This article was a complete joy to read. Very Refreshing from the articles I have been reading online since Aurora.
Drawing the wrong lessons from horrific events - CNN.com
Overall, considering the source, it is especially good. It does include a line about how our "gun deaths are exceptionally high". I guess CNN couldn't resist...
The writer did say the number of American gun deaths was extremely high, but he also said that it had less to do with guns than the state of mental health in this country. I believe this is a far more accurate assessment of any argument regarding gun control and the prime reason why gun control will never accomplish a lessening of violent crime. The real answer has no simple fix and includes nothing a politician could use to his/her advantage.
Pretty good analysis from an average Joe, per se'.
His statement right here says it all...
It's strangers by whom we fear being murdered, kidnapped, raped and assaulted, when it's far more likely that any perpetrator of such offenses is a relative or a friend. We worry about airplane crashes and rampaging shooters instead of automobile crashes and domestic violence -- both of which are far more common and far, far more deadly
The theater shooting, a school shooting or the like, get way more attention, therefore they try our minds more than a lot of the day to day muggings, holdups and botched robberies where someone is killed, but that is more of a likelyhood that the former.
The world really is coming to an end...
I'll have to read the article later, but I'm impressed

A husband on board missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 left his wedding ring and watch with his wife and children as keepsakes in case something happened to him.
Mechanical engineer Paul Weeks, 39, was on his way to start a new job in Mongolia when the plane disappeared with 227 passengers and 12 crew on board.
Originally from New Zealand, Mr Weeks moved his young family to Perth, Australia, in 2011 to make a new start after their home in Christchurch was devastated by a series of earthquakes.
According to The Times, the ex-soldier had been offered a lucrative engineering position with a mining company in Mongolia and he was en route there via Kuala Lumpur and Beijing when Flight MH370 vanished.
His wife Danica told the newspaper he had left his wedding ring and watch with her to give to their sons Lincoln, 3, and Jack, one, when they married.
She said: "Paul said 'If something should happen to me, then the wedding ring should go to the first son that gets married and the watch to the second'."
Mrs Weeks said she is praying for a miracle - the safe return of her husband.
"I can't give up hope," she said.
"I would love him to walk through that door, hold him one more time."
A 100-nautical mile radius of the South China Sea is being searched for any trace of the plane, which disappeared on Saturday.
At least 10 countries are taking part in the search, which involves 40 ships and 34 aircraft.

About Dominica
The island sits midway along the Eastern Caribbean archipelago, just a few miles from Martinique to the south and Guadeloupe to the north. Its official name is the Commonwealth of Dominica, which is mostly referenced in official communiqués and to distinguish the island from its northerly Caribbean sister, the Dominican Republic.
Known as "The Nature Island," Dominica's tropical rainforests cover two thirds of the island, and are home to 1,200 plant species. Rivers, the largest boiling lake in the world streams, and waterfalls abound, fed by the island's high annual rainfall. Its volcanic physique points to extensive geothermal activity – even underwater. The Morne Trois Pitons National Park was the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in the eastern Caribbean.

"Excellent products and wonderful services (proven!!) will be using your good company again in near future, for sure !! Thanks (Hello from Indonesia)"
Iman Endro W - Indonesia - Feb 20, 2013
"I found Gift Baskets Overseas doing an online search and I can tell you - they are fantastic. Our son is overseas in the Czech Republic and I wanted to surprise him for his birthday - 21st - and everything that Gift Baskets said they would do - they did. They went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that this gift was received by my son. It was so important to us and they realized it. I would recommend Gift Baskets overseas for anyone who wants exceptional gifts with exceptional service. And in today's world it is very hard to find businesses along with intelligent customer service that take responsibility and truly care! Thank you so much!!! "
P.T. Lopez - New Zealand - Nov 11, 2010
"My son and two granddaughters live in Singapore. My son teaches school there. When he first went there, I sent a "have a great school year" basket. It has become a tradition to do this-over 10 years, now. The place where I usually go to send my son's annual ''have a great school year'' basket, told me they could not do it any more. I was frustrated, to say the least. I don't ''do'' computers-except what I HAVE to. But, I typed in-send a fruit basket to Singapore...this place is what I chose. I am SO glad I did. The communication was pleasant/professional, the basket was sent expediently, and it had all the things that were suggested. My son LOVED his ''have a great school year'' basket. I am extremely pleased with Giftbasketsoverseas, and shall use them again."
Ms. Esther - Conway Arkansas, USA - Aug 13, 2014
"The service is simply excellent! I confess that I initially had several fears. But considering the positive reviews I decided to take the risk. I ordered a basket for Valentine's and it was delivered today to my husband who is working in Honduras (we're from Argentina). And he just called me very excited because he entered his room and found the gift. They delivered my gift promptly, right on time. And my husband said the gift was very cute. Also during these days their customer service constantly kept in touch with me to arrange the details. I recommend them without any hesitation."

Treasury Prices Lower As Investors Await Bank of Japan News
MARKETSCOPE : Treasury bond prices fell in range-bound trading on Wednesday, as investors waited to hear how the Bank of Japan will move on monetary policy.
The 10-year Treasury note eased 02/32 to 98-05/32 for a yield of 4.73%, while the 30-year bond fell 08/32 to 96-14/32 for a yield of 4.72%.
Japan's rising Consumer Price Index over the past few months has driven speculation that the BoJ will signal an end to quantitative easing, which has kept an upward bias under bond yields globally over the past week. Investors waited for news on Thursday about the Bank of Japan's two day policy meeting that started today.
Meanwhile St. Louis Fed President Poole said "housing activity will stabilize and remain at a high level this year." He thinks the Federal Open Market Committee "will keep underlying underlying inflation low and stable, and that the growth of real household income will recover nicely due to the waning influence of last year's spike in energy prices," wire service reports said.
Chicago Fed President Moskow said U.S. interest rates are currently in a neutral range but more increases may be needed. Moskow said core inflation is contained but has been running close to 2%, "the upper end of the range I feel is consistent with price stability" for most of the past year. "We need to be careful to monitor for the emergence of any economy-wide strains on resource utilization," he said.
News also hit that U.S. consumer credit rose by a less-than-expected $3.94 billion in January as car and boat loans slowed. The Federal Reserve said consumer credit outstanding rose to $2.162 trillion in January, rising at an annual rate of 2.2% from the revised $2.158 trillion in December.
The Mortgage Bankers Association said its seasonally adjusted index of mortgage application activity for the week ended March 3 increased 0.7% to 575.6 from the previous week's 571.5.

Wait and see if the oral antibiotics clear it up???
Is it a puss filled cyst or a hard cyst? If its just puss i would wait til the end of the season. However, if you can teach Woods to retrieve birds I would go ahead and give the dog surgery to remove it and not risk the dogs chances.

"The cake was absolutely fantastic. I got the best price of all the cake makers in Cartagena and possibly the best cake. They got all the details of the cake as I had requested them. The only bad thing is that they did not deliver the cake at the time that they had promised which made for a stressful afternoon just before the wedding."
Ceremony Musician:
Felipe MadarriagaCartagena, Bolivar, Colombia
"The music for the ceremony was great. He also arranged for music for the cocktail hour. We also hired him to arrange for a especial music demonstration during the reception as a surprise to my husband's family. Felipe made the musical arrangements for a string quartet for several pieces typical of the Canary Islands. This was such a especial concert and my husband and his family were blown away. I was so impressed with the quality of the arrangements."

"The service that we got from Casa del Arzobispado cannot be equaled by anyone. I live in the US and most of the planning was done through email. Edwin Camargo (the coordinator for CDA) was helpful, resourceful and very organized. The hotel was absolutely beautiful, and the staff so nice. My husband's family and mine stayed there for a few days around the wedding date and we had the best time. They took care of all the details related to the wedding: catering, decoration, entertainment. The food was great! we had a buffet style meal and it was very good. They accommodated for my vegetarian friend. The DJ and Orchestra were awesome, they had all the music that we requested and I did not stop dancing at all. My guests enjoyed the music and danced non stop."

"We stayed here before we moved to the wedding venue and had a wonderful stay. The price is really reasonable. The hotel is very clean and comfortable. The breakfast is really delicious. We left an edible gift in one of the hotel refrigerators and they managed to save it for us."

The simplest way to make your PC games look better is to buy a better graphics card. If you already have the best graphics card money can buy (one of these, perhaps), the next step is to install a duplicate and make them work together. Most savvy PC users have a machine with a discrete graphics card, but adding a second or even third card and running them together can lead to a big performance boost in demanding PC games.
This job can also be a little tricky, though the process has gotten much easier in the past decade. Consumer-class multi-GPU graphics configurations date all the way back to 1998 when 3dfx debuted the Voodoo 2 and the accompanying SLI, or Scan-Line Interleave technology. In those days, when two Voodoo 2 cards were installed in a system and configured properly, each card would alternate rendering odd and even scan lines. The end result was typically a huge increase in performance, with frame rates nearly double that of a single Voodoo 2.
[ FREE DOWNLOAD: 6 things every IT person should know ]
Most modern GPUs from Nvidia and AMD can be paired up to work together as well, but they work very differently than the Voodoo 2 of old. Modern graphics cards running in multi-GPU configurations typically render alternate frames or split a frame horizontally (or into tiles), with each GPU working on a particular portion of the frame. But pairing multiple graphics cards together still can substantially increase performance.
The process is actually pretty simple, so let's get started!
First: What's the deal with Crossfire/SLI?
Here are two words you need to know when it comes to multi-GPU rigs: Crossfire and SLI. Nvidia calls its multi-GPU rendering software SLI (short for Scalable Link Interface), in homage to 3dfx, though it's nothing like the old SLI system that shipped with the Voodoo2. Nvidia in fact acquired 3dfx a while back, leveraging that well-known brand, even though the underlying technology is quite different. AMD calls its multi-GPU rendering system CrossFire, presumably because it sounds cool.
SLI and CrossFire are fundamentally very similar. Two, three, or four separate graphics cards from the same product family (three Nvidia GTX 580s, for example, or a Radeon HD 7850 and an HD 7870) can be linked together within a system to distribute the workload of rendering graphics and (ideally) to increase performance.
Both Nvidia GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards feature one or two small edge connectors, usually along the top and front portion of the printed circuit boards. If a card has only one of these edge connectors, only two cards can be paired together for CrossFire or SLI operation. Cards with two SLI or CrossFire edge connectors, however, can be set up in two-, three-, or four-card configurations. The more GPUs that share a 3D workload, the better.
Because SLI and CrossFire are features specifically designed to increase performance in games, the technologies are ideally suited to gamers looking for higher frame rates. Having multiple graphics cards in a system brings some other side benefits as well, but we'll get to those later.
What to know before you go upgrading
Here are a few things to consider should you want to upgrade a system with a multi-GPU SLI or CrossFire setup. First off, you need a motherboard that has the necessary PCI Express x16 slots and that is also compatible with either or both technologies. You'll also need a case that can physically accommodate and cool the graphics cards and a strong enough power supply to feed the cards with adequate power.

Stopping by the bar to relax and have a nice cold beer. What could be better? How about if you just ran five miles?
The name says it all: Fishtown Beer Runners. They run, and then they go drink.
"I like to drink a local beer, I like to drink Kenzinger. The thing about drinking a beer after a run is the flavors are just amazing," said Fishtown Beer Runners co-founder David April. Every Thursday, the group heads out for at least a three-mile run and ends up in a bar or restaurant. There they raise their glasses and toast the man known as "The Professor."
"'The Professor' is the research scientist at the University of Granada in Spain who did hydration studies with beer. His name is Dr. Manuel Castillo. A friend of mine told me about his study that he did in 2007 about the benefits of having a beer after strenuous exercise," April said.
This odd combo of beer and running inspired filmmaker Justin Wirtalla to make a documentary about the Beer Runners. He said he's raising money so he can make the trip to Spain.
"Half of this story exists in Spain with the Professor and the science behind it, and I think it's a really important aspect to go and capture that because there are going to be studies with Beer Runners from Fishtown — with exercise and alcohol — and I'm going to be able to film all of this stuff."
Wirtalla said he was inspired to make the film after hearing the runners' stories about how the club has helped them lose weight as it's changed their lives.
"It's counterintuitive, but you know apparently beer has some hydrating aspects to it," he said.

tesko...great feedback...those OZ's are looking sharp! I can't believe I'm saying this but I much prefer the mesh look over the 5-spoke pattern. I did have a set of OZ's on my third car (97' Eagle Talon w/ factory 16's from a Mitsu GS-T) that I adored. They look very similar to the superleggras you posted without the bolts. IMO I think you should stick w/ a similar design to what you currently have or go w/ the CX-R's....I'm not a fan of the multi-spoke pattern that you have in the second pic, but again it's your ride and your preference! And yes I can attest to being an avid fan of black w/ silver, especially when the car is detailed from the ground up! Black is just a pain to keep clean, but when it's done right (I have a detailer that we take our cars too on a regular basis), it's undeniably gorgeous!
I can see why you're biased...BBS and OZ are fantastic wheels!

Hancock County man charged with multiple counts of child molestation
A 42-year-old Hancock County man faces multiple charges in connection with child molestation allegations.
Michael Spencer of New Palestine is charged with 24 counts of child molestation and other charges. He's accused of engaging in sex acts with three different girls and a boy on separate occasions.
All of the girls were minors at the time of the alleged incidents, and one of the girls told police she and Spencer had had sexual intercourse at least 100 times starting when she was around 12 or 13 years old. One of the other girls told police the molestation started when she was seven or eight years old.
The alleged incidents took place in New Palestine and in Greenfield, the most recent one taking place just three weeks ago, according to court documents.
The incidents occurred within the last 12 years, according to court documents.
The allegations came to light after one of the alleged victims confided in a friend, and told the friend about trading money for sex.
The victim also says Spencer threatened to kill her if she ever told anyone.
Michael Spencer's estranged wife Rebecca Spencer also faces charges. She's accused of knowing about the accusations but failing to report them.

We're always waiting for the next best thing hoping it will be the perfect game. Everyone was so excited for ESO and Wildstar and look how that turned out :'(
e: targeted combat and limited skill set, lame. But the passive/skill tree and spell animations look good

gw2 combat lol,
dodging system like wildstar
graphic is great tho
I'm not going to bother jumping on anymore hype trains but if it ever gets a NA release I'll try it.
Side note. I really need to upgrade my PC.
On topic: Thanks for posting this video. I only found out about this game a few days ago and my hopes are already crushed.
Skyforge has a long way to go to be on par with WildStar. It's graphically mind blowing but when I played it, the control scheme was still rather clunky. Selling action combat with a clunky dodging system just doesn't work well. But I will say their plans for character customization, if they pan out, will be the best thing we've seen since Path of Exile. And pulling that off in a 3D environment where each skill animation takes weeks instead of days would certainly make a splash in the industry.

Oh so this is what it's like. Still waiting for a game with something that feels like Vindictus in terms of the battle system but in an openworld enviroment (not sure if spelled right).
Is it weird, that watching this makes me want to play GW2 again?..
The graphics look amazing. The movement with those sidesteps in the beginning looks a bit clunky, but it's always hard to judge gameplay by watching videos, when you can't feel the controls yourself.
Wildstar combat is not like Skyforges.. People need to stop comparing like that. Wildstar combat is AoE based and also 99% action oriented. There is very little actual hard targeting in the game, and even if you do target a mob you still need to aim. Skyforge seems to have it similar to numerous games like Swordsman or even just a point and click. Everything is specific target and nothing seems to actually have to be aimed other than when targeting the mob.
Maybe things will change after Alpha, like they did with Blade and Soul (which had a Point and Click setup in Alpha).
Current Games:
No Man's Sky (PC)
Waiting for:
Chronicles of Elyria (PC)
meh that's just a target based mmo in disguise, nothing interesting
My feet hurt and I'm having trouble peeing.
This looks beautiful, really LOVE the UI and I see many interesting things even without understanding the dude speaking, have really high hopes for this.
wait, is this made by the same team that made archeage? (i know it's not but holy shit)
looks ridiculously similar, even down to animations and spell fx.
Last edited by Professor Cena; 07-11-2014 at 03:49 PM.
lol this looks nothing like AA and no it is not made by the same team...
I think the same publisher that hosts ArcheAge in Russia(mail.ru) is also picking up Skyforge.
Edited the first post to include the official upload with English subtitles if you guys were interested in knowing what was being said.

Zerro enables participants to share their experiences, articulate questions and hear about Jesus.
Zerro is used by young leaders in Russian-speaking countries who face a challenging environment to live for Jesus and make him known in their generation. Faced with a rapidly changing youth culture – influenced by its post-communist context, the impact of globalisation, and the influx of western influences – the church in Russian-speaking contexts often struggle to communicate the gospel to young people in a way that they can understand.
"For us it's a very fresh and new approach to the evangelism process. Most valuable in this material is its creativity-based approach - personal experiences and our stories, rather than mere information. I would like to help prepare young Christians at my church to invite seekers and new Christians to Zerro weekends." -Igor, a young leader in Eurasia
Through Zerro, Innovista seeks to help the church to reach the emerging generation in its local context. Since establishing in Kiev in 2003, we noticed that young people there were becoming active in sharing the gospel with their friends. We'd also seen that it can take a lot of time for young people to move from one step to another on their journey towards Christ. So we started asking ourselves what we might do to help facilitate that process.
We knew that among young people, media resources provide an important opportunity for the imaginative communication of the Biblical gospel.
Armed with this knowledge and building on our extensive experience of working closely with young people, Innovista pioneered Zerro in 2006. After a testing phase, the material was then made available to young leaders who use it to demonstrate the hope of Jesus to those around them. Retreat leaders on the weekend provide guidance, space and creative input to help facilitate life reflection and spiritual discussion amongst the group.

Payday Loan Alberta should be used only in emergencies, once you truly have zero other alternatives. When you take out a quick payday loan, and should not pay it back right away, certain things happen. First, you have to cover a fee to hold re-extending your loan before you can pay rid of it. Second, you retain getting charged a growing number of interest.
Make sure you borrow merely the bare minimum when trying to get Payday Loan Alberta. Many people have emergencies surface and need more money, but the interest rate over a payday loan is significantly higher than what you would pay to a bank or credit card company. Keep the costs of your respective loan lower by only borrowing things you need, whilst up with your payments,
If you do not know much in regards to a payday loan however are in desperate need for one, you might like to consult with a loan expert. This could even be a friend, co-worker, or family member. You want to be certain that you're not getting cheated, and that you know what you are getting into.

If you want to find an inexpensive payday loan, attempt to locate one that comes completely from a lender. The indirect pay day loan will have fees that are considerably more than the direct lender since the indirect payday lender keeps a number of the fee for his profit.
Beware of falling in a trap with payday cash advances. In theory, you'd probably pay the loan back one to two weeks, then move ahead with your life. In reality, however, many individuals cannot afford to repay the loan, along with the balance keeps taking this lightly to their next paycheck, accumulating huge amounts of interest over the process.

Some payday lending sites will offer important information away including your address, ss #, etc. so be sure you avoid these businesses.
Only borrow the amount of money that you need. For instance, if you are struggling to repay your bills, next the money is obviously needed. However, you must not borrow money for splurging purposes, including eating out. The high interest levels you will have to pay in the future, won't be worth having money today.

Civil rights icon Jesse Jackson, father of ex-Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., says his son is under "tight medical supervision" after being diagnosed with bipolar depression and resigning from Congress.
"He is struggling with the highs and lows of his bipolar disorder," Jackson Sr. told the Chicago Tribune in a statement.
Jesse Jackson Jr. was formally charged on Friday with misuse of campaign funds.
Jackson resigned from Congress in November after serving for 17 years as a Chicago Congressman. Before Jackson resigned from Congress, he spent time at the Mayo Clinic for treatment of his bipolar disorder.
Several reports have indicated that Jackson faces a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Jackson's wife, Sandi Jackson, is also implicated for her role in filing false tax returns, according to authorities.
Even as the elder Jackson is praying for his own son, his thoughts and prayers are also with those who are victims of gun violence as well.
"As I pray for my own family, I also pray for the victims of shootings and violence," Jackson said.
"Please continue to pray for our family," Jackson concluded. "Let's pray for each other; let's pray for hope and change. Through it all, prayer, forgiveness and redemption still matter."

Target: The Honorable Alvin W. Thompson, Chief United States District Judge
Goal: Bring East Haven police officers to justice for civil rights violations against Hispanics.
Police officers in East Haven, Connecticut were arrested recently for harassing and abusing Hispanics. The East Haven Police Department has been under federal scrutiny since 2009, when the FBI launched an investigation into claims of civil rights violations. This discriminatory and abusive behavior will not be tolerated and the offending officers must be punished.
The allegations against the four indicted police officers include assaulting Hispanics while they were handcuffed, illegal searches of Latino businesses, and intimidation of people trying to report the misconduct. Other unnamed police union leaders were charged with interference to protect the officers, posting warning messages on a bulletin board and in the police locker room.
The rise in racial profiling claims came along with a dramatic demographic shift in East Haven. The suburb of New Haven went from being predominantly Italian-American, with only a 4.4 percent Hispanic population, to 10.3 percent Hispanic in 2010.
Jason Zullo, one of the offending officers, described his enjoyment of singling out Latinos, referring to them in the indictment as "persons who have drifted to this country on rafts made of chicken wings." Officer Dennis Spaulding threw a handcuffed man to the ground and kicked him repeatedly, while Sgt. John Miller slapped a handcuffed man repeatedly in his car. And half to a third of all people pulled over by certain officers were Latino, and Latinos were served harsher punishments overall.
Officers in the East Haven Police Department made life as a Hispanic very difficult with assault and other illegal behavior. Demand that justice be served to show that racism and abuse by the police is unacceptable.
Dear Hon. Alvin W. Thompson,
An investigation by the FBI revealed egregious violations of civil rights against Hispanics by East Haven police officers. This behavior is appalling and the officers must be held accountable.
This is not the first time the East Haven Police Department has come under scrutiny. In 2003, a federal jury ruled that a white East Haven police officer violated the civil rights of a black man by using excessive force and fatally shooting him after a chase. Clearly, they have not learned from their mistakes.
Please bring the offending police officers to justice to show that racial profiling and abuse will not be tolerated in our society.
[Your Name Here]

Citation: Boudina, S., Sena, S., O'Neill, B.T., Tathireddy, P., Young, M.E., Abel, E.D. 2005. Reduced mitochondrial oxidative capacity and increased mitochondrial uncoupling impair myocardial energetics in obesity. Circulation. 112(17):2686-2695. Interpretive Summary: Obese people have an increased chance of developing heart disease. It has been suggested that increased levels of nutrients such as fat and glucose in the blood contribute towards this increased risk of heart disease. The purpose of this study was to determine whether changes in the ability of the heart to use fat and carbohydrate as fuels affects heart function in an animal model of obesity. Through examining hearts that have been removed from lean and obese mice, we find that hearts of obese animals have a decreased ability to generate usable energy from fuels such as carbohydrate and fat. Instead, hearts from obese mice waste energy, making them inefficient during contraction. This may help explain why heart disease develops in obese humans.
Technical Abstract: Obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease and is strongly associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Recent studies in obese humans and animals demonstrated increased myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) and reduced cardiac efficiency (CE); however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study was performed to determine whether mitochondrial dysfunction and uncoupling are responsible for reduced cardiac performance and efficiency in ob/ob mice. Cardiac function, MVO2, mitochondrial respiration, and ATP synthesis were measured in 9-week-old ob/ob and control mouse hearts. Contractile function and MVO2 in glucose-perfused ob/ob hearts were similar to controls under basal conditions but were reduced under high workload. Perfusion of ob/ob hearts with glucose and palmitate increased MVO2 and reduced CE by 23% under basal conditions, and CE remained impaired at high workload. In glucose-perfused ob/ob hearts, mitochondrial state 3 respirations were reduced but ATP/O ratios were unchanged. In contrast, state 3 respiration rates were similar in ob/ob and control mitochondria from hearts perfused with palmitate and glucose, but ATP synthesis rates and ATP/O ratios were significantly reduced in ob/ob, which suggests increased mitochondrial uncoupling. Pyruvate dehydrogenase activity and protein levels of complexes I, III, and V were reduced in obese mice. These data indicate that reduced mitochondrial oxidative capacity may contribute to cardiac dysfunction in ob/ob mice. Moreover, fatty acid but not glucose-induced mitochondrial uncoupling reduces CE in obese mice by limiting ATP production and increasing MVO2.

Sunny Sweeney Prepares For Country Throwdown Tour's Nashville Stop
The third annual Country Throwdown Tour Fired Up by Kingsford® has had fans clamoring for more at each stop, and as the tour prepares to come to a close with a July 8 Nashville stop at The Woods at Fontanel, the buzz is being heard all around Music City.
Gary Allan, Rodney Atkins, Justin Moore, Josh Thompson, Eric Paslay and Sunny Sweeney have headlined the popular outdoor amphitheater trek that features three stages. In addition to performances on the two main stages, the Bluebird Cafe Stage will spotlight the talents of emerging singer-songwriters Channing Wilson, Rose Falcon and Carly Pearce for intimate "in-the-round" sets throughout the day, along with nightly performances during main stage set changes.
Special guests Jonathan Singleton and The Grove, Drake White and Mama's Blue Dress will also join the show in Nashville.
Sweeney tells Billboard.com that she has definitely felt the love from the crowds during the tour. "It's been good. The fans on this show have been awesome," she says. "They're like the ones that come to the CMA Music Festival. They're the ones that bring the pictures back from every show they have ever seen you at. There are a lot of country fans out here."

The Republic Nashville recording artist says that she has been thoroughly impressed with the talent that is represented. "Josh is a friend of mine, and so is Eric," she says, adding that she has been impressed with some of the newcomers. "Channing Wilson is a great singer/songwriter that I just found about on this show. There are so many songs floating around in the air… I think there's so many bands - about ten acts, and there are so many different flavors of country - pop-country, old school country, it's really diverse and really fun."
The singer is looking forward to playing Music City on July 8, which will be her first full show in Nashville. "I'm always excited to play there. The label comes out, and it gives a chance for the people that work with and around you to see you, because we're always on the road," she says.
After hitting the Country Top 40 with songs like "From A Table Away" and "Drink Myself Single," Sweeney tells Billboard that she is in pre-production stages of her next album.

Earlier today we posted about Stevie, a new service that is aiming to change the meaning of "Social TV" by turning your social feeds into a personalized television show. Tonight, Seattle's KIRO TV is looking to put a whole new twist on Social TV as well with a new live show co-created by the audience on Facebook and Twitter.
Social7, hosted by KIRO TV's Jenni Hogan, has already gotten its name and even determined its timeslot based upon the votes of fans and followers, and the show's content is going to be based on whatever happens to be trending when the show goes live tonight.
KIRO News Director Todd Mokhtari told Cory Bergman of Lost Remote about audience involvement in the show. "First of all, they picked the time slot. We gave them three options and 7 p.m. won. Next, they picked the name. We opened it up for suggestions and they picked Social7, then we asked them, should it be 'The Social 7 with Jenni Hogan' or 'Social7 With Jenni Hogan' and in Facebook fashion, they decided to drop the 'the.' Next, on Thursday night, the social media audience will decide the topics by making topics trend. We have blank spots in our show that we will fill Thursday night based on what's trending."
Speaking of what's trending, it's hard to ignore the similarities between Social7 and Shira Lazar's weekly live web show, What's Trending. Shira and the What's Trending team report on the hottest online trends while providing real time comment and feedback from viewers on social media.
If you're in Seattle it sounds like Social7 should be pretty interesting. If you check it out be sure to let us know how it is!

Owned both Pepper & Touareg, and have seat time in the new JGC. Only in TCL is the JGC > Cayenne
the old gens look much better... this looks like some asian cross over
Son, am disappoint. Definitely prefer the looks and style of the old Cayenne GTS.
Screw that fat ass, yuppy, bastardization, that, it's not a real Porshe:
the tails have that sad, old, alero look to them.
otherwise, meh, its an suv. looks ok.
2016 Discount Brand S3
1987 Peugeot PB-18 Manual Power
1986 Mid-Engine Supercar
What Porsche does best is take something that ought not work, and make it work insanely well. The 356, especially the Pre-A cars, was heavily related to the Beetle. The beetle was not a car with sporting intentions. It made very little power, and the handling could be a bit spooky. Nonetheless, Porsche took the basic idea of it and made a sports car, and a very good one at that. 356s often get classed into higher displacement classes for vintage racing because they simply go and change direction better than they ought to. The 911 took the 356 idea and turned it to 11, then 12(911 RS), then 15(930), then 27(997 GT2 RS).
Fast forward to the early 2000s, and Porsche is looking to expand their product line. They add an SUV, but they wanted one that could do everything. The Cayenne can be used offroad, and it(for a stock unibody SUV, and not so much the GTS) is very capable. As it happens though, it also goes like the clappers. It is a format that shouldn't work, but with the GTS Porsche took something that shouldn't do what a sport sedan can do, and made it do that anyways. It's Porsche being Porsche just as they always have been. Just because it is an SUV and you don't like SUVs, that doesn't make it not a Porsche.
I hate to tell you, but there are people out there who hate track-day-loving, back-roads-hooning, sports car lovers as much as you hate tall "yuppie mobiles." Porsche has always made Porsches, and will for the foreseeable future. The Cayenne is a real Porsche, and I'm happy that it exists. May it rip about with alacrity on all surfaces until people stop buying them.
So no more manual transmission for the GTS?
I get that it's hypocritical to criticize an SUV driver for driving on the road rather then driving it off road, because Ferrari owners don't drive their 458 at 180mph everywhere either.
However.... when you take said SUV and give it the sports car treatment to me that's like taking a 458 and puting it on 26" off road tires and a 12" lift kit to make it amazing off road.
It's just a bit weird.

With non-subscribers getting a small sample of the paper's stories and an opportunity to subscribe to the full paper, Flipboard becomes another place where the New York Times can hunt for business. And for both companies, there is the chance of added revenue as both companies will split ad revenue from the Times on Flipboard. This has been quite a month for Flipboard. Besides the deal with the Times, the app has been pre-installed on the sizzling hot Samsung Galaxy S III and is now available for Android phones from the Google Play Store. Prior to that, the app was available via the App Store for both Apple iPad and Apple iPhone users.
While Flipboard does not have monthly user figures to report, as of January, months before it started to offer a version of the app for Android, the service had 8 million subscribers. And now, Flipboard has "All the News That's Fit To Print."

Several years later, in 1967, I asked Judy (now my dear wife of 42 years) to marry me. She refused, saying that she could not marry a non-Christian! This prompted a serious re-evaluation of my life and a true commitment to the Lord. We were then married in August 1968.
Looking back, I think I was sincere when I was baptized as a teenager, but I know I did not understand the concept of dying to the old life and rising to a new life subject to Christ's Lordship and Presence in me. Because of this uncertainty, I was re-baptized in 1995, knowing then, that what I was doing in public genuinely expressed my commitment to the Lord.
In the past I have always driven myself to solve problems and to attain high levels, but now I spend much more time listening to the Lord and working "'not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit', says the Lord Almighty." Zech. 4:6
Since marrying Judy, I have grown in the Lord and spent much time in studying the Word, in prayer, and in ministering in "Listening Prayer" and Counselling. I love the Lord and His Word, and use His Word often as I pray for others.
My favourite Bible verses have become Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."

In an effort to gain a deeper understanding of homelessness across the United States, the University of St. Thomas Social Justice Committee will host a National Sleepout event on Saturday, Nov. 12.
Members of the University of St. Thomas community and the Houston community are invited to bring their sleeping bags and spend the night on the roof of the Moran Center Parking Garage at West Alabama and Graustark.
National Sleepout Saturday is an annual event that aims to create appreciation, empathy, understanding and action through the shared experience of spending one night without a home. The event also raises awareness for National Hunger and Homelessness Week.
Participants are encouraged to bring the bare minimum for the Sleep Out event to best simulate living without the comforts of home. Tents, personal electronics and a abundance of snacks are strongly discouraged as the homeless often do not have the luxury of choosing when they will eat.
Recommended items include:
• sleeping bag
• blanket
• pillow
• notebook to document your experience.
7:30 p.m. Mass (Chapel of St.Basil)
8 p.m. Registration Opens
9:15 p.m. Welcome/Speech on Homelessness/Music
11 p.m. Lights Out
7:30 a.m. Event Ends
The event is free and open to the public and will be held rain or shine. Parking is $2 parking in Moran Center Garage. For more information contact Dr. Livia Bornigia at 713-942-5907 or Dr. Carl Scott at 713-525-3182.

CBC would keep asset sale proceeds: minister
TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's federal government is ready to let the Canadian Broadcasting Corp keep the money from any assets the public broadcaster sells as part of its plan to cope with a growing financial shortfall, a minister said on Thursday.
"The return on the benefits of those sales would go to the CBC," Heritage Minister James Moore told CBC Newsworld in an interview.
His comments suggest that the government may be prepared to approve asset sales the CBC undertakes in a bid to cope with an estimated C$171 million shortfall for fiscal 2009-2010.
They also come just a day after the CBC -- which receives more than C$1 billion in government funding a year -- announced it would have to cut 800 jobs and reduce programing across its television and radio networks because of a plunge in the advertising market.
The CBC said it expects the cost cuts will also include about C$125 million in sales of assets such as real estate.
Like other media companies, the CBC is struggling with a plunge in ad revenue as the recession forces marketers to reduce spending.
Aside from government funding, the CBC generates roughly C$600 million a year in revenue from commercial activities, including about C$340 million from advertising.
The broadcaster has turned to the government for help, but it insists it isn't asking for more money. Instead, it has suggested a line of credit or an advance on future funding to deal with the current crisis.
The Conservative government has replied that it expects the CBC to cut costs just like its private-sector competitors. Continued...

I'm not sure how many of you entered the micro-stock business as contributors, but I first started as a customer, mainly to get images for my web design company. I always appreciated the great diversity of pictures I found in micro-stock websites and the low rates they charged for those amazing photographs. Then, I started to create my own photos for the websites I develop and now I only buy the pictures I cannot shoot myself from various reasons.
But now I would like to talk a bit about the pictures and the composition. There are some pictures in here that are just amazing. You first look at them and say: "wow, now that is one picture that is probably selling like crazy". The colors are great, the picture is sharp and clean and still... the downloads are not as many as you first thought. One thing I discovered while working as website designer was that even if I had a great picture on my digital canvas, it didn't always fit in a particular website design. The story is the same if you want to include a photo in printed materials, product catalogues, labels and so on.
Most of the time, the designer has to crop the picture, resize or rotate it. It doesn't matter why. The website design is not usually made from a particular photo up, it's the other way around: a photo has to fit within a particular layout. Sometimes the picture you need to include has to be very large but you have to cut the height. Now, what would happen if your subject is all over the photo? By cutting the top and/or bottom of the image, the subject might be unrecognizable or too much details will be lost. There are some pictures that will fit perfectly and still give you plenty of room to manipulate the picture even further. Now, that is a good image for a designer to use in his or her project. Many of my photos were just unusable - even for my own projects. But I had the chance to shoot them again, this time with the project requirements in mind.
This is not the case with the pictures you send to a microstock website. You have to upload the most relevant pictures, and you rarely upload a better version of a picture afterwards. So, think about this aspect in the future and try to imagine your picture in various sizes (cropped, not resized). Does it maintain the original idea? Is your subject still there and looking great? How is the background affected if some parts of the picture will be cut out?
These are some pictures that will always look good. I tried to find a better replacement but I just couldn't. It's because they are perfectly composed:

Two men survive a face to face encounter with a 12-foot Great White Shark
Three area beaches are now closed to swimming and surfing for 72 hours
Santa Barbara County, Calif. - A retired fireman on a fishing trip with a friend say they visited face to face with a Great White Shark just off Tajiguas Beach Saturday afternoon. The incident happened early afternoon about 800 feet off shore. The retiree says his friend had a fresh catch of bass and after drawing the live catch from the water to on-board their kayak the 12-foot man-eating predator breached the water and ultimately lifted the vessel out of the water.
No injuries were reported but the mens' wits were apparently on end after the encounter. Currently three area beaches are closed for 72-hours to water recreation activities in response to the shark encounter. El Capitan, El Refugio and Gaviota State Beaches are affected. All three are set to re-open Tuesday morning at 8am to water recreation activities like surfing and swimming.

Plus, with some of our dishwashers using as little as 239 kilowatt hours of electricty per year, we can exceed even ENERGY STAR standards by over 33%.
In 2011, 2012, and 2013 Bosch received ENERGY STAR®'s highest honor - the Sustained Excellence award. We've maintained this standard by having every Bosch dishwasher exceed ENERGY STAR®'s high standards, some models by 125%. But we didn't stop there - one Bosch dishwasher can save over 400 gallons (or 10 bathtubs) of water each year! Bosch Home Appliances is proud to offer our customers products that have earned the government's ENERGY STAR label.
Bosch's exclusive EcoSense® technology measures soil levels throughout each cycle to precisely adjust water and heat, reducing energy usage without sacrificing performance. Once the appropriate water level and temperature are determined, the water is channeled through tight coils in a confined flow-through water heater, instantly and efficiently heating every drop.

Eric Sprott - Silver to Outshine Gold as Investment of the Decade
Posted by: CanadianValue (IP Logged)
Date: December 11, 2012 09:50AM
After the introduction Eric Sprott joins the program at roughly the four-minute mark.
Some of his observations:
- Actual supply-demand imbalance is what brought him to gold years ago.
- His investment has been helped by the actions of central bankers.
- He thinks gold can still go many times higher than where it is today.
- He believes that governments are acting to suppress the price of gold (by leasing gold into the market) because a rising price of gold panics markets.
- At this time there is a clear shortage of supply.
- The demand increase is coming from China and non-Western central banks.
- Supply has been flat for a decade and a half.

USDA to Measure 2014 Small Grain Production
Date Posted: August 14, 2014
Harrisburg, PA—During the first two weeks of September, growers of small grains around the country will receive survey forms from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
The agency is taking an in-depth look into the 2014 production and supply of small grains, which include wheat, oats, barley, and rye.
"The small grains industry is a important component of the North East's agriculture and it is crucial for us to have accurate data about this key sector," said NASS Northeastern Regional Director, King Whetstone.
"We will contact more than 4,500 producers across the 11 Northeastern states to accurately measure 2014 acreage, yield, and production for small grains. The data collected from this survey will also help set small grain acreage and production estimates at the county level."
NASS will contact survey participants to gather information on their 2014 production and the quantities of wheat, barley, and oats stored on farm, as well as old crop corn and soybean stored on farm.
As an alternative to mailing the survey back, to help save both time and money, growers will have the option to respond to the survey online.
The farmers who have not responded by August 29th will receive a phone call from a NASS-trained enumerator who will help them fill out the survey form.
As with all NASS surveys, information provided by respondents is confidential by law. NASS safeguards the privacy of all responses and publishes only aggregate data, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be identified.
Survey results will be published in several reports, including the annual Small Grains Summary and the quarterly Grain Stocks report, both to be released on September 30.
These and all NASS reports are available online at www.nass.usda.gov.
For more information call the NASS Northeastern Regional Field Office at 1-800-498-1518.

Raman-type Stokes stimulated emission in the far-infrared wavelength range (52–65 μm) has been realized in silicon crystals doped by group-V hydrogen-like donor centers at low temperatures under optical excitation by radiation from a pulsed frequency-tunable infrared free-electron laser. The light scattering appears as an entire intracenter process and occurs on the donor electronic transitions being resonant to the intervalley transverse acoustic g phonon. The outgoing and incoming electronic donor resonances amplify the efficiency of scattering, so that the Raman optical gain increases to the values observed for the infrared room temperature Raman silicon lasers.

Solution to Exploding radiators.
Did you ever wonder why some BMWs have exploding radiator, exploding overflow tank, bursting hose, heater core leak, problems. Well here you go:
BMW decided to run the system at 30PSI, that is a lot of pressure, your
are probably at about 35PSI. Sure the radiator used in BMW is not the best, but not that much worse than Lexus, or any other car. Pressurize any toyota or honda to 30PSI drive it hard and see how long your radiator will last.
The system pressure is controlled by the overflow tank cap ($ 15.00 item), open your hood on top of the cap you will notice 200 this means 2.0Bar or 30PSI. Change this cap to the one used in 1988 325 (140 rated at 1.4Bar or 20PSI) it should fit most BMWs with plastic caps and now you have less pressure and smaller chance of exploding radiator. Now that your radiator has smaller chance of exploding you have a greater chance of water boiling (but I take that over exploded radiator, boiling water all over the street, plumes of white smoke, other drivers lughing, me stranded, any time)
BMWs cooling system appears to be too small for hot climates, you need a radiator with more cooling area (like two or three rows of cooling fins), or more free space under the hood, or bigger water pump+more air flow (2 electric fans).
Toyota and Lexus are closer to 15PSI, most american cars and trucks run at 16PSI but I like BMWs.
My 1991 750IL would blow up 1 cheep aftermarket radiator each summer, one summer I got sick of this Cr&% and started to butcher the original cooling system. I anstalled a aftermarket tranny cooler aprox $100.00 at
and all aluminum chevy style radiator $159.00 at JEGS 16PSI radiator cap and all metal hoses by coolmaster $90.00 also at JEGS now I am on my third summer 110degrees Chicago + stuck in traffic+ air running full speed and mu BMW is nice and cool.
I just purchased a 2000 540IA and I will try the lower PSI cap trick before I go for the chevy radiator and cap.
For what its worth
this is my 2 cents.

Sharon and Randy at the Snow Ball
There aren't many times Randy and I get to hang out after work. Sure, we do remotes together and we've been to our fellow employees weddings, but we never get to hang out.
But we did Saturday night!
And it was fun!
Be Careful What You Eat! Maine Restaurants FAIL Inspection! 15 Close Down!
Chad and I eat out very little. We might grab a pizza to go at a few places but we're mostly homebodies.
When we read the article in the Portland Press Herald this morning we were SHOCKED!
At least 5 restaurants we have been to in the past year have FAILED inspection according to the Maine State Health Inspectors. And one of them had to close! I think I counted 25 Chinese restaurants!
Sharon Found Money in an Unexpected Place! SURPRISE!
I know this happens to people all the time: You are getting ready to do laundry and you find $1 in the back pocket! Or you look at the bottom of your purse and you find $5.
Well, I found the best thing ever!
Sharon Entering Songwriting Competition…and YOU Can, Too!
Why not? Columbus took a chance, as my mother used to say. And you never know...Luke Bryan or Miranda Lambert could one day be singing one of YOUR songs!
If you're a songwriter, check this out!
Sharon's Still Saving Money! Are You Still On Track?
You've seen it all over Facebook. And you SAID you would start it at the beginning of the year.
But DID YOU?
The Megaticket Going On Sale! Win Tickets with B98.5!
That's right! You heard it on B98.5 this morning!
The Darling's Waterfront Pavillion has their Megaticket again this year and it will give you seats to THREE GREAT CONCERTS!
Who do we have lined up for you?
Sharon Wants to Know: Would YOU Eat It?
I was foraging for food yesterday morning because I had forgot my breakfast. In our break room here at work, there is basically nothing to eat.
However, I DID find some cereal.
But did I dare eat it?
Sharon Planning Honeymoon!
It's 145 days til the big day...but who's counting?
When thinking about the different places we wanted to go for our honeymoon, Chad and I thought REALLY big and said England.
Then we thought about what we could actually AFFORD and he, being the most awesome man on the planet, said "Why don't we go to Nashville?"
I KNEW there was a reason I was marrying this man!
Awesome Deer Cam!
I know deer hunting season isn't coming back for a while. It doesn't mean we can't get our fill of watching deer another way!
Chad and I often go on this site just see the what the deer are doing at this particular feeder. We get our daily dose. Chad even once saw the 18 wheeler truck backing up to fill it back up with grain!
Remember Whoopie Goldberg in 'Sister Act'?
Yesterday I was taking it easy on the couch and flipping through channels. It was just about 3 when I saw what was coming up: 'Sister Act'. I hadn't seen that movie in, probably, 10 years. You know music lifts me up. I threw the fuzzy throw over me and settled myself on the couch for 2 and 1/2 hours of pure enjoyment!
Do you know how old that movie is?
22 years old! SERIOUSLY? Sister Mary Clarence has staying power.
