Yesterday I actually
Immediate flashbacks of the Brady Bunch episode "Mom Always Says No Playing Ball In The House!"
I am officially in the Carol Brady Club. Who's already joined?
Ah, if only Alice lived here...
I'm raising my hand! And I only have one kid so far. lol.
At least Carol Brady wasn't too shabby of a lady. :)
Count me in.ReplyDelete
I just said this yesterday too!ReplyDelete
I loved the Brady Bunch as a kid. Me and my sister watched it all the time.
And yes, I'll admit, I have shouted those same words. And others too.....
That's funny - I just yelled at The Boy to stop pushing the giant exercise ball around the house. Sheesh!ReplyDelete
Not there yet...but I can see it happening someday, probably sooner than I'd like to admit!ReplyDelete
I found myself saying phrases like that when I got married!!! :)ReplyDelete
Since E is too little to be destructive, we're still encourage throwing balls in the house. I'm sure this will come back to haunt me in the future. But you should see him carry around the huge football and "throw" it on the ground.ReplyDelete
I remember when Beth's blog header for "total mom haircut" was a photo of Carol Brady... cracked me up!ReplyDelete
i caught myself saying "because i said so." the other day.
lord help me i AM becoming my mother!
Oh Yeah...I sound like a broken record.ReplyDelete
First of all, you are WAY cooler than Carol Brady! We have all had those words from our lips. Mine seem to all have to do with finishing a meal!ReplyDelete
Not there yet... wait, does my husband and my brother-in-law count??? ;)ReplyDelete
I say that all the time, together with, "No running naked while visitors are in the house!"
I loved the Brady Bunch:)ReplyDelete
my son has been practicing baseball in the house this week!!! hitting a ball WITH a BAT in the kitchen, family room AND living room!!!! Good grief - yes I joined up with Carol Brady!!!ReplyDelete
I guess it's a universal truth: kids will try to play ball INSIDE of the house.
I too have voiced that very same phrase.

Severe weather hampers search for armed robber
Convenience store in Tilton robbed during Hurricane Sandy
Police said heavy rain and high winds made it difficult to search for a man involved in an armed robbery.
Tilton police said the Tilton Shop Express on Laconia Road was robbed at about 3:15 p.m.
Police said a man wearing dark clothing and a dark mask demanded that a clerk put money into a bag. The robber fled on foot toward Lancaster Hill Road. Witnesses said the man had a gun in his waistband, police said.
Tilton and state police searched the woods in the area, but they said the search was extremely difficult because of the severe weather caused by Hurricane Sandy. They were unable to find the robber.
Police said anyone with information should call them at 603-286-4442.

Muhammad Ali's famous words certainly ring true for the R&B star, who underwent rigorous boxing training to prepare for the upcoming film Hands of Stone, in which he plays another legendary boxer: Sugar Ray Leonard.
"What he did as a boxer is no different from what I do as a dancer," the 34-year-old Usher says of Leonard, now 57, in the November issue of Men's Health, on newsstands Oct. 15.
Usher went to great lengths to get into character – and even met with Leonard himself.
Peter Hapak / Men's Health
Usher also talks about the early days of his career, recounting how, at the age of 14, he moved to New York City to work with Sean "Diddy" Combs. The two spent long hours in the recording studio, followed by long hours dancing in nightclubs.
"My childhood wasn't like the average kid's," he says. "That's not really great for a young boy. But I didn't know."

LaCROFT - Now that snow is on the ground, Liverpool Township trustees are reminding residents that there is no parking on township streets.
"People don't normally park on county or state roads, but when it comes to township roads, people think it's their own private parking lot," Trustee Karl Kontnier said.
Residents who continue to park on township streets after receiving a warning will be ticketed or, if necessary, towed, he said.
"It makes it hard for snow trucks with plows to get through," Kontnier said. "We're going to crack down on that."
"We've got to be able to clean our roads," Trustee Keith Burke said.
Trustees addressed the issue at a regular meeting that they rescheduled for 9 a.m. Saturday because of the holidays. Trustees normally meet at 7 p.m. on the second and fourth Monday of the month.
Liverpool Township Patrolman Jayson Jackson said residents with vehicles parked on the street will first get a written warning, then a ticket. The township also has towed vehicles in the past, Kontnier said.
Also Saturday, trustees:
* Authorized Kontnier to be the township's agent when negotiating for the purchase of two new police cruisers. Two current cruisers have in excess of 100,000 miles on them and need to be replaced. "It's time," Kontnier said. The township hopes to take advantage of discounted pricing through the state's Cooperative Purchasing Program and have an order placed before a production deadline at the end of February, he said.
* Appropriated $10,000 from the permanent improvement fund to pay for upgrades to township buildings, including the storage building.
* Appointed road Foreman Bill Hutchman to fill the unexpired term of William Horrocks on the township zoning board of appeals. Horrocks' resignation from the board is effective Dec. 31. There are two years left on his term.

©2004 Island Road, LLC; (P)2004 Audio Renaissance, a division of Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC
"This collection showcases Burroughs's sharp, funny, and sometimes brilliant writing....Burroughs's smooth prose, peppered with charming and awkward moments, is occasionally reminiscent of David Sedaris and David Rakoff. But he's no imitator of those essayists. Rather, Burroughs ambles toward insight in a continual state of self-examination and just happens to have peculiar adventures along the way." (Publishers Weekly)
"really funny"
these short stories are so funny, great on the Ipod as a treat when doing something boring. one of the only audiobooks I listen to over again. Made me laugh out loud!
I work in Hospitality. I'm 32 years old. Love listening to my music. Armistead Maupin is the reason I visited San Francisco, and loved it.
"Great Book"
Bought this book last month and listened to it within the space of two days. This book is comic and interesting. It is honest and makes for great listening especially the chapter on Augusten's cleaning lady. A must!!
"Much of The Same"
After the successful way his previous books landed, I was really looking forward to Magical Thinking from Augusten Burroughs. Its the same witty and emotional ride as previous volumes, a real life account from his troubled past and present laid out for us in the rawest descriptions possible, however, by the time I got half way through this one I started to waver somewhat because of the style repetition. Its still a good read and listen, very funny in places, sad and shocking in others, completely inspiring. I would recommend to anyone reading all the Augusten Burroughs volumes to not do what I did and listen to them all one after the other, break them up a bit maybe listen to a couple of other books in between each one then they wont become a bore for you as they are brilliantly written and narrated, I loved them all but listening to them all one after each other made the experience not so enjoyable for me personally.
"His best yet!"
For fans of Augusten Burroughs, this is a real treat. Snippets of stuff you know from Running with Scissors weaves through his best writing yet in the form of essays about his life, relationships, neuroses, and career. He's a great reader, too, and his words and voice combine to wonderful effect. I laughed out loud a couple times in public while listening on my iPod, and while I must have looked like a wacko, I had a great time.
"Read the others first, then judge......."
To all those comparing this author to David Sedaris because they are both gay and both write memoirs, please stop. So they are both homosexual and write about their lives -- after that their similarities stop. Anyone who has read Running with Scissors and his followup Dry, understands where this author is coming from. There is a reason why he is darkly funny and considered somewhat into himself. Your perceptions of egotism would change if you knew more about his humor and childhood. Though I didn't think that this was his best work yet, it was very worthy of my time and I enjoyed it. Before you take this one on, make sure you read his other books first.
"He Tells It As It Is!"
I ordered the book from Amazon and then found I could get it today (10-5-04) thru Audible. I had to erase David Sedaris from my MP3 player and settled in for a most wondeful night.
If you have not read Mr. B before, this is a funny, with dark tones, great book.
But, if you are like me, I not only read but listened to his all his books and more than once, and this is like a film-buff finding a long, director's cut of his favorite films.
It fills in little corners of his life with such richness of character that you can relate to his stories...who hasn't enrolled in a model school (I flunked an IBM School 'cause I didn't like being on the bus in the morning with commuters) and the Undertaker Story brings to mind a character from "Dry" to whom, for one, I always wanted to hear more about.
Mr. B actually will answer your E-Mail (don't expect a PenPal!) and I asked him why he never mentions his famous relative, William. I never forget his answer "I am not related to him!" (thank God you can't see a person turn red on the internet)
I have pushed his audio's on various people at work and was surprised when the young married ladies (27 - 40) thought he was hilarious.
Read the book and Buy and listen to him reading them. I love "Running With Scissors" I suppose best, but there are a couple of times in "Dry" (usually when I am in heavy traffic!) when I have cried, a lot.
"Magical Thinking" is so much fun and I just love being with him, again.
And now I am wondering when will his next book come out?
By the way, I started listening to this just as I was coming from having my 91 year mother commited to the Pysch Ward. It made me fill much better and more hopeful.
"A bit repetitive"
If you've read his other works, you will see how repetitive he is when discussing his life lessons. I didn't find the material to be fresh. Also his narration is stilted.
"A great listen for the dedicated fan"
If you enjoyed "Dry" and "Running With Scissors" and wished they wouldn't end, this is the book for you. It's a series of vignettes and little stories from his life, all written with his particular blend of dark, funny, self-deprecating narcissism. I can't get enough of it.
That said, this lacks the narrative structure and the visceral satisfaction of his other books. "Running With Scissors" is warped, but it's basically a coming-of age story. "Dry" is a dark story of personal transformation, with characters to care about, etc.
"Magical Thinking" is more like a really good dinner conversation. Some stories have a point, others are just some funny thing that happened. That's just fine with me and his other fans, but if you're not already sold on the guy, don't make this your first listen.
Oh, and one more thing: There's one story where he's really cruel to a mouse and regrets it later. It's pretty hard-core, as mouse-killings go. If you can't handle the grisly death of a mouse, either skip the story or don't get the book. Simple as that.
"I just don't know"
I was first introduced to Augusten Burroughs with his book "Dry" and enjoyed his self-deprecating sense of humor, but this book is not of the same caliber....I found myself wincing at most of the "funny" anecdotes that he recounts. Additionally, Burrough's narration is at times embarassing, as his ability to emulate his character's voices comes off a bit sophomoric and amatuerish. My suggestion to anyone looking for light, comedic reading to purchase go for anthing by David Sedaris, as he is the definitive master of this genre.
"Makes you long for Sedaris..."
I suppose it's a bit unfair to compare Burroughs to David Sedaris just because they're both gay essayists. But it's impossible not to. Sedaris is genius and I was hoping that Burroughs would be just as good, if only because I've run out of Sedaris books to listen to. Unfortunately, Burroughs doesn't even come close. He readily admits in one of the chapters that he is shockingly self-absorbed. There's no arguing that. It's clear from every story he tells. And in the end, it's difficult to like someone who's so into himself and thus, difficult to like stories told by an unlikeable person. Burroughs tries for sentiment sometimes, but it seems forced and always goes back to him, him, him. The humor is likewise tortured out of the banal stories which just don't deserve telling. And his attempts at self-deprecation are just not convincing given his pervasive egotism. Having said that, some of the reviews here are unfair and come from homophobic people who had no idea what they were getting into. That's not the reason to avoid this audiobook. The reason is you're much better off listening to one of Sedaris' over again.
"Burroughs Best"
The humor, lightness, and content is fresh and easy to listen to.
It did make me literally, laugh out loud.
"guilty pleasure"
Augustin is just so far over the top, you almost feel guilty that you enjoy it so much! His "correcting" of children is simply laugh out loud as it's just sooo wrong.
"A Little Magic"
This wasn't quite as good as Running with Scissors. It was well read and kept my interest.

NHL Fan Lockout Pledge
Posted 19 October 2012 - 03:42 PM
These poor desision making small market teams hold all the power and keep Bettmen doing what he does making it as profitable a league as he can pretty much for the best interest for middle of the road and bad market teams. The tier teams will make more money at the expense of losing being able to ice great teams. The ability to go out and spend disappears so whats the difference for a player to go anywhere other than the fact that team x happens to have more cap space that year. Mediocracy is all we will most likely get out of the NHL so that more owners can be more profitable. Unfortunatly as Red Wings fans we lose.

So I am replacing the money I would spend on Center Ice and taking friends to the Gwinette Gladiators games. Got 2 tickets on the glass for 22 bucks a piece for tomorrows game. Good luck getting that price in any NHL arena.
Is it NHL hockey no! Do they skate, hit, score and fight(something that needs to come back in the NHL), ...YUP!
This gives me my hockey fix and I think IF we get a season back it will be a struggle to "punish" the team I love but I just might not spend that money on that new Helm jersey I was thinking about.
Posted 19 October 2012 - 08:02 PM
I understand the thought process....but what do you epect to accomplish by this other than missing out on hockey?
I must disagree. I have been a Wings fan since Gordie was still good. I wear Wings gear 365 days a year. I eat Little Caesars, especially when new contracts are signed (see Pavel and Hank) to help pay those contracts. I attend games every chance I can afford them. My family had season tickets since 1982. The Wings/Leafs Winter Classic is the game of a lifetime for me. I have poured most of my disposable income into this team. I think I can safely call myself a true fan.
This lockout has, shall we say, dampened my enthusiasm. If a deal IS done this year, as much as it pains me, I will not attend the Winter Classic. I have begun purchasing non-Wings related winter clothing. Some who know me see this as a sign of the apocalypse. I don't know that I will even watch any games, but I won't rule out the possibility. That not watching is even a consideration for me would have been inconceivable 3 months ago. 3 lockouts has taken its toll. Being a fan of hockey has not come cheap; why am I going to hand over thousands of dollars to a sport that doesn't give a s*** whether I attend or not, outside of the profit pool?
If, as a fan, I can't have a CBA with the NHL guaranteeing me they won't cancel out the sport I've spent a lifetime loving and supporting, then for now, I'm not giving them a dime. I need a new computer anyway. Not buying Wings sweatshirts should cover that.

It's planting time for cool season veggies.
For many people, gardening season starts in May, around Mother's Day, when the danger of frost is past and we can get those tomato starts into some real soil.
But you don't have to wait. In fact, for some important and tasty garden crops, you should get on it now. Please don't tell me your yard is too small. It's not. Gardens don't have to be giant ugly rectangles of dirt and cabbage on the edge of your lawn. (See the Greeley Moms Pinterest page for lovely pictures of edible crops mixed into small home flower beds.)
The varieties listed below need to be planted now so that they can grow and flourish in the cool temperatures they love. These cool season veggies germinate in cool soil temperatures and grow best in temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees.
This planting guide from CSU Extension is a great resource.
Fabric row cover can protect these plants from hard freezes at night, with the added benefit of keeping pests like flea beetles off of them.
Do it today! Find a spot, prep your soil (which means dig it up and mix in some good compost to make it light and fluffy), and plant the following seeds this weekend or next. Usually, the seed packets give you instructions about how deep to plant the seeds and how far apart the plants should be. If this is your first time, or if you haven't been successful in the past with seeds, plant twice what the packet recommends and then thin the plants that come up.
These should be the first thing you plant (do it today!), and since pea plants are climbers, you'll need some sort of structure for them to climb up. A fence works well, but you can add anything that the plants can grab onto, which gives you a lot of room to be creative and design something cool (again, see Pinterest). You can do shelling peas, snow peas or snap peas (or all three... so good).
These spicy little beauties are easy to grow, and so pretty in salad. I recommend an Easter egg mix or French breakfast radishes (does anyone know if the French really eat radishes for breakfast? I've always wondered).
Hakurei Turnips
These are not the monstrous rooty turnips straight out of Grimm's Fairy Tales that show up in fall. Hakurei turnips are sweet, delicate versions of this root, as delicious raw as they are sauteed. Trust me on this. You can get white and scarlet varieties, so for optimum beauty (as important as flavor in a home garden, don't you think?), you should get both!
I recommend salad mixes for small spaces, but it can be hard, when they first germinate, to know which are lettuce seedlings and which are weeds. This is something that can be learned by observation and experience, or you can start these seeds in pots so you know the soil is clean.
Onions, kale, chard, collard greens, arugula, and cole crops are cold season hardy as well. If you plant them now, these crops will be in to enjoy May through June, and then you can clear them out of the garden to make room for a second round when things cool down in the fall.

Quote from: Skulker on August 23, 2012, 12:19:47 PMIf by normal you mean about the same as Nikon I would agree with you. (why do I get the sneaky feeling you may not agree with me )I have to agree, from what I see published on some web sites testing these cameras, the SNR of all the top line cameras is pretty similar across their ISO range.
If by normal you mean about the same as Nikon I would agree with you. (why do I get the sneaky feeling you may not agree with me )
But I'll take the worse reported SNR of the D800 over the low ISO noise of any Canon product to date because it's less visible. MUCH less visible. And any bloke with access to both cameras can determine that quite readily with little more than Photoshop and ACR (or Lightroom) and a lenscap.
While these are interesting, They don't showcase anything that couldn't be done on a d30.
I think it would be named 1D S There is the 1D X and 1D C and then the 1D S
Quote from: RLPhoto on August 24, 2012, 10:55:29 AMWhile these are interesting, They don't showcase anything that couldn't be done on a d30. HA!Nice try. That's only +2 EV and 63% fill light on Adobe ACR 6.7Either of those settings alone can show up banding noise in dark areas in some low ISO canon raw files. (I'm discovering there's sometimes more to it than that tho, can vary with Canon shutter speed)Addenda: I can actually drag fill light to 100 to start to blow out the sand in the LR corner and it only shows a little chroma noise that could be removed with basic NR and still show plenty of detail.see below from the d800 for a sample of low DR scene that's NOT at base ISO:- 1st is a 1/10th linear scale of the whole frame- 2nd is a full crop take a guess at the ISOI'll provide a few clues: f/8, 1/20s only a few points of luminance NR, May 25th, 7:50PM MST, in shade, about 53.5 degrees N latitude. ACR 6.7 using 10 pts of luminance NR on top of the default 25 pts of chrominance NR.Ancient 55mm macro for glass.I'd LOVE it if my 5D2 came out this clean at those settings.check my tech blog for the dark noise comparison if you want to see impressive lens caps shots. I really shouldn't clutter this particular thread with this so I'll likely delete this & other images SundayMEANWHILE: did you guess iso 800?... nope1600?... not it either.That's ISO 3200 performance on the d800. Still pretty clean in the dark areas. and lots of crop-ability

Naming your business
Choose the name for your business carefully. It will precede you wherever you go!
What's in a name?
The right name can be an effective advertising tool that can help your customers understand what your business does and which market you are targeting. The wrong name can confuse or drive away customers.
Some things to think about:
Does it describe the product or service you offer?
You don't want to waste your customers' time or give them the wrong impression about your products or services, especially when you can't always control the context in which they first see or hear about your business.
Does it reflect the values of your business?
Think about how you want your business to be perceived.
Is the name distinctive?
It's important to separate yourself from the competition and allow customers to identify you as a unique brand. Choose a name that doesn't already exist in the market. Unless you plan to have a fairly robust marketing strategy, keep your name simple and avoid abbreviations and acronyms.
Can customers identify and remember it?
Names that are easy to pronounce and spell will help customers remember you. It may be tempting to choose a name that has personal significance, but put yourself in the customer's shoes.
Are you legally allowed to use it?
By law, the name of your business can't be the same as (or very similar to) an existing corporate name or trade-mark. You'll want to do an online name search once you have an idea for a name, to be sure that it's unique.
Some aspects of selecting a business name are subjective, and you may come across advice that is based on people's personal preferences or experiences, and not on practical evidence. If you need assistance, you can hire a professional to help you with creating a name and navigating the trade-mark laws.

Your business name and your Web domain name
Before you register your business under the name you've chosen, give some thought to your online presence as well. Even if you aren't planning to establish a website immediately, you may want to do so in the future. As with your business name, you'll want your domain name to be unique and distinctive.
- If someone else already owns the rights to the Web domain name you've selected, you may end up sending a lot of business their way or making it difficult for customers to find you. If the domain is already taken, you may wish to choose a different business name.
- If your business name is very long, you might want to think about having a shortened version of it for your domain name, which will be easier to remember and to type.
- Think about what category of domain extension you might want; for example, .ca (Canadian), .com (commercial), .org (organization), or other extension.
- You may want to have multiple domain names or domain extensions; for example, one dot ca and one dot com, or one with the long version of your company name and another with an acronym. You might even choose different domains for different business lines.
- Take a close look at your domain name, especially if you are combining words or using phrases. There are no spaces in a domain name, so you don't want any unintentional meanings to crop up.
Have a domain name in mind? Learn more about domain names, check the availability of your chosen domain, and find out how to register it.

"I just wanted you guys all to meet and I thought it would be fun," Yolanda tells her guests as they dine on her favorite chicken salad at her Malibu home.
And Kyle is impressed. "I'm actually a very big fan of Suzanne Somers's books," she says. "I'm interested in the topics she talks about. She says basically that if you eat the right food and take the right vitamins, you can live forever."
But Lisa isn't as interested in following the 66-year-old Three's Company star's plan for living to the age of 110.
"I couldn't take 40 pills a day," Lisa says. "There's no way I could swallow that many pills in one day."
She's also uneasy with the Suzanne's claim that she wants to be sexual up to her (very) old age.
When Yolanda and Suzanne ask about her own sex drive and hormone replacement, Lisa responds with her signature humor.
"I'm running perfectly," she says. "It's working guys. If it ain't broken, don't try and fix it."
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Monday (9 p.m. ET) on Bravo.

Another year, another list of games, another batch of turkeys. 2010 might have been a great year for games, but it's had its fair share of rubbish too. Let's take a look at the games we wish we'd avoided.
Naughty Bear
The tale of a mentalist teddy bear who kills other toy bears on an island. It's just like The Most Dangerous Game! But with bears! And once that novelty wears off you'll be in for literal hours of repetitive gameplay, glitches, dull mechanics, and clunky action in a game that tries so hard to be irreverent.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - The finalized job description for IVGID general manager includes requirements for candidates to have a four-year bachelor's degree and a minimum of 10 years of increasingly responsible experience, while demanding the new leader become a resident of the district.The 7-page description, obtained late Friday by the North Lake Tahoe Bonanza, lists the job's salary range as $100,000 to $200,000. According to a timeline the Incline Village General Improvement District Board of Trustees adopted at its Jan. 30 meeting, the job will officially be posted on Thursday, Feb. 14, on the district's website at www.ivgid.org. The job posting period ends March 15.According to a draft timeline presented in the Jan. 30 meeting's agenda packet, the final description was expected be ready for board adoption at its meeting this Wednesday, Feb. 13. The meeting was canceled on Friday, however, due to a lack of agenda items.At the Jan. 30 meeting, trustees voted to submit individual edits to the original 3-page description to IVGID Director of Human Resources Dee Carey. Once changes were added, Carey met with trustees Jim Smith and Bruce Simonian and board clerk Susan Herron to draft the final description."The responsibility of the finalization of the job description was tasked to Chairman Simonian and Trustee Smith by the IVGID Board of Trustees (on) January 30, 2013; no further action was required by the IVGID Board of Trustees," Herron said in a press release Tuesday.The trustees received a copy of the description as an informational item at the end of last week. According to the updated timeline - which is available on the front page of www.ivgid.org - trustees will determine by the March 25 meeting whether to move forward with candidates who respond to the job posting. If it does, various interviews and screenings would conclude with the board making a final recommendation for a new GM sometime in May.If none of the initial candidates are deemed sufficient, the board may then vote on whether to hire an executive search firm at its April 10 meeting."The process for the hiring of the district's general manager has been thoughtful and it began with the timeline which is available at ivgid.org," Tuesday's press release reads. "...The clear goal has always been and will continue to be to find the best candidate for this position. ...

The Cost of Attendance (COA) is an estimate of what it costs the typical student to attend UTB for a given period of time, and includes the following components:
Tuition and Fees—The average academic-year cost for tuition and fees for a typical UTB fulltime student. The actual costs that a student incurs will vary depending on the student's program of study.
Books and Supplies—The average academic-year cost of books and supplies for a typical UTB fulltime student. This does not include unusual costs for special groups of students (i.e. engineering or art majors).
Room and Board—A reasonable estimate of the cost of living in Brownsville while attending UTB for an entire academic year. Actual costs may vary based depending on location, and other choices.
Transportation—The estimated transportation costs for a typical fulltime student who attends UTB for an entire academic year. Actual costs may vary depending on mode of transportation, and other choices.
Personal and Misc—A reasonable allowance for other living expenses incurred during an academic year by a typical UTB fulltime student.
Standardized costs of attendance are established each year and are applied to applicants in similar situations. This means that students with similar circumstances will receive the same allowances for each component included in the cost of attendance. Students may request a cost of attendance evaluation by providing current documentation of expenses with a written explanation of unusual circumstances to Financial Aid.

High Point, NC -- A child in High Point is recovering after being hit by a car at a bus stop Wednesday morning. The accident happened on Gordon Street at Kimery Drive around 7:30 am.
High Point Police said the bus was stopped with its stop-arm and lights activated. Officers say 21-year-old Eugenie Niyomwungere was driving in the opposite direction and hit 6-year-old Benini Secilia while she was crossing the street. Medical workers took Secilia to High Point Regional Hospital, where she was treated for cuts and bruises.
Police have charged Niyomungere with a felony count of passing a stopped school bus that results in injury. Officers say she told them she didn't see the bus.
Bus No. 271 was taking children to Montlieu Academy of Technology, according to a Guilford County Schools representative. No other students were harmed, and those who were on the bus made it to school safely.
This is the fourth incident involving a child being hit by a vehicle near a bus stop since the beginning of December.

Erie math teachers get iPads to track lessons
Erie teachers now have a new tool to let them know if what they teach matches an upcoming change in math curriculum standards.
A total of 375 elementary, middle and high school teachers in the Erie School District were given Apple iPads and are training in a new system where they will track what math lessons they give on a day-to-day basis. An online program created by Michigan State University researchers will automatically compare teachers' instruction to the Common Core State Standards in math, giving educators a window in how they might need to change their approach.
"It will show them just how in line or out of line their teaching is with the Common Core," said Kate Jacobson, the community relations and employee engagement manager for GE Transportation who oversees the $23.6 million investment in the Erie School District.
The Common Core State Standards are part of a nationwide initiative, adopted by 46 states and the District of Columbia, that seek to cover fewer topics in math and reading but study those topics in greater depth. The new standards go into effect in 2014.
Marcia Lillis-Tome, the GE Foundation grant program manager for the district, said that shift is exactly what this new initiative will address.
"There are many aspects in all the grade levels that are being taught before they should be," Lillis-Tome said. "The common core curriculum is based on mastery. Our curriculum we teach now is not."
The Erie School District is one of 11 districts participating in the tracking program, which started as a research project through Michigan State University's Center for the Study of Curriculum.
William Schmidt, co-director of that center and a Michigan State University distinguished professor of both education and statistics, said the original goal was just to see what areas caused the greatest struggles for teachers as they transitioned to the new standards.
"Some of the things we've learned are that some teachers don't have the right knowledge to teach the new standards," Schmidt said. "And some teachers are still touching on more subjects than required."
But he said teachers quickly saw using the program helped them move to the new standards more efficiently.
"It was forcing teachers to engage the common core," Schmidt said. "I like to compare it to a mirror. They were constantly being reminded of what they were teaching and that reflection helps guide them."
Teachers log their lessons every day based on grade level and subject area and how much time was spent on each lesson that day. Over days and weeks that data is transformed into charts and graphs that tell teachers what they've been focusing on, for how long, and how it aligns with the new standards.
Teachers also can make comments on individual lessons and answer questions each day rating how lessons went, their background knowledge of subjects, how lessons relate to the standards and if their students mastered the material.
The Michigan State University research is funded through a grant from the GE Foundation. Schmidt said the Erie School District's relationship with the GE Foundation helped them become one of the schools in the iPad project along with the Jefferson County Public Schools in Louisville, Ky. -- another GE Foundation-affiliated school.
Over the past few weeks, the district has hosted training sessions on using the iPads and the journaling software.
Michael Turner, a seventh- and eighth-grade math teacher at Diehl Elementary School, has taught in the district for seven years and said the move to the Common Core is going to be challenging for teachers. But he said the iPad journaling project can only help.
"I think it's a start," Turner said. "It gives us a step in the right direction."
The journaling program doesn't just benefit teachers though. It has the ability to send school and district administrators information on how much time their student body is spending on particular subjects and how comfortable their staff is with particular lessons.
Schmidt said the software was designed to make sure that administrators don't get reports on individual teachers, just on collective results of schools or grade levels.
Lillis-Tome said that data gives the district a leg up on the transition.
"We still have a lot of work to do, there's no doubt about it," Lillis-Tome said. "But I'm completely confident that with the work that we're doing and the help from GE our academic achievement will go up."

To: Marquette University Community
From: L. Christopher Miller, Vice President for Student Affairs
I am writing to share with you news of an accident involving two of our students at 17th Street and Wisconsin Avenue shortly after 9 a.m. The students were on the sidewalk when they were struck by a vehicle. Both students were immediately transported to Froedtert Hospital, where they are being treated for serious injuries. Both students' families, as well as their instructors and residence hall directors, have been contacted.
The prayers of our entire campus community go out to the students, their families and their friends. The Chapel of the Holy Family in the AMU will be open at 1 p.m. for the community to gather in prayer and support. We have an incredibly close-knit community and I am confident that we will pull together to support our students.
The Department of Public Safety stopped the vehicle and the driver was taken into custody by the Milwaukee Police Department.
We recognize that at that time of day, many of you may have witnessed the accident. We encourage our campus community to make use of Marquette's counseling and spiritual services, including Campus Ministry, the Counseling Center, and the resources available through the Office of Residence Life and the Division of Student Affairs.
As I have said before, the safety and wellbeing of our students is our most important priority. We will continue to keep the campus community informed as more information is made available.

LEWISTOWN - One-by-one the kayakers and canoers participating in the annual Sojourn, drifted in to Victory Park on Tuesday for a lunch break.
The Sojourn, held by the Juniata Clean Water Partnership brings people together to embark on a journey down the river to draw attention to watershed conservation.
The four-day trip down the river started Saturday at Mapleton Depot's Riverside Park and will end today in Juniata County at Mexico.

Penni Abram, of Port Royal, left, pushes off the river bank Tuesday at Victory Park in Lewistown to join the other paddlers in the Juniata River Sojourn. This year, 49 paddlers are participating in the annual multi-day canoe and kayak trip on the main branch of the Juniata River. The sojourn is held to promote river stewardship and local natural resource awareness.
Mike Makufka, Executive Director of the JCWP, said this was the 13th Sojourn down the Juniata River.
Makufka said the Rothrock Outfitters from Huntingdon County came along to ensure safety.
"Property owners along the river are really nice," Makufka said.
"Nicest thing I noticed is the increase in bald eagles," he added.
A total of 49 people participated this year, including Paul Nixon, of San Francisco.
Nixon is an avid kayaker and tries to come east every once in a while to visit family in Pittsburgh and New York and he plans his trips around various sojourns he would like to do while in the area.
Nixon said there is a lot of wildlife on the river and that he found a moth as big as his fist.
Nixon was joined on the trip by longtime family friend Dawn Frank, who said a number of bald eagles and kingfishers were seen along the river.
Frank said it is nice that the river is so accessible to everyone.
Another experienced kayaker, Will Goddard, said Pennsylvania has so many rivers that people can take advantage of.
The sojourners were met with a catered lunch and local representatives, Kevin Morgan with Community Partnerships RC&D, and Jim Tunall, president of the Juniata River Valley Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau.
Morgan gave a presentation on invasive plants and pollinators.
Makufka said he has noticed an increase in the invasive plant population over the years.
Tunall highlighted some of the local industrial companies, such as Standard Steel, which is investing $62 million. The company employs around 700 people.
Tunall also spoke about some of the local festivals, such as the Juniata RiverFEST and Goose Day.
After the presentations, the sojourners slipped back into their kayaks and canoes for the next leg of their journey.

Every time that subsidies for wind energy have ceased, the industry went into a tailspin. The industry had a near-miss this year because the wind energy production tax credit almost died.
The PTC may die at the end of this year. If it does, any project in Boone County will not receive the subsidy. Wind energy receives a subsidy that is worth approximately 88 times as much as conventional sources receive. To quote someone else: "no form of fossil generation has a production-related subsidy. Rather, tax credits granted fossil fuels are akin to those available to any industry involved in mining and mineral extraction. The generation side does not receive any subsidy."
The current setback in Boone County is 1,000 feet from primary structures. That is wholly inadequate compared to increasingly larger setbacks in Illinois counties that already have wind turbines. Last year, Bureau County rejected more wind turbines. The company that proposed those wind turbines is the same company that wants to site wind turbines in Boone County.
Wisconsin State Senator Frank Lasee recently testified that new wind turbine heights may exceed 700 feet. A Wisconsin resident testified that one company switched out shorter with taller wind turbines to get around the setback.

Prosecutors have filed first-degree murder charges in connection with the fatal shooting of an employee at Chubby's Diner late Tuesday.
Investigators said the victim was shot in the back of the head near 36th Street and Broadway about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. He was later identified as Lionel S. Hernandez, 47, of Kansas City.
Police said Hernandez and another employee, Jeffrey Hulett, walked across the street to a convenience store to buy lottery tickets.
According to court documents, when police took Hulett into custody, he told them that the gun in his possession was the gun used to shoot Hernandez. Police said Hulett told them that he planned the shooting in advance and because Hernandez had "crossed the line."
Police said Hulett told them he lured Hernandez outside with an offer to buy him lottery tickets and then shot him point blank.

Border Patrol office near Dallas to close this year
Both the U.S. Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are agencies within the Department of Homeland Security with similar functions of customs work and apprehensions of immigrants in the U.S. unlawfully.
So, this week, the Border Patrol announced it will close 6 Texas offices in the interior of the state, including its Dallas post, within the next six months. The Dallas office, which is actually in Euless, opened in 1988.
Four persons there will be transferred, said spokesman Bill Brooks of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The Border Patrol falls under CBP within the sprawling Homeland Security Department.
The other Texas posts are in Abilene, Amarillo, Lubbock, San Angelo, and San Antonio. Three offices in the interior of the U.S. will be closed in Billings, Montana, Twin Falls, Idaho, and Riverside,Calif. The closures affect 41 employees in an agency that has seen its employee numbers double to 21,300 over a little more than a decade.
And how many ICE employees are there in the North Texas region?
"For operational security reasons, ICE does not provide staffing levels," Carl Rusnok, the ICE spokesman, told us.
The Dallas regional office of ICE covers more than 120 counties in North Texas and the entire state of Oklahoma.
ICE, obviously a growing agency since formed in 2003, has made record interior apprehensions in the last few years of about 400,000 persons annually. Meantime, the Border Patrol's apprehensions have decreased about 70 percent since 2000 through fiscal year 2010.

Olympic training pool heading for Birmingham
18 March 2014
Birmingham residents will be able to follow in the footsteps of Olympic champions Rebecca Adlington and Michael Phelps after the City Council confirmed one of the London 2012 Olympic training pools is heading for Sparkhill.
"Not only is that an exciting prospect for anyone who was fired up by 2012, but it is also coming to Birmingham at a fraction of the cost of a new pool."The Council submitted a £200,000 bid for the tank, heating system and filters of one of the nine training pools used during the Games and the pool will be packaged up and rebuilt in the city, replacing the derelict Sparkhill Pool which closed in 2009.
The new pool and leisure centre is set to include not only the six-lane 25m training pool, but a fitness suite, dance studio, community room and sauna and will open in September 2015.
Council deputy leader Ian Ward said: "Our successful bid for one of the pools from the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games means that we will soon have the chance to literally immerse ourselves in the Olympic legacy!
"Not only is that an exciting prospect for anyone who was fired up by 2012, but it is also coming to Birmingham at a fraction of the cost of a new pool."

Use words with precision.
It is an error of diction (sometimes called an error of literacy) to confuse such words as the following:
affect and effect
allude and elude
almost and most
less and fewer
imply and infer
its and it's
their and there
lie and lay
like and as
to, two, and too
presently and currently or now
blatant and obvious
complement and compliment
amount and number
incident and incidence
principal and principle
disinterested and uninterested
hopefully and I hope
prophecy and prophesy
Use a dictionary to look up and understand the meaning of these words. For more information, refer to Commonly Confused Words.
Avoiding errors is necessary but does not in itself produce good diction. Decide what you mean; then choose the precise word or words that express your meaning. If your thought can be efficiently expressed in concrete terms, such terms are better than their abstract equivalents. Try to avoid colorless verbs and adjectives, dead metaphors, trite expressions, and any constructions that you would be embarrassed to read aloud. For example:
1. The chapel is a very nice building with an interesting steeple.
[Ok, but what does it look like?]
2. One of the many things I liked about the story was its style.
[Things and style are both exceedingly vague. This sentence and the one above were probably written by someone who did not know what he or she wanted to say. The writer should think more carefully before writing.]
3. It goes without saying that it is time we stopped regarding Indians as something out of the past with no relevance to America in this day and age.
[If it goes without saying, don't say it. These are trite expressions. Better: Clearly, we should stop regarding Native Americans as having no relevance to America today.]
4. He seemed oblivious about what I was capable to do.
[Unidiomatic expression. Better: He seemed unaware of what I was capable of doing.]
5. Othello cannot deal with Iago's statements about Desdemona.
[Vague and informal. Better: Othello cannot think rationally when he hears Iago's accusations against Desdemona.]

SANFORD, Fla. - The judge in the case of George Zimmerman says it would take extreme circumstances for her to grant a continuance for his upcoming self-defense immunity hearing.
Judge Debra Nelson said Thursday that she would, however, consider rolling George Zimmerman's immunity hearing under the state's so-called "Stand Your Ground" law into the scheduled June trial.
Defense attorney Mark O'Mara will formally get to argue for that during another pre-trial hearing next week.
For now, Nelson has reserved the final two weeks of April for the immunity hearing. She had also requested an initial jury pool of 500 for June's second-degree murder trial.
"You know as well as I do that this case has had massive publicity so we'll
have to get to those jurors who at least have heard something about it can
set it aside," said Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara.
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty.

Bill for annual sessions passes Senate committee
(AP) — A Senate committee has amended and approved a proposed constitutional amendment for annual legislative sessions in Nevada.
Senate Joint Resolution 8 calls for 90-day sessions in odd numbered years. In even numbered years, lawmakers would convene for 30 days with an option to meet in Las Vegas.
The measure was amended to remove a provision that called for lawmakers to be paid at least $2,000 per month during their terms. Under existing law, they only receive a salary for the first 60 days of the 120-day sessions held every two years.
Another provision that would have required Senate confirmation of gubernatorial appointments was removed.
The bill now goes to the Senate floor.
If approved this year, it would have to be approved by the 2015 Legislature and voters in 2016.
Bills would allow same day voter registration
(AP) — A bill to allow same day voter registration in Nevada is being met with familiar arguments for and against the issue.
AB440 presented by Democratic Assemblyman James Ohrenschall of Las Vegas and Secretary of State Ross Miller would extend registration in the 2014 election cycle through the early voting period, which ends the Friday before Election Day.
Same-day registration would begin in 2016.
Currently, registration closes three weeks before an election.
In a hearing Thursday, Miller told members of an Assembly committee that more than 7,300 people registered too late and were unable to vote in last November's election.
Critics expressed concerns about possible voter fraud.
Others dismissed arguments by supporters that registration deadlines disenfranchise voters, saying meeting deadlines amount to personal responsibility.
No action was taken on the bill.
Speaker wants report on Nevada tax abatements
(AP) — Assembly Speaker Marilyn Kirkpatrick says it's time Nevada knows how much the state gives out in tax abatements.
The North Las Vegas Democrat on Thursday presented AB466. The bill would require the state budget director to prepare a report every two years on tax exemptions.
The report would detail the fiscal impact exemptions have had on state and local governments and how many taxpayers benefit from the tax breaks. Kirkpatrick also wants to know how much revenue would result if exemptions were repealed.
Kirkpatrick says Nevada is one of five states that don't track tax abatements.
Without such information, she says the state doesn't know how much it might be losing or the benefits it reaps.
No action was taken Thursday by the Assembly Taxation Committee.

Ya I think my dog would want to go after them he gets really excited around other dogs. That's why I will never hunt him without his e collar because I know I can stop him in his tracks with it. My dog likes to hunt close and I never let him push out way in front of me so at least I have eyes on him at all time and can give him the command to come to me if I see a wolf. I always keep a slip lead with me as well so I can put that on him and not have my hand tide up reaching down holding on his collar.
I had a couple run in with wolves last year in the Longville/Remer area but that was just with me on foot with no dog.
The one thing that gets me is "Only agents of the government are authorized to take wolves if pets or livestock are threatened, attacked or killed"
I don't think I could just stand there and watch my dog die.
Anyway did you hunt a different area? Any birds I have only been out once in the mille lacs area and didn't see any. Going to Nemadji this weekend and should see some.
A friend and I will also be up chasing smallmouth this weekend!!!
Add Sallie to the list.
Went up north of Tofte last weekend camping/looking for a few grouse and to see the fall colors. Was in the region of the grade and 600 road. Pulled off on a walk only trail to run my lab and see if I could kick a few. Anyhow, my lab sits and barks like hell with anticipation at me every time I'm getting the gun out and getting ready to hunt her. So for about 5 minutes she's harassing me loud barking with excitement. We start walking down the trail maybe 50 yards and I see all this brown commotion jumping around ahead of us about 75 yards. At first I think we startled some deer. Then one came out full on the trail and stood watching me/dog. They were timber wolves. That one slunk off in the woods and another came out and just sat there looking at us for about a minute or so. When I noticed they were wolves I grabbed the dog by the caller. They seemed interested in my dog. Her barking must have drew them in. They ran off after looking us over a bit. I turned around and left that spot to avoid any issues. I'm thinking that maybe some younger bird dogs would be enticed to chase after wolves that show this kind of interest in them. In my opinion that would be bad and a dog may not come back alive, given their boldness and interest in my dog. It was fun seeing them, but we didn't just walk up and surprise them, they were coming to see the barking dog. Just curious? Maybe. Looking for an easy meal, maybe. I'm just putting this out there to inform bird hunters up there what I saw, so they can be aware if they have dogs. And no they were not coyotes.
Made it out yesterday evening, SAW 4 deer. The same small buck and 3 does. They sure seemed skittish with the wind.
For the fact I am getting very few daytime pics of any deer, I am at lest seeing a few every sit.
The crescent and south switch meet all the criteria, except for boat access. And they even usually have some sort of craft beer on tap, like surly furious etc.
The only place near the lake that has upscale food that I am aware of is the casino. We try to get to the wilderness grill for lunch a time or two. And daughter and husband will sometimes go there on date night while they are up, although the pull to the east is less now that the quilt shop in tower shut down.
I am going up this weekend with a few buddies and the plan is to fish hard...will post back and let ya know if we find anything.
Was up for the week of Sept 10-17th. First day spent on East and West Fox lake and we did well on bass, crappie and northerns. Second day was very slow fishing. Spent one day on Kego and did well on bass and norhterns. Hit Mitchel twice and did well on sunfish and bass. A few nice crappies in the mix as well. Went to Little Boy for a day of walleye fishing, and it was very slow. 1 walleye and 1 smallmouth bass. Great week of fishing on a few new lakes. A very nice area to explore.1 person likes this
The trees are turning color fast now! Seems to gain color by the hour now!
Driving a scenic route through a state forest is a great way to view fall color, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
"Routes through hilly or rugged areas dominated by deciduous trees tend to have the best mix of color," said Jennifer Teegarden, DNR forestry outreach specialist. "And the dark green needles of conifers accent the yellow, orange and red leaves of deciduous trees in mixed forest."
Here are a few state forests routes to consider:
Late September
- Finland State Forest heading northeast along County Road 7 from Finland.
Early October
- Bowstring and Blackduck state forests along state Highway 46 between Deer River and Northome.
- Pillsbury State Forest along Beauty Lake Forest Road between County Road 77 and County Road 1.
- St. Croix and Nemadji state forests loop. From Interstate 35, take exit #183 and head east on state Highway 48. Head north on County Road 24. Head east on County Road 24. At Markville, head north on County Road 31. Head west on Park Forest Road. At Kerrick, head south on state Highway 23 to Interstate 35 exit #195.
- Richard J. Dorer Memorial Hardwood State Forest has two good options. Along Zumbro Bottoms Road off of state Highway 60 southwest of Wabasha. Along state Highway 16 between Interstate 90 and state Highway 26.
Visit www.mndnr.gov/stateforests for information about visiting a state forest and additional scenic routes. Entrance into a state forest is free. State forest campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis for $14 a night.
Visit the Minnesota state parks and trails Fall Color Finder at www.mndnr.gov/fall_colors to find areas in Minnesota with peak fall color. The Fall Color Finder is updated every Thursday through the end of October.

"Organic label is an excuse to charge more"
"Organic label is an excuse to charge more"
Harris Poll finds consumers are skeptical and less willing to pay for "green" goods.
by Dennis Halladay, Hoard's Dairyman Western Editor
It turns out that most U.S. consumers are smarter about food-buying choices than many people in agriculture may have thought.
The headline of a Harris Poll released April 15 confirmed a belief that many conventional farmers have held since organic eating splashed onto the Hollywood celebrity scene as a fashionable eating trend approximately a decade ago and then began to spread into regular households: "Majority of Americans see organic label as an excuse to charge more".
One question in the survey, which focused on environmental attitudes, "green" practices and buying choices in general, asked participants how much they agreed with this statement: "I think labeling food or other products as "organic" is just an excuse to charge more."
Fifty-nine percent agreed either strongly or somewhat. Six percent were not sure. This majority was bigger among men (63 percent) than women (54 percent), and among Republicans and Independents (65 and 58 percent, respectively) than among Democrats (54 percent).
Regionally, the organic = charge more impression was highest among survey participants in the Midwest and South (61 percent) and lowest among those in the West and East (54 and 57 percent, respectively).
In eight other questions, participants who said they have strong pro-green and pro-environmental attitudes were in the clear minority (18 to 38 percent), although those rates were the highest in the last three years.
Preferring and wanting environmentally friendly products isn't necessarily being backed up by their wallets, however. According to the poll, the percentage of survey participants who said they were not willing to pay extra for green products was 51 percent — the highest it has been since the question was first asked in 2009.
"What surprised us most was that while Americans are showing more concern for the environment, they aren't necessarily willing to pay more to do anything about it," said Mike de Vere, president of the Harris Poll.

Shinobido 2 Revenge of Zen has enough to satisfy any player that likes a game that is action packed, provides a storyline in which their actions determine the outcome, allows players to upgrade and develop new weapons, and lets players become a stealth master.
Super Gamer Dude
PS Vita
Shinobido 2 Revenge of Zen takes place 6 months after the events of the first game. Shinobido 2 allows players to act as Zen, a stealthy ninja assassin, who was betrayed by his companions and left for dead. He sets out on a perilous journey to restore the peace of Utakata and find those who wronged him. Shinobido 2 Revenge of Zen takes precedence over the first game because of its new gameplay options, adventurous storyline, and easy to use touch controls.
While playing Shinobido 2 Revenge of Zen, players can scale walls with an added grapple hook, jump across roof tops, stealthily attack enemies from behind, and sneak across various landscapes. Each button allows the user to have a very different experience with each skill, whether that is jumping, dashing, or crouching. Every skill is essential to help you with your missions. The missions are designed to not only move the story along, but players affect the game's military and war situation. With the Harakiri Engine, the game is constantly updating so that players feel the consequence of each choice they make. Since the players are allowed to choose the missions they want to complete, every player has a choice in their own destiny. Missions vary from rescuing villagers, stealing, transporting goods, assassinations, destroying the enemy, and more.
Featuring new gameplay options, players can use different skills to kill enemies. These skills include Assassination, which allows players to sneak up on enemies and kill them much quicker and easily, Chimatsuri Sappo, which kills your enemies in one single hit, Zankoku, freezes time and allows the player to kill their foe in one hit, or Fukurou, which allows the player to travel in the sky by flying. If the skills do not seem like they are enough, players also can make use of the tools that ninja assassins can use. Tools can be upgraded by using the Alchemy jar. There is always room for new tools too so be sure to experiment with the Alchemy jar.
The touch screen controls provides the players with new ways to spot enemies from far away by displaying a caution button on the screen when the player gets closer to a target. Players can even switch to a first person view for a better look at the target. By touching the tool management icon on the upper left corner, players can have a look at a map of the area they are in. The "near" functions serve as a way to expand the inventory of items. By placing items in the network jar, other players that are nearby can connect with your items and it will multiply the amount of those items, which is incredibly useful when going on missions.
Shinobido 2 Revenge of Zen has enough to satisfy any player that likes a game that is action packed, provides a storyline in which their actions determine the outcome, allows players to upgrade and develop new weapons, and lets players become a stealth master.

NIAGARA FALLS – If Jamaica were to establish a "Mount Reggaemore" to immortalize the founding forces behind its most famous musical form, there would most certainly be a place for the face of Frederick "Toots" Hibbert.
As the island nation celebrates 50 years of independence this year, Hibbert likewise marks a half-century as a recording artist with recent releases of a star-studded documentary, "Reggae Got Soul" and accompanying album "Unplugged on Strawberry Hill," and bringing his first acoustic live show to a reportedly sold-out but actually three-quarters full Seneca Niagara Bear's Den Showroom on Friday night– the second stop on a 20-city American tour backed by a light, four-piece version of his Maytals. The toasting was mutual between the legend and his adoring audience during an easy-skankin' evening that stretched well beyond the standard casino set time of 90 minutes, as a happy Hibbert proved beyond any doubt that at age 66, he's still got it – big time.
Hibbert's version of "it" infused slower American soul sounds into the excitable ska scene that exploded with Jamaica's independence, using his unmistakable voice – at once rough and smooth and strong, equally forceful and graceful – to speak simply from the standpoint of a street-level storyteller, finding fever-pitched fun in the trials and tribulations of everyday life.
His universal approach was established with the opening "Reggae Got Soul," sung with a smile beside splendidly blended harmonies from Chantelle Ernandez and Elenore Walters, as an airy bounce from son and bassist Hopeton Hibbert and original Maytals drummer Paul Douglas on understated percussion backed Toots' light thumb-strumming of an acoustic guitar.
"Pressure Drop" and "Do the Reggay" offered the first two tastes of the trend-transitioning ska-reggae beat, as more melodic bass lines began to steer over Toots' steadier strum on the two and four beats. The former found Toots singing simply of bad karma biting back while hitting the first heaven-high crowd call, sitting so far back from his microphone as to wonder if his town-crier voice needed it at all; the latter came with the story of his establishing the term "reggae" in 1968, a claim not necessarily disputed but definitely shared.
Toots did away with his apparently burdensome guitar to sing "Sweet and Dandy," overcoming by inciting crowd clapping and cupping his hands around his mouth for mountaintop projection. In other songs, though, most notably during the ballad "True Love is Hard to Find," his minimalist if not disinterested guitar playing left a longing for a dedicated guitarist.
Otherwise, the show was entirely brilliant. Toots told of John Denver requesting a reggae rewriting of "Country Roads" and got the crowd to sing along, revived his cover of "Louie, Louie," the Richard Berry-written classic about a lovestruck Jamaican sailor, and cracked the crowd up with the back story that made sense of the mischievous "Monkey Man."
His three encores made clear why Toots leads with his guitar, as he improvised tempos, rhythms and lyrics off-the-cuff around standards such as Otis Redding's "I've Got Dreams to Remember" and his ode to unjust jail time, "54-46 Was My Number," at times playfully puzzling his band and others openly stating in many ways that he wanted nothing more than to stay onstage and prolong the lovefest.
Clearly, there's plenty left in Toots' tank – long may the Maytals run.

SSL alert that you get [ Untrusted Connection ] is due to the fact that the server uses Open SSL certificate for SSL. Please note that Open SSL is used in the server side for your protection only. This does no harm to you. You can just ignore it and proceed further or you can install the certificate in your browser so that such an alert will not come in future.
Why such a certificate [ Open SSL ] is used in the first place ?
Many customers ask this question. Why should be undergo such minor irritation, why is that other hosting providers work fine with them without SSL itself ?
The answer is simple. Better Security. We force our users to use ssl while accessing cpanel/whm or webmail to make sure that their login details are safeguarded. Consider a situation where your system is infected with malware. When you login to whm or webmail, your login will be sent to the remote attacker and he can use that to deface all your websites. Now when SSL is enabled, even if your system is infected, it will encrypt your login details and hence the remote attacker cannot get your login details. In short, forcing SSL does more good than harm. Why other hosting providers do not do this, because, they leave your account security to you.
Is open ssl is safe ?
Absolutely, the ssl certificate we use is safe and provide the same or better security offered by any commercial certificate like thawte or verisign. But open ssl certificate do not provide domain verfication [ which is not required as every customer accesses control panel in their own name ] and hence they trigger an alert that it is untrusted etc.
What I do now ?
Just ignore it and then proceed further to access the control panel or if you want to avoid this for ever, If you are using Mozilla Firefox, follow as below
Click on I understand the risk>>Add exception>>get certificate>>Confirm security certificate.
