At Jefferson Lab where I work we used to have a fall festival and a highlight was pumpkin launching in all manner of apparatus designed by brilliant physicists and engineers!

I've heard that if you freeze a pumpkin in liquid nitrogen for long enough and then drop it off a building, it will glow as it breaks. The phenomenon is called triboluminesence. As a chemist, I have access to both pumpkins and liquid nitrogen, but I have never tried it. It's the same principle as wintergreen lifesavers. I'm guessing it has to be pretty dark to appreciate it.

I've seen triboluminescence and have long believed that it is a manifestation of the piezo electrical phenomenon. I'll bet that is the hell what it is.
Thanks for the salubrious dose of science.

NEW ORLEANS–Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum committed several acts of contrition today at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference when he apologized for conservatives' sins broadly, as well as one of his own offenses: endorsing Sen. Arlen Specter over former Rep. Pat Toomey during the 2004 Senate primary when Specter was still a member of the Republican Party.
In a Q&A session, Santorum was asked why he supported the centrist Specter over the more conservative Toomey—a question that prompted a standing ovation from a number of the 3,500 attendees. "During that time I prayed about it a lot," Santorum said, "What I've said repeatedly is that we all make mistakes, we all fail, we all fall."
Santorum explained that, as a well-known opponent of abortion rights, he was concerned about the Supreme Court vacancies that were coming up and he wanted to make sure the next justices opposed abortion rights.
In exchange for his endorsement, Santorum said he extracted a commitment from Specter—who supports abortion rights–to vote for whoever then-President George W. Bush nominated to the Court. "And we have Justice [John] Roberts and Justice [Samuel] Alito," Santorum said.
"You can question my judgment and you have every right to do so, but please don't question my intention to do what's right for those little babies," he said.
A spokesman for Specter's campaign did not immediately return a request for comment. Specter—who changed parties last year—is facing a primary challenge from Rep. Joe Sestak. If Specter survives the primary fight, he will again face off with Toomey, but this time in the general election.
In his earlier remarks Santorum, who was defeated by Democratic Sen. Bob Casey in 2006, offered a broader apology for the way Republicans governed when they controlled Congress.
"We let America down. I say that conservatism didn't fail America. Conservatives failed conservatism," he said.
UPDATE: In an interview, Specter strongly denied Santorum's account that Specter assured him that he would vote for Bush's Supreme Court nominees in exchange for Santorum's endorsement in the 2004 GOP primary. "I never made any promise to Sen. Santorum," Specter said, "I would never make a promise on a vote like that under any circumstances."

UPMC Hamot works to improve accessibility
Shona Eakin has learned that local hospitals sometimes have difficulty treating people who have disabilities.
As executive director of Erie's Voices for Independence, a nonprofit agency that helps people with disabilities, Eakin would get calls from clients at local hospitals who weren't receiving the basic daily services they got at home.
"There were times that if I knew someone who was in the hospital, I would have to ask the hospital staff to make sure to visit them during meals so they could help with their feeding," said Eakin, 44. "That way I knew their needs were being met."
Adamant that hospitals should be the most accessible places for those with disabilities, Eakin repeatedly reached out to then-Hamot Medical Center to suggest improvements.
Once Hamot affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in 2011, the hospital became more receptive to Eakin's suggestions and began implementing some of them.
"When their partnership was announced, I reached out to a person I knew at UPMC's Disability Resource Center," said Eakin, who has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. "UPMC has a history of working with the disability community, and they welcomed my input."
Eakin joined a newly created Erie Community Partnership and Diversity Committee in 2011. The 38-person committee works with Hamot to improve its accessibility and diversity.
Improvements made over the past two years include:
- Lowering a portion of the desk in the front lobby to accommodate people in wheelchairs.
"When a person in a wheelchair came into the lobby, they couldn't see our guest relations representative because the partition was so high," said Amy Bizzarro, Hamot's director of patient services. "We made a cutout and lowered the desk."
- Renovating and expanding several public restrooms on the hospital's ground and first floors.
"We made them larger and lowered the sinks to accommodate visitors in wheelchairs," Bizzarro said.
- Designing more accessible patient rooms. The first room recently opened, and 20 more are planned over the next five years.
"Each one will be twice the size of our old rooms, with room for a wheelchair to navigate," Bizzarro said. "They will include a wheelchair-accessible shower with a seat that comes down from the wall. The entryways are bigger, and there are no obstructions under the sink to get in the way of a wheelchair."
Patients also can request iPads when they are admitted to Hamot or arrive in the emergency department. The iPad includes applications that allow them to read hospital forms in a foreign language, with enlarged print, or even have them spoken aloud.
The iPads can also be used as a translator, helping patients who don't speak English communicate with nurses and doctors when someone isn't available to translate.
"We also have accessible call bells for people who can't push a traditional one to call a nurse," Bizzarro said. "Some you can blow into, others you can push with an elbow or cheek, or you can squeeze them."
Eakin said Hamot has come a long way in improving its accessibility since 2011, but it still has a way to go.
"There's still work to be done," Eakin said. "I also wish the other hospitals around here would do some of the same things Hamot has done and get our input."

An Easy, Healthier Cookie Perfect for Family Meals
(Credit: Brian W. Ferry)
We wish we could tell you that we raised our daughters to think of dessert the way one is supposed to: as a treat in the true definition of the word; something you get if you're lucky; part of a celebration, like ice cream after a hard-fought soccer game. But the sad truth is, our kids consider dessert–like water, shelter, and allowance–to be their birthright. It's at the point where our ten-year-old will finish dinner, walk to the pantry, and begin plunking sweets on the table: chocolate raisins, shortbread cookies, leftover Halloween candy. The question is not "Can I have dessert?" It's "How many can I have?"
We tell ourselves we're only partly to blame. Back when the girls were toddlers and picky eaters, we had no choice but to ignore all advice and go primal. We were desperate, forced to leverage dinner with something sweet: "Eat that chicken, and dessert is yours." To be honest, though, often the problem is the fact that we, the supposed grown-ups, have failed miserably in the leading-by-example department. The reason our kids think it's normal to celebrate "No cavities!" with a bowl of pudding is because…we do the same thing. We want to stop eating so much dessert, but those chocolate-covered almonds from Trader Joe's are so good. You know, the ones with the sea salt?
These icebox oatmeal raisin cookies are an attempt to establish some limits. The idea is to control the portion size on the front end–the full recipe makes about four dozen cookies, but we slice only as many from the frozen log as there are mouths to feed. Then into the toaster oven they go. As soon as dinner is over, four warm cookies await, ready to be savored with a glass of milk. Or crumbled atop a scoop of vanilla ice cream. But that's all. We swear. –Jenny Rosenstrach and Andy Ward

Chad Zallow began the 2014 indoor track season where he left off the 2013 outdoor season - on top of the hurdling world.
The defending Ohio High School Athletic Association Division III state champion in the 110- and 300-meter hurdles set a new mark on Saturday.
After the weekend tallies are accumulated, Zallow, a John F. Kennedy High School junior, will see his name atop the 60-meter dash on milesplit.com
His time in Saturday's Jerome Fields High School Open inside the Stile Fieldhouse on the University of Akron campus bumped Zallow to No. 1 in the nation.
He overtook Hoover (Ala.) High School senior Marlon Humphrey, who had a time of 7.92 seconds.
"I've been thinking about this day since my freshman year," said Zallow of his time of 7.84 seconds. "I've always wanted to be up there, No. 1. I'm finally here."
Zallow ran 7.98 in Saturday's prelims in Akron, but found an extra gear in the finals.
He beat Shaker Heights High School senior Rameses Owens in the 60 hurdles, who had the best 60 time in Ohio coming into Saturday's meet of 8.08 seconds.
Zallow said the competition in Saturday's race made him run that much faster.
"I knew I was going to run a good time," he said. "Definitely a PR (personal record). This is the first time doing the 60-meter hurdles since last year.
"I know I got a lot of work in during the offseason. I was feeling good. I was feeling fresh. I knew I was going to run a good time, but not that good."
With Saturday's time, Zallow is invited to this year's New Balance Nationals Indoor at The New Balance Track and Field Center at The Armory in New York City.
"It's exciting," Zallow said. "I definitely want to go out there and compete against some bigger competition across the country. It's going to be interesting to see how I do there."
In addition to the whopping time in the 60 hurdles, Zallow set a personal best to win the 200-meter dash in a time of 22.06. Last year, he was clocking 22.4 in the same event.
"I got a good feeling where I'm at and for the season," Zallow said.
There's still a little less than two months left of the indoor track season. The Ohio Association of Track and Cross Country Coaches state meet in March 8 at the Stile Fieldhouse.
Zallow said he'll not push as hard the rest of the season en route to defending his 60 hurdle title.
"I definitely don't want to peak too early," he said. "Next meet, I'll probably have to go a little easier. At the same time, I still want to run those times consistently."

You don't expect to find your new favorite food at a bookstore ... in South Buffalo.
But the tantalizing aroma of freshly cooked bacon was impossible to ignore inside the Dog Ears Bookstore and Cafe. It was, I later learned, no ordinary bacon – delicious enough as that may be – but "pecanwood smoked bacon" and thus, had to be tasted.
The Dubliner ($7), a BLT with just enough of a spin as to not scare off unadventurous eaters like myself, seemed the only choice then. It's one of the cafe's 10 sandwiches/wraps with literary names like the Alexander Dumas, the Villa Incognito and Louis Lamour Panini.
But first, a bit about Dog Ears. It opened about five years ago as a community-minded not-for-profit business with profits from the bookstore and cafe helping to fund the Enlightenment Literary Arts Center on the building's second floor. The cafe was formerly the Caz Coffee Shop and was reopened earlier this year after the space was renovated. The removal of the cafe's back wall has opened the space; now you can see a seating area with two large tables, a small bar with three stools and a quaint spiral staircase that has quotes printed on the steps.
Walk in from Abbott Road to the counter where you'll place your order and pay. Tables and chairs are scattered throughout the first floor including a side room with bookcases and the back area. Pick your spot or browse the books and the friendly staff will bring your food to you.
The menu isn't large, but there's more than enough. There are those sandwiches, including the Walden ($6.25) with grilled portobello mushrooms, artichoke hearts, zucchini and red bell peppers with field greens and stone ground Dijon and honey dressing or sun-dried tomato pesto; the Rachel Carson Wrap ($6). a whole wheat wrap with homemade hummus, grilled asparagus, tomato and cucumber slices with field greens; and the Hemingway Panini ($7) with turkey, ham, Swiss cheese, dill pickle slices and honey Dijon on a ciabatta roll. Can't choose? Try the Writer's Block ($7 whole, $3.50 half) and design your own sandwich, hot or cold. Pick from roast beef, bacon, ham or turkey; then add cheese (sharp cheddar, Swiss, jalapeño jack or blue); pick a bread (wheat, white or rye, whole wheat wrap or a ciabatta roll), plus condiments. Sandwiches are served with a side of green salad.
The menu also features a soup du jour, two salads, breakfast items and light fare such as a seasonal fresh fruit cup ($3) and homemade desserts including scones ($1.25), jumbo muffins ($2) and yogurt parfaits ($4). Nothing is more than $7.50. Coffee, hot chocolate (made with fresh milk and drizzled with chocolate syrup), cappuccinos, lattes, espresso, chai latte and smoothies are among the drinks.
The Dubliner was as delicious as the bacon's aroma. The sandwich was filling with thick, well-cooked slabs of the bacon, roasted tomatoes, a mound of fresh spinach, thin slices of Dubliner Irish Cheese (a sort of aged cheddar, as it was explained) and mayo.
The Leaves of Grass Panini ($6) was a blend of artichoke hearts, zucchini and fresh baby spinach on whole wheat with a layer of basil and roasted garlic cream cheese (tasty, not overpowering). For $1.50, thin strips of chicken were added. The vegetables, slightly warmed from the panini press, provided a slight crispness and texture to the sandwich.
Breakfast can be ordered at any time so we took advantage. Maple Walnut Stuffed French Toast ($7.50) came as two large slices of egg-dipped bread, nicely grilled. A cream cheese mixture of maple syrup and chopped walnuts was stuffed between the bread. It was topped with fresh berries, strawberries on this day. Served with a side of that yummy bacon, it also was surprisingly filling – a theme to the food here.

|Hiding your smile because of your gums?
Ever see a person smile and see more gums than teeth? That condition is called a gummy smile. Often times, the gum tissue partially hides the upper teeth.
Many times, more gum tissue than teeth is seen when smiling or laughing. In the perfect smile, the upper lip sits just above the top of the teeth. But for people with a high lip line, too much of their upper gum is revealed, creating the gummy smile.
The unflattering appearance of highly visible gums causes many people with a high lip line to avoid smiling or place their hand over their mouth when they smile, laugh or train their facial muscles to limit their smile. Usually, there is no physical health effect from a gummy smile, but there can be a psychological affect. Many of my patients say that they never smile because of the look of their gummy smile. They are self-conscious about their smile and it can affect their personality and self-confidence.
The good news is a gummy smile can be easily corrected. What a wonderful change for a person after a smile makeover.
Gummy smile makeover
A few years ago I treated a successful, 32-year-old businesswomen to whom smiling did not come naturally. She had a gummy smile. In grade school, she was the victim of cruel taunting from her classmates. She tried to ignore their remarks about her "short" teeth, but their words deeply hurt her. By the time she began middle school, she was so withdrawn and shy that her teacher suggested that she talk to the school counselor. Eventually, she learned to smile without parting her lips. Whenever she laughed, she would always cover her mouth to avoid embarrassment.
Today, however, that is all behind her. She knew she needed to correct Mother Nature's mistake. She felt an engaging smile was critical to her work success. After a smile design and gum sculpturing, she has a full radiant natural smile that she always wanted. No more excess gum tissue covering the tops of her teeth. She feels her new self-confident smile has made her a greater success in life and work. She confided in me that it was the best thing that she has ever done for her business. Establishing immediate rapport with a winning smile is so vital in building relationships.
Studies have shown that 93 percent of communication between people is non-verbal. Only 7 percent of what people react to is the content of what is being said. What is most important is the person's body language and facial expression. A beautiful positive smile helps make people listen to you and respond in a positive way.
What can be done?
Gummy smile can be corrected in various ways, depending on the severity. If only small amounts of gum tissue need adjusting, then a soft tissue laser can be used to contour the gums to a pleasant smile line level. If greater levels of gum tissue need contouring, then surgical sculpting is needed. In many cases the gummy smile can be corrected with orthodontics. In all cases, a smile design workup is necessary to determine the best treatment.
A soft tissue laser is a new technology that is used to sculpt gums and soft tissue around the teeth. Light emitted from the laser removes the excess gum tissue, cutting at the cellular level, only the width of the wavelength of light. The cut is so fine, there is no bleeding and often no discomfort. Such fine control with the laser allows predictable shaping of the gums. Using a soft tissue laser is a quick procedure that also results in fast, excellent healing.
In more severe gummy cases, bone recontouring is necessary to allow the ideal shaping of the gums. A gum specialist, called a periodontist, usually does this procedure after a smile design by the cosmetic dentist.
Though the gums are often sculpted for cosmetic reasons, the procedure is important for health reasons as well. Perhaps the tooth has a large decayed area below the gum. The laser can be used to contour the gum to allow access for the decay removal and shaping of the gums to allow better cleaning when brushing and flossing. This procedure is called a gingivectomy, the Latin word for gum removal.
If a tooth fractures at the gum line, there is not enough remaining tooth for a crown to grip firmly. The crown needs to be extended below the gum. The gum tissue can be decreased in a procedure called crown lengthening or tooth lengthening. Once the gum tissue is removed and the gum heals, a permanent crown can be fabricated.
Dentistry has come a long way. When I started practice in Rohnert Park in 1985, silver/mercury fillings were the norm. (I have not done one in more than 20 years.) Cosmetic dentistry was for movie stars, and they had to have all their teeth ground down for crowns. Now, with modern technology, with the likes of the laser, all things are possible from smile design makeovers using braces, bonding, veneers, crowns and implants. And with sedation dentistry, it can even all be done while comfortably asleep. Gummy smile is one of many aspects of dentistry that was not even talked about 20 years ago and can now be easily corrected.
Frown and you frown alone, but smile and the whole world smiles with you.
Enjoy life and keep smiling.

The procedures of the Drawing Offices will comply with the requirements of the approved Project Quality manual of UEI.
Material Proposals
Place of Manufacture
The manufacture of the approved equipment & materials will primarily take place at manufacturers works.
The procurement of various electromechanical equipment will take place in accordance with the quality procedures, which are independently audited. This will ensure that only materials suitable for purpose will be delivered to site.
Packing and Delivery
After factory tests the equipment will be disassembled if necessary for shipment and shall be suitably packed at the manufacturers' works for shipment to site. Delivery to Doha shall be generally by sea freight packed in standard 20ft or 40ft containers with special containers as appropriate. Any oversize, heavy lift items will be shipped break bulk. Cables will be shipped on cable drums in sizes and weights such that they are economical for shipping. From Doha port the plant shall be transported to site by road. The equipment will not be reassembled until it is positioned in its final location.
Manufacturing and Delivery Periods
The manufacturing and delivery periods for the major items of plant will be indicated
in the Tender Program to suit the access date and power-
Site Storage
To minimize the storage of equipment at the works area, deliveries will be planned to coincide with the construction sequence. Wherever possibly, equipment will be delivered to its ultimate location direct from the ship. Equipment will be packed such that it can be left unopened in the works area for a limited period should it be necessary.
Delivery to Site
Planning and Co-
At the programming stage, access dates for the delivery routes and the installation sites shall be clarified with Authorities and designated contractors. This is particularly important for equipment, which will be delivered directly to site from the port.
Progress meetings & regular site visits will be required to update the information about the site progress and to coordinate access and other requirements.
Suitability of area prior to delivery of materials
Prior to delivery, all arrangements which have been previously agreed with others will be checked so that.
Delivery Methods
Delivery by Road
All equipment and materials will be delivered by lorry either directly to the installation site or to the works area. Normally, a lorry equipped with hydraulic crane will be used, but for heavy lifts, a separate mobile crane will offload the equipment. The equipment will usually be delivered with the shipping packing intact for protection during transit.
All cranes, lifting pulley blocks and slings will be fully tested and certified and visually checked each time. All materials will be properly secured on the lorries.
Movement from point of offloading to final location will be done by the use of lift trucks or skids, as appropriate, along the designated delivery routes.
Installation Proposals
The installation will be carried out under the control of the respective Project Manager. Installation specialists from certain manufacturers will also be utilized. Our installation methodology is set out below.
Planning and Coordination
During the planning stage, all relevant information about the assembly methods of the equipment will be examined to check the requirement for special tools as well as site requirement in terms of floor leveling, floor fixing methods and clearance. Detailed method statements will be prepared and agreed prior to any installation commencing. These method statements will clearly identify the proper sequence of working; highlight any safety risks and the action to be taken to mitigate these risks.
Interfaces with Designated Contractors will be identified and recorded.
The works program will be developed to indicate that the works can be installed within the time restraints of the project.
Site Possession
Prior to installation work commencing, a joint site survey with the Main Contractor will take place to ensure that the area is suitable for work to commence.
Generally all installation works are carried out concurrently with other building trade contractors and UEI will fully coordinate with them to avoid abortive work.
Other contractors would have to take the consent of the supervisor of UEI team if they need to access the area where currently work would be in progress. Also they would have to arrange all necessary protection to UEI work done in that area.
All work will be installed in accordance with the agreed method statements and monitored by the Project quality plan to ensure the quality of installation.
Particular points relating to specific elements of the works are given below:
Main Equipment e.g. Transformers, DG sets, Chillers, AHUs, LV Panels, etc.
During the design development stage, physical sizes of all equipment will be thoroughly checked with the room sizes, requirements of designated contractors and maintenance clearances.
Prior to commencing the installation, the room must be complete, dry and dust free with lockable doors fixed. The floors must be leveled to within the manufacturer's tolerances.
The installation method will generally be in accordance with the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer and agreed in the method statement. Most equipment will be sectionalized to ease shipment and will be reassembled on site. Leveling is the prime activity for switchgear erection. All panels will only be tightly coupled after the level is checked. Temporary protection will be attached on the instrument surfaces until testing and commissioning. Tapes to minimize migration of dust will temporarily seal all vent holes on the panel surfaces.
Cable routes will be designed so that account is taken of bending radii, separation and segregation of the cables to be installed. A thorough review of cable containment provided by Designated Contractors will be undertaken during the design phase.
For programming, the cabling exercise will be properly planned so that the cable will be laid in the most economical manner in each location.
Prior to installation, all containment will be checked thoroughly to ensure that it has been installed to the working drawings. Before any cable is pulled the entire route will be checked to be sure that there are no obstructions alone the route.
Inside the buildings, the cables will generally be pulled by hand from the drums
(mounted on cable jacks) onto the pre-
Cables running in external trenches will generally be installed using cable winches. The cable will be transferred immediately to the duct or onto hangers and cleated.
All cable cuts will be sealed with proper end caps provided by the cable manufacturer.
Testing and Commissioning Plan
Inspection and test plans will be prepared and agreed in advance of any testing. These will identify what tests or inspections are required, when they have to be performed and what records have to be kept. The tests will basically follow the test requirement stipulated in the tender document. The testing and inspection will be generally performed at 3 stages: inspection at receipt and unpacking of equipment; testing and inspection of the equipment
at completion of assembly; testing and inspection at completion of connection and prior to commissioning.
All tests and inspections will be coordinated with the Authority in advance for arrangement of witnesses and certification.
All energized equipment will be controlled via a permit system, which will be strictly enforced. Permanent locked doors will be required on plant rooms before energizing any equipment.
On site training shall be provided for the Authority personnel as set out in the specification. Discipline wise details pertaining to the scope of training shall be forwarded for approval.

In the '70s,
Roy Clark
symbolized country music in the U.S. and abroad. Between guest-hosting for
Johnny Carson
on The Tonight Show and performing to packed houses in the Soviet Union on a tour that sold out all 18 concerts, he used his musical talent and his entertaining personality to bring country music into homes across the world. As one of the hosts of TV's Hee Haw (
Buck Owens
was the other) for more than 20 years,
picked and sang and offered country corn to 30 million people weekly. He is first and foremost an entertainer, drawing crowds at venues as different as Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and the Opry. His middle-of-the-road approach has filled a national void, with
offering country that was harder-edged than
Kenny Rogers
but softer and more accessible than
Waylon Jennings
. Among his numerous vocal hits are "Yesterday, When I Was Young" and "Thank God and Greyhound." Instrumentally he has won awards, for both guitar and banjo.
has also co-starred on the silver screen with
Mel Tillis
, in the comedy Uphill All the Way.
The son of two amateur musicians,
Roy Clark
began playing banjo, guitar, and mandolin at an early age. By the time he was 14, he was playing guitar behind his father at local dances. Within a few years, he had won two National Banjo Championships, with his second win earning him an appearance at the Grand Ole Opry. Despite his success as a musician,
decided to pursue an athletic career, rejecting baseball for boxing. At the age of 17, he won 15 fights in a row before deciding that he would rather be a musician than a fighter.
found work at local clubs, radio stations, and television shows. By 1955, he was a regular on
Jimmy Dean
's D.C.-based television show, Country Style. Once
left Washington for New York,
took over the show, and over the next few years he earned a reputation as an excellent musician and entertainer. In 1960, he decided to leave the East Coast to pursue his fame and fortune out West. That year, he became the leader of
Wanda Jackson
's band, playing on her hit singles like "Let's Have a Party," as well as touring with the singer and playing concerts with her in Las Vegas. Once
decided to break up her band,
continued to play regularly at the Frontier Hotel in Vegas and through his new manager,
's ex-manager Jim Halsey, he landed spots on The Tonight Show and the sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies, where he played both Cousin Roy and Big Mama Halsey.
In 1963,
signed to Capitol Records, and his first single for the label, "Tips of My Fingers," became a Top Ten hit. Over the next two years, he had a handful of minor hits for Capitol before he switched labels, signing with Dot in 1968. At Dot, his career took off again, through covers of pop songs like
Charles Aznavour
's "Yesterday, When I Was Young" (number nine, 1969). However, what really turned
's career around was not records, but rather a television show called Hee Haw. Conceived as a country version of Laugh-In, Hee Haw began its run in 1969 on CBS.
Roy Clark
and Bakersfield country pioneer
Buck Owens
were picked as co-hosts. Over the next two years, it was one of the most popular shows on television. In 1971, CBS dropped the show because its corny country humor didn't fit the network's new, urban image, but Hee Haw quickly moved into syndication, where it continued to thrive throughout the decade.
While Hee Haw was at the height of its popularity,
had a string of country hits that ranged from Top Ten singles like "I Never Picked Cotton" (1970), "Thank God and Greyhound" (1970), "The Lawrence Welk -- Hee Haw Counter-Revolution Polka" (1972), "Come Live With Me" (1973), "Somewhere Between Love and Tomorrow" (1973), "Honeymoon Feelin'" (1974), and "If I Had It to Do All Over Again" (1976) to a multitude of minor hits. Though he didn't consistently top the country charts,
became one of the most recognizable faces in country music, appearing on television commercials, Hee Haw, and touring not only the United States but a number of other countries, including a groundbreaking sojourn to the Soviet Union in 1976. Frequently, he played concerts and recorded albums with a wide variety of musicians from other genres, including
the Boston Pops Orchestra
Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown
In 1979, the momentum of his career began to slow down, as he left his longtime label ABC/Dot for MCA. Over the next two years, he had a number of minor hits before leaving the label. He recorded one inspirational album for Songbird in 1981 before signing to Churchill in 1982. Hee Haw's audience was beginning to decline in the early '80s, but
diversified his interests by investing in property, minor-league baseball teams, cattle, publishing, and advertising. None of
's recordings for Churchill were big hits, and his brief stays at Silver Dollar in 1986 and Hallmark in 1989 also resulted in no hits. Nevertheless,
had become a country icon by the mid-'80s, so his lack of sales didn't matter -- he continued to sell out concerts and win awards; he even made the comedy Western Uphill All the Way in 1986 with
Mel Tillis
. In 1987, he was belatedly made a member of the Grand Ole Opry. During the '90s,
concentrated on performing at his theater in Branson, MO, sporadically releasing re-recordings of his big hits on a variety of small labels, though 2000's
Live at Billy Bob's Texas
marked his first live release in nearly a decade.
Christmas Memories
followed that same year. 2005 saw the release of two albums, Hymns from the Old Country Church on Wonder Disc and Bluegrass: It's About Time, It's About Me, a collection of his bluegrass-oriented tracks, on Varese.

Katie Couric Dishes on the Most Memorable Moments—Chosen by Readers of People.com—from Her 15-year Reign on Today
As the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, unfolded, Couric and the Today show crew stayed on the air for an extra three hours to cover the breaking news.
That was one of the most shocking days of my life. I looked up at the TV monitor and saw CNN was airing a picture of the World Trade Center on fire. I thought [a pilot] had had a heart attack on a private plane and crashed into the tower. Only when I watched the second plane crash did I realize it was a terrorist plot. Irrationally, I thought, "At least it's before 9 a.m. and people aren't at work yet." But they were. I think it was my way of dealing with it. My hands were shaking like a leaf. Later, I was interviewing [NBC News chief Pentagon correspondent] Jim Miklaszewski, and he said there had been a big explosion at the Pentagon, and I thought, "What a weird coincidence." My children were in school and I felt that was a safe place, but my parents live near the Pentagon, so I called during a commercial and told them to go to the basement. And it was so terrifying when we heard about [Flight 93] in Shanksville, Penn. I literally thought the world was coming to an end. I was horrified, but I also knew that people were depending on me to tell them what was going on. I just tried to deliver the information in a calm, cohesive way.
Two days after the April 20, 1999, shooting spree at Columbine High School, Couric interviewed Michael Shoels, who had lost his 18-year-old son Isaiah, and Craig Scott, then 16, who had lost his sister Rachel, 17.
That was by far one of my most memorable interviews. The scene was so surreal because there was a late-spring snowfall against a pitch-black sky, and they were two very shell-shocked people. Craig had to play dead and watched his friends [including Isaiah] get shot, and he later found out his sister Rachel had been killed. Can you imagine? They were two incredibly damaged souls, and it was one of the most poignant 15 minutes of television I've ever experienced.
After the 2002 kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart from her parents' Salt Lake City home, Couric landed the first interview with the 15-year-old six months after her rescue on March 12, 2003.
Like so many Americans, I lived through the horror of that story. I was really nervous about seeing Elizabeth because I didn't want to exacerbate any trauma she had already experienced. It was a hard balance of wanting to ask her good questions but also being respectful of her privacy and healing. At this point in my career, when it comes to people who have gone through suffering, their well-being is more important to me than getting the interview.
On Feb. 24, 1998, Couric returned to Today, after taking about a month off to mourn the death of her husband, Jay Monahan.
My husband Jay's death [from colon cancer in 1998] made me aware of how many people are in pain and how many people are suffering every day. And, conversely, how grateful we all have to be when the people you love are healthy, because experiencing the opposite is an alternate universe. If I was able to be inspiring by getting up every morning, facing the world and trying to find joy in life, I feel so grateful to have been able to do that for someone.
After her husband's death, Couric helped raise awareness about colon cancer by having an on-camera colonoscopy that aired on March 7, 2000.
I was nervous! I'm not a big fan of needles, so that wasn't thrilling. But the segment had the potential to save lives. I think many more people have been screened because seeing how easy it was removed the mystique. My colon cancer work is by far my proudest professional accomplishment. To [hear] I've impacted people in a way that contributes to them living longer, healthier lives is incredible. Some people have sent me photos of their colons! Now that's what I call over-share!
During the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Couric gave co-anchor Matt Lauer a less-than-smooth ride on a snowmobile.
In retrospect, that was hilarious, but at the time, it was a little scary to say the least! I couldn't really drive the snowmobile and I kept hitting the throttle when I meant to hit the brake! There were some pretty close calls, but we survived. Matt was slightly unnerved and told me all he could think about was how they would tell his wife and son if something terrible had happened.
Over the years, Couric had a series of memorable misadventures during Today's cooking segments.
Once I had to swing a bag of lettuce around to dry it, but I didn't realize the bag wasn't closed. I swung it around and pieces of lettuce went flying everywhere. Cooking is not necessarily my strong suit.
And then there was the time when one chef cut a live lobster in half on-air.
That was pretty awful. I had no idea the chef would do that and given the camera shot was right over the skillet I would say it was clearly unappetizing. I still eat lobster, though.
Couric and co. always went all-out during Today's annual Halloween celebration.
We all dread Halloween in the days leading up to it, but we end up having a great time. When I dressed up as Peter Pan [in 1999], flying over the audience was really fun. I got to practice flying around Rockefeller Plaza the day before, but I didn't rehearse with the understanding that people would be there the next day. So that's why I [accidentally] slapped some guy in the head with my slipper on the day of the show. And the year I was Donald Trump [in 2004], I knew he was going to come by the show. I happen to love the guy, but the most dangerous place in the world is between Donald Trump and the camera.
Couric made an impression by not only being willing to experiment with hairstyles but also by often revealing how her mother felt about her new looks.
I can't believe some of the photos from the past. There's a method to my hair madness which is: I went lighter as I got grayer because you don't have to dye it as often. I'm actually pretty gray. My best look? I don't know. Clearly not the time I cut my hair like Winona Ryder—one inch all over the place—that was really bad. I think my hair looks better when it's sort of to my shoulders but not too long. Every time it gets too long, my mom calls me and says, "You really need a haircut." She keeps my hair in line. And she'll say, "That outfit you were wearing? Was it supposed to look all wrinkled?"

Foreigners say Clinton irreparably damaged
The Associated Press
LONDON (AP) - Outside of America, the possibility that President Clinton could be impeached was greeted Thursday with huge headlines, TV phone-ins, and fears that - whatever happens - the authority of the world's most powerful leader has been fundamentally compromised.
Only a minority of nations with weighty domestic matters on their minds more or less ignored the turbulence in Washington.
In Russia, where President Boris Yeltsin tussled with political turmoil, the Clinton crisis, the presidential apologies, the delivery to Congress of 38 boxes of impeachment material didn't even make most newswires.
Italians, too, were distracted by the death of a top romantic singer, Lucio Battisti, 55, although "Sexgate," as the Italians call it, did make a few front pages. "Sexgate, Last Act," announced the Turin daily, La Stampa.
Elsewhere, there was a sense of almost disbelief that Clinton's sexual relationships and attempts to cover them up should have so weakened what many see as a politically successful president.
London's Financial Times headlined its commentary, "The indignity of it all."
"A few weeks ago there was no enthusiasm in Congress and the wider political establishment for the dread process of impeachment," said the respected business daily. "But today, even if not a likelihood, it has become a political possibility thanks to the president's mishandling of his explanation."
Or as Haaretz, a liberal Israeli daily put it, "The eyes see what the brain refuses to believe."
"William Jefferson Clinton, whom the Americans consider to be one of the most successful leaders they have had in decades, is likely to be the first of 42 U.S. presidents to be ousted from office," it added.
But commentators saw a president irreparably damaged. The Daily Telegraph, a conservative British daily, said the big problem now was not if Clinton goes, but if he stays.
"He cannot credibly continue when he obstructs justice and tells untruths to the courts," the newspaper said in an editorial. "His charm and theatrical abilities may see him through for a bit longer but it is, sadly, to no purpose. He cannot save himself, he can only degrade his office further."

Insider: Magic-Pacers Preview
The first round series between the Orlando Magic and Indiana Pacers will get underway Saturday at 7:00 pm EST at Banker's Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.

eFG% - Effective Field Goal Percentage
TS% - True Shooting Percentage
DRtg ? Defensive Rating
ORR ? Offensive Rebound Rate
TRR ? Total Rebound Rate
The first thing that sticks out to you about the Pacers is their height. Their starting lineup comes in at 7'2, 6'9, 6'9, 6'8 and 6'2.
"Their size is just a major challenge for us," Magic Head Coach Stan Van Gundy said. "Clearly we're not loaded with size right now and they are."
Plus, the Pacers don't just have a rather large starting lineup, they have excellent depth.
"Going from Hibbert to David West and then Amundson and Hansbrough off the bench and their wing guys are both 6'9, their starting wings," Van Gundy explained. "Their size is a major issue."
Due to that the size, the Pacers have been one of the better defensive teams in the league, ranking ninth in defensive efficiency.
"They're also very, very difficult to score on," said Van Gundy. "A lot of it's because of that size so we've got some major challenge particularly as small as we are right now."
Without, Orlando's front line features a rather a slender 6'10 Ryan Anderson at Power Forward and a gimpy, undersized 6'9 Glen Davis at Center. Behind them, there isn't a whole lot of depth - Earl Clark is 6'10 but weighs in at just 225 pounds and although second-year man Daniel Orton has some size, you can't expect him to provide much in the postseason.
That means the health and performance of Hedo Turkgolu is going to be key. After missing 10 straight games, Turkoglu return in the season finale and scored a team-high 18 points. The Magic will clearly need Turkoglu to make plays on offense, but they're also going to need his 6'10 frame to defend Indiana's wings. Danny Granger led the Pacers in scoring, averaging 18.7 points per game this season. Granger and Paul George (12.1 points per game) should frequently attack the basket because they shouldn't have a lot of trouble getting to the rim.
Defending Roy Hibbert down low is going to be a tall task. Hibbert, like every other big man in the league, has trouble against Howard, but with Howard of the lineup, Hibbert has a huge size advantage. Plus, Glen Davis likely won't be 100% after spraining his ankle Wednesday. Hibbert, an All-Star this season, averaged 12.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and shot 49.7% from the field.
The Pacers showed some improvement last season, sneaking into the playoffs as the eighth seed and putting a scare into the top-seeded Chicago Bulls. This season, they've showed great improvement.
"The addition of David west, huge addition," Van Gundy told reporters. "Then the addition of George Hill and the mid-season addition of Leandro Barbosa."
Van Gundy also pointed out the acquisition big man Louis Amundson, who has averaged 3.6 points and 3.7 rebounds per game for the Pacers this season.
Hill has 9.6 points per game this season while Barbosa has averaged 8.9 points per game off of the bench.
"The personal moves that they made have been great," Van Gundy added.
Hill has replaced Darren Collison as the starting point guard and it's given both the first and second unit a lift. Collison's speed and quickness is going to be awfully difficult for Chris Duhon to defend.
With Amundson, Tyler Hansbrough (9.3 ppg, 4.4 rpg), Collison, Barbosa and Dahntay Jones (5.3 ppg)? in Indiana's second unit, Orlando is going to have to keep their starters on the court as much as possible, because Orlando's bench can't match up with Indiana's at all.
If the Magic are going to have any chance in this series, they're going to have to go off from beyond the arc and although that's not entirely impossible, it certainly isn't likely. The Magic will need their screeners to be excellent and hope Nelson and Turkoglu can really beat Indiana on the pick-and-roll.
Ryan Anderson, who's an excellent rebounder,?along with Davis, are really going to have to attack the glass and make sure the Magic aren't completely dominated by the much bigger Pacers on the boards. Anderson is probably going to have to do a little more work inside, which is something he's shown improvement with lately.
Jameer Nelson is going to have to be fantastic in so many different facets, especially keeping the team calm and organized as their leader and captain.
Prediction: Pacers in five.

Best Car EVER
by Olds Reliable from Michigan | February 18, 2014
I have a 1993 Olds Cutlass Ciera. My Mom and Dad gave me this car in 1998 after they toured the country with it. At that time the car had 133,000 miles on it. Nothing wrong, my Mom just wanted a new car. I have driven this car ever since. I have 327,340.3 miles on the car. The rust from the winters here in Michigan and all the salt use have taken it's toll on the body and frame. The engine and trans are still great. I still get 30mpg, and does not burn oil at all. The best car in the snow also. I have snow tires on the car, and will drive through 12" no problem. I love this car. Very dependable.

Great First Car
by Rev the Coconut from Akron, OH | August 11, 2007
Great car! The exterior isn't the greatest looking, but the car is definitely worth the money. V6 offers a lot of power. Very safe - my car withstood everything I threw at it without more than a scratch, as a new driver. Even though it has a larger engine, it's quite good on gas. The car also has a ton of room to drive around friends. I would certainly recommend this car to anyone who is a safety conscious parent.

Great little car
by Jeep Girl from Bel Air, Md | July 21, 2006
I have a 1995 cutlass and its my second car but its great and has had no major problems, family friend was only previous owner whos had it since it was new and says the same! Routine matenince, oil changes and such, and its been going steady still! It gets around 20pmg for me, but steady on the highway its much better, i made a 3 hour ride over 150 mile on highway and used less than a half tank of gas! It handles good in most weather. As any vehicle its a little iffy in the snow. Overall i give it an A+, im a jeep girl at heart but im keeping my olds till it dies!

Best way to detox your body is to treat it with respect.
Buy your own groceries and make real food, no excuses
I'm visiting my sister for a week during X-mas break (MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE ZOMGGG!!!!!! )
Anyways, she ALWAYS eats out, I mean ALWAYS. It's nuts, she goes to sushi-bars one day, fancy restaurants the next, sandwich pubs following, so of-course, I'm forced to eat out too.
I don't really want to invade and ask her to buy me a bunch of groceries during my visit, so I'm going to have to f*** up my diet for about a week.
Is there any way to "detox" your body. I'm not worried about not being able to get back on the diet, I'm committed, I'm just wondering what you can do to help your body "recover" persay. Thanks guys!!
Best way to detox your body is to treat it with respect.
Buy your own groceries and make real food, no excuses
Everything is bad for something - How do you feel today?
Just enjoy the time with your sister, minimise the bad food choices when you're out and get back to your regular diet afterwards. The body is resilient and will bounce back after a few days or so. There is no quick fix or magic solution, but dont stress about it.
I've read some related wisdom on these boards that I'll be trying out over the next day or two. Here's my plan:
1) Don't stress too much over food during this time. Make primal choices when you can, and don't worry when you can't. The point is to spend time with your sister, not to plant a flag in the middle of her kitchen. Seems like you're going strong on this one.
2) If possible, work out before you go out to eat. You can find plenty of quick, HIIT bodyweight routines online that you can bang out in 10-20 minutes, quick shower and you're ready to go.
3) Fast afterward. Doesn't have to be too hardcore, maybe just skip breakfast. I have family in town that's leaving tomorrow, so I may just see if I can pull of my first 24 hour fast at that point.
4) Do what you can to sleep well and enough. This is where I'm really falling down this holiday. :-\
5) Get back into a routine as soon as you're back home, to include workouts in addition to good food choices.
Good luck, and most importantly - have fun with your sister!
Yeah, don't stress out too much and make the best food choice you can when you go out to eat, get sashimi instead of sushi, get a salad without toppings and dressing on the side, etc.
F 28/5'4/100 lbs
"I'm not a psychopath, I'm a high-functioning sociopath; do your research."
All good advice above. The only thing I would add is that eating out doesn't necessarily mean you have to eat poor food. Most places have salads, steaks, grilled fish, etc. You can stay very primal if you choose to do so! But, either way, enjoy yourself and spending time with your sister!
Just start eating primal again when your done. Its not rocket science.
Make it worth it. If you are going to eat non-primal, love it. I've been off the wagon the past few days- mainly cookies.... but they are awesome home made with love cookies. If you go out and the pizza looks amazing, and you want it, have it. If it looks like crappy pizza, get a salad.
I try to never eat non-primal foods that are not fantastically awesome.
And as you are able, eat primal foods while you are out. Nothing wrong with that!
My bounce back plan is that all the junk food hits the trash tomorrow, then I start a Whole 30 January 2nd. If I were you, when you get back from your trip, go stock the fridge with your favorite meats, veggies and fruits.
Check out my blog. Hope to share lots of great recipes and ideas!
Drink plenty of water, both while you are eating 'off your plan' and when you are getting back to normal.

By Duane Pemberton
There's a new gadget on the market from Coravin that allows wine lovers to enjoy their wines without pulling the cork. The idea behind it is that you don't have to worry about over-oxidized wine if you're the type who nurse a bottle for a few days. Its ideal market segment should be for restaurants and wine collectors who want to sample wines from older bottles but don't want to open them. But it won't be cheap, priced at $299.00 it won't be for everyone.
Coravin's "Wine Access System", claims that the thin, hollow needle it uses to penetrate into the cork is so thin, that the cork reseals itself after you remove it.
Before the wine is poured, the system also pressurizes the bottle with argon gas and then starts to let the wine pour into your glass.
"As a winemaker myself, I was very protective of the delicate nature of wine and took special care with the by-the-glass offerings at each of my restaurants," said Joe Bastianich, American restaurateur, winemaker, and Coravin investor, well known for his role as a judge on FOX's "Master Chef." "Once I tried wine accessed six months prior with Coravin and tasted no difference, I knew this was a game changer. I now provide wine samples and glass selections from dozens of vintages and wines that we have never been able to offer, without any compromise in wine quality or waste. This product is nothing short of amazing for both restaurateurs and wine lovers alike."
Robert Parker said: "the most transformational and exciting new product for wine lovers that has been developed or invented in the last 30-plus years."
Parker, who is largely considered one of the world's leading authorities on wine, recently posted a series of videos about the Coravin System based on his own personal testing of the system on the erobertparker.com site.

All about She She Pop
She She Pop is a performance collective founded in the late 1990's by graduates of the Applied Theater Studies program in Gießen. Members are Sebastian Bark, Johanna Freiburg, Fanni Halmburger, Lisa Lucassen, Mieke Matzke, Ilia Papatheodorou and Berit Stumpf.
For She She Pop, the stage is a space, in which decisions are made, various forms of dialog and social systems tested, and grand gestures and social rituals learnt or discarded. She She Pop see it as their mission to explore the social boundaries of communication – and transgress them in a purposeful and artistic way in the protected theatrical space.
She She Pop have a specific aesthetic and ideological profile.
Our shows are developed as a collective. There is no director – but also no author and no actors. Texts and concepts are developed together. Our understanding of performance simultaneously emphasizes the artistic responsibility of every individual performer. For us, authorship is therefore less an individual achievement and more of an answer to the question: who is responsible for this text, this action taking place at this moment on stage. We hope that individual decisions made on stage, as well as the glory and failure of performance, are thereby, against this backdrop, more comprehensible and relevant for the audience. Aside from the individual shows – but also in the best parts of every performance – we define the artistic work as a collective to be our most fatal and greatest challenge.
We are not actors. Instead, we give ourselves and others interesting tasks to fulfill and solve them in public on stage. Every performer develops her own perspective on the material based on her personal horizon of experience. This interpreted by some as autobiographical theater. However, references made by us to our own lives are actually a method and not content of our work. We condense our personal material into a recognizable artistic strategy and stylized exemplary positions. What is familiar becomes foreign, monstrous. Lately, this also works the other way around: in some of our recent shows, we have adapted well-known monstrous texts from the literary canon using this same autobiographical method.
She She Pop is a female collective. The existence of male members and collaborators has but little influence on this fact. This may also be the reason why issues such as the capacity and incapacity to act, constellations of the gaze and structures of power are inseparably linked to our work. The act of presenting ourselves to an audience as a group of (mainly) women - of all things – is for us time and again something that we reflect on and observe both on and behind the stage.
Our form of theater is experimental. In other words, it explores the basic principles of theatrical communication. In every show, we make new agreements between the performers and the audience – and it is precisely this, which we consider to be our art. To achieve this, She She Pop often reconstruct familiar, everyday scenarios in which entertainment and enlightenment often alarmingly lie side by side. Our audiences encounter us e.g. in the brightly lit circle of an encounter group, in the ballroom, around a bonfire, at a candle-lit blind date, on the catwalk or in an improvised sports arena. The ping-pong between participation and withdrawal, control and escalation, non-compliance and devotion often shapes the dramaturgy of an evening with She She Pop. However, individualized interactions with members of the audience no longer play a role in recent She She Pop pieces, but this does not mean that the audience doesn't take on a concrete role in the show and is given a specific function. All She She Pop pieces are in their own way experimental set-ups or a line of argumentation, which would be null and void without witnesses.

Samsung Taiwan's "Sorry Potter" ad for Samsung Galaxy S4 is magical
0. phoneArena 05 Aug 2013, 01:21 posted on
Samsung Taiwan posted a new commercial online for the Samsung Galaxy S4; instead of taking on one of its rivals, as Samsung is wont to do, the Taiwan arm of the Korean tech titan went after none other than Harry Potter. In a commercial entitled Sorry Potter, we get to see some of the features found on Sammy's flagship Android model portrayed as magical...

How is it an epic fail? Oh lemme guess, you ain't as smart as even the phone right? Nokia and Apple make phones for dumb people like you.. Buy one and do yourself a favor :)
38. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Dude, those "features" are pathetic. Not only are they useless, but they sometimes get in the way when you're trying to use the phone like a normal person. Don't be a fanboy
As for the ad, I probably would have liked it more if I knew what she was saying. It looked like an amateur video.
41. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
The video is aimed at the Taiwanese market.
Did you not notice the traditional Chinese logograph subtitles?
45. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Nope, I didn't notice the subtitles at all, I was too busy trying to understand her english through her thick accent
Obviously this video is aimed at the Taiwanese market....doesn't take a genius. But just because it's aimed at a different market doesn't mean I won't have an opinion. At the end of the day, it looked like a pretty cheap/amateur video....poorly made advertisement.
42. Android-Boxer (Posts: 13; Member since: 15 Aug 2012)
"use the phone like a normal person" lol! what you mean?
U think these features are made for aliens? Dude, I don't wanna call you a dumbass, but you know most of these features are set to "OFF" by default.. You can turn them "ON" only if you want..
44. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
If someone likes the eye scroll feature or the air gestures and decides to leave it on, very often the "features" are used unintentionally i.e. switching between browser tabs, change songs, scroll up/down accidentally, etc etc.
Did I dumb it down enough for you dumbass?

its probably because its from Taiwan hahaha. Their marketing ethics is different to other countries, you wont see many (if at all) advertisements that rip into their competition. They're more comedy based for advertisements usually

And by the way, those features of S4 are very innovative. very advanced and very useful! Come on Samsung Jealous haters, don't be so ridiculous, I'm sure if those awesome features are on your boring useless iPhone/Nokia/Htc or what ever loser brand you have you'll love them. So don't be jealous ok? Billions of people find these GS4's features useful and innovative! :)
