Ted Cruz failed to endorse Donald Trump for president. Snore. It's a sign of how out-of-touch our political class has become that they speak of Cruz as a possible presidential candidate. In him, see the rotting flesh of Reaganism, a noble political project that no longer speaks to our time. Continue Reading »

In the 1960s, Popes John XXIII and Paul VI initiated a new Vatican approach to the countries behind the iron curtain, the Ostpolitik.The tactics included a cessation of all public Vatican criticism of communist regimes. No serious student of these matters judges the Ostpolitik a success. Those claiming otherwise are willfully ignorant, obtuse, unwilling to learn from the past—or, perhaps, all of the above.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- It was a beautiful day for a trip to the zoo - for a little fun in the sun.

The event coincides with the zoo's Fun Fest, which officially launches Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and runs through September 30.

text: AT&T Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. One communications services player that insiders are falling in love with here is AT&T ( T), a provider of telecommunications services in the U.S. and worldwide. Services offered include wireless communications, local exchange services and long-distance services. Insiders are buying this stock into strength, with shares up around 25% so far in 2012. AT&T has a market cap of $220 billion and an enterprise value of $282 billion. This stock trades at a rich valuation, with a trailing price-to-earnings of 50 and a forward price-to-earnings of 14.75. Its estimated growth rate for this year is 9.1%, and for next year it's pegged at 7.1%. This is far from a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $2.15 billion, and its total debt is a whopping $64.53 billion. This stock sports a dividend yield of 4.7%. A director just bought 55,000 shares, or $2.05 million worth of stock, at $37.43 per share. >>5 Dividend-Paying Stocks for the Next Decade From a technical perspective, T is currently trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been uptrending strong for the last six months, with shares soaring from under $30 to its recent high of $38.28 a share. During that uptrend, shares of T have consistently made higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. If you're bullish on T, then I would wait for this stock to pullback closer to its 20-day moving average at $35.88 or its 50-day moving average of $34.95 a share. If we don't get those pullbacks and T holds above its recent breakout price of $36.19 a share, then this stock could easily hit $40 in the near future. AT&T, which shows up on a recent list of 2 Dividend Stocks to Sell for Profits, was also featured in " 5 Big Stocks Ready to Slingshot Higher." Prev 1 of 6 Next

ODT /directory
If anyone looked into the small, old, white car, the one with
a black strip around it, they would see a very sweet sight.
They would see a girl looking up at her father as though he
was god, nothing but respect in her eyes.
From the way she looked up at him, you could assume that if
he told her to go out in the middle of the road and do the
chicken dance, she most probably would.
But that is a stupid assumption to make, because her father
would never tell her to do anything that might bring danger
to her, like standing or dancing in the middle of the road,
for anyone could tell from the look of pure happiness on his
face that he loved her as much as she loved him.
That small, dirty, old, white car was filled with the vibe
and sound of pure happiness, in fact, the happiness could not
be contained in such a small place.
It was overflowing out of the car and making passers-by
happy, filling their ears with the sound of singing and
To the young girl, the dirty, old, white, small car only ever
reminded her of happiness and pleasant memories.
If anyone looked into the small, old, white car, the one with
the black strip around it, they would quickly look the other
way and hurry past, because in our society we are taught that
we should look away from things that are unpleasant.
Not only was the sight in the car unpleasant, it was sad.
We would see an old man, the signs of his previous stresses
in life showing on his face, but he tries very hard to mask
this, pretending that the happy man who used to sing with his
daughter in the car seven years ago is still him.
He tries to sing, but he is shut down by the girl beside him.
She sits there with her headphones in, listening to her own
''new'' music, turned up high, possibly to block out the
sound of her father.
The only time she acknowledges the presence of her father is
when, every few minutes, she tells her father to shut up.
When she sees the small car, she no longer sees happiness and
She sees how the car is so dirty that it has turned to the
colour of coffee stains, or the colour of an old newspaper.
She sees empty chip packets and the dust balls, and gets
extremely irritated by the fact that she can hardly see out
the windows because they are so dusty and gross.
Of course, she still loves her father just as much as she did
seven years ago, but for anyone who looked into the small,
old, white car, the one with the black strip around it, it
would be less obvious than it used to be.

'Stand Up for Heroes' Benefit Kicks Off Eighth Year of the New York Comedy Festival
The New York Comedy Festival has arrived. The festival turns eight this year, and will hopefully celebrate with humor children of that age can't understand. While always a showcase for chuckles, the first day of the festival has a higher purpose: supporting injured soldiers through the Bob Woodruff Foundation.
The event, Stand Up for Heroes, kicks off the comedy festival at the Beacon Theater tonight. The show, which will feature performances by Ricky Gervais, Jon Stewart, and The Boss himself, Bruce Springsteen (who does it every year), benefits injured veterans.
Stand Up for Heroes has raised more than 10 million dollars for wounded soldiers since it started, and comedians like Robin Williams, Joel McHale, and Brian Williams have all made appearances. Caroline Hirsh, owner of Caroline's on Broadway and the founder of the New York Comedy Festival, said, "We're so lucky that we have so much talent that comes out for this event."
The party is the brainchild of Hirsh and Bob and Lee Woodruff, of the Bob Woodruff Foundation. Said Caroline, "I got together with Bob Woodruff because I saw the documentary on his struggle with injury on ABC. I always felt so horrible for those men who came home hurt and with brain injuries. I wanted to do something for them, and then I ended up meeting Lee Woodruff and it turned out that he wanted to do a fundraiser as well. We met in April and had the first event planned by November, and the first year we raised over three million dollars."

Staten Island Yankees vs. Auburn Doubledays

Caroline has even higher hopes for this year. "It's a great event," she says. "It's such a high when we're there. Ricky Gervais and Jon Stewart will be there, and they're both so funny... Jon Stewart is quiet about what he does, but he's very supportive of the troops."
Watch Jon Stewart discuss the event in this video from 2009.
The festival does offer some less than do-goodery options. Louis C.K. will tell vaguely depressing and highly hilarious jokes about his family and sex life, Tracy Morgan will hopefully not say anything homophobic, and Kathy Griffin will probably talk about how hot her bikini body is. Remember, comedy is truth. Comedy is pain. And comedy is hopefully funny.

WHISTLER, British Columbia -- You are Kris Freeman and you may be the best cross-country distance skier in America, an Olympic medal contender for a country that hasn't won a medal in this discipline in 34 years. But you are also diabetic and instead of medaling in the biggest race of your life, you are lying in the snow, watching competitors pass you by, betrayed again by your body. And for once, you think about quitting and walking back to the finish. But first your body needs the strength to do even that.
You are Kris Freeman and you are an American cross-country skier, which is a bit like being a Dutch baseball player. You grew up hearing people say that Americans will never be good in the sport, that while you could win junior competitions here, you would get crushed if you ever raced in Europe. You didn't care. You love to ski and you thrive on challenges. So you kept skiing, steadily getting better and better and better until people finally stopped saying you couldn't race with the Europeans.
When you were 21, doctors gave you some bad news. You had diabetes, Type 1 diabetes to be specific, the really bad kind, the type that requires insulin injections. The doctors said that, obviously, competitive skiing was out. Your older brother cried over the diagnosis because (as he would blog later) everything he read about diabetes told him that not only were you done racing you were "going to die about a decade early after suffering various complications from his diabetes."
You didn't care. You love challenges and this was just another.
So on top of everything else a cross-country skier must worry about -- intense training, varying snow conditions, precise wax combinations -- you also maintain a proper blood sugar level with an insulin pump and a strict diet that requires knowing precisely how many calories and how many grams of sugar are in every meal. To keep the proper blood level, you also listen to soothing music and read books before a race.
It works. You showed them. You finished fourth in two World Cup races. You are able go to summer camps, telling kids without exaggeration, "There are no limits with diabetes. Anything is possible with this disease." You appear on the cover of Outside magazine's Olympic preview and on the "Today Show." You aren't favored to medal but you have a realistic chance. Before the Olympics, you told reporters that an American medal is "Sooooo possible. And it won't be a freak day. We can do this on a fair, even playing field."
As far as you know, you are the first Olympic endurance athlete with Type 1 diabetes.
You woke up the morning of the 30K pursuit to a heavenly day in the mountains, the sky as deep blue as a Dodgers cap, the temperature warm enough for T-shirts. The sort of day that makes people want to spin around and sing how the hills are alive. You went through your prerace routine. You calculated the proper basal insulin level needed for racing 30 kilometers and you selected your ski wax. You listened to soothing music (ballads by Guns N' Roses) and read a book ("The Cider House Rules" by John Irving) so that your blood sugar wouldn't spike from prerace excitement.
You had a terrible race earlier in the week due to a ski problem, but were you ready for this race. You are Kris Freeman, 29 years old, racing in your third Olympics and in the prime of your career.
The first 15 kilometers of the 30K pursuit is skied in classic style on one pair of skis, the final 15 in the skate style on a different pair. You went out as part of a mass start into the hills surrounding the stadium area. You were hanging onto the back of the lead group feeling "calm, relaxed and controlled."
And then your blood sugar level crashed on the fourth lap around the course. All of a sudden, your body stopped working, leaving you drained and weak and faint. This has happened a handful of times before in races and it isn't life-threatening, but it is dream-killing. You may say diabetes places no limits on a person, but it does place obstacles in front of them, and right now you can't get past those because the world is spinning and you are unable to do anything but drop to the ground. You are one of the best conditioned athletes in the world and all you can do is lie in the snow and watch your competitors and your Olympic chance slip away.
A coach with the German team sees you and realizes what is happening. He rushes to your side and hands you a bottle of Gatorade and an energy gel. Gradually your blood sugar returns to a proper level and you are able to stand. You are still weak but this is the Olympics and you are going to finish. After all you've overcome to get here, you are not going to have "DNF" placed next to your name in the race results.
You are in 47th place and you have lost 2½ minutes but you will not give in no matter what your body says. Eventually your body gets the hint and recovers. The last lap you begin feeling good.
And then the race is over. You have finished 45th, nearly eight minutes behind gold medalist Marcus Hellner of Sweden.
Among the nearly 300 reporters and photographers who swelled the venue media tent are just four American writers who bothered to show up to watch you race. They ask you what happened and you explain. "I'm crushed," you tell them. "I don't know what's happening. I've been gearing toward this for four years and in my worst nightmares, I couldn't imagine these races going any worse. It was just all of a sudden lights out, all of a sudden my body wasn't working. I thought that was going to be it. If the coach hadn't come up and given me some sugar, I would have had to walk back to the finish line."
"Doing a sport like this where there are so many variables," says your teammate, James Southam, "it's tough enough when you have an ideal, normal body status, but when you've got something going on like he has. He's done an amazing job handling it. There aren't a lot of people breaking the way for him and he's figuring a lot out on his own and experimenting and doing a great job."
You probably have one final race, the 50K on the last day of the Olympics. So you will go over what happened, figure out what went wrong with your blood sugar, recalibrate your basal insulin and race. Because this is the Olympics, and what else would you do? Give in to diabetes? No way. You are Kris Freeman and as you told reporters, "I don't identify myself as a diabetic, I identify myself as a cross-country skier."

My daughter and I stayed for 2 nights at the Las Almenas. Our choice for Las Almenas was based on the high scores on Tripadvisor but we really don't understand why it is rated so high (are all the other hotels in Granada worse?)
When we booked the hotel we asked for a quiet located room not near the elevator but at the check in we were given a room next to the elevator. As there were not many other guest (we haven't seen one during our stay) we cant' tell if the walls are thin but that doesn't' matter as the sound of the traffic overrules all other noise. I think there are no quiet located rooms in this hotel. The room was basic, small and clean and the bathroom was modern. There was an armchair in the room that almost didn't fit in the room, it was huge and ugly and blocked the aisle.
A positive thing is that the hotel is located near all shop and across the street there is a large El Corte Ingles with a supermarket so you can buy something to drink, as there is no minibar in the room.
You can have a breakfast at the bar next to the hotel or in one of the other bars nearby but almost all of these bars do not open earlier then 9:30AM.
Overall we wouldn't stay here again.

Greenpeace Raises Apple Rating After Open Letter
Greenpeace Raises Apple Rating After Open Letter
by , 8:10 AM EDT, May 3rd, 2007
The environmental group Greenpeace responded on Wednesday to the open letter from Apple CEO Steve Jobs on the company's environmental stance. The group raised Apple's rating in the Guide to Greener Electronics from 2.7 to 5 out of 10 - an indication that the organization was pleased with the Apple statement, but also that it seems at least as focused on rhetoric as action.
A statement on the Greenpeace Web site reads in part "Apple has declared a phase out of the worst chemicals in its product range, Brominated Fire Retardants (BFRs) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) by 2008. That beats Dell and other computer manufacturer's pledge to phase them out by 2009. Way to go Steve!"
In the letter, Mr. Jobs detailed Apple's plans to remove certain toxic chemicals from its products, enhance its product recycling program, and provide annual reports on the company's environmental progress. His words alone seem to have been enough to nearly double the Mac and iPod maker's ranking with Greenpeace.
Despite Apple's new found standing with Greenpeace, the environmental group is still looking for more. The organization also wants Apple to commit to world-wide recycling programs instead of just in the U.S., and to ship non-toxic products.
"Our work is not over until Apple users get that. We look forward to working with the new, greener Apple in future - toward the greening of the entire electronics industry."
Apple is still rated below HP and Dell by Greenpeace despite the fact that the company does not sell or manufacture CRT displays, was in compliance with RoHS standards before those standards went into effect, and has not used PVC in product packaging for 12 years. Many other computer manufacturers, however, offered more in the way of public statements even if they weren't yet following through with action.
"Upon investigating Apple's current practices and progress towards [environmental] goals, I was surprised to learn that in many cases Apple is ahead of, or will soon be ahead of, most of its competitors in these areas," Mr. Jobs said. "Whatever other improvements we need to make, it is certainly clear that we have failed to communicate the things that we are doing well."
Now that Apple is offering a more open view into its environmental plans, Greenpeace may find that it has to reevaluate again how it ranks Apple in comparison to other computer manufacturers.

I'll Follow The Sun: How Does Your Utility Rank On Solar Power?
How much solar energy did your utility add last year?
We know Australia has embraced solar. Germany too. Even Bangladesh has jumped on board. But what about U.S. states and communities?
For the sixth year in a row, you can take a look at the utilities that have done the most to incorporate solar power into their grids, thanks to the Solar Electric Power Association.
2012 was a huge year for utility-based solar in the U.S., with 2.4 gigawatts integrated, bringing the total by the end of 2012 to 6.1 gigawatts nationwide. That number represents over 300,000 solar projects plugged into utility grids.
They are ranked both by total megawatts added, as well as watts-per-customer. This means the big utilities with lots of customers are going to dominate the total megawatts added rankings, because they can invest in large projects. Small utilities have a chance to rise to the top of the rankings that measure solar energy added per-customer. The rankings take into account large-scale solar projects as well as smaller customer net metered projects that anyone could have on their roof.
Here are some key takeaways:
- 2.4 gigawatts = 8 natural gas plants: Utilities added 2,384 megawatts of solar capacity in 2012, compared to 1,480 in 2011. This can be compared to 8 natural gas-fired power plants.
- Both big projects and net meters: 1,106 megawatts of the total came from large-scale projects, and 1,151 megawatts came from smaller, customer-sited solar projects. There were far more of the smaller projects – 90,000 small to just 70 large, which gives you a sense of the scale of both how much power is generated from a large project, and how widespread the smaller projects have become. The large-scale projects grew the most from 2011: 250 percent.
- 88 percent through power purchase agreements: Utilities purchased the vast majority of the solar power on their grid from solar companies — only 12 percent of the projects are owned by the utilities.
- California domination: Pacific Gas and Electric's purchase of the 250 megawatt Agua Caliente project (which received loan guarantees from the Department of Energy), the largest solar PV project in the world, represented more than a quarter of its 805 megawatt total. Along with the solar power added by Southern California Edison and Sacramento Municipal Utility District, that brings California's share to well over 1 gigawatt. PG&E added more in 2012 than the entire country added in 2010. Sacramento had the only municipal utility on the top ten list, largely though its 50MW of large-scale projects.
- All panels: No projects fueled by concentrated solar power came online last year, though 750 MW worth of projects will be completed this year.
- Solar power concentrated: 80 percent of the smaller net metered projects were in California, New Jersey, Arizona, Hawaii, and Massachusetts.
- Northeast Ohio as Silicon Valley of alternative energy?: Looking at the watts-per-customer rankings, the Ohio towns of St. Mary's, Bryan, and Napoleon all made the top ten, along with utilities in Hawai'i, Tennessee, California, Arizona, and New Jersey. Rural Northeast Ohio is not typically known for investment in solar, but proportionally, it rose to the top in 2012. St. Mary's dominated, with 562.8 watts-per-customer (Kauai Island Utility was the next highest at 282.1). As Patrick McGowan, Mayor of St. Mary's put it: "It is my opinion that the City of St. Mary's should have a diverse energy portfolio embracing various technologies. I feel that Green Energy solutions, including solar power, offer our citizens clean and economical energy."
The rankings represent 96 percent of the U.S. solar market, with 260 utilities, so while this list is not comprehensive, it is one of the better snapshots of the progression of solar power in America. This year, solar power is likely to be the second-largest new source of energy. Lancaster, California has started to lead on solar power and recently adopted a solar mandate on new construction — perhaps it will make the list in 2013. Solar energy is expanding into communities everywhere, even affordable multifamily housing in Chicago. Now that the solar industry will soon be a net-positive energy source, it is a great opportunity to grow our way into a low-carbon future.
Is your state or city on the ranking's map? Find out below the jump.

Northwest Ohio (not Northeast).
Ryan, utility scale solar deployment has been a bust in the Mojave. Remember 2010?
We had over 4,000 mgw planned. Most aborted, leaving behind bankrupt companies and divisions and new plans for natural gas. Los Angeles even had to extend its dependence on coal for another five years, much of it coming from the old and filthy 2250 mgw plant in Arizona.
How could this happen? Solar is cheaper now, and prices have plummeted faster than expected.
Reason: Sabotage by putative environmental organizations. I am preparing an investigative article about it. Enviros challenged every single project- there is always a lizard or tortoise somewhere- causing multiyear delays, cancellations, and enormous mitigation costs.
I'm writing an investigative piece on this. Interested parties with more information can contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Looking forward to your piece, Mike. At the time I was rather puzzled that even The Terminator couldn't push these things through.
As an aside, we might remember that nameplate power doesn't mean a great deal for intermittant renewables such as wind and solar, particularly solar. What matters is the useful work one can extract from an installation: GWh, not GW. (Which is true for any power source.) Doesn't mean they shouldn't be deployed, just that they require careful balancing and analysis.
Were these 'environmental organisations' genuine, but couldn't see the wood for the trees, or Astroturf frauds mobilised by the Right? How much of the land slated for renewable deployment was really biodiverse and deserving of preservation, and how much derelict, exploited, land? The latter is something I've never seen explained. Just how much of the suitable land really deserves to be left alone?

Foliage Report | Peak Color Holds On In Southern New England
By late October, New England very much has a split personality.
Southern New England is finally seeing the peak of their autumn color, and it's been a long time coming. For weeks, residents of these areas have been teased by images of brilliant foliage from their neighbors to the north, in print, on the news, and all over the internet. Finally the color is theirs to enjoy and share, as widespread golds, oranges and occasional reds fill the landscape.
Meanwhile, Northern New England has lost most of the canopy, and there are signs that the long winter season in settling in. The cold front that moved through earlier this week dusted the hilltops with snow, and a skim of ice has covered smaller ponds in the mountains. Though much of the foliage now lays on the ground, there are still a few specific habitats where the color remains even though the majority of the landscape has faded to dull.
The links between these two regions of New England are many, despite the difference in the apparent seasons. Large flocks of blackbirds are flying through the Northeast now, lifting from noisy roosts each morning. Geese will join the migration overhead soon, with special attention to the snow geese that fly down the middle of the Atlantic flyway. The preparation for Halloween binds the region as well, as local farms with pumpkin patches drawing families to the fields. There is one connection this late October in particular though that has bonded all of us New England, aka Red Sox Nation – World Series Fever!
For those going out leaf peeping this weekend, the options are still pretty wide, but with each passing cold front, the range dwindles a bit more.
The best color this weekend will be found in Southern and Eastern Connecticut, all of Rhode Island, and Southeast Massachusetts, including the Blue Hills just outside of the Boston. In these areas, the sugar maples are peaking, and the oaks are emerging for a nice show of widespread color. A lack of consistent clear, cold nights recently has the color lacking a real red punch this year in many areas, but the oranges and golds that dominate the palate are certainly eye catching.
Another great area to visit this time of year are the Cape and the Islands off Massachusetts. It's a quiet time, with empty beaches and uncrowded towns, with great foliage and an added bonus of the ongoing cranberry harvest in flooded bogs.
The areas just to the north, from the Litchfield Hills up through the Berkshires, and over to the southern coast of Maine through southern Vermont and New Hampshire will all be past peak this weekend, but not without color. River valleys are holding strong with late maples, but otherwise much of the bright maple color lays on the ground. The forest has a beautiful muted tone from tall rusty oaks and golden beeches, as well as a host of younger trees below the canopy who are yet stubbornly holding their leaves. The coastal areas especially have a dominance of oaks in the forests around the bays and marshes, and are well worth a trip to see.
Between these two zones lies the city of Boston itself, a hub of activity this week with the World Series in town. The city itself is some of the last land to turn in all of New England, and still has a significant number of leaves yet to turn at all. Peak may not come to the city parks and proms until early November.
Finally, in the far north now, the only remaining prospects of color are in the understory of forests where young beech trees dominate. These hillsides rarely look impressive from the outside as the large trees are all but bare, but while hiking on mountain trails, the color that surrounds you down low can be surprisingly magical.
One last note this week, we've been surprised by how fast the season progresses through peak this year, with peak color only lasting under a week or so in many spots. If you find good color, savor it, as it won't last long! And be sure to share your reports both on our foliage map and our Facebook page!
Hope you get out this weekend…and GO SOX!

After authoring a custom plugin, how does a developer get the plugin listed in the WP bug-tracker (Trac) at http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/ ?
I'd prefer to "play by the rules" and use the standardized bug-tracker than set up my own, but I can't find any docs that detail how to do this. It'd be great to have bugs be "officially" filed in a bug tracking system rather than rants and glitches pop up in the forum posts related to the plugin.

Ron Jones August's Remarkable Man
My remarkable man is my husband of nearly 23 years, Ron Jones. When Cathedral Preparatory School faculty voted Ron to receive the service award at graduation, they knew what I did not yet know.
During the week, evenings and sometimes the weekends, Ron works as the administrator of specialty practices at Saint Vincent Hospital. In his spare time, he can be found volunteering at the hospital as a Eucharistic minister, taking Holy Communion to the home bound of our church, working on projects for our Knights of Columbus chapter as Deputy Grand Knight, holding positions on several boards, as well as serving on the Erie County Industrial Development Authority.
His other passions include his daughter and his family. He will go out of his way to spend time with our daughter. He might have had a horrible workweek, but come Saturday and Sunday, it's daddy time. It makes me so proud to see him being such a positive male role model in her life.
The seeds of service were planted by Ron's parents, and we are doing the same for our daughter. She is in first grade and organized her first service project to help the homeless in our community.
These accomplishments come from the desire to serve others and to serve God. I am so proud of my Remarkable Man, and love him so much for the example he is to our daughter.

Shook Twins take their first tour of the South
Published: Thursday, October 10, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 8, 2013 at 1:52 p.m.
Identical twins Laurie and Katelyn Shook believed calling themselves "quirky" would be a good description.
Want to go?
Who: Shook Twins with The Moon and You
When: 9 p.m. Saturday
Where: Jack of the Wood, Asheville, N.C.
Tickets: $7 at door
Info: 828-252-5445, www.jackofthewood.com
Fans of their group, Shook Twins, had trouble coming up with a way to describe the group's sound so the sisters coined the phrase "quirky folk" for their music.
"We thought it was a good thing but we're starting to realize its not," Katelyn said recently during a phone interview from Stillwater, Minn.
"I don't think anyone agrees with our definition of 'quirky.' To us it's something unexpected, some twists."
The Portland-based quartet plays at 9 p.m. Saturday at Jack of the Wood in downtown Asheville, N.C. Local group The Moon and You opens.
Katelyn plays guitar and mandolin, while Laurie plays the banjo, percussion and will throw in a little beatbox when you're least expecting it.
See? Quirky.
Add in bassist Kyle Volkman and multi-instrumentalist Niko Daoussis to mix with the twins' harmonies and it's apparent that the Shook Twins are more than just quirky. It's a bit indie and pop, too.
There are home videos of the twins singing together in the back yard at an early age, but it wasn't until joining a choir in fifth grade that they learned how to harmonize. Now it isn't something they specifically practice, though they are all the time harmonizing on stage.
"It took awhile to get harmonies going. Its begun to get easier," Katelyn said. "When one sings a melody, the other can hear the harmony."
There wasn't a definite moment that the Idaho-raised, blonde-haired bandleaders decided to pursue music as a career. While living in Virginia after taking a break from college, they booked their first show. It paid well and went well, Katelyn said.
"That was the first time we decided to keep booking ourselves and we'd see what happens," she said. "It kept going and we never really wanted to get real jobs."
Recently they wrapped up work on their third album. A release date hasn't been set.
For the first time, they worked with producer Ryan Hadlock at Bear Creek Studios outside of Seattle, Wash., for the new material and added a drummer to the sessions.
"To me (adding the drummer) makes it feel more glued together and added so much more of a groove," Katelyn said.
Drums aren't integrated in this tour, which is the first for the Shook Twins to play in the South.
"Asheville was the one city that I was most excited about on this whole tour," Katelyn said, "because we've heard for years that it is an awesome music town."

I am not a developer and I am struggling more than I normally do with this one. Obviously there's something I am missing here.
Am I able to use this with a native WordPress menu link to scroll to a location further down the page, or another page entirely, and if so "exactly" how please…?
Can you give me an idiots guide and walk-through because that's how I feel right now. Been struggling for hours!

AbstractNew technology is needed to collect, stabilize, safen, recover useful materials, and store human fecal waste for long duration missions. The current SBIR Phase I proposal will examine an innovative torrefaction (mild pyrolysis) processing system that can be used to sterilize feces and produce a stable, free flowing powder than can be easily stored or recycled, while simultaneously recovering all of the moisture and producing minimal amounts of other gases. The system will also require minimal crew interactions, low energy demands, and tolerate mixed or contaminated waste streams. The objective of the Phase I study is to demonstrate the feasibility of this improved process using bench scale experiments. This will be accomplished in three tasks: 1) design and construct bench scale processing unit that can accommodate different modes of heating (conventional, microwave, radiant/solar); 2) laboratory and modeling studies on a fecal simulant over a range of process conditions (temperature, holding time, atmosphere); 3) evaluation of laboratory results and preliminary design of Phase II prototype.

"Anyone who enjoyed Downton Abbey or Upstairs Downstairs will relish this feisty memoir." ―Dame Eileen Atkins, co-creator of Upstairs, Downstairs
"Margaret Powell was the first person outside my family to introduce me to that world, so near and yet seemingly so far away, where servants and their employers would live their vividly different lives under one roof. Her memories, funny and poignant, angry and charming, haunted me until, many years later, I made my own attempts to capture those people for the camera. I certainly owe her a great debt." ―Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey

Chile's September Prices Grow at Fastest Pace Since March
Chilean consumer prices increased in September at the fastest monthly pace since March on gains in transportation, food and beverages, indicating the central bank won't follow Israel's lead by cutting key interest rates.
Prices rose 0.5 percent from the previous month, matching the median estimate of 16 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Annual inflation accelerated to 3.3 percent from 3.2 percent in August, while monthly core inflation, which excludes fuel and produce prices, was 0.3 percent, the National Statistics Institute said in a report today.
Consumer prices often climb in September as food and transportation costs increase during Independence Day celebrations, Cristobal Doberti, an economist at Bice Inversiones, said today. Rising salaries and producer prices may cause consumer prices to grow faster in future, he said.
"The central bank will keep rates on hold given the current scenario," Doberti said by phone from Santiago. "A cut would be justified when we start seeing a bigger deceleration in internal demand. Companies continue to face price pressures, and whether they will pass those on to consumers will depend on internal demand."
Producer prices rose 0.4 percent in September from the previous month, the institute said today. Salaries climbed 0.4 percent in August from July, it said yesterday.
Commodity Prices
The global economic slowdown will cause commodity prices to fall, reducing inflationary pressures in Chile and eventually giving policy makers space to reduce their rates, Leonardo Suarez, chief economist at Larrain Vial SA, said in an Oct. 3 report. Inflation may slow to 2.1 percent next year from 3 percent in 2011, he wrote.
"If the global economic scenario intensifies, we don't rule out reductions in the monetary policy rate before December 2011," said Suarez, who estimated monthly inflation of 0.4 percent to 0.5 percent for September.
Traders and investors surveyed by the central bank on Sept. 27 forecast policy makers would keep rates unchanged at 5.25 percent in October and cut to 5 percent by January.
Three-month interest rate swaps, which reflect traders' views of rate decisions, rose 7 basis points, or 0.07 percentage point, to 5.12 percent today from yesterday.
Inflation will be 3.3 percent in December and 2.9 percent by the end of next year, the government's budget office said in a presentation yesterday. The central bank, which estimates consumer prices will rise 3.3 percent in December, targets 3 percent inflation.

Wonder Woman by Inspector97Watch
©2013-2016 Inspector97
Diana as she appeared durin the Challenge of Artemis story line...illustrated by one of my fav Wonder Woman artists Mike Deodato Jr
People complain about the New 52 costume reboots. The 90's reboots were fair worse. Great job though, really digging your work.
Not my fave look for WW but I really like your take on it and her
Thanks I like it because it was when she had lost the mantle of Wonder Woman...and though she still carried the emlem she didn't look like she was still trying to be WW while Artemis was
very pretty
I liked this outfit.
george perez WW: amazons are regal and matronly. enter Mike Deodato: time for some T&A!
like the pose. and her expression. someone's gonna get a punch in the face!
like the pose. and her expression. someone's gonna get a punch in the face!
I felt that Deodato's Wonder Woman added a bit of the savage warrior...and made the Amazons look much larger then I felt they were depicted in the past. Asside from the butt floss which she started to sport (Not that an island full of women would find that sexual in any way) they seemed a bit more serious
...Not the one I voted for but if I knew how small her shirt was I would have.
That's pretty spectacular, well done!
Nice work.
I did a pic of this version of Di (and one of Artimes as WW) too. Yours looks much better though.
love this outfit, but don't see it that often, nicely done
this came out veryy good, and you did a good job capturing the "bitch" part of biker bitch
your, welcome and i gt yor email. i like it, and while i like the head for the ocadile do you think people will be able to tell its a croc?
I hope so....that's waht i was referencing to draw him
Well, it may be kinda S and M, but this WW costume still beats the one she would have worn in the 2011 television show.
I agree
come to think of it, why does a Greek Amazon wear the American flag in the first place?
Because she is an envoy....and ambassador to the nation that the Amazon's consider the most powerful in the world. her task is to promote peace and demonstrate the Amazon way to man's world
That makes sense, but can you explain why she uses a weapon most often associated with cowboys? It's not the "making people tell the truth" part that trips me up, as that's actually a really useful power, but did the ancient Greeks even HAVE lassos? Maybe a chain or something like that, but a lasso just seems too modern to me
I'm sure they had rope...the had nets after all.....but Marsden wanted WW to have non offensive weapons...so he gave her the lasso.....he is creditted for having created the real world lie detector machine...the polygraph
Its a wonder she doesn't get arrested in that costume...
Kinda funny I know she wore this in for a while in canon. But I know this from the Amalgam series.
I always did like that outfit awesome job

49 year old woman | Perry, GA, United States | Seeking men 48-58 within 100 miles of Vienna, GA
I enjoy being a teacher, but I love to be the student!
Most days of the week you could find me working as a teacher. As someone who has always loved to work with children and make a difference in this world, what could possibly be better? Well, perhaps a date with a handsome and intelligent gentleman! A good sense of humor is a must in and out of the classroom! If you can make me laugh, you've got me! I'm a country girl at heart, but living and teaching in the city right now. I have lived in many small, country towns in Georgia, but lived in many big cities as well. Having a love for the outdoors goes hand in hand with my love for the country life. Long, Dirt roads, pecan orchards, ponds and lakes are what I truly love! A quiet walk down a dirt road in the country is a cure all for most things ...at least it is for me. I absolutely appreciate great food in fine restaurants, but am perfectly at home at a "hole in the wall" restaurant just off the beaten path...... Exercising is a must for me, but something that I really do enjoy...everyone wants to be fit...right? (I have to admit that it is hard to get started sometimes.) I am a very family oriented, loyal, kind and compassionate person who loves to laugh and enjoy life......Again, if you can make me laugh, you have accomplished the mission! I can carry on an intelligent conversation or just shoot the breeze with just about anyone. I love being with good friends and family and the people whom I love! I also cook a lot because you just can't beat a home cooked meal. At least you know whats going in it when you cook it. I am a Christian, so in turn, I would work better with another Christian who shares the same morals and beliefs as I do. Finding that right person is key .....that perfect match.....that someone who is honest, loyal,has integrity, and is intelligent. I would love for this special person to enjoy the same things as me....fishing, kayaking, playing tennis,exercising, grilling and hanging out around the pool....just doing anything on the water, or just staying in on a Saturday night and watching a good movie is always fun! By the way, college football is always a good thing too!
