Pumpkin Patch Fundraisers was started 31 years ago. Most of its pumpkins are grown on a farm in the Navajo reservation near FarmingtcHi, N.M.

On Sept. 29, Parker's Web site, www.parker fortexas.com, was seeking donations and offering merchandise with the slogan "Greg Parker, Republican for Railroad Commissioner." It has yet to be determined if the site puts Parker in violation of the "resign to run" provision of the Texas Election (>()de, which requires that a county commissioner with more than one year left in his or her term resign before running for another ofiBce. Parker has three years left in his current term. On Oct. 2, Scheel said he would be seeking affidavits from anyone contacted by Precinct 3 commissioner for campaign donations, and then askTexas Attorney General Greg Abbott to rule on the matter. "I have not yet received any affidavits," said Scheel Friday, after being out of town for the majority of the week. "If anyone was solicited for a contribution for that particular office, I would appreciate them calling me." Scheel said he would also like to speak to anyone with whom Parker might have declared his candidacy, and that he would sit down with Comal County District Attorney Geoff Barr next week to discuss seeking the attorney general's opinion. Current Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams is a candidate to fill the U.S. Senate seat of gubematorial hopeful Kay Bailey Hutchison.

Comments about Bosch Electrical Fuel Pump Kit:
Had a bad fuel pump in a 2.3L 2001 Ford Ranger Ext Cab XLT. Owner went with the pump only option as opposed to the whole assembly. This meant their fuel gauge would read as before the pump swap. When you swap out the whole assembly the fuel gauge reading may change. While it was easy enough to swap out the fuel pump and the fuel pump was a close replacement - uses a different wiring connector (provided), the rubber hose that came with the pump was too short to replace the hose that had to be removed off of the existing pump causing us to have to purchase 12 inches of fuel line. We also had to use slightly larger hose clamps than came in the kit. Kit also does not include a pump fuel filter which is mandatory to replace when swapping out the pump. These additional items that had to be purchased made for a less than perfect kit.

Comments about Bosch Electrical Fuel Pump Kit:
Does not fit a 2000 ford ranger 4.0 4x4 supercab with 126" wheel base,the wiring harness only has 2 wires and does not accept the wires for the fuel float or ground and even the 2 wire connection does not fit the connection at the top of the housing

Comments about Bosch Electrical Fuel Pump Kit:
Buying the fuel pump seperate was a cheaper alternative to replacing the entire fuel pump assembly. It didn't take much more effort to remove the pump from the housing. Detailed instructions would have helped it along and taken out some guess work, but we figured it out.

Ordered Trillium and Keen Howser. Howser went back, they were very warm but had no arch support. Trillium has a tennis shoe bottom with a nice cushy Keen foot bed insert that offers arch support around the house on my wood and tile floors. I am very happy with these!
Verified Buyer Reviewed by Janet from Bay Area on Monday, November 9, 2015I now have two pairs. So comfy and warm with good arch support. Perhaps buy a half size smaller if you will be wearing these barefoot. With socks, buy regular size.
Reviewed by Lone Tree Girl from Colorado on Saturday, September 5, 2015I love these slippers. They are good for summer or winter, sturdy, good to just walk to the post box or or lounge around the house. Hope I can find a replacement for them when I need it.
Verified Buyer Reviewed by Momofmany from Northern New York on Tuesday, April 28, 2015These were stiff and heavy - not at all what I expected from Keen. They felt flat and not even comfortable for doing outside walking.
Verified Buyer Reviewed by Patzy from Minnesota on Monday, April 27, 2015I wear them for a house shoe. My last wool slippers cost twice as much and I would compare them the same in quality and comfort

"These are described in one place as having a fleece lining and in another as having a wool felt lining. Does anyone know what kind of lining they have?
The lining to my slippers is not fleece. It looks more like wool felt to me, but there is nothing on the slipper itself that identifies the material.

The Executive Life; In a Fast Lane On the Data Highway
By Anne Thompson;
Published: November 21, 1993
I'm an entrepreneur,
Why do I feel like a gunslinger,
Or a buffalo hunter,
Or a dinosaur,
Here, on what was the unfettered frontier,
Of free enterprise? -- "That Sinking Feeling," by Yankee Jones, "Briefcase Poetry, Volume 2," 1981.
"I'M NOT in the cable business," insists Glenn R. Jones, chairman and chief executive of Jones Intercable Inc., Jones Spacelink Ltd., Jones International Ltd. and Mind Extension University. "I'm in the business of extending the human mind."
Certainly, Mr. Jones, 63, is not your everyday cable executive. The owner of 23-year-old Jones Intercable, the country's seventh-largest cable operator, which owns or manages 44 cable systems serving 1.4 million subscribers in California, New York and 18 other states, sees himself as a visionary pioneer on the information highway, an entrepreneur/ risk-taker, a poet of technology. He works from a high-tech headquarters in Denver. And he reads voraciously, cites science fiction easily and writes books and poetry (as Yankee Jones).
Like Ted Turner, Mr. Jones is also producing his own programming. In 1989, he founded the Jones Entertainment Group, which produced the current release "Household Saints." And like other cable moguls, Mr. Jones has recently seen his wealth ballooning -- Intercable's shares are up nearly 70 percent since May, trading at around $17 last week -- as Wall Street has become bullish on cable's role in the future delivery of home entertainment. Witness Bell Atlantic's deal for Tele-Communications, the nation's largest cable operator, and the battle between Viacom and QVC Network for Paramount Communications. Indeed, Intercable and Spacelink themselves may merge to help attract a partnership deal or capital from Pacific Telesis or Bell Canada.
"The entertainment business," Mr. Jones says, "impacts the human mind, which is the determination point of the electronic highway. The brain is a three-pound electrochemical device that cooks along at about 25 watts, mostly glucose. It's really the world's first computer."
Mr. Jones's mix of management philosophy and technological jargon suggests a cross between Carl Sagan and Ross Perot. To keep up with the latest ideas, Mr. Jones often buys $500 worth of books at a time and stuffs them into three backpacks, keeping one in the office, one on his five-seater jet and one in the trunk of his white Mercedes. At his Frank Lloyd Wright-style home in Denver, he just finished reading a biography of Jefferson and has started one on John Paul Jones.
"Those people," he said, "talked about the idea of individual freedom and the concept of self-government -- a delicate, tenuous experiment still going on because it was based on having an informed electorate, which brings you right into education. Our democracy needs to become more electronic."
The education of America is Mr. Jones's passion. He has lavished some $30 million on his Mind Extension University since he founded it in 1987 to provide college classes -- with credit -- by cable. This type of education, he said, would not have worked before the advent of the VCR, with its taping capabilities.
Right now, 25.5 million subscribers to basic cable systems that carry the MEU channel can watch classes for free, but those seeking credit must enroll at one of the 26 universities. The schools, which charge MEU students less than the full cost of actually attending class, include the University of California at Berkeley, George Washington University, the University of Maryland and Colorado State. Currently, Mr. Jones said, 36,000 students are enrolled in at least one course.
Linda Roberts, special adviser on technology for the United States Education Department, gives Mr. Jones credit for being on the cutting edge of the information highway. "Mind Extension University is a very important example of how we can use today's technological systems, whether cable or interactive fiber," she said.
While he is proud of his educational mission, Mr. Jones is a bit defensive about MEU's for-profit status as well as its current lack of profits. "It is a legitimate purpose of the private sector to focus upon and help resolve the intractable problems of our culture," he insisted. He added: "I'm taking the risks. And it's un-American for me not to make a profit somewhere down the line -- about three years."
Mr. Jones is used to being called crazy -- like a fox.
"We started small when people didn't understand the limited partnership concept" in acquiring cable systems, he said, "so we had to form our own securities company. We raised $152,000 with the first limited partnership, then started raising $33 million and $55 million at a clip. It was un-American at the time, but it became mainstream when I raised $200 million. Since 1972, we've raised $1.3 billion in capital. We have 170,000 limited partners."
In many ways, Mr. Jones is already living the future. Of the company's 3,600 employees in the Denver area, 350 work in the suburb of Englewood in a glass office building with a helicopter pad. Fiber-optic and coaxial cables snake under the floors. Mr. Jones's circular office has 16 television sets and a computer that can manipulate several satellite dishes. At the center of the building is an atrium, featuring a big reflecting pool with an island.
In a ceremony in the atrium each year, Mr. Jones honors one of his employees for a job well done. The employee receives the award on the island as colleagues watch and bagpipes play.
"There's a lot of poetry in business," Mr. Jones said. "Hard as it is."

Lettie Blackett - Art And Sole Reflexology
07789 931362
About me
Hello, I'm Lettie and I run Art and Sole Reflexology. I offer home visits for female clients in South London. Appointments are also available at HealthHub, a private medical clinic in the heart of Herne Hill.
I came to reflexology with my own need to cope with stress, anxiety and 'brain fog'. It helped me feel energised with a clear head and inner sense of calm. Since discovering it, I have never looked back and am so happy that I am now able to offer it to other people.
If you have been injured or are lacking energy, reflexology can help to restore balance and coax your body into healing itself. It can also be very beneficial for treating stress and anxiety as well as sleep problems, back pain, arthritis, headaches, poor digestion, irritable bowel syndrome, respiratory problems, asthma, bladder problems, menopausal symptoms, period pain, infertility and hormonal imbalances.
Client review:
"I realised I hadn't experienced skilled reflexology until Lettie began her work on my feet! She has really helped me come out of an ME relapse I went through recently. Her touch is firm, sure but gentle and she is lovely to be with. She brings her wonderful chair and music to my home and offers so much more than I have ever experienced with other reflexologists. She also charges no more than most others. Now I am feeling better I intend to continue seeing Lettie once or twice a month as part of my plan to remain as healthy and energetic as I can."

|Re: Extending the OpenJPA implementation
|Tue, 15 Aug 2006 17:35:45 GMT
> So that's basically it for combining ConfigurationProviders and > ProductDerivations into a single service. In a followup email I'll > address how we can give ProductDerivations the ability to extend > the EMF, etc. Adding the ability to extend EMFs though a ProductDerivation is actually easy. Only the OpenJPAPersistence.toEntityManagerFactory helper creates EMFs. So all we need to do is use our PersistenceProductDerivation to add a lib.conf.PluginValue (or maybe a custom Value if you want to continue to pass the delegate BrokerFactory into the EMF's constructor rather than create a setter for it) to the Configuration in beforeConfigurationLoad. This Value determines what class of EMF to create. The default will be our EntityManagerFactoryImpl, but a later ProductDerivation for a specific extended product could change the default to some extended type. Then we modify OpenJPAPersistence.toEMF to use this Value to instantiate the right EMF type. While we're at it, we change OpenJPAPersistence.toEM to create the EM through the EMF so that the EMF can generate its own EM subclass, rather than constructing an EM directly as it does now. Given the ability to specify a custom EMF type above, I doubt you'd need to create a custom PersistenceProviderImpl +ConfgurationProviderImpl pair. However, if you wanted to do this, you could. The PersistenceProviderImpl extension is obviously easy, as the persistence.xml file specifies it. But recall that that wouldn't cover cases where the user invokes a cmd-line tool and we still have to load specialized configuration. According to my last email, though, we'll now loop over the ProductDerivations when loading conf from most to least derived (based on the derivations getType() return value). So the ProductDerivation for your extended product will be invoked before the standard PersistenceProductDerivation when looking for conf, and you can therefore return your own ConfigurationProvider type (or do as Patrick mentioned and modify the standard one to accept the expected provider class as a parameter). There's one last problem, and that is systems with multiple OpenJPA extended products available. If you've got Kodo and ExtendedOpenJPAProductX in your classpath, chances are they'll attempt to overwrite each other's configuration defaults and so forth. That's the case now, and what I've proposed thus far does nothing to alleviate it. I think we could probably figure something out where the extended product looks for its own PersistenceProvider type in persistence.xml when attempting to load() conf, (this is a good reason to extend PersistenceProviderImpl even when not necessary), and the resulting ConfigurationProvider somehow records this info in the Configuration such that other product extensions can check to see if they're compatible with whatever originally loaded the Configuration in their beforeConfigurationLoad, etc callbacks. I don't think this is critical right now and I obviously haven't worked out any details, but it might be something we'll want to tackle eventually. - _______________________________________________________________________ Notice: This email message, together with any attachments, may contain information of BEA Systems, Inc., its subsidiaries and affiliated entities, that may be confidential, proprietary, copyrighted and/or legally privileged, and is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity named in this message.

Global and Regional Studies Program wins NAFTA Mobility Grant
by Luis Vivanco, GRS Director
The Global and Regional Studies Program has, along with Georgia Southern University, won a FIPSE North American Mobility in Higher Education Program grant. Commonly called a "NAFTA Mobility Grant" because the free-trade agreement calls for student mobility, it is a substantial grant that provides funding to create a consortium of six universities in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada to send and receive exchange students.
Over the next four years, the grant provides our GRS program with funding to help create the consortium, as well as scholarships for eight UVM students to study abroad at other consortium universities between Fall 2012 and Spring 2015. Other members of the consortium include, in Canada, Wilfrid Laurier University (Ontario) and the University of New Brunswick, and, in Mexico, the Universidad Veracruzana (Veracruz) and Tecnológico de Monterrey (Mexico City campus). This grant will be especially appealing to students in Global Studies, Latin American Studies, and Canadian Studies, as well as students in foreign languages.
Grant winners must identify and develop curricular and extracurricular programming around a particular theme. In our case, the consortium will focus on investigating how perceptions and misperceptions within each NAFTA country about the others shapes public policy, such as immigration and social services policies. It also explores the conditions under which continental—as opposed to strictly national—frameworks for policy can emerge or be developed.

Belle/Adam: Dreams Upon a Rose
I couldn't fall asleep. It was impossible. Even though my body was ready to collapse with exhaustion, sleep refused to grace me. I lay awake, next to my beautiful Belle. Turing my head, I saw she had no trouble falling into sleep's open embrace. Her brown hair cascaded over her shoulders, her eyes fluttered behind her delicate eyelids. Her breath was slow and steady as it passed in and out of her pink lips.
I reached towards her adn ran a finger gently across the soft conturs of her face. She sighed in her sleep at my touch. I leaned over and planted a kiss on her forehead. I pulled back and smiled.
I was so lucky to have found her.
Softly, I tossed the covers off myself and got out of bed. I crept across the room and out of the dorr. Silently, I made my way to the library. Opening the grand doors, I was welcomed with a ghastly sight.
My Belle.
But -- no. Belle was-- she couldn't have --. But there she was.
Still on the library floor; her blood staining the Persian rugs.
I rushed over to her. I cradled her against me, crying.
What happened?
I had just left her, safe and content in our room. But now --
Something glowed gently in my peripheral vision. Craning my neck, I saw that the glow orginated from behind a small couch-side table. As I watched, the glowing orb gravitated toward me. As it got closer, the light began to pulsate; quicker, faster. I was too shocked to do anything. The closer it got, the brighter it became until I was nearly blinded. As it was, I had to close my eyes against its brightness.
When I opened them again, I was lying in bed. My Belle was beside me, safe and unharmed. My eyes closed as I told myself It was only a dream. Only a dream.
I didn't notice the rose that had appeared on the table beside us. Or it's softly, pulsating glow.
That was last week. In the many days that had passed, dreams like those had kept my from peaceful sleep. It was getting to the point that I didn't want to wake up for fear of not knowing if I was really in fact, awake.
Belle was becoming concered. I would notice her looking at my strangely out of the corner of my eye and when she asked me about it, I told her I was fine.
That, of course, wasn't true.
I had to get away, I had to clear my head. It seemed every time my eyelids fell, I was acosted by horrifying dreams, terrifying nightmares. They became so vivid, so tangible, I could no longer distinguish between reality and dream. These dreams had driven me to extremes. One night, when I saw my Belle lying lifeless once again, I nearly took my own life. These had to stop.
Looking out the window, at the moon shinning full and bright, questions bounced around inside my head. Why was this happening? Who was behind it all? Was I going crazy? What is happening?
"Master?" a voice said.
I turned. Standing in the doorway, was Lumiere. A look of concern passed over his face as he continued, "Master, what are you doing up so late? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Lumiere," I said. "Just a little... restless."
"If there is anything you require...?"
Lumiere nodded, and walked back out the door. I turned once again to the window, gazing at the moon. Taking in a deep breath, I pushed the window open. Silently, I crawled out the window and leapt onto the castle grounds. I ran towards the forest that surrounded us. I needed answers, and I would find them one way or another.
No sooner than the darkness of the trees fully enveloped me, the world started shifting. I stood, frozen, as the trees, shrubs, and bushes began twisting and reforming before my eyes.
Another dream?
No, a voice whispered. Not a dream at all.
Just before a heavy blackness covered me, I knew. I knew who was behind it all.
"FAERITAYL!" I roared.

The 411 Music Top Five 11.20.12: The Top 5 Musical Things To Be Thankful For in 2012
5. Spotify
Make no mistake, I still have some issues with the Facebook-centric app for streaming and sharing so very much great music both under the sun and under the radar. I don't necessarily like that it costs a premium to enjoy the app on my Android phone. Initially, its instant sharing of my musical proclivities with my fellow Facebook users rubbed me the wrong way. Some of us just want to enjoy our guilty pleasures in peace, thanks.
But in the end, I believe only Pandora, Soma.FM and a certain higher-ranking social platform to be mentioned have helped me dig deeper into more music that I love. I've had a rough year financially, so I cherish the moments that I can enjoy the Lumineers, Mumford & Sons, Lupe Fiasco, Placebo and other acts conspicuously missing from my iTunes for lack of funds.
4. Garfunkel & Oates
This belongs here on a few fronts. First of all, the folksy comedy duo of Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci are absolutely hilarious. Their rise has coincided with Lindhome snagging more acting work and the excellent "Making It with Riki Lindhome" podcast via Nerdist, while Micucci continues to be her persistently adorable self on Raising Hope. Second, they're further proof of the phenomenal power of that same aforementioned social platform to launch artists that traditional avenues won't give the time of day for Heaven-knows-what reason.
Third reason? They're supposedly playing in Scottsdale on New Year's Eve, and come Hell or high water, I will ride a tricycle from Wichita back to Phoenix if it means making that show.
3. YouTube
Psy. Pomplamoose. Julia Nunes. Lauren O'Connell. Devinsupertramp. Garfunkel & Oates. The AV Byte Brothers.
Whatever your thoughts on that first one, there's no denying that the world's most prolific and omnipresent video host has easily been the kind of backdoor for fresh artists that the likes of MySpace and Napster once drew up many moons ago. Video killed the radio star, but since radio has become a homogenized altar to mediocrity and the lowest-common denominator and MTV has forsaken its very roots, YouTube is letting experimental musicians blaze their own trails into consciousness.
2. Radio Dead Air
Nash Bozard has been hosting his five-hour weekly internet radio show at http://live.radiodeadair.com every Monday night for nearly 13 years. Incredibly, that wasn't what hooked me on it. If you've read nearly any edition I've penned of "Music's 3 Rs," you know that I'm a devout booster of Channel Awesome and ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com, and it was there that I first checked out his hilarious weekly RDA segment "What The F#$% Is Wrong With You?!" in both its scripted-web-show and live on-air formats. Eventually, I caved to curiosity and checked out the live show. Now, it's usurped watching WWE Raw among my priorities.
It started as an audio-only podcast. Today, it's a combination talk, music videos by request, WTFIWWY, and even a segment called "The Invisibles" during which Nash spotlights great music that never got the luxury of a music video. It's broadened my horizons and made me laugh at times it was hard for me to do either. Plus, nearly every Monday at 7 p.m. MT, I drop all else that I'm doing and meet two of my friends for a Facebook chat to coincide with watching the show in peace.
If you've a geeky bone in your body, check it out. Hell, it's on tonight. What are you waiting for? Tune in. Turn on. Drop dead.
1. Lindsey Stirling
Anybody who's talked to me for five minutes about music over the last 10-11 months or so has had at least one ear talked off about her.
Seriously, the video below might be the most compelling single argument that the death of the music video on television has been a tragedy. Once told by the likes of Piers Morgan and Sharon Osbourne on America's Got Talent that she'd never be a top draw as a solo act and that she should be strictly part of a group, the dynamic dubstep/hip-hop violinist (yes, you read that correctly) embarked on a 2011 U.S. tour marked by numerous stops that forced her to swap out her venues on fairly short notice …. because ticket demand kept eclipsing the scheduled venues' capacities. I could point to any single video of hers to make the same point: that it's a travesty that Taylor Swift notches sales in the millions, whereas far fewer could pick Stirling out of a crowd. It's always this one, though, that leaves me spellbound.
Honorable Mention:
Underground scene in metal is still strong: My top two picks for underground metal albums of the year are, 'White Hoarhound' by Alunah, and 'Composition of Flesh' by Corrosive Carcass. I am thankful that metal is still alive and the underground and hope that it stays strong there, as well.
5. Spotify Having Most of the Larger Metal Albums for the Year
I know Spotify isn't exactly the newest game in town anymore. But I still really love the service. I had been planning on doing a Top 50 metal albums of 2012, so I look on Spotify and they have almost everything that I look up. It's free and has a killer selection, what more do I have to be thankful for with this one?
4. Iron Maiden Running a Full US Tour
It's been what feels like forever since Iron Maiden have decided to do a country wide tour of the good ol' U.S. of A. This year they started it in Charlotte, North Carolina. While I did not get to see it, I have on good authority that it was tits. I think that this is the concert of the year, especially if you caught them with Alice Cooper, because those are two amazing shows right there, and nobody knows how much longer either band have left tour wise.
3. Dave Mustaine
How can I not be thankful for Dave Mustaine? The dude practically writes my column for me. For those who don't read my column (and shame on you if you don't….that's how I'll get viewers, shaming), Dave Mustaine has a very honest political opinion, and I can respect him for it. But just like other musicians who say things about politics and come to hear about it later (Hi, Kanye and George Bush doesn't care about black people). Dave says many political things, and some of the things he says can be a bit extreme, and it makes for fun writings. So here, here, MegaDave. I am thankful for your music, but I love the fact that you talk to the press even more!
2. Van Halen
They are back! Their new album was pretty great (we'll get to that in a second) and plus, Diamond Dave is BACK! I personally have never been much for Sammy Hagar (or Chickefoot, poor Satch), and thought that he did a decent job with Van Halen, but I think that a lot of people will agree with me that David Lee Roth is the best man for the job when it comes to fronting the band. EVH still sounds as good as ever on the new album, just totally great. I think the coolest part out of all of this is that the people of America actually went and bought this album and got it up to #2 on the Billboard 200. Here's to another great album, and I think we can at least be thankful for the one that we got.
1. The Fact That Old Bands Are Still Coming Out With Quality Material
I think that this is the thing that we can all be thankful for in 2012. Too many times do we see a great band try to come back with a new album, and too many times have we seen that band just fall on their face with an embarrassment of an album. This year, we didn't see much of that at all. My Top 5 albums of the year list at the moment. My Top 3 albums come from bands that were formed before I was born. Rush, Testament, and Candlemass are those bands, of course. We also had very solid releases from Van Halen, Saint Vitus, Kiss, Grave, Cannibal Corpse, , Angel Witch, Creator, and we'll be getting one from Destruction very soon. I know that this isn't only a 2012 thing, but it is something that I think really will help build a lot of people's metal repertoire, finding new music by old bands, and then going to find the old music. This year was killer for all metal and hard rock, but I think that for the older bands, this year was that much sweeter.
Honorable Mention: Rush & Deep Purple Getting Nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Sean Having Thought of Garfunkle & Oates After I Forgot
5. Spotify
We all love Spotify. Why do we do so? Because without it, we'd all be a lot poorer. More to the point, Spotify has been a huge boom to the music industry. Many music fans have found their tastes expanding because these days it is easy to try something out. You just listen via streaming and if you like it, your horizons have been expanded. I've listened to a ton of albums I wouldn't have done if Spotify hadn't let me do so. I know that the service launched in the US in 2011, but 2012 is really when it became alive and taken seriously as a music service, with many major artists who were holding out signing on. I hope that Spotify is around for a long time because it's been a serious bonus to me as a music fan.
4. Classic Bands Reuniting
Black Sabbath. Aerosmith. The Rolling Stones. Van Halen. Garbage. The Beach Boys. All of these great bands came back together in 2012. I'm not going to say they were all entirely successful (Robert and I are of two very different minds about Van Halen's A Different Kind of Truth), but they all came back and didn't flop commercially. Earlier in the year we did a top five worst reunions, and let's be honest; any of these reunions, or the many others I didn't mention, easily could have made the list. But none of them did. Statistically, at least one of them should have flopped but it didn't happen. That's far more impressive than we would like to admit, and kudos to all of them.
3. Rock Music Becomes More Prevalent
Let's be honest, peeps…it's been a bad few years for rock music. While rap and pop have dominated the charts and even country is unstoppable within its demographic, rock has been largely left by the wayside for quite a long while. 2012 has been the year that rock started to make a comeback. In addition to the previously-mentioned classic bands re-upping, you had the return of groups who hadn't broken up like Rush, who had the highest-charting album of theirs in almost twenty years. You had Slash's solo album rocking the charts and big-time releases by the likes of Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson and more which were all comeback albums for each of their respective artists. You had a bit of diversification of indie rock once again so it became less of a homogenized morass of artists, the rise of groups like Mumford and Sons into rock superstars and more. It was actually a very good year for rock music and one can hope that we see the trend continue in 2013.
2. The Rise of More Sophisticated Pop Music
While I am more of a rock music fan than I am a pop music fan, I am more thankful for the growth of pop music for one simple reason: it is more prevalent than rock and as a result its growth makes more of an overall improvement on the music landscape than the further integration of rock. Sadly, we cannot yet report that overproduced and underwritten pop tripe is a thing of the past. The fact that Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" is one of the biggest songs of the year is proof of that. But 2012 accomplished something that I truly didn't think possible; it saw pop music continue to branch out beyond the dance-pop obsession that has taken hold of the genre for the past couple years and even more surprisingly, it did so while its greatest force for change, Adele, was pretty much on the sidelines with her vocal surgery and then pregnancy. While Adele was having a private life (and more power to her for doing so), indie pop saw a rise with the likes of Ellie Goulding, Lana Del Ray, Amanda Palmer and others putting out albums that were quite successful in each their own way; Palmer's Theatre is Evil hit the top 10 without any kind of studio involvement whatsoever. Now, you can dislike these artists, but you have to admit that they're putting out better stuff than the cardboard cutout songs we hear from the likes of The Wanted, Jepsen, Justin Bieber and so on throw out there. Pop music isn't going away so I'm thankful that it's evolving, even if only by small steps.
1. The 411 Music Readers
D'awwwww. Yeah, I know, call me a sappy old bastard or a pandering little jackass but this is true. Listen, if we didn't want to do this stuff, we wouldn't have to. I promise you, we can find other ways to occupy our time. But we love music. Sure, we don't all agree on our favorite genres or bands and there are times it is probably best that we're discussing such topics through the internet and not face to face where bashing implements may be within reach, but what unites us all is that we truly, epically love music. And we love to write about it. And without you guys, we may as well be writing on a private LiveJournal that no one will ever have access too. You guys are (mostly) a great group of people who are as equally passionate about music as we are. You keep us honest, you provide feedback (sometimes even constructive feedback!) and you can always find that one option we forgot to include in whatever list we're putting together on a particular day. In the end, without you, there would be no us and that's why I'm most thankful for you than for anything else. Say it again with me…..D'awwwwwwwwwwww.

5. Artist – "Song": Why you chose it

The Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is not planning to buy any new players in the January transfer window, despite revealing that Chelsea's spending spree upped the pressure on his team to regain the premier league title.
The Londoners, double winners in 2001-02, added only German keeper Jens Lehmann to their squad in the close season while Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich splashed out more than £100mon fresh talent from around Europe. Wenger told a news conference on Tuesday he could see no immediate need to bolster his squad, joint second with Chelsea, a point behind leaders Manchester United.
"At the moment I'm not in the market," he said. "Money is available. If I change my mind, I'll let you know but we don't want to buy for the sake of buying."
"The fact that Chelsea and Manchester United bought so many players pushed us to think, come on, if we want to be up there we really have to go for it, and that's maybe why we are still there," he added.
"We have big confidence and the players feel they've worked very hard to be in an ideal situation, but they know that Man United and Chelsea are there. The hunger from not winning [the league] last year is there."
Chelsea have indicated their Russian billionaire owner may curb his spending during the January transfer window.
Wenger, whose team play bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers at Highbury on Friday, believes Arsenal's experience as a unit gives them an edge over Chelsea who have only been playing together this season.
Alex Ferguson's United may be looking for a replacement for defender Rio Ferdinand, who was banned for eight months by the Football Association last week for missing a drugs test.
The Arsenal manager said he was delighted with Lehmann's success following his move in July from Borussia Dortmund.

By Gary Strauss, USA TODAY
The Dude and America's Sweetheart picked up best-acting awards at Sunday's 82nd annual Academy Awards, but Hollywood's biggest night came down to a battle between the king of the box office world and the new queen of Hollywood.
WINNERS: Who got lucky on Oscar night?
RED CARPET GALLERY: Who ruled fashion's biggest show?
LIFELINE LIVE: Reports from the red carpet, backstage and beyond
The Hurt Locker, the gritty Iraq War drama about an Army bomb disposal squad, won best picture and nabbed an Oscar for Kathryn Bigelow, the first woman to win best director. She's the ex-spouse of fellow director nominee James Cameron, whose blockbuster Avatar was tied with Hurt Locker with a field-leading nine nominations but won just three statues. Hurt Locker wound up with six.
"This really is ... there's no other way to describe it, it's the moment of a lifetime," said Bigelow, 58. "I'd just like to dedicate this to the women and men who risk their lives on a daily basis in Iraq and Afghanistan and around the world, and may they come home safe."
Jeff Bridges won best actor for his portrayal of an alcoholic country singer in Crazy Heart. Sandra Bullock won best actress for portraying a nurturing mom in the feel-good football drama The Blind Side.
"Whew! Thank you Mom and Dad ... they loved showbiz so much," said Bridges. "This is as much honoring them as me."
Said Bullock: "Did I really earn this or did I really just wear y'all down?"
Their wins, which many critics had predicted, did little to overshadow the drama surrounding the two nominations leaders. Box office king Avatar, which has pulled in nearly $2.6 billion worldwide to date, picked up early Oscars for cinematography, art direction and visual effects but was shut out of top categories. Locker ($21.3 million to date) won for sound editing, sound mixing, film editing and original screenplay early on. The screenplay statue was accepted by Mark Boal, whose work was based on his experience as an embedded journalist with the Army in Baghdad.
"I would like to thank and dedicate this to the troops," Boal said. "The 115,000 still in Iraq. The 120,000 in Afghanistan, and the more than 30,000 wounded and 4,000 who have not made it home, and to my father, who did not live to see this. He died a month ago."
Both Bridges and Bullock had picked up Golden Globes and SAG awards this season. Perhaps best known for his role as The Dude in 1998's The Big Lebowski, Bridges, the son of the late actors Lloyd Bridges and Dorothy Dean Bridges, had been nominated five times.
Oscars watchers believed Bullock's main competition was Meryl Streep, nominated a 16th time for Julie and Julia.
Brassy, sassy Mo'Nique, best known for her TV comedic skills, won the best-supporting-actress Oscar for her dramatic role in Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire.
The stand-up comic and TV talk show host, 42, acknowledged Hattie McDaniel— the first African-American to win an Oscar, for 1939's Gone With the Wind— and thanked supporters including Tyler Perry, Oprah Winfrey and the academy, "for showing that it can be about the performance and not the politics."
Precious' Geoffrey Fletcher won for best adapted screenplay.
Austrian-born Christoph Waltz won best supporting actor for his work in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, the first major category winner Sunday.
"Quentin, with his unorthodox methods of navigation, took this ship across and brought it in with flying colors," said Waltz, 53. "This is your welcoming embrace, and I can never thank you enough, but I can start right now."
Among other winners, Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett won best song for their Crazy Heart theme, The Weary Kind, while Pixar's computer-animated Up won for best animated feature. The best animated short film Oscar went to Logorama.
Basterds was Waltz's first major Hollywood film. But the veteran European actor's win was hardly surprising — he'd already swept most major acting awards for his role as a duplicitous Nazi officer in Tarantino's World War II drama about Jewish-American soldiers spreading fear in Nazi-occupied France.
Earlier on the red carpet, Mo'Nique said she hoped Precious' bleak but ultimately uplifting story would be inspirational.
"It's changed my life inwardly, and we're hoping the message of this movie changes lives," she said. "And when that happens, everything is different, because people are healing."

Sampson (horse)
Sampson, a Shire horse gelding foaled in 1846 in Toddington Mills, Bedfordshire, England, is the tallest horse ever recorded.
Sampson, owned by Mr Thomas Cleaver, stood 21.2½ hands high (i.e. 7ft 2½in or approx 2.2m at his withers) by the time he was a four year old, when he was re-named Mammoth.
His peak weight was estimated at 3,360 lb (1,520 kg).[1] He was gelded at approximately 1 and a half years old, and his testicles were already the size of softballs.[2]

Swimming & diving recap: Rams finish fourth in Albuquerque Invitational
Nov. 3, 2012
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.—The Colorado State women's swimming & diving program struggled on Friday, and while it saw improvement during Day 2 of the Albuquerque Invitational on Saturday, the Rams still struggled, finishing fourth in the four-team competition.
"There were some people who came back today, but we're not where we need to be," Head Coach Christopher Woodard said. "The main thing right now is trying to put this weekend behind us, realize we have to put in the work and be ready for Tennessee in two weeks."
CSU fell to San Diego State, 143-179, New Mexico State, 151-5-182.5 and host New Mexico, 139-194.
Senior Breann Fuller was CSU's lone competition winner on the weekend, taking first place in the 200 Backstroke with a time of 2:03.55. Fuller also took second in the 100 Backstroke and third in the 50 Freestyle.
"She's fighting off a cold and her shoulder is hurting her a little bit," Woodard said. "It wasn't her best performance, but again, she stepped up and she leads by example."
On the boards, CSU competed well, but could have used freshman star Ariana Milone, who did not compete because of a hand injury she suffered while warming up last weekend.
In the 1-meter jumps, sophomore Mary Kate Hardy took fifth with a score of 251.45, while Maxelise Thorn, also a sophomore, placed sixth. Paige Greely and Chelea Kelly were sixth and ninth, respectively, out of 13 divers. From the 3-meter board, Thorn and Hardy were again among the best, finishing fifth and sixth. Greely competed well, placing seventh.
While Woodard was disappointed in his team's performance, he did see some encouragement by what he saw in some of his younger players.
"There's a big learning curve your first year of college," Woodard said, "but we have some girls who are adjusting to that well, girls who are swimming fast and competing well. I was happy with them, specifically Bailey (Williamson), Erica (Stock) and Jessica (Shepard).
Shepard finished third in the 100 Backstroke (58.30), Williamson was third in the 200 Butterfly (2:12.90) and Stock placed fourth in the 200 Breaststroke (2:26.35).
Additionally, senior Kelly Mathews finished second in the 100 Breaststroke (1:06.23) and third in the 200 Breaststroke (2:24.84)
After three competitions in three weeks, the Rams will get a chance to catch their breath. CSU's next competition will take place in two weeks, as the Rams travel to Knoxville, Tenn., to compete in an invitational against the Volunteers, Duke and Kentucky.
"A week without having to prepare for competition will give the girls a little bit of time to catch their breath and figure out exactly what we need to do moving forward," Woodard said.

The Soto quadruplets had grown up in the public eye. As Arizona's first quads, they were quite used to all the attention and when they went to the Pima County Fair on April 18, 1979, it was no different. From left, Annette, Yvette, Suzette and Bernadette enjoyed a ride on the merry-go-round. Although the 9-year-old girls were identical in looks, according to their parents, they had very different personalities. Read more about Tucson's past in Tales from the Morgue at http://regulus2.azstarnet.com/blogs/morguetales">go.azstarnet.com/morguetales Today's entry is on a very special tradition that began in Tucson fifty years ago today.
