Google Glass: An Etiquette Guide
These high-tech specs with a built-in computer have the geek world abuzz, but wearing them in polite society requires decorum. Here, an open letter to very early adopters
Congratulations! You're one of the privileged few who've scored a pair of Google Glass, the futuristic eyewear that puts a tiny, voice-controlled, Wi-Fi-enabled computer on your face. It's the most anticipated gadget since the iPad, iPhone or iAnything, really. And the best part? You members of Google's "Explorer Program"—mostly app developers and supernerds—will be testing Glass in the wild months before the general public will get to wear it, fingers crossed, at the end of the year.
Share your #techmanners
What are your do's and don'ts of social media etiquette?
Share your etiquette tips with us on Twitter using #techmanners or in the comments section.
Soon you'll be able to view emails, text messages and maps on a translucent screen hovering in the upper-right corner of your peripheral vision. Breaking news alerts will appear right before your eyes. You'll snap photos just by saying, "OK Glass, take a picture." In other words, you'll be able to perform tasks everyone else has to do with their grubby hands and filthy smartphones—what Neanderthals!
Google says there will be thousands of you Explorers wearing Glass around town over the next few months. I'm jealous, even though it looks dorky. (Just go to the "White Men Wearing Google Glass" Tumblr for proof.) I've spent some time with Glass here and there, mostly asking Explorer pals if I can try theirs, and every time, I almost cried when I had to give it back.

I'm looking forward to the day when Glass is so ubiquitous that wearing one doesn't make you look like a cyborg. But, at the moment, I'm a little concerned. New technology has a way of bringing out our rude and annoying side—just think of the guy who walked into you while composing a text or the woman in line at the dry cleaner who was shouting into her cellphone. And because Glass is a wearable device that calls attention to itself, you early ambassadors have to be on extremely good behavior. I'd hate for you to squander any goodwill toward Glass before the rest of us have a go at it. Here are some basic rules of etiquette for you—and future Glass wearers—to keep in mind:
Always remember: You have a camera on your head.
And there's no way for others to tell whether that camera is on or off. Sure, people might notice the tiny screen near your eye sparkling when they look closely. But that could be anything from a text message to an episode of "Parks and Recreation." Naturally, people are going to be spooked out about whether or not you're recording them.
How do you assuage their fears? Don't say, "Well, there are probably cameras recording you right now that you don't know about," or "It'd be easier for me to secretly snap a picture of you with my phone." That all may be true, but still—you have a camera on your head. It's practically a third eye. People have every right to feel uncomfortable. Acknowledge that.
Tell them that it was a mistake for Google not to put a red light indicating that a photo or video is being taken, and that you hope there will be one in future iterations (even though evil folk may find a way to somehow disable the light).
Be courteous and take the device off in locker rooms, public bathrooms, business meetings, movie theaters and anywhere else where wielding a camera would be improper or offensive.
But, you ask, won't that be difficult when Glass is outfitted with prescription lenses one day? Good question. Let's hope Google or a third-party company invents some sort of artful lens cap for the camera.
Self-Driving Cars
After Google Glass: Cars will drive themselves one day. Goodbye, road rage; hello, highway flirting. Here, Dan Neil's guide to road manners.
Use voice commands only when you need to.
One day, Glass might become as ubiquitous as mobile phones and it won't be that weird to hear the phrase "OK Glass"—which lets the eyewear know to listen for a command—before a request for a weather update or the Mandarin translation of "Two beers, please." But ask yourself: Can I do whatever I'm about to do with Glass more politely by using my smartphone? It's OK to ask Glass for directions or to quickly respond to a text while walking alone down the street. But if you find yourself dictating long emails or using Glass to tweet whenever you think of something funny, that's just overkill.
Don't use Google Glass to make phone calls in public.
Yes, it's basically the equivalent of a Bluetooth headset. Yes, people talk on Bluetooth headsets all the time. But it's still annoying.
Give it a rest sometimes.
You know how that guy with the Bluetooth headset became Bluetooth Headset Guy, the most grating tech villain in existence today? It's because he never took his headset off. (And, yeah, talking loudly to thin air didn't help either.) I know, this slightly defeats the purpose of having a heads-up display and camera that's always at the ready. But for most of your day, try to go for the normal-human look.
Also, it's annoying to talk to someone who keeps glancing up and to the right every 10 seconds. Turn Glass off when there's someone in front of you.
Don't be creepy.
All it's going to take is for one Glass wearer to record or photograph someone or something that shouldn't have been filmed to ruin Glass for everyone. Let's not incite lawmakers or angry mobs. Stick to photographing kittens, consenting friends and those totally amazing pancakes from your favorite brunch spot, OK?
Let people try it on.
You'll probably get sick of people asking you if they can have a go with it, but be gracious. Once people see how Glass is essentially a glorified hands-free headset/wearable camera, they'll get on board. If enough of us embrace your new headgear, that will chip away at Glass's social stigma—which is the only way something this crazy-seeming will be accepted en masse.
Happy, uh, Glass-ing? Let's hope you don't ruin modern society and the tenuous rules of tech etiquette as we know them!

The 5 Saddest Second Careers of Celebrities
In the world of entertainment, versatility is a performer's lifeline, because no matter how much an audience may love it the first time they see it, they will only pay to see the same act for so long. For instance, Madonna sings, dances, writes and acts, and it's kept her in the spotlight for 30 years. Meanwhile, Jason Mewes plays Jason Mewes from time to time when Kevin Smith's Twinkie fund runs low. So that's why you'll see those occasional, bizarre crossovers with singers, actors, comedians and sports stars -- they're expanding their resumes so the world doesn't get bored with them and stop watching.
The following is what happens when a celebrity thinks, "Oh, I can do that," and because of their stature, nobody steps up to say, "Sit down, we need to have a talk. You're about to make yourself look catastrophically fucking stupid." God bless those people for retaining their silence. Otherwise, we'd have never been able to enjoy these cringe-inducing gems.
#5. Eddie Murphy's Repeated Attempts at Music
Very rarely, a big name star does something so disproportionately bad in comparison to their normal career that its echos can be heard for decades -- its shame tainting the laughter of our children's children's children. A perpetual shock wave of suck, defying the very core of physics, forever circling the globe and reminding us that, yes, this did indeed happen.
The first time that happened for Eddie Murphy was the well-known turdsplosion "Party All the Time." I'm not going to spend a lot of time deconstructing all the ways that this song and video were horrible because we've all seen it. Even children born after the '80s are shown this in school, as a warning. We've all felt the cold, clammy penis of death awkwardly slapping at our ear holes, and there's no need to rouse its anger again by reopening up the discussion. What's done is done. Lesson learned.
Wait, no it wasn't. No lesson was learned at all. Because there he is again in 1993, singing a song called "Whatzupwitu." And no, you're not hallucinating, that's Michael Jackson in the video. But ... how? Why? Wait, to hell with the "why" -- go back to "how" again, because ... how? The answer is found in a nine-minute-long video made the year before for Jackson's song "Remember the Time," which featured Eddie Murphy. That video was filmed and released in January of 1992, which is the exact time that Murphy recorded this volcanic lake of musical blasphemy. You don't need to be a historian to know it was a case of "Oh, hey, while you're here ..."
"But wait," you interrupt like a rude asshole. "If this time he had the King of Pop to help him write and produce the song, why wouldn't he take another shot at music? Maybe the first one was just a fluke bomb, so why not have another go at it?" Well, there are a couple of things wrong with that. First off, everyone always assumes that because "Party All the Time" was bad, it was a failure. It wasn't. That song peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and No. 7 overall for the entire year.
That's his "suck it" look.
Second, Michael Jackson had nothing to do with the writing or producing of "Whatzupwitu." Eddie wrote and produced that himself. The actual advantage wasn't with that song -- it was with "Party," which was co-written and produced by Rick James. For you younger viewers, Rick James isn't a character played by Dave Chappelle. He's considered to be the greatest funk musician to ever live whose name isn't George Clinton.
The point is that the first time around, he had an idea for a song, he went to his friend Rick James and said, "I'd like to make this thing." Then they sat down and made it. Since they wrote it together, it had the heavy influence of a man who knew how to create and sell music that people would pay for. In Murphy's second attempt, he wrote a song in his spare time and used his opportunistic video filming with the world's most famous pop star to ask, "Can you sing background vocals for this thing I wrote?" And now he can never take it back.
"No, brighter. It's saturated enough when it burns the image onto their TV screens."
#4. Fall Out Boy's Bass Player Starts a Bar for Children
The entertainment world is full of celebrities opening their own businesses because in relative terms, fame doesn't last very long. You have to have something planned for your retirement after the public stops giving a shit about you; otherwise, you end up working as a security guard after being the most recognizable child actor in the world, like Gary Coleman, or evicted from your house after being the world's most famous heroin-shooting fucking embarrassment, like Courtney Love.
That's why you occasionally find yourself rolling your eyes as Bruce Willis tries to sell you his cologne or when you find out that Hulk Hogan had a failed restaurant called Pastamania.
Via Toptenz.net
Granted, the bassist from the band Fall Out Boy isn't exactly on the level of Hulkamania, or even a Hacksaw Jim Duggan for that matter, but that's actually why he decided to start his own bar. He was tired of not being let into elite clubs because the bouncers didn't recognize him. So in his own words, he started a bar "for all the rejects." No arguing with some asshole at the door. No palm greasing to get on a VIP list. Just show up, go in and get drunk with a hundred teenage girls and douchebags dressed in tiny pants with white belts. This is where you'll want to take notice of the very last line of that article I linked: "As for the fans, they'll probably need good fake IDs."
The person who wrote that must be a fucking prophet, because after numerous warnings by the police, the bar was finally shut down for repeatedly serving alcohol to minors. Which is kind of a blessing, I guess, since his original vision was "a place that anyone can go and have sex in the bathroom and not get in trouble." I'm assuming that if they let him talk long enough, he'd claim it was a place where you could bring your dogs and make a little extra money "if they know how to scrap." Or "fistfight a handcuffed minority without legal repercussions."
Via Gawker.com
What I'm saying is that fucking in a public bathroom is illegal, you stupid emo cock.
#3. Ric Flair Finance, Baby! WOOO!
You can't say the name Ric Flair without someone in the room yelling out a high-pitched "WOOOO!" It's impossible. Try it the next time you're at a funeral.
The man has been in the wrestling business (fuck your "sports entertainment," it's goddamn "wrestling" -- "wrasslin'" if you're nasty) for 40 years. The guy is in better shape at age 63 than most of us will ever be at our physical peak. But even he knew that he couldn't do this forever. Even though he basically has. So a few years back, he set his sights on a non-physical retirement plan in the form of a finance and loan company. Not a bad idea, right? You invest as a partner, let the professionals handle the loans and just sit back and collect the money.
So he partnered with a few people who used his name and image to help propel the company into the spotlight. And they held nothing back. The logo featured him in the full sequined robe with his classic slicked back albino-white hair. They referred to their model as "The Figure 4 Process." They scattered ads all over the Net, featuring him in the flamboyant neon pink feather boa, doing the "WOOOOO" face. This was Ric Flair's company, and by God, he'd slap the lips off of your financial worries.
Via Sportaphile.com
That's a screenshot from one of their old ads. Though I'd love to see the data of how many people actually clicked it.
That's a pretty solid plan if finance companies weren't some of the most difficult businesses to keep alive in a shitty economy. It sounds like the opposite should be true, doesn't it? The worse off the economy, the more people need to borrow money? But it turns out that when the shit hits the fan, people keep a tighter leash on their spending. And when they do take out a loan, the number of defaults goes through the roof -- partly because the interest rates and fees at those places are virtually criminal, and people find it impossible to keep up with the payments. This isn't speculation. My fiancee manages one of these places, and she deals with the data on a daily basis.
Ric found that out less than a year later, when the business imploded. Now, don't think this was just a case of him investing in a bad opportunity. This was something he had been planning with his wife for two years prior to diving in. He wasn't going in uneducated. The biggest problem with Ric Flair, though, is Ric Flair, and here's where the ultimate irony comes in.
Via Tribalwrestling.com
That's the face of financial security right there, baby.
He's been in a near-homeless level of financial crisis for years. He's not only buried himself under multiple years of unpaid taxes, but he's defaulted on so many loans that he finds himself in a courtroom as often as the ring. He's been known to put up his title belts as collateral for loans on more than one occasion, and then skip the payments until he faces actual jail time. Want to know how bad it's gotten? Take a few minutes to read this. It's surreal.
On the upside, Ric did find a somewhat happy ending in the form of securing a commercial deal for an energy drink. See, as consumers, we're more comfortable with this. It's easier to trust in giving a few bucks for an energy shot that makes you scream "WOOOO" than putting your financial stability in the hands of a man who routinely whipped out his cock on passenger jets.

Aug. 29, 1929 – July 19, 2013
Charlotte Williams Conable of Buffalo, who helped lift women's issues to prominence at the World Bank, died Friday in Sarasota, Fla., after a long battle with cancer. She was 83.
She was the wife of the late Barber B. Conable Jr., of Alexander, who became World Bank president after he retired from Congress in 1985. They were married 51 years.
With his wife's influence, Barber Conable made safe motherhood and population control, particularly in Africa, key issues in the bank's world development plans.
By 1991, his final year there, 40 percent of the billions of dollars in grants and loans approved had special components dealing with women's health and other programs for women's advancement.
In a major way, Mrs. Conable's earlier work was responsible for a 2012 World Bank policy statement that said:
"Countries that create better opportunities and conditions for women and girls can raise productivity, improve outcomes for children and advance development prospects for all."
Author of "Women at Cornell: The Myth of Equal Education (1977)," Mrs. Conable was for 10 years chairwoman of the National Advisory Committee, Women's Rights National Historic Center, Seneca Falls.
She was a board member of the Women's Hall of Fame, Seneca Falls; a White House Conference on Aging; and a trustee of Cornell University. She participated in United Nations International Women's Conferences in Denmark, Kenya and Houston.
Born in Buffalo, Mrs. Conable was a graduate of Lafayette High School and earned a bachelor of science degree at Cornell, where she was president of the class of 1951, and a master's degree in women's studies at George Washington University.
In 1999, the State Senate named her a Woman of Distinction. Four years later, Genesee Community College awarded her an honorary doctorate for women's advocacy.
Throughout Barber Conable's work in Congress and the bank, the couple commuted from their home in Alexander to Washington, and later to a winter home in Sarasota, where they eventually settled.
Survivors include three daughters, Jane Schmieder, Anne and Emily; and a son, Sam.
A private memorial service will be held.

One of the most versatile voices ever. Mike Patton never ripped off Kiedis' style his voice has far too much range. Many try to imitate him(Serj Tankian, Johnathon Davis, etc.) but to no avail.
My favorite vocalist is Mike Patton.
por Traveling Bob 28 de Julho de 2006
Greatest vocalist in metal. Sung for Faith No More in place of the previously awful vocalist Chuck Mosely. He got the job based on a demo he handed FNM from his work with Mr Bungle. He worked these two bands together and made some messy and random music with Mr Bungle, all 3 albums vary greatly in genre, showcasing his diverse ability. His first album with FNM- The Real Thing was an epic 80's album although Angel Dust and the sub-sequent albums essentialy created the nu-metal genre. After the splitting of Faith No More he went into Fantomas, an even stranger band than Mr Bungle. In Fantomas. he rarely uses lyrics, instead using his voice as an instrument creating a variety of obscure noises. His latest band is the more linear Tomahawk. He's also performed on Dillinger Escape Plan EP- Irony is a Dead Scene and ventured into rap with General Patton vs The X Ecuctioners there's also his experimental solo work.
"Shit man, this music is the fucking shit!"
"Who is it?"
"Mike fucking Patton, you dig?"

Accused county officer Billy Wade Biering has been granted a continuance.
Biering, a Berkeley County Sheriff's Office jailer, appeared for a Berkeley County Magistrate Court hearing on Sept. 12 in Moncks Corner. Judge Whilden V. Baggett
granted the continuance.
South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) agents were present as prosecutors, along with Biering and his defense attorney Edward Phipps. Other uniformed BCSO officers were also present. Biering was not wearing a uniform at the hearing.
SLED charged Biering, 49, with one count of assault and battery, third degree. He was arrested Aug. 13 and booked into the Hill-Finklea Detention Center, where he worked.
On May 12, 2012, Biering struck a restrained inmate with a closed fist several times at the Hill-Finklea Detention Center, according to an affidavit.
The affidavit continues that the charge against Biering is based on information obtained from interviews, witness statements, digital video records and admission by Biering.
SLED conducted the investigation at the request of BCSO, according to a SLED press release.
If convicted, the misdemeanor carries a penalty of up to 30 days in jail a fine of up to $500, or both. Biering's next court appearance is set for Oct. 3.

A federal judge, New York State Supreme Court Justice Milton A. Tingling, recently blocked New York City from banning the sale of sugary beverages in containers larger than 16 ounces. Advocates have cited troubling statistics—more than 78 million adults (35.7% of population) and 12.5 million children and adolescents (17%) were obese in 2010, CDC said last August—and argue that a large sugar-sweetened ban would promote public health. However, Justice Tingling argued that such a ban would "violate the separation of powers doctrine". (For more on the topic, click here.) How do you feel about a soda ban?

Talk about an unexpected dinner date.
Seven months after announcing their split and nearly two weeks after their divorce was finalized, Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson seemed to put the past aside as they dined together at L.A.'s Little Dom's restaurant Saturday night.
"They were leaning in closely to each other when talking," a source at the restaurant tells PEOPLE. "They were being flirty."
Their intimate dinner comes amid reports that Reynolds, 34, has been seeing another leading lady – Charlize Theron. In May, however, PEOPLE's reigning Sexiest Man Alive said he wasn't ready to move on.
"I'm not out of it yet," he said of the inevitable pain that comes with a breakup.
Johansson, 26, has already weathered another breakup. Last month, the actress ended things with Sean Penn after a whirlwind romance that started in March.

Golden to Kane County as Cubs Edge A's at Fitch Park
Shawon Dunston Jr and Brad Zapenas collected three hits a piece, Francisco Sanchez stroked a two-run single and a double, and Loiger Padron tossed three innings of one-hit shutout ball, as the Cubs edged the Athletics 4-3 in Cactus League Extended Spring Training action this morning at Fitch Park Field #4 in Mesa, AZ
The game was pre-planned as a ten-inning contest so that all of the A's and Cubs pitchers who were scheduled to throw today could get their work.
In EXST Cubs roster news, OF Reggie Golden has been promoted to Kane County.
The Cubs 2010 2nd round draft pick out of Wetumpka, AL, Golden suffered two torn knee ligaments while running the bases as a member of the Peoria Chiefs in April 2012, and missed the balance of the 2012 season. He looked rusty at Minor League Camp this past March, and so he was left behind at Extended Spring Training to get into better playing shape.
Golden was mired in a 1-22 slump through his first 11 Cactus League Extended Spring Training games, but turned things around beginning on April 30th. He ended up hitting 250/384/400 in 24 Cactus League EXST games (73 PA), with four doubles, one triple, one HR & 12 RBI, 12/19 BB/K, and two SB (no CS), but he was especially hot over his last ten games (35 PA), hitting 400/486/533 with two doubles, a triple, and eight RBI over that span.
Also, RHRP Larry Suarez has been moved-up to Daytona.
In five Cactus League EXST games (7.0 IP), Suarez allowed one run (earned) on six hits and a walk with six strikeouts (1.29 ERA & 1.00 WHIP). Suarez struggled to throw strikes in Minor League Camp, and was left behind at Extended Spring Training to build up arm strength and work on his mechanics.
Now 23, the 6'4 270 Suarez was signed as a 16-year old "bonus baby" out of Venezuela on July 2, 2006 (the first day of the 2006 International Signing Period). He has occasionally shown flashes of talent (he was the closer for a while at Peoria last season), but has mostly been a disapointment. He is eligible to be a Rule 55 minor league free-agent (AKA "six-year free-agent") post-2013 if he is not added to the Cubs 40-man roster or agrees to a 2014 minor league successor contract by the 5th day following the conclusion of the 2013 World Series.

my feeling is that Garza's asking price and Cubs idea of fair value for Garza are nowhere close or he would have signed last year.

The Fujikawa thing is one of the reasons I don't like the idea of massive free agent contracts for pitchers. In his case, it seemed like a reasonable gamble, since for one thing it doesn't qualify as massive in today's market, but I'd be awfully careful about extending, say, Garza, or hitting up the free agent market for an ace. A Sherpamardza contract extension is really an interesting predicament. At times, this guy seems like he could be an extremely dominating pitcher, but as of yet he still hasn't justified a mega deal. It'll be interesting to see how Theocorp plays that one.

Friday's games will be in Washington, Chicago, Arlington, and Cleveland or Boston. Someone's game is starting laaaaaaaate - 50-50 chance it's the CDT Cubs.
Meh, I messed that up. Mets are in.
Cards and Giants can still tie though.
Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...

Rosebank was a Lowland distillery located near Falkirk on the banks of the Forth and Clyde canal. It was owned by DCL (forerunner of Diageo) but closed in 1993. I have heard that when Diageo released their 'Classic Malts' range Rosebank was considered to be the best example of a Lowland whisky, but Glenkinchie was more likely to attract tourists so that got the nod and Rosebank was mothballed. Apparently there's some bits and pieces left at the site, but copper thieves stole the stills a year or so back and there is a Beefeater restaurant where the warehousing used to be.
Rosebank, as is common with some other Lowland distilleries (Auchentoshan, maybe others) used triple distillation to make their spirit, which should supposedly produce a light and clean dram.
This Rosebank is from Gordon and MacPhail's 'Connoisseurs Choice' range. Hunting round on the internet, many retailers had it listed but as 'Out of Stock'. I did find a bottle available for £59. This Rosebank was distilled in 1991 and bottled in 2008. It was matured in a mixture of refill sherry and bourbon casks and is bottled at 43%.
NOSE (neat) Obviously sharp and citric. Some hints of pencil shavings and acetone.
(with water) The citrus is less evident, perhaps a little grassy now. Still getting the acetone smell.
MOUTH (neat) Light in the mouth, a little spicy but doesn't seem too complex.
(with water) Sweeter now, really easy to drink. Just … pleasant, it's bringing a smile to my face.
FINISH (neat) Pretty short, but a little oaky chewiness is nice enough.
(with water) Fizzy sweets, Refreshers maybe?
OVERALL This doesn't seem to be the most complex of drams, but it is approachable and with a dash of water might be able to pass muster with those 'ooh no I don't like whisky' types. Shame the place is shut, because this is a very nice dram, especially on a summers evening.


text: When will it end, you may be asking? The worldwide violence and killings, school shootings, one natural disaster after another. The answer is simple, and one we can all have a part in. We don't need gun control, we need God control. God is being removed from our schools, public buildings and assemblies and money.

To Benefit the Children of the Tsunami
10. Paul Brady with Rodney Crowell - 40 Shades of Green
Paul took on this Johnny Cash classic while recording his latest album in Nashville. With Garry West at the production helm he has managed to do something very special with it. Rodney dropped in and added his own great vocals on the track.
11. Blue Merle with Pauline Scanlon - Part of Your History
One of the hottest young bands in the country right now generously picked up the phone and offered to help as soon as they heard of our project. When they gave us this great song from their Burning in the Sun cd, we thought of Pauline Scanlon who is one of Ireland's most unique singers. Pauline headed to Dublin to record her vocals at Bill Shanley's studio.
12. Altan with Vince Gill - Lets Heal
John had suggested to Altan that they think of doing a collaboration with Vince Gill a couple of years ago but when this project started all the pieces fell together and it quickly became a reality. Altan reworked a traditional Irish song with new words in English. Vince jumped at the chance to help and recorded his unique vocal and guitar in the Compass Sound studios in Nashville.
13. Cerys Matthews with John Jorgenson and Stuart Duncan - An Occasional Song
Cerys is know as a rock star all over Europe but when John saw her name advertised for a local Nashville show he suggested to Andrea that we ask her to sing a traditional Welsh song. Cerys loved the idea and Andrea brought in some of the finest session players in Nashville as well as the amazing John Jorgenson and Stuart Duncan to give this traditional song its exiting and unusual sound.
14. John Cowan with the Brock McGuire Band - Cumberland Plateau
This song was co-written by John Cowan and Darrell Scott and features some great picking all round. We added the lively and fun Brock McGuire band who were in Nashville on tour from Ireland.
15. Jim Lauderdale with Maura O'Connell - This World's Family
We asked Jim to write a song for the project and he was delighted to help especially when he knew we wanted him to work with Maura O'Connell. He took a tune by his friend Tania Elizabeth from the Duhks and wrote a beautiful song of how we all unite in times of need. We recorded this in one afternoon at Brent Truitt's studio in Nashville.
16. Jerry Douglas with Ciaran Tourish - In The Sweet By and By
Jerry very generously gave us this beautiful track from his Lookout for Hope album and asked that his old buddy Ciaran Tourish from Altan add something to it. Ciaran recorded low whistles to make this one of the most haunting tracks on the CD and the perfect tune to close our project.

Can you define these popular missing words?
People with this name are excellent at analyzing, understanding, and learning. They tend to be philosophers, scholars, and pimps. Because they live so much in the mind, they tend to be quiet and with an unbothered attitude, and are usually introverts. When presented with issues, they will see the larger picture. Their solitary thoughtfulness and analysis of people and world events may make them seem coldhearted and it just might be true

A comprehensive engineering study of St. Ann Church is expected to be completed within a few weeks and will help determine the fate of the ornate 1886 edifice on Broadway at Emslie Street.
Arbour Construction Management and Siracuse Engineers, both Buffalo firms, are currently examining the building and trying to determine a fix for structural problems that prompted then-Bishop Edward U. Kmiec in April to suspend all activities inside the church.
Kmiec has since retired and been replaced by Bishop Richard J. Malone.
"They're doing a comprehensive engineering study, taking a look at the interior as well as the exterior of the church," said Catholic Diocese of Buffalo spokesman Kevin A. Keenan. "Once that report comes back, we'll sit down with Father Roy Herberger and talk about the content of the report."
Herberger is administrator of St. Ann, which is considered a "temporary worship site" while the Vatican considers an appeal by parishioners to keep the church open.
Kmiec decided in 2007 to merge St. Ann with nearby SS. Columba & Brigid, as part of a massive diocesan restructuring of parishes that shuttered several dozen churches across Western New York. A small group of dedicated parishioners successfully forestalled the closure for years and had been worshipping there weekly until the emergency suspension.
Through the summer, many of those parishioners continued to celebrate Masses together outside, on church property. The Masses are now being held inside the former St. Ann Convent building nearby.
A group of parishioners committed to restoring the church was until recently still able to go inside and check up on the property.
But the building's locks were changed about two weeks ago and those parishioners haven't been allowed inside during the inspection process. The construction and engineering firms have been using lifts to examine the exterior of the Gothic revival church, which is fashioned from limestone.
Some parishioners were worried St. Ann might be headed the way of other glorious Catholic churches in the area that suffered serious structural problems and were razed.
"We're anxious, concerned, worried that they might come back and say it can't be fixed," said parishioner Ronald Bates. "We're very concerned about that."
Parishioner Martin Ederer also acknowledged "a sense of dread" in the congregation.
"I guess at this point we're kind of stuck in a wait-and-see mode," he said. "Maybe when this report comes out we'll have a few more answers."
Kmiec issued a decree to reduce St. Ann Church to "secular use" on July 27, 2011. But as long as a formal appeal is being considered, the decree cannot take effect, according to Catholic canon law.
The diocese in 2008 had a potential buyer for the church in the Buffalo Religious Arts Center, a nonprofit organization that collects art and artifacts from defunct houses of worship in Western New York.
But the center's president has maintained that she prefers to see St. Ann remain as an active Catholic worship site.

Thrush Buster®
Thrushbuster® is a horse hoof thrush treatment so powerful that it lasts for up to eight days without reapplication even in the wettest, muddiest terrain! A single application not only relieves the agonizing, crippling effects of thrush, but dramatically reduces the chances of reinfection. Read more...
Trushbuster® stomps out thrush on contact. It forms a cleaner barrier and deters the penetration of dirt and manure into the healthy frog, reducing bacteria in the hoof. Its unique color tells you where it's doing the job, with a fresh coat needed only where the color has faded--typically once a week. It is more effective than commercial preparations, yet milder to sensitive tissue than bleaches, copper sulphate or turpentine. Thrushbuster® can also be used before applying sole pads and silicon to toughen thin-soled feet.

2067 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Project number: F-42
Study: II
Final Report Date: August 1990
Period Covered: March - November 1988
Authors: Kimberly G. Norgren, Rex A. Dunham, R. Oneal Smitherman, Jeff Durniak, and Timmy B. Hess
Brown trout were collected from four locations (Chattooga River, Jones Creek, Noontootla Creek and the Walhalla National Fish Hatchery). Three color phenotypes (original, crossbred and Walhalla) had been identified in these populations. The genetic relationship of these populations and phenotypes were assessed using isozyme analysis. Levels of genetic variability in these populations were lower than those previously reported for other brown trout populations in the United States. Among populations and among phenotypes, only subtle isozyme allele frequency differences existed, and all populations were closely related. Chattooga River and original phenotype populations did not possess the GPI-2106 allele which was found at frequencies greater than 0.10 in other Georgia populations. The LDH-5105 allele that was previously shown to be associated with large size in brown trout in Ireland was found in low frequency in samples from the Chattooga River and Jones Creek and was found in all phenotypes. Highest levels of LDH-5105 were found in Jones Creek. Generally, fish possessing the LDH-5105 allele were smaller rather than larger than average, though no fish ages were determined. No isozyme markers were found that were associated with a particular color morph. Size advantages or growth rate differences were not apparent for any color phenotype in the natural environment, but growth differences were emerging in the hatchery environment.

LEWISTON – It had been more than a month since Giancarlo Iuorio played a game.
The senior forward was the leading scorer for the Niagara hockey team back on Jan. 5 when he suffered an upper body injury against Atlantic Hockey rival Air Force.
Friday night, Iuorio returned to the lineup after a 10-game absence and did it in style, scoring three goals – including the game-winner with 53.7 seconds left – as No. 15 Niagara defeated Robert Morris, 4-3, in front of 1,154 at Dwyer Arena. With the win, NU clinched at least a share of the Atlantic Hockey regular-season title.
Nothing was prettier than that final goal. Marc Zanette stole the puck from a Robert Morris player behind the Colonials' net and fed it Iuorio, who fired the puck into the far upper left-hand corner.
"Marc did a great job," Iuorio said. "It was basically a 1-on-2 down low and he pressured the guy who turned back into him. Marc kicked the puck out to me in the slot. I didn't have much room to shoot and just hoped it would go in."
Iuorio might have been hoping on that particular shot, but his success is no surprise.
When he went out with the injury, he was the nation's leading scorer with 12 goals. While his teammates demonstrated the depth of the program by going 7-2-1 in his absence to help NU keep its national ranking, Iuorio kept working. He kept up his fitness level with bike workouts and skating drills.
It wasn't quite the same as playing, but he did everything in his power to be ready when he was cleared for game day.
The Purple Eagles are happy he's back and not just because of his goal production.
"I liked him on the bench," Niagara coach Dave Burkholder said. "It got quiet there in the rink and when it got quiet, he was the guy up on the bench, on his feet, trying to get the boys up. When you need a big play, he's your goal scorer. Every time they got back in the game, 'G' was a big momentum swing for us. It's great to have him back."
Niagara needed his energy, leadership and production in Friday as it struggled with the speed of Robert Morris.
The Colonials took a 1-0 lead midway through the first period. They pressed and moved the puck quickly on a delayed holding call on C.J. Chartrain. Matt Cope blasted the puck from the point and it shot past Niagara goaltender Carsen Chubak on his stick side.
Iuorio got Niagara on the board, tipping in a shot from Kevin Ryan at the 14:24 mark of the first.
Niagara took a 2-1 lead with 9:10 left in the second period. Ryan Murphy's shot in close to Robert Morris goalie Eric Levine came flying out to the right circle. Kevin Albers was there to line up the shot and fire the puck into a nearly open net. Iuorio added his second goal of the game less than two minutes later.
Robert Morris (10-11-1) got a goal back 27 seconds later when Zac Lynch beat Chubak. The Colonials exerted offensive pressure for much of the third period, finally tying it with 4:01 left on Scott Jacklin's goal.
A penalty to Robert Morris for elbowing and to Niagara for roughing with 1:56 left resulted in 4-on-4 hockey for the rest of regulation. It was then that Zanette and Iuorio combined for the game-winning play.
"Give this team credit," Burkholder said. "Guys stepped up, but obviously you want one of your senior captains and leading scorer back in the lineup. To get production like he did tonight is amazing. And for him to get the winner at the end ... that was an NHL-caliber goal."
It was the second hat trick of the season for Iuorio, who scored three against Connecticut on Nov. 2. It also marked his fourth multi-goal game of the season.
With the win, Niagara improved to 19-5-5 overall and 18-2-2 in Atlantic Hockey.
The teams travel to Pittsburgh tonight to complete the home-and-home series.

Today is my birthday, I am now thirty-four years old.
It feels pretty great, I am happy to be here and I don't have any regrets. I don't really want for anything (except for maybe some more and better sleep, and more time!) I have a wonderful man who loves and respects me. A beautiful, happy little daughter. And two fluffy cats who really love me. And I am able to work on my own projects sometimes, too.
Every day still I am approach these days with a bit of trepidation. After many years of darkness, I am always grateful that these sweet days have come to me. But I am careful and I know always that they could, just maybe, end at any time.
But for today, on my 34th birthday, happiness and contentment is with me. Adelaide and I have spent the morning together in our pyjamas, singing along to the songs of my very favourite band The Innocence Mission, and making cupcakes, and working on our fathers-day art projects.
I couldn't even begin to ask for a lovelier birthday gift.
Except for maybe, that some of my happiness and contentment may come to others, too.
