Automatic Fog Light Tutorial
I tried following a tutorial on how to do it but they had their wiring color/scheme wrong so I thought I'd do my own tutorial for anyone that wants it. Some pictures/words are taken from other tutorials.
Purpose: Fog light turns on when you turn key into accessory position. Fog lights will always be on (unless you put a switch).
Remove glove box (unscrew 4 screw from two plates underneath glove box, undo two plastic pins on each side of the glove box. They hold glove box from falling to floor inside glove box, unlatch and pull towards you).
Remove plastic shield behind glove box (6 screw then pull towards you)
To make things easier and to provide more working area, I removed the 2 zip ties that secure the massive wiring section to a bracket. One tie was mounted towards the rear of glove box section, and the other zip tie secured the wires right on top of the white grid/box.
Hardest step: Remove white grid assembly (don't' know what it's actually called but you'll know it when you see it. It's a ***** to get off but she'll come. There is (1) screw that secures the bottom part of the grid to the car. Remove this first and working with the clips/tabs much easier.
There are 2 clips located towards the top on each side. The one on the right will require you to push a bunch of wires to the side to see it. The white grid tabs need to be pushed away from you (towards the front of the car).
You have exposed a row of relays. One of them is a different color than the others (orange instead of green in my case but that may differ for you. The fog light relay is always different from the other relays though, at least according to my shop manual). Verify that this relay is the fog relay by touching it while turning on the fogs. You should feel it "click".
Relays going from left to right
A/C relay
Secondary air pump relay
Fuel pump relay (green)
A/C relay (green)
Fog light relay (orange)
Horn relay (green)
Relay up close
Look at the back of the relay port, there should be 5 wires coming from it (4 positions with 1 position having 2 wires)
If you did not detach all the other wires and have pushed the back towards you so you are viewing it upside-down. Take the wire that is located at the TOP (yellow/grey), cut it. Take the wire coming from the relay and wire that to the RED/WHITE wire of the A/C relay/Secondary air pump relay/Fuel pump relay (first green relay on the left)
Take the other yellow/grey wire and tape it. This wire will always output 9v until you press the FOG light button on LCM then it will output 12v. You can wire it to a relay for another project if you want to control your project using the FOG light button on LCM. Other wise the FOG light button on LCM is useless.
If you want more control of whether or not the fog light should be turned on, simply add a on/off switch between the yellow/grey and red/white wire.
Fog light indicator will NEVER BE TURNED ON FROM NOW ON as the fog lights will always be turned on when you put it into accessory
RED/WHITE wire of the A/C relay/Secondary air pump relay/Fuel pump relay (first green relay on the left) is wired to accessory port
RED/YELLOW wire of FOG relay is constant 12v
YELLOW/GREY wire coming from LCM is 9v constant until FOG light switch on LCM is pressed then it switches to 12v

Thank you very much for the DIY.
I wanted my fogs to stay on all the time so i added a HID harness/relay and connected the remote wire with accessory wire. Basically the difference is that you hacked the original relay and i hacked the universal hid relay.

People: Dominic Twatt/Jemima Dormandy (Minister Dormandy's daughter)
Rating: K.
Inspired by: A deleted scene from "The Boat That Rocked". Easily available on YouTube: watch?v=t5HoKGdRfwI (Start video at 0:54.)
Twatt really hadn't known what to expect when he was invited around for dinner at his Sir Alistair's house. The dinner itself had been stifling and formal. He'd only got through it because of the daughter. God, she was pretty. Extremely pretty. It was a shame though. Sir Alistair would never allow it. Probably because of the family name. Twatt sighed and took another puff on his cigarette before dropping it onto the pavement and entering his own dingy, little flat.
The next day, it was around six o'clock in the evening when the phone rang. At the time, he'd been halfway through drawing up the Marine Offences Act, an act which would slaughter those damn pirates once and for all. Expecting the caller to be Miss C, Twatt answered it with a heavy-hearted hello. The person who answered back however, was not Miss C.
"Hello. I just wanted to ring... say hello. And apologise, for my dad."
It was her. Sir Alistair's daughter. He could barely speak with the shock.
"Jemima. Hello. I'm so sorry; I thought you were a colleague..."
"Don't worry. I haven't got much time though. I just wanted you to know that I had a great time last night. Dad's dinners can be so boring sometimes. It was nice to see a new face."
Her voice was gentle and soft, like a whisper. It was so different to the sharp, clipped tone of her father's and the reedy, delicate tone of her mother's. Twatt smiled, listening to her speak.
"It's fine. I had a nice time too."
There was a long pause. Twatt momentarily wondered if he'd said the wrong thing. Finally, she spoke.
"My dad can be a bit of dick at times can't he?"
"It's not my place..."
"I won't tell anyone."
"Oh." Twatt paused, wondering what to say next. "Well, admittedly, he can be a bit forceful."
"I've lost count of the amount of potential boyfriends he's driven away from me."
"Are they never good enough?"
"Not to his standards. I think he wants me to marry a mini-me of him," she muttered with a heavy sigh. A bubble of laughter emitted from Twatt's throat.
"That does sound awful," he murmured.
"Yes. Goodnight Dominic."
"Goodnight... Jemima."
The phone beeped suddenly, indicating that she'd run off. Quietly, Twatt put the phone back onto its receiver. He picked up his pen to do some work, but stopped himself. A small smile grew on his lips as the conversation ran through his mind and his brain processed the words. Her voice was so sweet and gentle, yet it had an authoritative air. He was tempted to ring her back, but he didn't. Too risky that someone else would pick up, and anyway, Sir Alistair would fire him on the spot. For the rest of the night, Twatt diligently carried on with his work with the wonderful sound of her voice as his soundtrack.
People: Miss C, Fredericks and Mark. (O.C: Miss C's boyfriend)
Rating: M.
Inspired by: The question of exactly what could have happened to make Miss C be such a devoted but secret listener to Radio Rock.
It was a late night in the office when Miss C discovered her liberation. She'd been rushed off her feet all day and now she was tired. However, she still had a stack of letters to write, all of them detailing Sir Alistair's disgust at many different things. He was such a cross, tight little man. As soon as she had the money she needed, she was gone. She'd only entered this job because of the salary.
What she really wanted to do was open up a bookstore, somewhere in London high street. Her boyfriend already worked as an artist, and she'd promised that when she had her bookstore open, she would sell some of his items for him in the store. In return, he'd promised to marry her. It was a compromise that they both liked, but first she had to find some money, and that was what had landed her here, in a grey suit and in a grey office, typing on a grey typewriter. So little colour in this world. The only way she got through it was by imagining one of her boyfriend's many paintings, all of which were always bright with colour and vivid with life. She sighed and continued typing, the low sounds of the radio near to her right buzzing in her ear. It was tuned to Radio 4 and deadly dull. However, as the night wore on, her exhaustion slowly began to overcome her. When she found herself slumped against the typewriter and snoring lightly, that's when she knew she needed coffee. Pausing in her work, she got up and went to the break room.
Hardly anyone was there, aside from one blue-suited man who was lying on the mint green sofa, snoring loudly. She recognised him as Fredericks, the one that Sir Alistair referred to as "the one with the bad haircut". A pile of papers were scattered on the coffee table in front of him, notes of black ink scrawled carelessly over them. Deciding not to disturb him, Miss C quietly began to make herself a coffee. Suddenly, behind her, she heard a groan. She turned her head. Fredericks had woken up, and he looked like hell.
"What time is it?" he muttered groggily.
"20 past ten," Miss C said, a little more sharply than she'd intended.
"Oh. I must've been asleep longer than I thought." Fredericks sighed heavily and buried his face in his hands.
Miss C stared at him, feeling nothing but sympathy for the poor man. Sir Alistair would never be content until everyone in this office was exactly like him, all of them black-suited with slicked back hair and wide framed glasses. He wanted an army of subordinates, just so the 'common people' weren't able to listen to the music he happened to dislike.
"Do you want a coffee?"
Fredericks looked up, and blinked. No-one in this office had ever offered him anything before.
"Er, yes. Please."
"Milk? Sugar?"
"Milk, two sugars."
There were a few minutes silence as Miss C made the coffee. She always took hers black, especially when she was tired. When the coffee was made, she picked up the two polystyrene cups and moved towards Fredericks, handing him his coffee. He gestured for her to sit down, but she shook her head.
"No thanks. Sorry, but I have to get back to work."
"Oh. Of course. Same here. See you around, Miss..."
"Just call me Miss C. Everyone does around here."
Fredericks nodded, taking a sip of coffee. Miss C smiled warmly at him and left. It was nice to know that there was someone apart from her in this office that hated late nights.
Back at her desk, she sat down and leant back in her chair, quietly and slowly sipping her coffee. Sir Alistair's indignant opinions would have to wait. The radio was still going, still droning on about something or other. Something to do with the economy. Carelessly, she reached out and began to tune it, looking for something else to listen to. She didn't even care if she landed on the fishing forecast. Anything that wasn't dreary old politics. Suddenly, the radio hit a signal and music bled out of the speaker, breaking the dreary peace of the office. Miss C sat up a little, recognising it.
"If you want someone to play with..." the song sang, Aaron Neville's voice breaking through the speaker as if singing straight to her. She smiled, mouthing along with the words as the song played.
As she sipped her coffee, she found herself swaying slowly with the beat. She could just visualize her boyfriend now. His brown shaggy hair, his strong torso under her hands, his breath sweet on her cheek as he whispered sweet nothings in her ear. As the song built into its crescendo, the images in her mind evolved into a memory, specifically the last time she and he had made love. It had been wonderful. It was on her birthday and he'd been hiding himself for months, working on a special project. The project had turned out to be her present: a portrait of her, with her long blonde hair flowing down her naked back. He'd captured her perfectly. They'd made love right there and then, in the midst of his studio. It made her heart melt and her body warm just to think about it. The song faded to a stop and a voice replaced the song.
"Wow," was all it said. Miss C smiled and sipped her last sip of coffee, the memory still fresh in her mind. So this was Radio Rock, the scourge of the high seas. And it was perfection.

Leverett Trails Committee
Trail Maps
- Leverett Trails – overview of all the trails; not really a trail map
- Bill Rivers Conservation Area Trails
- Cave Hill Trails – now an eBird Hot Spot
- Dan Glazier Forest Trail – with improved directions
- East Leverett Trails
- Ellamoose Repose Trail – print in horizontal/landscape format. Also on Cave Hill Area Trails Map
- Friendship and Long Hill Trails – see also on East Leverett to Long Hill Trails
- Rattlesnake Gutter Area Trails
- Roaring Brook and Bates Sanctuary Trails
Peripatetic Poetry Boxes
Well, not technically peripatetic because they don't keep moving, but two have moved:
- The Bill Rivers Trail box is now next to the new bench on the knoll at the Donald H. Bates Sanctuary
- The Bog Bridges Trail box is now next to a bench looking out on the newly-cleared Gordon King Life Estate pond (just east of the blueberries)
But you can be peripatetic as you walk, find the boxes, read the poems – and write new ones. All you need is a map of Poetry Boxes. If you also want trail maps, click on the East Leverett Trails map above for Gordon King pond and on Roaring Brooks and Bates Sanctuary Trails for the Bates knoll.
Downloading the Trails (if you use Google Earth or smart phone gps apps)
This link includes ".kmz" files of the trails that Google Earth can use and a ".gpx" file that MotionX-GPS (and some other smart phone apps) can use. There is good help from the program websites and by just googling your problem, but here are some random suggestions for:
- Importing the Leveret Trails .kmz files to Google Earth
- Importing the Leverett Trail .gpx file to MotionX-GPS
Good luck. Please don't send this link out into hyperspace. It is not ready for public distribution. Please send along suggestions.

The purpose of the BCRT is to evaluate and address student behavior that may be inappropriate or concerning, and to coordinate the resources of the College to intervene and provide necessary supports. In order to promote the safety and health of all NHCC students, the BCRT addresses student behaviors that are disruptive and may include mental health and/or safety issues.
FERPA protects the privacy of students' education records. FERPA does not prohibit or in any way restrict a college employee from sharing what they personally observe. In other words, a college employee would not violate FERPA by advising the Behavioral Concerns & Response Team of what he or she saw or heard when directly interacting with a student, when observing a student interact with others, or when otherwise observing a student's behavior or demeanor.
In addition, if a faculty member notices disturbing content in a student's writing or artwork, the faculty member should refer this to the BCRT. Although the student's writing or artwork would likely be an education record protected by FERPA, FERPA authorizes school officials such as faculty to disclose education records to other school officials who have a legitimate educational interest in those records, without the student's consent. Since the BCRT is responsible for identifying, responding to, and supporting at risk students while simultaneously attending to the needs of the NHCC community, in these circumstances, the members of the BCRT would have a legitimate educational interest in examining the student's writing or artwork.
Protecting student privacy is a high priority of the BCRT. Records and proceedings of the BCRT are kept confidential and shared only on a "need to know" basis in a manner that is consistent with college policy and the college's obligations under applicable law, including FERPA.
In order to file a report, you can click the "Submit BCRT Report" button to the right. Provide as much information about the student as possible, along with a description of the behavior of concern.
If someone is in immediate danger or in need of help, please call Public Safety at 763-424-0807, or dial 911.

Bartenders & Beverages:
Pub 500500 S Front St
Blue Earth County, MN 56001, US
"I only wish you could give negative stars. This bar came highly recommended by MSU, but they failed miserably at being even adequate. They brought no wine to sell once the hosted wine was all gone, they brought only TWO bottled beer varieties to sell once the hosted kegs were drained. And with no lines later in the evening, they poured the rest of the keg beer into pitchers where it could become warm while it waited for guests. Add to this that several of our female guests said that the bartender's creepy stares kept them away from the bar, and you have the makings of a wedding disaster. All we wanted was the service they promised to run seamlessly. It did not, and of all the vendors we used, they were far and away the worst."
Cakes/Candies Vendor:
Daubes of RochesterMankato, MN, USA
"Daubes makes amazing cakes. Living in Rochester, we came to appreciate their baking skill, and their cakes are amazing. We were given more cake than we had need, which resulted in a lot of left overs, but with cake this good, it is a wonderful problem to have."

text: What? Skating championships? Turns out to be a brief report on the gymnastics world championships. <<Don't click on the link if you don't want to be spoiled>> Because skating and gymnastics really are pretty much interchangeable. Or, it is really late in NY and the headline writer needs another cup of coffee. You choose. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/01/s...st-leads-skating-championships.html?src=twrhp I wonder how long before it gets fixed.

Saint Michael's Preparatory School is a private, Roman Catholic, college preparatory boys' boarding school in Silverado, California. It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange. It is owned and operated by the Norbertine Fathers of St. Michael's Abbey, who established it in 1961 as St. Michael's Junior Seminary and Novitiate.[7]
St. Michael's is run by the Norbertine Order. An abbey school, it adjoins a community of 60 priests, many of whom teach at the school.[8] Religious education is compulsory for all students, as is daily attendance at morning mass before breakfast and night prayer after supper. Studies in Latin are also mandatory, except for the students who take Spanish.
St. Michael's Prep offers a classical sequence of courses at College Prep, Honors, and Advanced Placement levels. It is the only boarding school to rank among the top fifty Catholic High Schools in the nation.[3] 100% of its graduates go on to institutions of higher learning.[9] This is considered a highly selective high school.[10]
St. Michael's educates young men in fidelity to the Catholic intellectual tradition. It is exclusively a boarding school, with students and teachers living and working together in five-day & seven-day boarding programs. St. Michael's offers significant opportunities for wholesome growth through clear standards.[11] Good behavior is enforced among the students through the "conduct grade" which directly impacts student GPA, and a system of prefects called "roomleaders".
Most students participate in one or more sports. These include Cross Country and Football in the fall, Soccer in the winter, and Baseball in the spring. Underclassmen who do not participate in a sport must take the physical education class. The school mascot is the Pioneer.
Each year during Christmas vacation, the Junior class travels to Rome for two weeks under the supervision of several teachers and parent chaperones.[12]
St. Michael's Abbey was founded in 1961 by seven priests[13] from the Norbertine Abbey of St. Michael in Csorna, Hungary,[14] whose roots go back to the 12th century.[15] The Norbertine priests in the 1940s were well-established teachers in the national educational system of Hungary that encompassed religious and secular schools alike. All private schools, however, were nationalized by 1948. Two groups of priests from the Norbertine Abbey of Csorna fled their native land on separate July nights in 1950. Shortly thereafter, their religious community was suppressed.[13][16] On the night of July 11, 1950, word came to the Abbey in Csorna that the police would arrive the next day to arrest the confreres and suppress the community. Seven priests left that night in two groups to hike across country to the Austrian border.
The Hungarian refugees emigrated to America. Arriving in New York in 1952, they were welcomed by the Abbey of St. Norbert in De Pere, Wisconsin, with whom they worked for several years, saving money to begin their own monastery.[17] At the invitation of Cardinal McIntyre, archbishop of Los Angeles, they first moved to Santa Ana, California in 1957 and taught at Mater Dei High School,[13] establishing a monastic community the next year.[15] The founding abbot was the Rt. Rev. Ladislaus Parker, O.Praem.[15] The exiles saw the move to Orange County, California as their chance to establish a new foundation.
In December 1958 Cardinal McIntyre gave his consent to the Fathers establishing their own foundation. Their desire was fueled by the desire to perpetuate the religious and educational heritage of their native Csorna. Under the leadership of Fr. Ladislas Parker, the Fathers invested their savings to purchase property. Fr. Hubert Szanto joined Fr. Parker to open St. Michael's Junior Seminary and Novitiate in September 1961. St. Michael's opened this Junior Seminary in 1962, which would evolve into the present day Preparatory School.[17] Rapid changes in American society and in the Roman Catholic Church prompted Fr. Parker to petition Cardinal McIntyre to allow the school to introduce a parallel college preparatory program for lay students. This petition uniquely changed St. Michael's.
When the 1970s began, St. Michael's was flourishing more as a high school than as a seminary. As the number of those interested in the priesthood at the high school level continued to dwindle, the parallel programs gradually merged into one.
Back in the United States, educational programs similar to St. Michael's were closing. Thus, by 1995, St. Michael's Prep became the only institution where Catholic, secondary education was available in the entire Western United States for those seeking to study in an all-male, residential environment.[7]

Rod Smith
The speculation is over. Democratic frontrunner for Florida Governor, Alex Sink, has made her pick for Lieutenant Governor. And he's a familiar face, especially to the people of North Central Florida.
Rod Smith has enjoyed a long career in the public eye through politics, the judicial system and a successful private law practice. So his decision to partner with Democrat Alex Sink in the campaign for Governor was not a surprise to many political insiders. But Smith said it was unexpected. "I was surprised. I don't know if I was surprised I got asked or if I was surprised when I accepted, because I really had kinda made up my mind I was not going to do this."
Smith said he changed his mind because he feels a duty to Florida's future. He also said, "I don't want to see it where all of a sudden we're saying well we have diminished expectations...and our dreams are to settle. That's not what we need to do for Florida. That's not the way Floridians have been and that's not what made this state what it is and we need to re-engage the engine and get this state going forward again."
Smith expressed confidence that Sink has the best plan for Florida and said he will start campaigning immediately. "Look, we need to have a spirited campaign, we need to fight on principles, we need to fight on our differences and need to have that battleground layed out for the next weeks and months."
Smith said he beleives that Floridians will have a clear choice about who to elect based on the issues that matter most to them and he's especially looking forward to bringing that message to the people in and around his hometown.

Take a tour of Rep. Todd Platts' D.C. office
Todd Platts retiring from politics after 12 years in U.S. House
News 8's Matt Belanger went to Washington D.C. to talk to retiring Susquehanna Valley U.S. Rep. Todd Platts. The Republican represented the 19th U.S. House District, which covers Adams and York counties and parts of Cumberland County, for 12 years. Platts did not run for re-election this year.PHOTO: Matt Belanger
Platts' office is in the Rayburn House Office Building near the Capitol.PHOTO: Matt Belanger
The Pennsylvania state flag and a U.S. flag hang outside the door of Platts' fourth-floor office. A sign hangs outside his office, as it does every representative's office, that reads, "Please, come in."PHOTO: Matt Belanger
Right when you walk in the door, you notice a display case that contains a flag made of paper chain links. The flag was a gift from students, teachers and staff at Wrightsville Elementary School. It was given to him in the days after Sept. 11, 2001 and Platts said it deserved a permanent place in his office. The door to Platts' inner office is on the right.PHOTO: Matt Belanger
News 8 made a few additions to the office for its interview, such as the two chairs in the center of this picture and the lights.PHOTO: Matt Belanger
This clock is like many others in the Rayburn House Office building. Notice the seven circles at the top of the clock. The circles can light up and a bell can also sound. Congressional members and staffers can tell what's happening on the House floor based on sequences of bells and lights.PHOTO: Matt Belanger
Platts says he never takes down pictures - he only adds them. He displays many pictures of his family in his office, which he calls his sanctuary.PHOTO: Matt Belanger
All around the chair rail of Platts' office, are mementos and tokens of time spent with family.
The office is filled with reminders of family. Platts says the mementos keep him grounded in reality. Many of the items were made by his two sons, T.J. and Tom.PHOTO: Matt Belanger
Even some of the tiniest details are reminders of family. This chain of beads was made by one of his children when they were very young. Both of his sons are now teenagers.
Platts has held on to this Bible that dates back to his days in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, which he was sworn in to on Jan. 5 1993. It made the trip with him when he became a U.S. representative and has a place on his D.C. desk.PHOTO: Matt Belanger
Platts and his family are big sports fan. Sports memorabilia fills much of his office.PHOTO: Matt Belanger
This was the license plate for Platts' car when he was a state representative. He left the Pa. House for Washington in Nov. 2000. Platts also has his old business cards from his Pa. House days. Those are on the lower right.PHOTO: Matt Belanger
This bill is the Department of Homeland Security Financial Accountability Act, which Platts was involved in and was signed into law by President George W. Bush.PHOTO: Matt Belanger
There are also other reminders in the office, like the photos and funeral pamphlets of fallen service members. These are housed in the bookcase behind Platts' desk.PHOTO: Matt Belanger
During his time in office, Platts made 14 trips overseas to meet American forces in war zones.PHOTO: Matt Belanger
One of the walls in his office is devoted to the Armed Forces. Platts served on Committee on Armed Services.PHOTO: Matt Belanger
Platts also displays these coins on a glass-topped coffee table. Some of his son's childhood creations rest on top.PHOTO: Matt Belanger
Platts' last day in office will be Jan. 2. Republican Scott Perry will take his seat.

Man Weekend.
For the past several autumns, I've met up with the same group of guys for a weekend of golf, drinks and good times. Last month, we convened in Myrtle Beach for our fifth edition. Astute readers may remember that this rollicking affair [past editions found here, here and here] once produced what this website boldly dubbed "The Worst Golf Shot in America." This group is capable of making history at any moment. As time has passed, our annual trips have slowly grown shorter as family and career obligations intercede. Most of us are now in our mid-30s, and life looks a lot different than it did five years ago. Thanks to an office meeting and flight snafu, I wasn't able to join the band in Myrtle until Saturday morning, when less than 36 holes remained in the trip. A few guys had to blow out of town that night. One guy bailed on the trip at the last minute, leaving us with an awkward seven-man group instead of a perfect eight for foursomes. All told, the entire unit was together for a total of about 10 hours.
We made the most of it.
Recently in Golf.com's PGA Tour Confidential, we kicked around our dream 36-hole day and, because one should never miss a chance to be sarcastic dazzle readers with dry wit, I said that a perfect 36 holes in 24 hours would be Augusta National followed by Royal Melbourne. Good luck with that. But there are more than 100 courses in the Grand Strand, and I'd put the duo of Caledonia Golf and Fish Club and True Blue Plantation up against any other pair in Myrtle Beach. That was our two-course lineup for the day.
Caledonia's Southern charm is apparent from the moment your car tires hit the driveway -- that path is lined by antebellum oaks (pictured above) and calls to mind, of all places, Magnolia Lane at Augusta National. That's right: wheeling into Caledonia makes me feel like I'm about to play the Masters. I consider this a good way to start a round. Caledonia was built on a Southern rice plantation, and the immaculate course is a staple on Golf Magazine's list of Top 100 Courses You Can Play. (I mean, look at that grass on the tee box above.) I've been fortunate enough to hit Caledonia a few times, and after each round I come away with a new favorite hole. This time the honor goes to the par-5 eighth, and its risk-reward second shot over a pond which fronts a green that's severely sloped from back to front. My buddy Stuart, the biggest hitter of the group, eagled it. I birdied it. Others made 8s. Holes like this are a blast, especially in match play.
The par-4 18th [shown at right] has historically eaten my lunch. A large pond runs along the right side of the narrow fairway, and it takes a precise hybrid or mid-iron to stay in play off the tee. Then you need to hit one more pure shot that flies the pond and carries all the way to the green. The putting surface slopes toward the water, so, yeah, good luck. I think my best score on this hole entering Man Weekend was a 6. Here's my tee shot from this year's event. Spoiler alert: it stunk. For our second round of the day, we hopped across Kings River Road to play True Blue, Caledonia's sister property. While Caledonia is exacting off the tee, the Blue is more open and forgiving. Massive waste bunkers line many of the fairways, and the greens were still running quick, even in late October. The opening hole is a long, dogleg-left par-5 that kicks you in the teeth right out of the gate (It's the No. 1 handicap) but the wide fairways were a welcome sight for our group as fatigue (and, in some cases, alcohol) began affecting our swings.
On the quaint little par-4 sixth, Stuart, a lefty who regularly busts drives over 300 yards, hopped out of his cart, flipped a right-handed club on its side and ripped this shot 330. You probably had to be there to fully appreciate it, but here it is: We staggered home from there, mixing in a few good golf shots with more drinks and unprintable insults. True Blue's home hole, with water left, trees right and the stately clubhouse dead ahead, was memorable, and a great cap to a long afternoon on the course. We finished our day with a fresh seafood dinner at the excellent Flying Fish Public Market and Grill (Slogan: "If it swims, we'll catch it!") and basked in the glow of another weekend that was well worth the trip.
Can't wait to tee it up again next year.

Basically I see that there are two options for unlocking the Bionic's bootloader; 1. Getting our hands on a "special" SBF and/or XML.ZIP file that unlocks the bootloader for us or 2. Pulling random update files from Moto's dev site by modifying the server and method the device gets the OTA updates from in its system files, then ripping them apart to see if it can unlock a retail unit.
Option 2 is Project Cheesecake in a nutshell. I personally haven't checked my system for the files this post lists (because I'm not on Blur currently.) But before I do any of this I need confirmation from a serious expert that its available to our beloved Droid X.

Distinguished Speaker Series on Nonviolent Action and Civil Resistance
October 1, 2013
4:00 pm
Campus Center
Room: 904-08
UMass Amherst Campus
Why Civil Resistance Works: Unarmed Conflict in the Past and Future
Refreshments will be served
This event is free and open to all
Between 1900 and 2006, campaigns of nonviolent resistance were more than twice as effective as violent insurgencies. In this talk, Chenoweth will review the impressive historical record of civil resistance in the 20th century and discuss the promise of unarmed struggle in the 21st century. She will draw from her book (co-authored with Maria Stephan) Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict, which recently won the Grawemeyer Award for Ideas Improving World Order. The book argues that nonviolent resistance presents fewer obstacles to involvement, information, and commitment, leading to enhanced resilience, improved tactical flexibility, increased opportunity for civic disruption, and shifts in loyalty among opponents' erstwhile supporters. Moreover, nonviolent resistance movements tend to usher in more durable and internally peaceful democracies.
Erica Chenoweth is Associate Professor at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies at the University of Denver and an Associate Senior Researcher at the Peace Research Institute of Oslo (PRIO). Together with Maria J. Stephan of the U.S. State Department, she is the winner of the 2013 Grawemeyer Award for Ideas Improving World Order, which is presented annually in recognition of outstanding proposals for creating a more just and peaceful world order. Their book, Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict (Columbia University Press), also won the 2012 Woodrow Wilson Foundation Award given annually by the American Political Science Association in recognition of the best book on government, politics, or international affairs published in the U.S. during the previous calendar year.
Before coming to DU, Chenoweth taught at Wesleyan University, where she was the 2010 recipient of the Carol A. Baker Memorial Prize for excellence in junior faculty research and teaching. She has also held visiting appointments at Harvard, Stanford, UC-Berkeley, and the University of Maryland. She is currently the co-chair of the Academic Advisory Board at the International Center on Nonviolent Conflict.
Chenoweth has authored several books, including Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict with Maria J. Stephan; and Rethinking Violence: States and Non-State Actors in Conflict with Adria Lawrence of Yale University. Her next book, Why Democracy Encourages Terrorism, explores the underlying reasons why terrorism is so common in democratic countries. She has published over a dozen articles in scholarly journals and edited volumes.
Chenoweth has presented her research all over the world at various academic conferences, government workshops, and international governmental organizations. Her research has been featured in The New York Times, The Economist, The Boston Globe, Foreign Policy, The Christian Science Monitor, and elsewhere. She co-hosts the award-winning blog Political Violence @ a Glance, hosts a blog called Rational Insurgent, and has been an occasional blogger at The Monkey Cage and Duck of Minerva.
Chenoweth holds a Ph.D. and an M.A. in political science from the University of Colorado and a B.A. in political science and German from the University of Dayton.

OK, seriously

Outside of the Cowboys, we are the most popular team in the deep south (the confederacy shall rise again)[/quote]
There's 30-40 million people in the NYC market, we can take a hit from the "other team" and still have a large fanbase.* We've been sold out since 1976.
The Bills are up in Buffalo which is farther away than Boston.*
The Eagles are eastern PA and South Jersey, totally different market.
Would you care to back up your claim about popularity, because it isn't backed up in Google searches, NFL merchandise sales, stadium attendance, or anything else for that matter.* In fact I'd bet your team is one of the least popular franchises, ahead of maybe the Jaguars.* Heck I know for a fact the Jets are more popular.* Let alone the fact that your team is virtually homeless.* In fact if your team were popular it would still be in Houston.
Actually the Oilers were loved by Houston. Bud Adams got up and moved to Tennesee after Houston had committed to building a stadium because he is a huge jerk. He is the Art Modell of Houston. They absolutely hate Bud Adams and the Titans in Houston.

Before I was a customer of Hughesnet I was a customer of their competitor, wild blue. I was upset with Wildblue for setting monthly internet useage limits, and I expressed that to the sales representitive that I spoke with to set up my Hughesnet account. He assured me that I had nothing to worry about because Hughesnet sets dailey limits and they reset everyday at 12:00 AM and that I had a unlimited usage between 12:00 AM and 5:00 AM, that conversation happened on 10/20/2010. Now on 1/15/2011 for the last four days straight I have woken up to 0% available for internet usage, that tells me that it has been resetting nor have I been receiving my unlimitted period. I called 1/15/2011 and was informed that the representitive that sold me had lied, and it doesn't always reset on 12:00 AM and that if you go over your dailey limit, it won't reset until 24 hours from when you stopped using it, so for example, if you go over and stop using it at 9:00 PM on 1/15 it won't reset until 9:00 PM on 1/16 and thats if you don't use it for 24 hours, if you use it before it will delay it more. Well that is not what was explained to me nor was anything that I agreed upon. It explained to me that it would reset everyday at 12:00 AM and that is what i agreed on. When I said that was a breach of contract they didn't offer any solution and want me to pay $400 to cancel. If it was every explained that way I would have never been a client in the first place, I would have stuck with WildBlue

East Providence Rep. Melo gives early approval of governor's budget proposal
PROVIDENCE — Governor Lincoln Chafee, Wednesday, Jan. 16, introduced an $8.17 billion budget, key to which would reduce Rhode Island's corporate tax rate over a period of three years and hopefully make it the lowest among the New England states while also giving some much needed additional assistance to municipalities.
Gov. Chafee's proposal would slash the rate from its current nine percent to eight as of Jan. 1 of 2014. It would dip to 7.5 percent and then to seven by the first day of 2016.
To make up for some of the lost revenue, the governor has proposed the elimination of enterprise zone and jobs development tax credits, which could save the state approximately $3 million annually.
The governor is also proposing no new personal income tax or fee increases.
At first glance, House Finance Committee Chairman Helio Melo (D-Dist. 64, East Providence) gave the governor's proposed budget a passing grade.
"It seems like a nice budget," Rep. Melo said. "There are no new taxes in there. I'm glad to see that. And there are no new increases in fees. It's good for Rhode Islanders. The governor has introduced some great incentives as far as education and infrastructure in our state and help to cities and towns."
The Ocean State currently has the highest corporate taxes in the region, surpassing the Maine's variable top rate 8.93 percent. According to the Tax Policy Center, Maine's rate range begins at a paltry 3.5 percent. New Hampshire's is a flat 8.5. Vermont's variable rate ranges from 6.5 to 8. Massachusetts is eight across the board. Connecticut's is 7.5 percent.
"The corporate tax proposal is realistic," said Rep. Melo. "I think if we work hard enough we can come up with a good number. We have to be competitive with our neighboring states. This is the first time the governor has introduced a budget that did not have any tax increases and I think it's easier for Rhode Islanders to accept."
Of local interest, a couple of the key concepts the governor introduced deal with so-called "distressed communities" and schools. Gov. Chafee is proposing some $30 million in additional aid to schools and $5 million to distressed communities. He's also earmarked some $10 towards improvements to roads, another need of East Providence. Overall spending in the Fiscal Year 2014 Budget, which would start on July 1 of this year, would increase by about $72 million.
Among the other highlights, the governor's budget move up plans for $11 million-worth of "shovel-ready" state construction and renovation projects. Gov. Chafee is also proposing to add 145 state jobs, increase job training programs and give an additional $8.2 million to state colleges and universities.
Rep. Melo's House Finance Committee will have a significant say in the final FY14 Budget. From what he's seen and heard, Rep. Melo said his group and their counterparts in the State Senate, the committed chaired by East Providence's Daniel DaPonte (D-Dist. 14), have solid base upon which to work.
"The governor has come up with some great ideas, some great proposals. Now it's a matter of going through the entire budget and seeing what we can afford," Rep. Melo added.

Grab the Real Clean Gelled Oil Cleanser and Ideal Skin Perfect Finish to keep at home, and save this kit for nights when you're away.
More often than not, we neglect our beauty regimens when we spend the night away from home—only to regret it when we look haggard the next day. Whether you're planning a Netflix marathon with your significant other or getting together for a ladies' retreat, take this skin-saving duo with you. This kit includes a one packet of WEI™ to Go's Real Clean Gelled Oil Cleanser and one packets of the Ideal Skin Perfect Finish, an advanced color-correcting CC Cream available in three shades: Light, Medium, and Tan.
Apply a pea-sized amount of cleanser to your fingertips and massage into dry skin. Rinse away with warm water. In the morning, apply a thin, even layer of the tint onto skin. Repeat to build coverage.
I personally don't like washing my face with oil, and the CC cream was a good shade for me, but I wouldn't repurchase.
It's a cute idea to have a little sleep-over kit but I wish the products were better. The cleanser was not as effective as other oil-based cleansers I normally love to use and the CC cream wasn't very hydrating.
I really didn't like the Oil wash. but the finishing cream was nice! Combination is not for everyone, but worth the try
I tried this product with birch box ( boxes) and it seem to be a good product to buy in regular size. Covers your skin very good, and is not a cakes product very light but goodwear. I recommend it.
I usually thoroughly enjoy WEI products but I am certainly on the fence on this one. The coverage is good but seems oily.

OPEC chief concerned over oil prices
Page Tools
OPEC president Purnomo Yusgiantoro expressed concern over soaring oil prices after futures contracts this week hit a new record of almost $US50 per barrel, a report said today.
Yusgiantoro, who is also Indonesia's energy and mineral resources minister, said the oil producers' cartel would meet in mid-September to discuss ways to slow price increases, the English-language Jakarta Post daily said.
"I am very concerned with the high oil prices," Yusgiantoro said.
"We will do our best to prevent the oil prices from increasing."
The OPEC president also said that the cartel had yet to see signs that the increase in oil prices would slow global economic growth, and that the cartel may ask those outside OPEC to play a role in easing the pressures on oil prices.
"Commitment [to lower oil prices] can come from OPEC and non-OPEC countries," he said. "But it also needs help from big oil companies."
After oil prices rose yesterday to set a new record on the New York Mercantile Exchange, prices took a rare dive as news of progress to end a stand-off with militants in Najaf eased concerns about Iraq's oil supply.
By the end of the day, oil prices had dropped from a peak of $US49.4 dollars per barrel to $US47.4, $US1.3 lower than Thursday's closing price.

Date of Stay: May, 2011
Based on a weekly rate. Very clean park. A majority of the sites are pull-thru, tho not the ones near the river. You have river access after scaling 2 flights of stairs, located between site 9 & 10. Right across the river from Garner SP. Garner can get a little noisy on weekends, so this is a nice alternative. Bathrooms/showers a little old but well maintained. Cable worked well, tho it had only about 10 channels. Wi-Fi costs $2/per day per device. What this means if you have 2 I-phones and a laptop it will cost you $6/day, a little cheesy IMHO but the system itself was fairly fast and dependable. One other thing: If you are coming to this park from Uvalde, don't try and use County Rd 150 from the south, it crosses the river but is often covered by water. Go a little further north to FM1050, then pass up Garner SP entrance and turn right just after the bridge. I would stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2011
Most of the spaces were pull thru, all are gravel tho mostly level. Cop shop is right next door, seemed safe and the Wal-Mart is 2 blocks away. Bathrooms/showers were old, but clean. Laundry room worked. Wi-Fi worked most of the time, it seemed to be at it's worst in the evening, maybe because that's what everyone else is doing. Cable was very good, more channels than you usually get. Center of Fredericksburg is about 2 miles. A lot to see and do in this area of the Texas Hill Country. Park is not the Taj Mahal but a good value for the price. I would stay here again.
Date of Stay: May, 2011
We stayed here a week, the rate reflects 7 days stay. The location is very good, it sits between the state and national parks, 80 miles south of Alpine and maybe 5 miles from the eclectic little town of Terlingua. The staff overall was helpful, there is a small store and a laundry within walking distance. It is very, very dusty and usually windy but it is, after all, the desert. The Wi-Fi worked sometimes, sometimes not. I went once or twice to the office to get them to reset it, though most of the staff did not know how to do that. Cable TV was terrible where we stayed (on the south end, same side as the stables) but supposedly it is better on the north-east side, I have no way of knowing. Additionally, there is a noisy power plant on the south east side of the park. There are a lot of Sheriff patrols and Border police that frequent the area, and it did seem safe while we were here. Really there isn't much in this area for alternatives if you have a very large unit like we have. There are steep grade hills east and west of this park. I would stay here again were I to return to Big Bend. PS: Beware of snakes at night, not usually a problem during the day however.
Date of Stay: April, 2011
Very dusty, and it was very windy during our stay. I'm told it's typically breezy but this was unusually strong. Very little to do. WiFi worked well, cable TV had something like 6 channels, I suppose better than nothing. I was warned to watch out for snakes, I did not see any but was wary. I did see deer in the park near dusk. Manager is in a motorhome in front. Way too many nit-picky rules. Owner seems to have a big problem if you bring along a motorcycle. I won't be back.
Date of Stay: April, 2011
Very quiet park, friendly owner. There are a few sites that are pull-through but they were taken, however there is plenty of room for backing. Located about 1.5 south of Hondo, definitely flatlands but still close to restaurants and shopping in town. I'd try and park as far away from the windmills as possible, and it is a bit dusty at times, but overall a good value and I would stay here again.
Date of Stay: March, 2011
Actually the park IS open, although it's more or less an afterthought at this point. The spaces are all concrete, plenty wide and many of them are pull-throughs. Where it's not paved is all grass, and no gravel, making it a clean place to park. Local cable TV worked well, Wi-Fi ok only if you can get a spot close to the main building. (However, they use the front part of the park as part of their RV business, so there are a number of boats and RV's parked in what used to be RV slots.) A pretty well kept secret, and worth a try if you are staying near Galveston for a spell. It's right off I-45, so it can be a bit noisy but towards the back you don't really notice it. One other thing, if there ever is another big storm, don't leave anything at this park, by the looks of things it is actually below sea level, at any rate below the dam and definitely flood prone. $350 month but electricity was extra. I would stay here again. Call the RV dealer before you show up.

The JavaFX platform empowers content developers by enabling them to focus on creativity instead of coding. It enables developers to create game-changing applications and engaging content with maximum market penetration opportunities.
Reviewing 1.0 (Dec 10, 2008)
JavaFX looks similar to Flex, Flex though runs on Flash and JavaFX on Java VM.
Plus side for JavaFX - much much more libraries out there written for Java than for Flex, also Java Standard Edition API is very rich. Java has ability to display widgets in the native operating system's look and feel.
Downside - Flex has more mature UI-building tools, and Flash has better design and animation tools.
However, when the design tools for JavaFX are released, they will be free (unlike FlexBuilder).
Reviewing 1.0 (Dec 9, 2008)
Yes choice is evil.
Reviewing 1.0 (Dec 5, 2008)

Soup Pots
Nothing beats a warm pot of soup or stew straight from the stove during the coldest months of the year, but when you are making soup from scratch, it is important to have the right equipment on hand. That starts with a durable soup pot. Williams-Sonoma offers a variety of soup pots that are sure to please any chef.
Soup pots are often confused with or compared to stockpots because they look similar, but there is actually one major difference. Soup pots tend to be thicker and heavier, especially around the bottom of the pot. This allows the pot to heat evenly without burning your favorite soup recipe. The thicker the soups that you enjoy making, the better off you are with a heavier pot.
Soup pots are versatile enough that you can do more with them than just whip up a batch of your favorite chowder. They are also excellent choices for boiling pasta, creating tomato sauce from scratch, braising a pot roast, making your own broth or cooking a larger batch of vegetables at once. For this reason, you want to choose a soup pot made from quality material that can withstand repeated use for several years. Anodized aluminum, stainless-steel, ceramic, cast iron and copper all make great options, each with its own pros. For example, stainless-steel is easy to clean, while tough anodized aluminum is durable and versatile. Copper is the best choice for temperature control, while cast iron lasts a long time.
The size of the soup pot you buy is also important. Do you cook for yourself, or do you often cook for large groups? This type of cookware typically ranges from 4 to 20 quarts. As for the shape of the pot, be sure it has a rounded base with tall, straight or flared sides to ensure your dishes cook evenly.
Soup pots typically come with lids. They may be glass or made from the same solid material as the pot itself. They also typically come with handles on either side. Because soups and other dishes can get heavy, especially when you cook in large quantities, you want a pot with secure handles that are not going to break easily when you lift the pot off the stove. Pots with handles attached by screws are usually the sturdiest.
With so many option for soup pots available, it is important to consider your own cooking needs first when shopping. How many people you typically cook for and the type of dishes you cook will play a role in your decision. Also, keep in mind that soup pots are some of your larger pieces of cookware, so you should have enough room for storage.

1. If you are declined are you given a reason why so you can fix and resubmit?
2. Some of the profile icons have something saying 'this user has referred 250 people', what does that mean and does the user get a referral fee?
3. Some profiles have green paw (250k – 1 milly), this particular user has been a member for around 4 years, if they get 50% it could be 250k (dollars) for the 4 years, is the money earned from purely selling graphics or could that also include affiliate links etc, if its just pure sales that's motivation right there.
Hi @idreamdesign, welcome to Envato!
1. Yes, when one of your files gets rejected you are given a reason, and if you want some pieces of advice of how to improve the item you can ask other authors here on the forums, on the category "item discussion".
2. It means that if another user is registered through one of your referral links you will get a certain part (I believe it is 30%) of that person's first deposit or first sale. More information here.
3. You start getting 50% but then it increases up to 70%. It is only from selling files, as far as I know it does not include referrals.
1. Not always (you can fix and resubmit but you aren't always given reasons as to what's wrong)
2. http://graphicriver.net/make_money/affiliate_program
3. Just sales but most (maybe all) of these authors are not GR authors.
Also, your paw is not based on just your percentage, it's the value of what you've sold.

Path, the recently relaunched social network, recently had a little crisis; it was discovered that Path uploads your address book to their servers. Dave Morin, co-founder and CEO of Path explained how address book data has been used used for faster and better searching of your friends and nothing else.
However, he apologized, Path deleted every address book from their servers and they've released an updated version of the app in which you can opt-out of giving your address book information. Although Path successfuly avoided any bigger problems, this incident showed that Path isn't the only app which takes your private information without your knowledge. Even Apple had to react when Congress sent them a letter asking for information on why Apple allows such apps to be in the AppStore.
Here's what was happening about this privacy issue:
It all started with this blog post by Arun Thampi who described how he discovered the data:
It all started innocently enough. I was thinking of implementing a Path Mac OS X app as part of our regularly scheduled hackathon. Using the awesome mitmproxy tool which was featured on the front page of Hacker News yesterday, I started to observe the various API calls made to Path's servers from the iPhone app. It all seemed harmless enough until I observed a POST request to https://api.path.com/3/contacts/add.
Upon inspecting closer, I noticed that my entire address book (including full names, emails and phone numbers) was being sent as a plist to Path. Now I don't remember having given permission to Path to access my address book and send its contents to its servers, so I created a completely new "Path" and repeated the experiment and I got the same result – my address book was in Path's hands.
Path's Dave Morin explained a lot in the comments of the original post, but he also apologized and described how Path deleted everything from their servers:
We made a mistake. Over the last couple of days users brought to light an issue concerning how we handle your personal information on Path, specifically the transmission and storage of your phone contacts.
So, as a clear signal of our commitment to your privacy, we've deleted the entire collection of user uploaded contact information from our servers. Your trust matters to us and we want you to feel completely in control of your information on Path.
The Next Web got the news that US Congress sent a message to Apple with several questions about this issue:
Read the full letter on The Next Web.
Not long after Arun Thampi discovered how Path uploads your address book data, there were discoveries on how some other apps also use your address book without asking. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare, Foodspotting and Yelp are some of them, PCWorld reports.
Apps from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare, Foodspotting and Yelp upload names, e-mail addresses and/or phone numbers from users' address books to their servers, sometimes without explicit permission, according to VentureBeat.
The apps mostly upload the information to match phone numbers or e-mail addresses in the companies' database. The apps are trying to see whether your friends have accounts on their services, so that you can all connect and share every detail of your waking lives.
The Next Web reported how Instagram quietly updated its app, now asking you for your permission to access the address book data.
What do you think of this privacy issue? Is it a serious problem or a minor issue which gives you a better user experience with these applications?

(Broadway work doesn't count as music in this one particular set of criteria.) My rankings take into consideration both their music and acting work, with a more weight to music than to acting.
Honorable Mention: Donald Glover, Queen Latifah, Justin Timberlake, Will Smith
5. Jennifer Hudson
Jennifer Hudson's elimination has to be considered the worst decision ever to happen on American Idol…at least, until they cast Nicki Minaj. How many reality show cast-offs do you know that could turn right around and win an Oscar within three years for a musical singing role? To this day, Simon Cowell probably wakes up in a cold sweat having had nightmares about that elimination. Hudson has been incredibly smart both as a singer and an actress, waiting a decent amount of time before releasing a new album so as not to flood the market while taking only those roles that interest her, as opposed to for a paycheck (We'll assume that Three Stooges was a case of temporary insanity.) Hudson has won a Grammy and an Oscar, putting her halfway to to joining the incredibly rare company of EGOT winners; a recurring role on Smash this season could conceivably get her one step closer.
4. Ice-T
Ice-T is probably the most prominent example of a rapper who acts. Yes, Will Smith is obviously more of an A-lister than Ice, but Smith also feels like an actor who used to rap, and sometimes does it again just because he's bored. Ice has always felt like someone who is interested in doing both and whether he's copping it up in his twelve years-and-counting stint as Fin on Law & Order, directing and producing work like his 2012 documentary Something From Nothing: The Art Of Rap or even appearing on his terrible reality show Ice Loves Coco, you never forget that he's got his feet planted firmly in both worlds with no inclination to stop doing either. And unlike Ice Cube, his acting career hasn't downward spiralled into half-assed family fare.
3. Jared Leto
I've always really wanted to hate 30 Seconds to Mars. As a rule I dislike actors who think they can turn out music careers just because they're stars (I'm looking at you two, Keanu Reeves and Russell Crowe) and Leto's alt-rock band strongly gives that impression when you first hear about them. The problem is that they're just so damned enjoyable to listen to. I've tried to successively dislike all three of the Requiem for a Dream star's LPs–their self-titled debut, A Beautiful Lie and This is War–before I finally gave up. Yes, Leto is a pretty boy who is a bit too full of himself, and yes 30 Seconds to Mars contains the trappings of the emo bands I generally despise. But I dig his work both as an actor and a rocker.
2. David Bowie
David Bowie's music always had a strong element of the theatrical to it, so there probably shouldn't have been much surprise that he ended up crossing over. In truth, Bowie was beginning his acting career before he broke through and became a musical star. He studied avant-garde theater under famed mime artist Lindsay Kemp and appeared in Kemp's 1967 theatrical production Pierrot in Turquoise and appeared in a short film in 1969. His more well-known acting career kicked off in 1976 with The Man Who Fell To Earth and from that point forward Bowie was a double-threat. Whether adopting the Ziggy Stardust stage persona or playing Jareth in Labryinth, Bowie has channeled his intense charisma and artistic spirit in a variety of ways, and we can imagine he will continue to do so for quite some time. Also…if you don't like "Magic Dance" (as seen below), it is possible that you don't have a soul. Just sayin'.
1. Frank Sinatra
There are a lot of singers who can act, and a lot of actors who can sing. There are a very few who are singer/actors, and those that do follow the path that Frank Sinatra blazed. The leader of the Rat Pack created some of the most iconic music of the twentieth century and established an equally-iconic presence in film, so much so that actors and musicians from all walks of life have tried to emulate him. To be frank and to put it bluntly, anyone who attempts to cross over from one form of media to the other not only has Sinatra to thank, but will probably remain (as a singer/actor combo, at least) forever in his shadow. He is the prototypical double threat.
