Grays Harbor County Tries Tax Gambit To Stop Weyerhaeuser's Recreation Fees
A coastal Northwest county is the first to strike back against pricey recreation permits now being required by some large timber companies. The Grays Harbor County commission voted unanimously Monday to take a tax deferral away from private timberland owners that charge for public access.
This spring, timber giant Weyerhaeuser announced it would switch most of its western Oregon and western Washington tree farms to access by permit only during hunting season. Permit prices range from a low of $75 up to $550 per tree farm.
Upset hunters like Steve Bova crowded into the county commission chambers in Montesano, Washington to vent their frustration.
"What these corporations are doing is turning a great sport into a wealthy man-only sport," Bova said.
The protests convinced the county commission to reclassify tree farms that charge for access into a higher property tax bracket. Tree farmer Howard Wilson predicts an unintended consequence.
"If the large timber companies can't charge a fee, their next option is probably cutting off access completely," Wilson said.
Other county commissions under similar pressure from constituents say they'll watch what happens to the Grays Harbor County ordinance before possibly following suit.
Both sides now expect a lawsuit since Weyerhaeuser has previously indicated it believes the county action runs contrary to state tax law.
Even Grays Harbor County Commissioner Frank Gordon, who voted for the tax change, is doubtful about its legality. He says his intent was to bring Weyerhaeuser to the bargaining table to negotiate what he termed more reasonable recreation access fees.
Weyerhaeuser spokesman Anthony Chavez says vandalism and trash dumping on several tree farms dropped significantly after his company introduced a permit system on a trial basis last year.

Coal Miner's Daughter
by Loretta Lynn
Although Lynn is not strictly "honky-tonk," "Coal Miner's Daughter" clearly shows off Loretta Lynn's honky-tonk influence. Honky-tonk refers to a specific genre with deep roots in the history of country music. "Honky-tonks" were entertainment venues with live music and lots of liquor that spread across the south in the 20th century. The style of music associated with them dates back to the Depression era and is generally agreed to have originated in Texas.
The honky-tonk sound is defined by minimal instrumentals—usually nothing more than a prominent slide guitar and an acoustic guitar strumming out chords. The vocals and the lyrics are the focus of the songs. According to one site, "honky-tonk is country and western music denoted by its stripped down bare roots, twangy guitar sound and vocal delivery by turns almost painfully sorrowful or outrageously raucous."
The late and super-great Hank Williams defined honky-tonk as a genre in the 1930s and 1940s, and Lynn's great inspiration and collaborator Ernest Tubb carried on the tradition at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Another important influence on Lynn, Kitty Wells, began making a voice for women in country music with her 1952 hit "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky-Tonk Angels." (Wells' hit was a response to a spat of sexism in Hank Thompson's hit "The Wild Side of Life," which mocks and criticizes wild, hard-drinkin' women despite the constant valorization in honky-tonk music of hard-drinkin' men).
The 1970 recording of "Coal Miner's Daughter" starts out with a pretty basic honky-tonk formula: a banjo, a slide guitar, and Lynn's dominant, emotive voice over the first couple of verses. The song differs from the simplest form of honky-tonk due to an ooh-ing and aah-ing choir singing behind Lynn, and a tinny piano sound that is especially noticeable in live recordings.
Some draw a hard line between honky-tonk and a more commercially successful genre of "classic" country music that cannot be considered "real" honky-tonk. But "Coal Miner's Daughter" is a great example of Lynn's ability to stay close to her honky-tonking roots while also making albums that were hit material in a changing music scene.

|When High-Quality Face Images Match Poorly
|March 09, 2011
|In face recognition, quality is typically thought of as a property of individual images, not image pairs. The implicit assumption is that high-quality images should be easy to match to each other, while low quality images should be hard to match. This paper presents a relational graph-based evaluation technique that uses match scores produced by face recognition algorithms to determine the quality of images. The resulting analysis demonstrates that only a small fraction of the images in a well-studied data set (FRVT 2006) are low-quality images. It is much more common to find relationships in which two images that are hard to match to each other can be easily matched with other images of the same person. In other words, these images are simultaneously both high and low quality. The existence of such contrary images represents a fundamental challenge for approaches to biometric quality that cast quality as an intrinsicv property of a single image. Instead it indicates that quality should be associated with pairs of images. In exploring these contrary images, we find a surprising dependence on whether elements of an image pair are acquired at the same location, even in circumstances where one would be tempted to think of the locations as interchangeable. The results presented have important implications for anyone designing face recognition evaluations as well as those developing new algorithms.

Candidates' plans to cut taxes is wrongheaded says newspaper at epicenter of government spending in NH
What the tax cuts proposed by both candidates would do is reduce the state's ability to pay for the things that make New Hampshire attractive to employers and the young families the state wants to attract, among them good schools, safe roads, well-kept parks, good public services, a clean and beautiful environment, and affordable higher education.

Savory Saffron Rice Stuffed Tomatoes
When you're busy at work all day, it's hard to find time to cook in the evenings. So this week I'm practicing some quick, easy and healthy meals that you can prepare fast with limited ingredients.
With two only two juicy tomatoes, a bag of saffron rice and a handful of collard greens, I prepared two scrumptiously stuffed tomatoes.
First, I started a medium sauce pan with 1 2/3 cup of water to boil. I added a dash of salt and a dollop of butter. Once it came fully to a boil, I added the rice, plopped on the lid and turned down the heat.
While the rice cooked, I hallowed out the tomatoes. Simply cut off the top and use a spoon to gently scrap out the insides. I placed the tomato inside bits in a bowl to make a salsa with later.
By the time I finished both tomatoes, the rice was done. I mixed in a handful of collard greens to rice for flavor, color and some extra fiber. I spooned the rice mixture into the tomatoes and then placed them in the broiler for 10 minutes. The tomatoes came out soft and juicy and the rice was flavorful and crunchy on top. Fantastic!
I paired a glass of Project Happiness Red Table Wine from Oreana Winery (the winery I worked at in Santa Barbara, CA!) with this quick and delicious dinner.

Materials: Chalkboard, paper, pencil, handouts of Juan
Bobo story (found at):
Estimated time needed to prepare for this lesson plan: 30 minutes
Estimated time needed to complete this lesson plan: 6 hours
The Lesson Plan
Introduce the lesson:
As a class, review alphabet sounds (voiced, voiceless, and silent letters). Review previously learned one-syllable words and sight words. Explain to students that they will now learn to recognize these words by reading a story.
Teach the lesson:
The teacher will distribute handouts of a story about Juan Bobo, a lazy young man who is sent to do a chore which proved to be unsuccessful due to his carelessness. Students should be instructed to follow along as the teacher reads. At the conclusion of the story, the teacher should provide a list of words that students might have recognized in the story. The teacher pronounces the word and the class repeats. The teacher pronounces a word and calls upon an individual to repeat. The teacher spells out the word and the class repeats the spelling. Instructor pronounces the word and calls upon students individually for a response. Instructor pronounces each word from the word list, reading slowly and breaking into syllables.
Practice the lesson:
As a class, the story should be read again. The teacher should randomly call upon students to read, ensuring that all students have an opportunity to participate.
Using the handout of the story and copies of the word list, each student should underline words in the handout that are found in the word list (these should be words they already know). Students should next circle unknown words. Using the dictionary, students should write definitions of the unfamiliar words identified from the story.
As a class, each student should share the unfamiliar words they identified and provide the definitions they located in the dictionary.
Assess the lesson:
This lesson allows an opportunity for the teacher to give immediate feedback as the lesson progresses.
Apply the lesson to the real world:
Students should discover they may not recognize a written word but understands it when he/she hears it.

Jeanette Brown owns high rise restaurant and has been serving up some traditional good luck grub for the new year.
"They say the peas is for good luck and the collard greens is for money, now how true it is, don't know, this is what we're saying."
Black-eyed peas and collard greens are on the top of the list of foods that bring good luck with them for the new year.
As an old saying goes "eat peas on New Year's Day to have plenty of everything the rest of the year."
For Edward Blackmon, he says the food has proven true.
"I'm 72 year's old and so I've been eating black-eyed peas ever since I was big enough to know it for new years. I'm still livin', so I guess that's good luck."
Others have different superstitions, saying if you don't take your tree down by New Year's Day, you'll have bad luck for the rest of the year.
And for others like Jeanette Brown and Edward Blackmon, they simply like to continue their yearly traditions. Eating cabbage and cornbread are also among the many foods that bring in a happy new year.

Halle Berry to do cameo on 'The Simpsons'
"It's a bit of a satire of the different Oscar acceptances where two people clearly race to the stage to get there first, and Homer and Bart are fighting to be the one that accepts," the Daily Express quoted producer Al Jean as telling the website.
The episode is scheduled to air in early 2011. 'I Love You, Man" star Paul Rudd has also been added to the list of stars who will get animated for 'The Simpsons". He'll play a therapist, called Dr. Zander.

Have you been looking for a gluten-free flour blend to use in your favorite recipes? Pamela's Artisan Flour Blend is the answer!
I had such a hard time deciding what to make with my sample of Pamela's Artisan Flour Blend, that I finally asked my family what they would like me to bake. The answer? CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!
But of course! 😉
I followed the recipe on the bag of Pamela's, with one exception. I used one stick of butter and one half cup of unsweetened applesauce instead of two sticks of butter. I like to do that when I bake to cut down the fat and add some fruit! I also left out the optional nuts.
I mixed everything together…
I used my tablespoon scooper to drop the dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper…
Here they are, fresh out of the oven!
I may have even had one (or two) with my green smoothie. (Shhhhhh!)
These cookies came out perfect. They are crunchy on the outside, all soft and chocolatey on the inside.
You would not believe all of the yummy recipes you can make with Pamela's Artisan Flour Blend! Check them out HERE! I can't wait to try them!!!

- Delta out of sight, out of mind for many
The organization's vision of protecting the Delta and providing dependable supplies of water to agriculture and 23 million Californians is commendable. But CalFed has failed on many fronts. It did not accurately account for the money it spent, nor did it set specific goals that could be measured.
Far more important than the survival of CalFed is the preservation of the Delta and assuring adequate supplies of clean water to meet the demand of a growing population.
If CalFed is not up to the job, the state government must assume a greater role in making sure that California does not suffer a water shortage. There is no time to waste.
With a population that is growing by a half million a year and the diminished supply of available Colorado River water, California is going to have to act quickly to avoid a crisis that would make the electricity fiasco of a few years ago seem benign by comparison.
Whether one is addressing agriculture, commercial and residential growth, environmental protection or recreation, it is clear that greater dependable supplies of fresh water are essential. It should also be clear that the only way to meet that critical need is with significantly increased storage capacity.
California receives far more than enough water in rainy seasons and wet years to meet all the state's needs in dry seasons and even in extended droughts. However, the vast percentage of the rain and snow that fall on the state flows into the ocean. What this state desperately needs is more water storage, particularly in above-ground reservoirs, either by expanding current ones or building new ones.
Some of the state's needs can be met with increasing underground aquifers, better conservation efforts and, perhaps, new technology for desalinization. But all of these combined will not meet the state's growing needs.
Conservation and aquifers can help in the short run. But California must move ahead now on expanding and/or building new reservoirs. It takes many years of planning and construction to enlarge or build a new reservoir, which is why we need to act quickly.Greater storage capacity not only will help meet demands for water from farms and urban areas, but it will allow greater volumes of fresh water to be released into the Delta in dry seasons and droughts to maintain an ecological balance.
If new or larger reservoirs are not in place or at least on the way to completion before Southern California runs short of water, there will be massive political pressure to build a peripheral canal around the Delta to send water southward.
Southern California, with about two-thirds of the state's population and representation in the Legislature, has the political clout to get what it wants. It would be a lot more difficult to block a peripheral canal now than it was in 1982, when it was defeated by an overwhelming negative vote from Northern California.
Those opposed to building or expanding reservoirs should consider the likely alternative of a canal bypassing the Delta. That could end up being an environmental disaster, even if water flows into the Delta were stipulated. Such "guarantees" have a way of dissipating under the pressure of a severe water shortage. California has not built a major new reservoir in more than a quarter century. That has been an inexcusable mistake that needs to be corrected to protect the Delta ecosystem and the state's economy.

Risky Choice and the Relative Size of Stakes

We examine framing effects by analyzing how risky choice depends on the absolute and relative size of the amounts at stake, using an extensive sample of choices from ten different editions of the large-stake TV game show Deal or No Deal. Our analyses within and across the samples suggest that risky choice is highly sensitive to the context, as defined by the initial set of prizes in the game. In each sample, contestants respond in a similar way to the stakes relative to their initial level, even though the initial level differs widely across the various editions. Amounts therefore appear to be primarily evaluated relative to a subjective frame of reference rather than in terms of their absolute monetary value.

Authorities said a fire originating in a back bedroom destroyed most of a mobile home in the central Maine town of Madison, but the family living there is OK.
Madison Fire Chief Roger Lightbody told the Morning Sentinel of Waterville that the bedroom was completely destroyed in Friday night's fire and the rest of the interior has extensive smoke damage.
Lightbody said three children and two adults were inside, although no one was injured. The family lost three or four cats.

DEXTER -- Dr. E. G. Bailey Jr., son of the late Dr. Earl G. Bailey Sr. and Lessie Pittman Bailey was born on Aug. 1, 1920, in Maywood, and departed this life on July 24, 2008, at his residence in Dexter, at the age of 87 years.
Dr. Bailey graduated from the Texas A & M University in 1943 and was a veteran of the United States Army, having served as a major with the Veterinarian Corps. Dr. Bailey spent 15 months in active duty in the South Pacific during World War II.
Dr. Bailey was a practicing veterinarian until the time of his death and spent several years operating the Stoddard Animal Clinic, having taken over the practice in Dexter that his father began before him. Most recently, he had served in the Sikeston area, providing veterinarian services to that area.
Dr. Bailey was a past president of the Missouri Veterinarian Board and was named Missouri Veterinarian of the year in 1972. He conducted numerous horse shows and rodeos, was a member of the Crowley Ridge Flyers and served on the Airport Board. He was also a member of the Dexter Masonic Lodge No. 532, Dexter Lions Club and First Christian Church Disciples of Christ in Dexter, where he was an active member of the choir. Dr. Bailey considered the most important things in life to be family, church and serving his country. "Once a solider, always a solider," was a favorite line of his.
On Dec. 31, 1969, in Dexter, he was united in marriage to Barbara Shelby, who survives of the home in Dexter.
Other survivors include: one son, Dr. Larry S. Bailey of Plant City, Fla.; three daughters, Carolyn Sue Caton of Missoula, Mont. and Barbara Ann Hendley and Sheri Lynn Reynolds both of Bloomfield; two brothers, Max Clodfelter of Poplar Bluff and Roy T. Clodfelter of the state of Florida; one sister Ellen Bailey Barstad of Dayton, Nev.; and six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his stepmother, Ruth Bailey; one sister, Mary Ruth Perkins; and one grandson, Cody Hendley.
Friends may call at the Rainey-Mathis Funeral Home in Dexter from 5 until 8 p.m. Monday, where funeral services will be conducted at 10 a.m. Tuesday with the Rev. Vaughn Wright officiating.
Interment will follow in the Dexter Cemetery with full military honors.

This is one of those must-have apps for both Mac OS X and iOS. Super fast app, simple user interface, and extremely handy. The Mac version is free, but I'd easily pay for it [as I have with the in-app purchase of the iOS version].

U.S. Forest Service fish and wildlife biologist Shay Zanetti says river otters had been known to exist for many decades in the Tahoe basin, but at one point they were only known to exist at Marlette Lake above Tahoe's east shore.
He told the Tahoe Daily Tribune ( http://bit.ly/1fNojpn) they've since been detected at Fallen Leaf Lake, Secret Harbor and South Lake Tahoe.
Zanetti says very few records of otters in the basin exist and he's unaware of any local studies of them.
Cheryl Millham of Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care says she went 25 years without hearing of an otter sighting at Tahoe until resident Bettina McIntyre sent her a picture of one.
McIntyre says she's observed a pair of the animals swimming, splashing and sliding in a lagoon near her home in the Tahoe Keys subdivision in South Lake Tahoe over the last couple of years.

"People expect you to perform a certain way, but it doesn't always work out the way you want," flag girl Shelley Martini said. "You have to make the ride smooth and stay in control of the horse. It's a lot of work, but well worth it."
For years, "flag girls" have performed at the annual Sikeston Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo. They help kick off the rodeo by leading the parade prior to rodeo week, carrying the American, Missouri and the Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo flags.
Then the six female-member team participates in the grand entry of each rodeo Wednesday through Saturday, running patterns and carrying sponsor flags while riding horseback.
All of the flag girls have a background in horseback riding or some other aspect of the rodeo, said flag girl Rebecca Throop. They began practicing in July for their role in the four-day event.
"We're very proud of who we are, and we work very hard," Throop said. "And we're not just representing the Jaycees, we're representing all of our sponsors and the community."
The flag girls tend to change their performance pattern every two to three years, Throop said. "We want to make it look the best it can look," Throop said.
But no matter what kind of pattern, the riders want their performances to look smooth, Martini said. "I think it looks better to have more consistency and to ride more uniform together," Martini said.
Typically the flag girls ride their own horses during their performances and the current flag girls range in age from 20s to 40s.
"I love doing it. I love being involved with it," said Martini, who also barrel races on the side. "When you enjoy something it doesn't seem like so much work."
The horses are also just as important as the people riding them, Martini pointed out.
"There are a lot of girls that can do that and ride, but you have to make sure you have the horse that can take the pressure," Martini said. "Every night's a different night for your horses, and you have to know your horses in a different setting."
It's usually a little more tense those first couple of nights, but by the third or fourth night, the horses are more used to performing and start adjusting, Martini said.
"When you practice, you don't have the thousands of people, the lights and music or the bulls in the shoots -- and that's something the horse hasn't experienced before and makes it more difficult," Martini explained.
Flag girls in the Sikeston rodeo began years ago with Debbie Stotts of Sikeston heading the group, Throop recalled.
"It was kind of like something that she would just ask people to do if she thought they would be good showmen or good riders, and it was kind of like a merit system thing," Throop said.
When someone decides to quit, the remaining flag girls get together and decide who they think would be a good candidate, which is typically someone who has showmanship and personality, Throop said.
"We don't do tryouts due to the fact we don't want to pick anyone over another and we don't like to make flag girls a contest," Throop said.
Once someone accepts the offer of being a flag girl, the first year is somewhat of a preliminary year, Throop said.
"If everything goes well, then you're in until you quit. There's no kicking somebody out and no unfairness about it," Throop said.
And contrary to what some may believe, being a flag girl has nothing to do with name, place or society, Throop said.
"It's how you rodeo and how you ride a horse. We work very hard at what we do, and every single one of us can ride a horse like no other," Throop said. The flag girls are also very appreciative of the Sikeston Jaycees, Throop said.
"They do everything for us. This year they got us two new flags. We had been having to borrow flags. It was kind of tough on us, and we're very thankful for that," Throop said.
In addition to Throop and Martini, flag girls are Mary-Helen Johnson, Erika Johnson, Amanda Brooks and Misty Webb.
Over the years the flag girls have come to be expected as a component of the Sikeston Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo.
"And we are very proud of that," Throop said. "It's nice for us to be known as part of the rodeo."

Sachin TonDulkar's 100th Ton – a fan's tribute
16 March 2012 was a massive day for Indian Cricket.
The God of Cricket, born in India, scaled a new summit which none else may, in our life time, may even imagine to reach.
It is as much or even more difficult as The God of Cricket's Grand Father Sir Donald Bradman's 99.96 test batting average.
Sustaining one's focus, interest and stamina for such a long time – nearly 23 years is in itself a record.
Cricket is a game that requires a very high level of concentration and enormous amount of stamina which has to be sustained for long periods of time in every game.
Just one ball, good or bad, one poor shot, a silly mistake, lethargy while running, a brilliant catch, changing weather conditions, a deteriorating pitch, a devastating delivery causing injury or an umpiring error (partial or impartial) can send a batsman packing back to the pavillion.
Topping it all, is the pressure of living up to the expectation of millions of fans and a silly media, ready to forget your past heroics the moment you fail.
That Sachin has managed to overcome all these is what elevates him clouds and sky above the rest of all us, applauding mortals.
The last century may have taken a long time to come. He went close to the landmark on quite a few occasions in the past year, largely trying to fulfil the world's expectations and to an extent his personal desire for the 100th 100. However, as he went near that summit, he stuttered a bit as if he suddenly needed the map for the familiar territory of the century land. May be the pressure of people's expectations was walking alongside during each of his 33+ walks to the middle.
For all those who still have the temerity to question about the sanctity of celebrating this achievement, the answer lies in the fact that even the great master needed 34 sojourns to the crease to reach that summit. A century is that difficult in cricket. To score 100 of them?
Thats why he is GOD OF CRICKET.
Here is a small tribute in the form a drawing made by my second son Anand Surya.

Majority Voting for Directors
CII's corporate governance policies state that in uncontested elections, directors should be elected by majority vote; directors who fail to receive majority support should step down from the board and not be reappointed.
Majority voting ensures that shareowners' votes count and makes directors more accountable to the shareowners they represent.
While the vast majority of companies in the S&P 500 use the majority vote standard for uncontested director elections, thousands of U.S. companies still use the plurality vote standard. Even some companies that have embraced majority voting for directors grant boards discretion to overrule shareowners and reappoint incumbent directors who fall short of majority support in uncontested elections.
Problem with plurality voting: With plurality voting, the nominee who receives the most "for" votes for a board seat wins. This means that in an uncontested election, a nominee will be elected even if he receives just one "for" vote. Plurality voting in uncontested elections results in "rubber stamp" elections, entrenched boards and, occasionally, directors who lack the confidence of most of the shareowners.
Make majority voting a listing standard: On June 20, 2013, CII petitioned NYSE Euronext and the Nasdaq Stock Market to require listed companies to (1) elect directors by majority vote when there is not a contest for board seats and (2) not reappoint directors who fall short. Many CII members and other market participants endorsed CII's petitions, including: members of the CII Advisory Council (NYSE, Nasdaq), the California State Teachers' Retirement System (NYSE, Nasdaq), the Florida State Board of Administration (NYSE, Nasdaq), Hermes Equity Ownership Services (NYSE, Nasdaq) and the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust (NYSE, Nasdaq).

I see the option field for adding post IDs to exclude from the sitemap, however I don't see anything about excluding certain pages.
I see the option field for adding post IDs to exclude from the sitemap, however I don't see anything about excluding certain pages.
Pages ARE posts and have a post id. See the link when hovering a page in the backend. There you see soemthing like
post=3 is your thing!
Exclude post 3 and the page is gone.
so i tried that...site is aaaphotobooth.com
trying to get "newsletter subscription success" to disappear from site map.
Went to exclude posts, entered that post's ID which is 250
But that link is still there on my sitemap...any ideas?
thx :)
Did you generate the sitemap new "from hand"?
Normally it's only generated when you change someting. (Add or delete a page)
So if you change the settings you have to generate a new sitemap.
ohh..good one..I'll go add a page now and see if that shows the change :) I'm a bit new at this :)
Well, it immediately added the new "test page" link but did not exclude the other lol..hmmm...maybe because I have "include static pages" checked?
You don't need to add a page for that.
Go to
- Settings
- XML-Sitemap
In the upper part of the plugin is the possibility to generate a new sitemap. (Don't know how this link is named in english because i use it in german.)
I tried it in another of my pages. Excluded page "4" - the imprint.
Saved the new config.
Generated a new sitemap...
Imprint is gone - no problem...
Yes, did a manual rebuild and the link is till there, plus the link to the new page "test Page"
hmmm, do I add more than just the ID numbers, separated by commas? For my exclusions I typed
for the two pages I'm trying to exclude
maybe because its a child theme?
Had this problem as well. Actually, the site map is probably updating and taking the page out, but you have to reload the page in your browser or it doesn't show the change. It took physically deleting the page and it STILL was there for me to realize that it must not have been refreshing in the browser.
So after you do a manual refresh, and you click on the link to the site map, force the page to reload in your browser once it's loaded.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Post subject: Spelling
I really like the name Ciara but can't have it because of our surname. I've suggested Keira ( as in the way Keira Knightly spells it) but oh says Kiera (which is how a couple of girls at school spell it). Keira is rated 200 places above Kiera so I guess its the one that most people use but how would you spell it
Posted: Tue Sep 03, 2013 8:40 pm
Post subject:
I would spell it Keira. I think it looks nicer.
The more popular way of spelling it would be easier in a way so you dont find yourself constantly spelling it.
Also just to warn you that when you register her they can refuse a spelling my friends little boy had the middle name Issac (how we both prefer the spelling) but the lady refused and said she HAD to spell it Isaac. My friend was so upset, the lady made her cry! It was only for a middle name as well!

Video, footage and webisodes of Audi interest.
We've just stumbled across Audi's latest A7 ad spot over on Prefixmag.com. The basic premise is an evolving CGI rorschach type of theme that evolves from brain eventually to the A7, emphasizing perhaps some of the thought that went behind the A7. It's visually very cool but even cooler because the soundtrack that goes with it
Fifth Gear, that other British automotive show, recently threw the Audi TT RS up against the Porsche Boxster S and Nissan 370Z. This wasn't your typical match, including an agility test with J-turns and sliding into parking spaces, a drifting competition and finally a hot lap.
Digging around this week we unearthed a video interview we'd done with Tom Kristensen at Petit Le Mans. During the conversation we asked Tom about Road Atlanta and a colleague also asked about his nickname Mr. Le Mans. Alas the camera battery was about dead so we didn't get to some of the other stuff so we'll have to
DailySportscar.com was one of the few English publications to attend the unveiling of the new Audi R18 le mans car last Friday and has published several videos from the event. We're unaware of any official Audi video reveal online so we'll hand it to the fine gentlemen from DSC for their shots.

Earlier today Audi Sport revealed its new and revolutionary Audi R18 racecar.

Of course
As we put the finishing wraps on our Audi quattro test drive content this week, we've uploaded five more videos of the car for your enjoyment. They're all linked below, along with direct links to our three-part story and a link to our wallpaper post from yesterday. Enjoy.

UK graphic designer Peter Saville may be best known for his work in posters and record sleeves created during the 70s and 80s in the UK alternative music scene for bands like OMD, Joy Division and New Order. Recently Audi UK contracted Saville to create a work of art inspired by the A5 coupe and retells the story through video on the Audi Channel. The final works were also published by the Telegraph.co.uk.
Audi has released a video short via YouTube of the next-generation A6 due to debut in December and likely to quickly follow at the North American International Auto Show. Watch the teaser below.
Best known for her star driving during Audi's rallying era both on the rallying circuit and at Pikes Peak, Michelle Mouton nowadays runs and manages the Race of Champions on which we've been reporting this weekend. During today's Nation's Cup segment, Mouton flipped her Audi S1 rally car during a demonstration lap at the event.

A Must Read - Share
Willow Smith is only twelve but already feeling the pangs of summer love. Will and Jada's baby girl returns as Melodic Chaotic, her new duo with producer/DJ MVSIC Fabrega. The duo dropped their debut single "The Intro" a couple of months back, but are back with the visuals for their latest single "#SUMMERFLING."
"#SUMMERFLING" is no "Whip My Hair," but, as the group's name suggests, is a step in the more melodic and indie direction for the youngest Smith. Cameos in the clip include Willow's big bros Jaden and Trey, who show up at a pool party to throw some people in.

Health Tracker Maker's New Fans Include Deepak Chopra
There are lots of companies selling gizmos to track users' physical activity. Basis Science hopes to distinguish itself with $11.5 million in new funding, and the support of author Deepak Chopra.
The San Francisco-based startup on Wednesday is announcing the funding round, which is led by Mayfield Fund but also includes DCM and Norwest Venture Partners. Basis is also announcing Chopra and Esther Dyson, the well-known technology analyst and angel investor, are joining its board of advisors.
Chopra, the Indian-born physician who writes about topics such as connections between mind and body, said he is investing an undisclosed amount in Basis. "It's right up my alley," he says.
Basis hopes to reach beyond fitness fanatics, many of whom already use gadgets to track the miles they log between marathons. The company's wristwatch-style device–priced at $199–sports a particularly extensive array of biosensors to provide a broad picture of a person's activity and health.
The data generated is stored on the Web for analysis. What Basis calls its online personal dashboard suggests ways busy users can fit healthier habits into their lives, the company says.
One class of sensors optically monitors blood flow through the veins, recording increases and decreases in pulse rate through the day, Basis says. An accelerometer tracks data such as the number of steps taken and help track sleep quality. Perspiration and temperature sensors help to track exertion levels.
Beyond physical activity, Chopra says the Basis technology can give insights into a person's emotional state=through indicators such as the duration of sleep, the amount of deep sleep, and how quickly a person's heart rate changes.
"It's the most sensible way to measure if someone is stressed or not," Chopra says.
Chopra says he became interested in the company after meeting Nadeem Kassam, the company's founder who also holds the title of chief alliance officer. He says he doesn't typically invest in startups, though he did make an exception for a Web venture that his daughter is involved with.
"I love biosensors," he says. "It's an obsession of mine."

The Complete Short Stories of James Purdy, introduction by John Waters; Liveright, 725 pages ($35); Cabot Wright Begins by James Purdy; Liveright, 252 pages ($14.95 paper). If anything conclusively declares a truce in whatever undeclared but underground war might have existed against gay writers in America, this massive evidence of a James Purdy revival does.
In the precincts of literary advocacy, cynics might declare the critics on James Purdy's side to be either predominantly gay or gay fellow travelers – Gore Vidal, Susan Sontag, Tennessee Williams. The first encomia came from Edith Sitwell, of all people, and Dorothy Parker. Former Studio Arena director Neal DuBrock arranged for one of Purdy's plays to premiere in Buffalo. The current and, no doubt, game-changing "Complete Short Stories" may not do for Purdy what Cheever's "Collected Stories" did for him but it will surely shake things up radically. It's introduced by John Waters, who asks readers to think of it as a "10-pound box of poison chocolates you keep beside your bed – fairy tales for your twisted mind that could never be described to the innocent." (Why would one want a box of poison chocolates next to one's bed? We know what Waters is attempting; let's pretend he succeeded.)
Purdy died at 94 in 2009. He lived and worked mostly in Brooklyn, surviving the vagaries of literary fashion by remaining apart. Frederick R. Karl in "American Fictions 1940-1980" on "the neglect of James Purdy by both general readers and critics": "Some writers are ignored because their timing is wrong, or they remain out of the limelight, or else they stick to a few given ideas and refuse to shift as tastes shift … Purdy has missed out at every level … There is no question that the homosexuality underlying his novels has led to some critical coolness, since his view of homosexual behavior does not easily lend itself to a wider application, whether sensually, ethically or morally." An acquired taste, Karl concludes, but deserving of readers and major critical response, both. His rediscovery was inevitable. Jonathan Franzen's blurb on the "Stories": "he takes up where the rest of us leave off." That roiling sound you hear off in the distance is James Purdy, at long last, joining the mainstream.

Police: Man stole identity in 1999, kept using it
Investigators trying to find thief
Authorities are looking for a man who stole someone's identity and kept on using it.
Investigators said the man took the identity of Bradley Scott, 54, in 1999.
Since then, the man used the real Bradley Scott's information to get an Ohio driver's license issued to him. He has held jobs and filed for Worker's Compensation claims under the identity of Scott.
Police said the man even managed to have Hamilton County Job and Family Services garnish the real Bradley Scott's monthly check for the unpaid child support owed by the fake Bradley Scott.
Anyone with information about the man is asked to contact CrimeStoppers at 513-352-3040.

The Metamorphosis
by Franz Kafka
The Metamorphosis Man and the Natural World Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph). We used Stanley Corngold's translation.
Quote #4
Gregor was shocked to hear his own voice answering, unmistakably his own voice, true, but in which, as if from below, an insistent, distressed chirping intruded, which left the clarity of his words intact only for a moment really, before so badly garbling them as they carried that no one could be sure if he had heard right. (1.7)
Yet another instance where Gregor feels himself split between his bug side and his human side. We normally take our voices for granted as an expression of ourselves, but Gregor doesn't have this luxury. With his voice reduced to a "distressed chirping," Gregor loses a significant means of communicating to, and connecting with, other human beings.
Quote #5
[H]e cleared his throat a little – taking pains, of course, to do so in a very muffled manner, since this noise, too, might sound different from human coughing, a thing he no longer trusted himself to decide. (1.23)
At this point in the story, Gregor starts to lose his self-consciousness about his human-animal split. In Quote #2, you'll recall, he was so disgusted with his bug body that he couldn't bear to touch himself. By this passage, he's not sure if he can distinguish between bug noises and human coughing anymore.
Quote #6
[T]he pads on the bottom of his little legs exuded a little sticky substance […] his jaws, of course, were very strong; with their help he actually got the key moving and paid no attention to the fact that he was undoubtedly hurting himself in some way, for a brown liquid came out of his mouth, flowed over the key, and dripped onto the floor. (1.24)
Gregor's imperviousness to pain brings up an interesting question about his consciousness. Is he impervious to pain because there's a disconnect between his bug body and his human brain which prevents his human brain from processing bug sensory data? Or is he unaware of the pain because animals don't have consciousnesses – they feel pain without thinking, "Hey, I feel pain" – and thus he's losing his human consciousness?
