so this was a no-brainer. I have played quite often at the International recently, but my table seemed a different crowd this week. Whereas my tables at the £200 and the £60 ROE had been fun, loud and in some spots drunken, last night was very very quiet. People hardly said a word, apart from the mandatory raises and calls and it almost felt like being at work. People hardly cracked a smile, and this isn't my view of how poker should be played, but I guess it is the luck of the table draw.
Anyhow - big Mark managed to finish first out of about 70 runners for a nice payday, David busted out first (!) and I came in the middle of the pack getting eliminated shortly after the break.
Despite only playing for a couple of hours there were some interesting hands - here they are:
4 limps (my table had a lot of people who wanted to limp, so I could see a lot of flops), and I find AK on the button. I make is 250 more and get two callers.
Flop arrives A, T, 4 rainbow
I bet 800 and take it down to get up to 8k.
I raise a couple limpers with 5d6d to 200 in the cutoff and get called by the button and one of the early limpers.
Flop arrives Jd6s4d
I bet 400 and the button calls
Turn is 2c so now I have gutshot + flush draw
I check, and am checked back.
River is unfortunately a blank.
I check and the button moves all in (!) for 4/5k or something
Doesn't make a lot of sense but I pass anyway.
Min raise UTG to 200 by older gentleman. This scares the crap out of me but I call anyhow on the button with 6s8s to try and crack him. BB also comes along.
Flop arrives J, 6, 7
I expect to have to give up but everyone checks so I take a free card.
Turn is a helpful 6 to give me trips
Checked around and I bet out 500. Older chap grumbles about button steal but passes.
UTG limps for 100 as do four others.
I check 9d5d in BB
Flop: 9,6,4 rainbow
I check wanting to see what the others do, particularly the UTG limper
Checked around
Turn is a 2, giving me a gutshot
I bet 500 and UTG calls
River is a 10
I think UTG has a hand like 77/88 a lot here so value bet 1100.
UTG moves in for 6k more!
This is the same villain as in hand 2, so he is starting to lose credibility with his river over shoves. I dunno maybe 9T secured a big hand on the end. TT? A bizarrely played big pair? 78 for the open ended on the flop? Anyhow- I pass.
Multi limpers for 200 (there is a theme here) and I make it 1.1k to go from the SB with QQ.
Very tight player calls on the button.
Flop is a bag of rubbish: K, 9, 6 all diamonds.
I have no diamond.
Button leads for 2k.
I shrug, and pass.
Getting frustrated now and down to 5.5k
I find AA UTG - ah-ha. Pocket Aces! Welcome back fellas.
Blinds are now 150/300 so I make it 900 UTG.
I get called by mid position and the button.
Flop arrive A, 6, 4 with two spades
Button is very aggressive so may take a swing at this so I check. All others check:(
Turn is another 4 giving me top boat.
Check again, and now the button fires 1500 which I call. I think about the raise here, but I think it shows too much strength, plus I want the other guy in the pot. Unfortunately other guy folds.
River brings another spade which I really hope the button caught.
I have about 3k left, and decide I can't make a really milky bet into the 6k pot, so I think my best chance of getting paid off is to shove, so I do.
Button thinks for ages, but unfortunately finds a pass.
Up to 9k at the break.
I see a free flop from BB with A5o with 3 limpers at 200/400.
Flop arrives A, T, 6 rainbow
Checked around
Turn is 7
Checked around to button who stabs 500 which I call as does one other
River is a K
I check, mid position shoves and button re-shoves. Hmm - fold. They both have QJ for the nuts. Down to 8k.
I hated this hand.
3 limps round to me in the SB. I call with QcTs and BB checks.
Flop Kc9c8c giving me 2nd nut flush draw + gutshot
I check to see what develops. One of the limper bets 800 into 2k pot and gets one caller.
Sigh. I have a good draw, but I might be even drawing dead with this bet that is screaming for a call. Maybe better option is to raise here, but then I have a tough decision if he shoves over the top. I call.
Turn is a total blank.
I check and guy now bets 1500 into the 4.4k pot. Other player folds. I just sense impending doom, as he seems to just be trying to slowly get his whole stack in. I call.
River is another blank as far as my draw goes (although I think it paired the board) so I had to pass to his shove. Yuk! Don't really know what to think of this hand, except that I spewed off half my stack which is poor. Down to 4.1k.
A few hands later I find QK in mid position and bang it in. Lady immediately behind shoves all in, so I know I am probably toast. Micro stack also calls off his last 800 or so.
Me: KQ
Lady: AQ
Micro: J8
Ace on flop seals it - game over. I try to leave as quietly as possible so as not to disturb the other readers in the library ;)
I've got the nipper now all weekend - next week will be packed with poker. A cash game, a couple of tournaments and perhaps even a small venture online.

heya Jim,
This is George, I did something pretty unethical to the Baron at Empire last night which pissed many people off. In hindsight I wish it didnt happen.
I dont have any contact info for him, so could you please pass on my apologies.
Many thanks.
(by the way, maybe good to reject this as a comment!?!)

Hello George - I called the Baron but he is not answering - I've left a message conveying your apologies. He is a gentleman so I'm sure he will accept them
(sorry - published comment before read the last line!)
