Richard's US tour photoblog
New York City, Saturday
Last photos of a memorable (if cold) US Tour. Thanks to everyone for coming to the shows, watching online, tweeting us (@keaneofficial) and being generally amazing fans. AND for checking out my pics. I'm glad you enjoy seeing what we have been up to.
Fredonia, NY
We went out to dinner with Record Producer Extraordinaire, Dave Fridmann (and friends) down in Fredonia. Was nice to see The Cool Little Music Shop is going from strength to strength. Was good seeing owner and all-round nice guy, Rick & his family.
The bar had table-hockey
sorry, I felt rubbish and didn't go out!
Next Stop: Portland, Maine
One of the finest Coffee Shops in North America, in my humble opinion:
New York:
I had no idea that the people who make my drum sticks also make salt and pepper grinders.
Radio City Music Hall looks even better from the stage! A truly amazing place to end our American adventures.
Burlington, VT, Tuesday
Last pics from Nashville:
Columbus, OH:
Royal Oak, MI
Buffalo, NY:
Tim hired a car so we could go to see Niagara Falls (from the American side).
Everything was covered in ice from the mist of water thrown up by the falls.
To prove we did go!
This is what it looks like in summer!
This is what we came here to see - the noise was incredible. Amazing place, even in freezing weather.
Nashville, Wednesday part 2
St Louis (stopover en route to Nashville):
This truck now travels with us, just for my daily cup.
Nashville (today):
Nashville, Wednesday part 1
a week to catch up on...
sorry - I didn't take any other pics!
Kansas City:

Houston, Wednesday part 3 - NASA
If you follow me on twitter (@richardkeane) or the band (@keaneofficial) you may have seen me getting very very excited about visiting @NASA here in Houston, Texas - The Johnson Space Center to be precise. As a kid who grew up watching shuttle launches on tv, I am a huge NASA (& science) nut, and this was an amazing treat.
I want to say a huge thanks to John Roderick (of The Long Winters, the Podcast 'Roderick on the Line' & more) for putting me in touch with a friend of his at NASA - John Paul, who hooked us up with the wonderful Andrew Knotts. Andrew took us around, and managed to get Astronauts Dr. Andrew J. Feustel and Captain Michael J. Foreman to accompany us for the tour. They were all incredibly generous with their precious time, with Dr. Feustel accompanying us round the whole 3+ hour tour. I cannot say a big enough thankyou to them all, and everyone at NASA who welcomed us like friends. I can't remember a day off on tour like it.
EDIT: I meant to say - if you are interested in a NASA introduction, I highly recommend the Discovery Channel series - The Nasa Missions: When we left Earth. You'll see a lot of it happened in the rooms we visited.
We went to Mission Control - the rooms that have been used since the 60s, and are still in use today - the International Space Station (ISS) communicates and is controlled from here 24 hours a day.
ISS Mission Control:
It was one of the staff's last day, so they had cake
Jesse and Dr. Feustel:
we weren't the first Brits to visit
There are amazing photos and artifacts wherever you turn:
And then we got to the famed Mission Control room that ran missions from the mid-60s into the 90s, including the moon landings. This is a National Historic Landmark, and we were amazed to be allowed to wander in and sit at the desks.
We went on to the NBL - a place with a ridiculously huge pool in which they submerge actual size equipment that the astronauts then use to practice their space-walks, using the water / weights so they are neutral bouyancy - the nearest they can get to weightless for long periods of time (up to 6 hours). Each spacewalk is practised until it has been done correctly 7 times - our astronaut guides had spent a lot of time in this place. The pool currently contains an entire ISS, albeit not in one piece. This is where we were joined by Captain Foreman, as if one Astronaut guide wasn't enough...
If I remember correctly, this photo was taken by Dr Feustel, so that's him reflected in the visor.
The third building we visited was the Shuttle and ISS training center, where an identical inside of the ISS is housed for training purposes, plus a training version of the Shuttle interior...
Dr. Feustel talks us through the layout of the ISS:
The Shuttle:
I think Jesse was asking where to plug his iphone in - come to think of it, I didn't spot the stereo.
This area is below the cockpit, and was where Dr. Feustel was sitting (with 2 others) for both of his Shuttle Launches. It was tiny, even without 3 seats and people in spacesuits.
The mirror was there to let the Astronauts see switches behind them in the restrictive spacesuits (when they wouldn't be able to turn their heads enough). Spot the big red "MASTER ALARM" button!
They also had various bits of hardware, prototypes and parts of future space vehicles, and a few mental robots...
That's about it. Again, thanks everyone for the hospitality - it was the most amazing day.
Houston, Wednesday part 2
San Diego, or the drive to it...
look out for Walt & Jesse...
The area we were in seemed to be the Bail Bonds District.
San Francisco
They spelled his name wrong:
I thought I had got some better shots of trams, but they were looking glorious. Sorry, this one is a terrible photo.
Houston, Wednesday
@Jacqnic - yep, that's very impressive - it is the Truckee River. Hard to believe you go from 7000ft and snowy mountains, to sunshine and San Francisco in about 3 hours. Glad you are enjoying the blog.
The snowboard is Beth's custom board - she had it made after UTIS came out, and I seem to remember we auctioned one off, or gave it away in a competition - so she has one of only 2 in the world!
A few pics from LA:
Los Angeles, Saturday
Boise, Wednesday
First photoblog in a while. Sorry about that, but here we go. I flew to Seattle a couple of days before the tour began and then drove down the coast to Portland (the long way). Took a few snaps along the way, plus a ton in Portland, some of which may be familiar from my previous blogs... I had a great time there, getting treated to a tour of Stumptown Coffee Roastery (thanks Matt) - these guys are great. I got to try a tasting ("cupping") of some of their coffees, and had one of the best Flat Whites of my life from their Barista training expert. Amazing. It was good to see that they are also committed to reducing the environmental impact of their roastery, with super hi-tech gas-saving equipment. Feels good to know that when you are drinking one of their fabulous coffees. Anyway, on with the show:
In-flight entertainment:
Seattle Coffee Works:
First proper breakfast of any USA tour is pancakes. I simply cannot resist...!
The drive down to Portland:
On the bridge on the way to Stumptown:
At Stumptown: this is a 90kg coffee roaster - does about $4000 worth each time - no pressure...!
Coffees to taste:
I walked, it was raining...
Every bank should have a carved horse in the window.
The State Capitol:
It's early, but Dear Santa...
"A lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations" - sounds good.
You're in a big puddle of shit, Pamela, and you don't have the shoes for it.
There are these little binocular-looking things set up around town with old views of the street they are on - genius idea, and at child height. Hard to take a pic but you get the idea.
The landscape around Boise is incredibly beautiful.

Hello Richard, I hope you're better now than the day of the show in Sao Paulo. I've been seeing your photos of the tour in the U.S. and the photo that pleased me most was the picture of the Renoir Hotel. A strange old building, near the corner of Keane's show. I was there at the hotel that week. I was on vacation but I could not watch the show. Fortunately I was able to go to St. Paul to see them. It was a wonderful show. I live in southern Brazil in a city that is a piece of land lost at sea. It is an amazing city has 40 beaches. When you see photos curiosity, called Florianópolis. Thank you for your attention. See you soon, maybe in Belgium in July.
Hi Richard!! Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos! My favorite pics are the NASA ones!
I thought that was you behind me in Rockerfeller Centre. You missed Atlas, and HOW could you have missed St Patricks? You where right there. Funny, we have the same shot. Oh, you also missed the blue tree down at the Hilton! LOL Sandi B
Regardless where the moment finds you...we look forward to your photos (blog)....so..thank you... Your Houston show was amazing . .and your show in Austin---WOW.... hope to see you soon....

Ciao Richard, complimenti per queste ultime immagini dal vostro tour americano!!! Mi piace molto la foto della scultura in primo piano e il cinema come sfondo, io adoro andare al cinema, proprio questo Sabato sera ho visto il film Lincoln , ti consiglio di vederlo, è basato sugli ultimi anni di vita in cui il presidente con il tredicesimo emendamento riesce ad abolire la schiavitù. Molto carino anche il negozio di Caffè, io amo quello d'orzo perchè non contiene caffeina!!!Adorabile il gabbiano sulla neve! Bella la pista di ghiaccio, noi qui a Catania ne abbiamo una anche dentro un centro commerciale molto grande ed elegante chiamato I Portali e lì tutti i ragazzi si divertono a pattinare, alcuni a volte però fanno dei bei capitomboli! Hai ragione Rich, Radio City Music Hall è meravigliosa vista dal palco, sono contenta che anche stavolta hai scattato una foto dalla tua postazione!!! A proposito di musica io adesso devo scappare, mi aspettano gli alunni per la lezione di violino!!! Sabrina from Catania, Sicilia!!!

"I had no idea that the people who make my drum sticks also make salt and pepper grinders." --> :O Me neither! huahuahuahua
Unforgettable tour EE.UU January 2013. Fotos excelentes de Richard ( la de las luces es estupenda; es para ponerla de salvapantallas), vídeos, live acoustic, frío de invierno, las cataratas del Niégara y Tim Rice pelado de frío; etc etc "Run with me"; "The Boys" ( = Beatles ) i "It's not true" ( =jazz); són tres canciones deliciosas. Strangeland is the best sound. Por los demás, tengo el piano un poco dejado. Hace dos días que no lo toco. Y tengo de practicar el Staccato, legato. Os dejo. Ojalá volvierais a Barcelona. Entonces sí que intentaria acercarme a Tim Rice. Con la barba de uno ó dos días estás muy bien. V.Morrison: "Someone like you" (Tim R.) Barcelona.
beautiful pictures!!! i love it :) los amoooooo kisses !
I love your pictures, Richard. It was amazing for me to see you for the first time in concert and in my home state of Vermont too. I was in the third row at the Flynn show and you were all wonderful.
Richard, the photo of Tim with the NIagara Falls behind is soooo lovely!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!! =)
Hi richard!!! what I like about you is that on normal you know their views make all their emotions, all these landscapes are beautiful to each his Chill *** I love this photo (BUFFALO NY)) she inspires travel she ** me want to go far, you join and have a great time singing and dancing to all your songs, but I only have a dream!! Would you cede the songs of sirens as the one you photographed is very pretty! a big thank you to you for sharing this time with us through your cliches I know that tomorrow is your last concert I want it to be beautiful **** Before I leave I wanted to say I love BRUTUS (the little man))) LOTOF LOVE*** BIG KISSES from FRANCE
I just came home from a stressful day at work and enjoyed the new photos. The "Talking Loudly" poster in Atlanta struck a nerve with me....This sign needs to be blown up and posted all around the office....People need to use their "Quiet Voice" (arghhh)!!
I LOVED the 'Talking Loudly? Not Cool' sign. I think we should have them in this country for public transport and other places. I wish I could keep this and have it as my avatar on everything.
Con este gorrito de color verde, la bufanda, y esta barba de un ó dos días que para mí te sienta muy bien, pareces un muñeco de nieve. Tus composiciones me gustan, sobretodo Under The Iron Sea; Strangeland es un disco maduro musicalmente diria. Y ahora físicamente me gustas simplemente. Más ahora que hace 4 años. V.Morrison-pseudonimo-"someone like you" (TR). T'estima i aprecia. Barcelona.
Amazing!! I LOVE YOU GUYS Thanks Richard!! COLOMBIA Espera por KEANE.! Kisses!
Quien pudiera estar contigo Tim en las Cataratas del Niágara. Podría ser una canción: Un invierno en las Cataratas. Te sigue y admira, una aprendiz de piano. Pseudònimo: V.Morrison "Someone like you" ( Tim Rice ).
ISA, from Brasil, Sao Paulo *** Wow, great new pics, I loved the one from Niagara Falls, there is a great movie with Mairlyn Monroe that takes place near the local; loved much the ones with Tim, Jesse and Tom. All the snow pics are also great and loved particularly the one about to have the voice down, loved, loved, because I do like quiet people ha ha! :.) Lots of love and thanks for sharing! XXX
Thanks to you guys (going to your concert in Toronto some years ago) I also visited Niagara Falls, very impressive! Love from The Netherlands!
Thanks, Richard, love the photos, really NASA were the lucky ones getting KEANE for a day.
Wow, che magnifiche foto caro Richard! Per me è stata una fantastica sorpresa oggi aver trovato nuove immagini dal tuo interessante photoblog!!!Mi ha colpita molto la foto scattata dal palcoscenico con la batteria in evidenza, troppo originale!!! Mi è piaciuta poi l'immagine della scultura di quella donna con i capelli lunghi al vento, mi ha ricordato tanto i miei capelli che sono proprio così lunghi!!! Bellissimo anche quell'aereo supersonico con in primo piano il grattacielo!!!Ho apprezzato tantissimo anche la foto della facciata del Southern Theatre con quelle affascinanti colonne antiche, molto particolare !!!Carina pure la foto dei pupazzetti e la scultura dell'uomo e della donna è molto suggestiva!!!Meraviglioso il mappamondo!!! E poi mi fa tanto piacere che siete riusciti a vedere le mitiche cascata del Niagara, è bello sapere che vi siete anche svagati con questa gita! Chissà che freddo c'era però! Troppo tenero anche lo scoiattolino!!! E' divertente la foto dove Tim sta guidando, è un'immagine molto spontanea! Grazie di cuore Richard per i tuoi scatti, diventi sempre più bravo, complimenti!!! Sabrina da Catania, Sicily, Italy!!!
Thanks guys, great photos! I imagine that there is noise at niagara falls. You give me longing to travel!

Nice pictures! You guys were at my hometown - Buffalo, NY! I wish you would have a concert here!! You have to come back to Niagara Falls in the summer and ride the Maid of the Mist.
Rich, couldn't be better than opening the photoblog with Jesse on drums, this photo is really cool. Actually all of them are terrific. Thank you so much. Beijos, Regina.

Ciao Richard, sono felice di aver trovato oggi nuove immagini dal tuo photoblog, come sempre mi fai viaggiare con la fantasia:guardando queste foto per un attimo mi sembra di trovarmi realmente proprio in questi posti Americani! Sono veramente delle immagini molto suggestive e alcune anche insolite ed originali! Mi è piaciuta un mondo la foto del micione sdraiato in mezzo credo a dei vinili , poi l'immagine degli uccelli sopra le staccionate , mi ricordano tanto i falchi che vedo io durante il viaggio per andare a scuola!!! Molto carina anche l'immagine del murales con il violino! E poi mi sono divertita a guardare la foto dove ci sei tu con l'espressione tutta sorpresa , troppo simpatica !!! Grazie di cuore Rich , il tuo photoblog è bellissimo!!! Un salutone da Sabrina da Catania, ciao!!!

ISA, from Brasil, Sao Paulo *** Thanks for sharing the pics, great! Lots of love! XXXX
Thx Richard you are amazing.xxxx
Hi Richard i havent seen you to talk to since before and after Usher Hall gig, which was an awesome gig thanx so much. Thanx for all these amazing pics especially from Nasa and the beautiful views youve photograghed whilst on the U.S Winter Tour. Love to you, Tim, Tom, Jesse and special love+hugs 2 Colin XXXXX.
Great pics guys..I take it Tom was the 1 behind the camera at NASA as Im sure he was there with you all.xxxx
Did you mean metal robots?! I supposed they are also pretty mentally advanced, seeing as they are from NASA. ;) Anyway, thanks so much for sharing your NASA adventure, it's really exciting! I never had the chance to go when I lived in TX, though I did research for NASA and they paid for 3 years of my PhD training. I remember getting postcards from them stating their next mission was to put men on Mars, so cool. You're very lucky!! Thanks again for the great shows in Portland and San Fran!
Pity Tom missed out on such an amazing experience of NASA, I'm sure he'll live to regret it!
What is it with rock stars and space? Brian Cox and Brian May are into it too.
....... NASA!!! You are very very VERY lucky :) hope you enjoyed it, that must of been a day to remember! After this visit you may even get astronauts playing keane songs in space! That would be cool! ;)
Greetings, continue to enjoy this great tour! remember the joys are now, in every moment we live. KEANE Thanks for sharing your experience of visiting NASA. Hugs from Ecuador :) Note: Sorry for my bad English Saludos, Sigan disfrutando de esta genial gira!!! recuerden que las alegrias son ahora, en cada momento que vivimos. Gracias KEANE por compartir su experiencia de visitar la NASA. Abrazos desde Ecuador :)
Hi Richard!! yet wonderful pictures, a place that makes us dream a little (towards the star is geniale!))

Amazing photos Richard, thanks so much. You're all very lucky, but I suppose you know that. Keep the pics coming, love Kathleen in Kent, xxx
WOW! You guys are soooo lucky going to NASA and being shown around by the two astronauts. Even in your amazing life as Keane this is pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing pictures, Richard! Visiting NASA must have been such a memorable experience! Every now and then I like to take a look at the ISS livestream (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-iss-stream), incredible views! Jesse-looking-scared picture is so funny, did he push the major NASA red button or something like that? Hope you guys enjoy the rest of the tour! Lots of love, Aline Shinzato The Frog Prince Squad - Brazil
Ciao Richard, quante belle foto oggi nel tuo photoblog, che bello!!! Grazie di cuore per aver condiviso con noi la tua visita alla Nasa, è stato davvero interessante ed entusiasmante ammirare tutte le varie apparecchiature spaziali, penso che per voi che eravate lì di presenza dev'essere stato ancora più emozionante e poi siete anche entrati dentro lo shuttle, chissà che sensazione avete provato !!! Poi sono molto originali e fantasiose anche le immagini di San Diego, San Francisco e Los Angeles, sono dei luoghi, secondo me, molto suggestivi ed anche allegri , mi sono piaciute tutte le foto!!! Mi ha colpito moltissimo la foto del negozio di musica, carini quei violini esposti, mi ricorda tanto il negozietto che c'è vicino alla scuola dove lavoro e dove i miei alunni vanno a comprare i libri e gli accessori di musica!!! E' stato un piacere seguire il tuo photoblog, per me così è stato come viaggiare con voi, con le tue foto Richard, riesci a coinvolgere tutti i fans, bravissimo!!! Un abbraccio a tutta la band da Sabrina from Catania, Sicilia!!!
Wow! I can't believe you went to Boise! ¿Did you have some potatoes? I was there last summer, so we drove 5 hours to see you at Salt Lake City and it was the best concert ever plus we even got our album signed! You guys are the best! Thanks for keeping up with the blog Richard, I love reading it, you should also blog from your home town!

Thanks Richard for those amazing pictures of your tour at NASA!

Richard, it's great to see all these precious photos! So happy for you have visited Nasa! This visit was a unique moment for you all. Everything in Nasa is very interesting and especially the huge pool which makes the simulation of space for astronauts! Thanks, his photobloges are always awesome! Have a great time in US!!
Wonderful pictures from NASA, thank you for sharing them with us. Nice to see some pictures of Beth (we met her in Madrid) - I'm a highly experienced PA still looking for another job and I still stand by what I said then, that if she ever gets fed up of working for you, or needs an assistant, I'm available. I live in hope! Take care and enjoy the rest of your US tour.
This is Ground Control to Major Tim (first thing that came to mind w/ this photo http://cdn.umg3.net/keanem/data/image/DSC_7039.jpg) Great photos, Richard! The NASA tour looks so interesting. The robots are going to give me nightmares, though.
Wow, lucky Keane to go to NASA! Don't touch that button Jesse!
Looking at your pictures is like a breath of fresh air when you struggle to study Dutch. Thanks for that! Hope to see you soon in Belgium, last gig was absolutely fantastic! Have fun travelling the world! xx Bisous de Belgique!

Un abbraccio da Sabrina, adesso devo prendere il pullman per andare a scuola, è piuttosto lontana, e gli alunni mi aspettano per la lezione di violino! Sabrina from Sicily!!!
Once upon a time you freely gave… Sentiments which made their way…. Across divisions… country and state lines… Interpreted they seemed to state…. what I needed to hear most… To this day they resonate…echo within the chambers of my heart…
Amazing!!.. Thanks Richard! It´s just Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful,Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful, Kisses from COLOMBIA

Under the Iron Sea Artwork ' Snowboard. Are Jesse 's feet ? Richard, where are the guys ? Des de Barcelona, un fort petó i una abraçada. Marisa.
Great pictures! I loved the mountains and the nature pics ♥ XOXO
Hi Richard! Thanks for the photos of our awesome country! If you don't mind me asking, where was all the snow? I think I recognized the "Flying J" from over the grapevine on the 5 (I-5 to non-Southern Californians) but the little river looked like the Truckee River in the Sierra-Nevada Mountains between California and Nevada! Just curious since I have many sentimental attachments to places up and down the awesome state that is California! Thanks!
Snowed under...even in California! Thanks Richard for all the beautiful pictures!
Rich, I thought your snow pics really hot. Beijos, Regina.
Lots of great snow pics! Love the timber!....Thanks so much for sharing, Richard, and letting us see the country, too....I'm hoping it stays away from Michigan on the 27th.

Hey Johanna, Pamela is a character in a film - iPamela Landy. It is a line from one of the films in the 'Bourne Trilogy' - The Bourne Supremecy I think. They are excellent films - you should check them out if you haven't aleady seen them.

Australian Marc Leishman strives to take a basic approach every time he tees up for a golf tournament.
Leishman twice referenced the need to "keep doing the simple things well" when he met with the media Thursday following his first round score of 6-under-par 64 to lead the field of 76 golfers in the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club.
Leishman started on No. 10 with a birdie on a sunny and warm day on the South Course. He added birdies on 13, 16, 17, 2, 4, 6 and 8. He made a bogey on 18 and 7.
"To start with, I drove the ball well," Leishman said. "It makes this course a lot easier when you're on the fairway. It's pretty tough when you're playing from the rough.To read more or comment...
Dustin Johnson, who withdrew from the Bridgestone Invitational Monday, is taking an immediate leave of absence from the PGA Tour, according to a statement released through his management company, Hambric Sports.
"I will use this time to seek professional help for personal challenges I have faced," Johnson said in the statement, according to pgatour.com. "By committing the time and resources necessary to improve my mental health, physical well-being and emotional foundation, I am confident that I will be better equipped to fulfill my potential and become a consistent champion.
"I respectfully ask my fans, well-wishers and the media for privacy as I embark upon this mission of self-improvement."
Johnson, 30, ranked No. 16 in the world, will miss next week's PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup in September, David Winkle, president of Hambric Sports Management, told the PGA of America. Johnson stands No. 4 on the FedExCup playoff list and fifth in U.S. Ryder Cup points. The top nine in the Ryder Cup standings after the PGA Championship qualify and if Johnson is still among those, the 10th man would make the team. Going into this week, Patrick Reed is No. 9.To read more or comment...
Marc Leishman leads the Bridgestone Invitational at 6 under after shooting a 64 Thursday at Firestone Country Club. His round included 8 birdies and 2 bogeys.
Justin Rose, Ryan Moore and Charl Schwartzel are in second place after shooting 65s.
Tiger Woods missed two short putts to start his round with a bogey on No. 1. He followed that up with his tee shot on No. 2 going to the left but recovered to birdie the hole.
He finished his up-and-down round at 2 under, 4 shots off the lead. Woods had six birdies, 2 bogeys and a double bogey.To read more or comment...
With a brutal stretch that includes the Bridgestone Invitational, the PGA Championship, the four-event FedExCup playoffs that start on Aug. 21 at The Barclays and the Ryder Cup, David Feherty of CBS may be as anxious as golf fans to see who emerges.
"It's a very interesting time in golf. When Tiger was so far in front for so long, there was almost a lack of interest in anybody else, he was so spectacular," Feherty said Wednesday in a telephone interview from his home in Dallas. "Now I think people are starting to realize how good this crop of youngsters is. It's the first wave of kids who grew up with Tiger Woods as their hero. Every time I see one of these shots that Rory hits or Jordan Speith, I thank God I gave up when I did."
Feherty also mentioned Rickie Fowler, Dustin Johnson, Billy Horschel and Harris English, whom he said "looks like a young Tom Weiskopf. I think he's going to be a superstar."
"There are so many of them. Majors and big tournaments like the Bridgestone are so much more difficult to win than they used to be because the strength and the depth is there," Feherty said. "Now anybody who plays in this tournament is capable of winning it. Heck, there are people who haven't qualified who are capable of winning it and that wasn't always the case."To read more or comment...
Golfer Tiger Woods spoke with the media today leading up to this week's Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club. He was asked about LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Beacon Journal news partner WEWS has video:To read more or comment...
Dustin Johnson, the world's No. 16-ranked player, withdrew from the Bridgestone Invitational Monday, citing a personal reason.
Johnson's withdrawal leaves the field for the $9 million World Golf Championships event at 76 players, including 49 of the world's top 50.
Johnson tied for 33rd last year at Firestone South, his fifth appearance in Akron. He stands No. 4 on the FedExCup points list. Johnson has one win, two seconds and seven top 10s in 17 events in 2014, earning $4.2 million.To read more or comment...

How to fix a torn screen
Photo 2: Glue on the patch
Cut a patch of fiberglass screen that will lap 1/2 in. over each edge. Lay wax paper under the window screen to keep the glue from sticking to the workbench. Center the patch over the hole, apply a bead of glue around the hole, and spread the glue through the patch and window screen using a flat wooden stick.
If you're fed up with the mosquitoes buzzing around your head and keeping you awake all night, how about fixing the screen? Patches will be visible and can look a bit tacky, so if the tear is large or the screen is in a highly visible area, replace the entire screen. Otherwise, take 20 minutes and just patch the hole.
If your screen is fiberglass (it'll feel like fabric), buy 1/2 ft. of new fiberglass screening off the roll at the hardware store or home center or ask for a few small cutoffs. Also pick up either a rubber-based glue or Super Glue Gel. Then follow Photos 1 and 2. The key to a nice-looking repair is holding the straightedge tightly against the workbench so you can make a clean cutout (Photo 1).
If you've got an aluminum screen with a small hole, buy a patch kit at the hardware store or home center. It will contain several precut 1-1/2-in. patches with preformed hooks that fasten directly to the screen

SPARTANBURG, S.C.- The Brevard College softball team split their doubleheader on day two of the Mid-South Classic tournament on Saturday, edging Columbus State 4-2 in the game one before falling 4-3 to Lander in the nightcap.
Game 1: Brevard 4, Columbus State 2
Casey Whitaker hit a two-run homer in the top of the 7th to give the Tornados a 4-2 lead on their way to a win in the opener.
Jamie Hrobak (W, 5-3) retired the side in order in the 7th and held the Cougars to two runs in the complete-game effort, giving up only five hits and a pair of walks.
BC took a 1-0 lead in the 2nd on Michelle Ray's RBI groundout that scored Lauren Parker, and added their second run on an Ally Davenport RBI groundout in the 6th.
Davenport's RBI tied the game at 2-2 after Columbus State took a 2-1 lead on a double in the 3rd.
Game 2: Lander 4, Brevard 3
Lander took game two in walk-off fashion in the bottom of the 7th inning on a MacKenzie Smith single after Destiny Clyde doubled with one out.
The Tornados scored two runs in the 5th and added another in the 6th on a Kinsey Parrish RBI single to tie the game at 3-3 after Lander scored three runs in the 1st.
The Tornados will wrap the tournament tomorrow as they play Flagler at 10 a.m. and North Georgia at 2 p.m.

ifconfig or iwconfig should work.
I'm using the Backtrack Live CD and I tried to follow the instructions as on the backtrack video, but the step where my own WIFI address is shown (the "cat something" command) doesn't work... Which altenative command could I use to display my own MAC address?
ifconfig or iwconfig should work.
LOL if you don't even know that...you will not go far away in using bt...
i fell helpful to day so ....
go in shell
type "macchanger --show rausb0"(should be eth0 or something else according to your card)
with macchanger you can also fake a mac...
or simple way "ifconfig -a" will show you all cards even not upped card details...
Watch your back, your packetz will belong to me soon... xD
BackTrack : Giving Machine Guns to Monkeys since 2006
Yeah, well, everybody started out small, right?
Thanks for the help anyway.
Now, the trouble is actually not so much me not being able to find my own MAC address, but that it's "Not Associated" with anything:
Iwconfig reports my devices, but none of them associated with anything:
macchanger -s ath0 reports:
Current MAC: 0e:40:xx:xx:xx:xx (unknown)
I start to run into trouble a bit later when I use this:
airepla-ng -1 0 -e belkin -a [AP's MAC] -h [my MAC] ath0
when I get this answer:
The Interface MAC (0E:40:96etc) doesn't match the specified MAC (-h).
ifconfig ath0 hw ether 00:40:96etc
However, the information ends with "Association succesful"
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks again!
are you talking about in general when you try to connect to the internet? or when you are trying to inject packets?
As for the general. i get the same problem sometimes...well it's not a problem. i am inded connected to an AP and it shows so but in kwifi manager it says i am not associated. Not a problem and i just ignore it.
But this did not help you, im just ranting hah.
Please be a little more specific on the issue.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Deep in the heart of darkest Aventura, the intrepid explorer can find a treasure so sublime that many people have ... gasp ... thrown caution to the wind to seek it. Yes, it always has to do with cocoa. Krön Chocolatier has long been the favorite of the area's high-end chocolate lovers. The place not only sells your typical treats and truffles but also specializes in crafting standout gifts that will impress the worldliest connoisseur, your girlfriend, and even your Jewish grandmother. They also cook up life-size ladies' torsos and legs, in chocolate, for the cannibal or bachelor in your life who deserves only the very best. Don't forget to try the scrumptious cookies while you're there!
Remember that trip to Buenos Aires? There was supposed to be tango dancing until dawn and a smoky-eyed lover. Instead you tripped over your own feet and got fat eating alfajores. Now that you're back in Miami, the porteños are gone, but there are still alfajores. Buenos Aires Bakery offers three kinds of the cookie and dulce de leche sandwich at $2 a pop: dark chocolate, white chocolate, and maizena. The cookies are moist and the Argentine caramel perfectly gooey. Take a bite, make peace with your chubbiness, and daydream about the Paris of South America.
Argentine steaks are revered not because of how they're cooked, but because the meat is incredible. The cattle roam the fertile pastures of the pampas and are never forced to exert themselves (because exercise makes the meat tougher). They are carted around the country in train cars. This special treatment produces beef that melts when it hits your tongue and is unrivaled in tenderness and flavor.
But until just last year, the USDA — out of protectionism and semi-legitimate fears of hoof and mouth disease — banned the import of Argentine beef. Now that it can again be imported, you don't want to go to some fancy Argentine steak house and have them jack up the price on you just for cooking the meat. That's where Estancia Argentina comes in. It's a Miami-based chain owned by Buenos Aires transplants, with locations in Aventura, Coral Gables, Kendall, and Miramar. It's half restaurant, half market, and all good. The empanadas ($1.55) and sandwiches ($8) are delicious, made fresh with quality ingredients. The walls are lined with bottles of wine, so you can buy a Malbec and drink it with your meal. The meat counter is to drool over, with all sorts of Argentine beef cuts, cheeses, chorizos, and chimichurris. They also have great desserts ($1 to $5). The place is always packed with Spanish speakers enjoying a cup of vino or guarana soda with meaty skirt steak or prosciutto and mozzarella sandwiches. Join them.
There's no Brie, quail eggs, or diced jalapeños baked into the dough of the bagels at this Kendall joint. Nor is there any caviar-infused shmear or exotic fruit toppings shipped from some remote village in the heart of the Amazon. That's because The Bagel Express, a non-descript delicatessen squeezed into a small, suburban strip mall, simply makes great bagels. There's greatness in the first bite. And the second. And the thirtieth.
Made from scratch and baked fresh daily, the bagels here are classics — pumpernickel, sesame, egg, poppy seed, garlic, salt, cinnamon, plain, and everything. The price: $6.60 for six and $11.95 for a baker's dozen. For the carb-conscious, there's also whole wheat and eight-grain available with your choice of regular or low-fat cream cheese (plain, chive, vegetable, strawberry, and honey walnut) for $2.75 a pop. Speaking of pop, The Bagel Express has Dr. Brown sodas (diet and regular). Then there's fresh, hand-sliced Nova lox for $7.99 per quarter pound and delicious, buttery rugelach for $10.95 a platter.
Still not convinced? Oy vey! Then swing on in after the morning rush and try a Boar's Head deli sandwich served in a large woven basket with your choice of bagel, for $7.95. While you're there — now don't get all verklempt — ponder this: Although a bagel topped with Alba white truffle cream cheese and goji berry-infused Riesling jelly sounds superb, it'll run you $1,000 at the Westin Hotel in Times Square. But these tasty bites in Kendall will cost you a mere $1.25 each. Enjoy!
If great bread is the staff of life, all of us here in South Florida are living on borrowed time, eating mushy, pallid, tasteless loaves made from ultrarefined flour that no self-respecting Parisian or Italian would use for a doorstop. But thankfully, for those special occasions, we have La Provence, where you can get a proper baguette ($2) or crusty loaf of sourdough ($2.25) or hunk of multigrain ($4.35). But man (and woman) doesn't live by bread alone, so if you're hungry for a light, flaky croissant; luscious Danish, fruit tart, or cheesecake; even savory quiches or empanadas, La Provence has you covered there too. Just no doorstops.
For more than nine years, Aziza Yuself has made Varanda's a place where Brazilians can savor authentic cuisine. That's why the low-key eatery draws so many of the Brazilian expatriates residing in North Beach, who can watch Brazilian television and have long conversations in Portuguese while dining on exceptionally good food, especially the muqueca de peixe, fish perfectly simmered in a coconut sauce ($14.95). Meat lovers will enjoy the picadinho ao mohlo, beef strips in a delicious hot sauce, for $10.95, or the frango ao mohlo curry, curry chicken in coconut sauce for $13.95. For many folks, Varanda's is a home away from home, but even if you're not from São Paulo, you can drop by too.

Betsy Brandt
March 25, 2014
Breaking Bad's Betsy Brandt is off to become a member of The Club, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Club is a 13-episode drama about a private country club, and is a so-called "upstairs/downstairs soap," meaning it will focus on the class divisions between the main characters of the series, much like the PBS drama Downton Abbey.
Brandt is set to play a character named Leslie Holbrook, a fish-out-of-water single mother whose husband ran out on her with his own stepmother, leaving the family country club on the brink of financial ruin.
The series was created by Erin Brockovich writer Susannah Grant, who will pen the entire series as well as executive produce the 13-episodes that have already been ordered.
As for Brandt, this is the second series she's joined that already had a multiple-episode commitment, the first being The Michael J. Fox Show. This is also the second time in two weeks that Brandt has landed a job, as she was just cast in the Showtime series Master of Sex.

My gut feeling is that for database work, they will smoke P3's. In a dual P3, you're sharing a 133 MHz bus between both processors, giving each CPU an effective 66 MHz bus if they're both working at full tilt. With the Athlons, each CPU has an independant 266 MHz bus, and even sharing the bandwidth to the memory, they still have an effective 133 MHz each, due to the DDR RAM. So, for working with large tables, where you have to move very large amounts of data to/from RAM in a short amount of time, having twice the bandwidth will probably make a very large difference. > In case you want to order one, it's a Dell PE 2500 with rackmount kit an > 6 73GB disks, UPS, and 3 year support.

I've used Dells before, and while they're decent machines, the machines that I build myself are less expensive, just as reliable, and faster. For less money than that, we put together a quad Xeon, with SCA backplanes, hardware RAID, the works, and that was over a year ago. Of course, I realize that being in Europe probably increases your cost, and decreases your selection. (Incidentally, I'm thinking of testing a dual Athlon to replace the quad Xeon. The MHz rating would be similar (2.4 GHz to 2.8 GHz), but under heavy load, each Xeon has the equivalent of a 25 MHz bus, so even when the machine is maxed out, the bus seems to be the largest bottleneck. I don't think I've ever seen the CPU's hit more than about 80% utilization, they're sitting around waiting for data. steve

Microsoft recently released the consumer preview of Microsoft Office 2013. The preview is available free of charge at: http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/en
This is part two of a series of articles describing some of the changes and new features in Office 2013.
Microsoft Excel 2013 includes the traditional ribbon style interface of the 2007/2010 versions of Excel, with some exciting improvements – especially when it comes to how you save and share documents. Check out the article on Word 2013 to see some of the existing save and sharing features in Office 2013. Let's get to it!
The default screen when you open Excel 2013 is the new template window, which lets you search both local and online templates to create new documents. If you select an online template, it will automatically download and open for you. This window also shows you recent documents you've opened for quick access to them. This new starting location is really great for the novice users and for someone looking for a quick starting point to create a spreadsheet.
The most dramatic change (and helpful) is the quick analysis tool which lets you do a wide variety of functions by just highlighting some data in your spreadsheet. The types of things you can do are not new to Excel, but the ease of access and the quick preview showing you what the function will look like is.
One option under the quick analysis tool is formatting, which lets you format the information a variety of ways. For the example above, hovering over data bars fills the cell with a bar showing the percent of the column maximum value that value is. In the example, you can quickly see which orders had the highest price and total. Included in this option set is a greater than tool which is fantastic for highlighting only information of a certain number or higher. For instance, if you wanted to only highlight orders over $500.00 that required special delivery insurance.
The totals section in quick analysis will let you do things such as running total, sum, average, count, % total and the preview for the option selected will automatically appear on the next row of collumn in your spreadsheet. The example above shows the % of total in bold black text on the right.
The charts tool lets you create smart charts, which will display graphs of your information in an easy to understand format. The best part of these new charts is when you change a variable the chart will redraw in a very fluid manner to show you the effect the change has had on the other values. This is great for visualizing in meetings how a 1% change in profit could effect the bottom line.
Excel 2013 also offers the same SkyDrive integration and default saving I mentioned in the Word 2013 article. to see the example document I've talked about in the SkyDrive cloud click here.
Does Excel 2013 have any problems? Oddly enough the current implementation of SkyDrive does not allow multiple users to edit a document at the same time. You receive instead a warning advising you the file is locked. The positive of this method is you won't accidentally edit a spreadsheet someone else has open, but the downside is the spreadsheet can't be opened at multiple computers at the same time. This feature of other cloud based documents is useful, and we're hoping Microsoft fixes this oversight shortly.
Is Excel worth the upgrade? It really depends how often you work with data. If you want some really powerful tools to quickly analyze information along with the ability to save and share documents in the cloud then the answer is yes.
Keep an eye out for the third in this series of articles on Office 2013 where I discuss Powerpoint 2013.

If you cannot find the answer to your tax question below, visit the online section about Indiana tax overview, credits or deductions. If you still cannot find the answer to your specific tax question, contact the department or call our automated information line at (317) 232-2240.
If you were paid to work at anytime during the year, and you made more than $1,000, you must file a tax return. Each time you receive a paycheck from your employer federal, state and, in most cases, county taxes are deducted from your wages. To find out if too much or not enough tax was taken out of your paychecks, you must file a state tax return. After filing the return, you may find you do not owe the state. But the state may owe you a refund.
If you made more than $1,000 in wages you must file a state tax return. It's the law.
Not only is it your legal duty to file your state tax return, but to get your refund, you must file a completed tax return.
Federal and state tax laws and rates are not the same. It is possible to owe Indiana taxes and get a refund from your federal taxes in the same year.
No, but the first $1,000 that you make is exempt from tax. Everyone in Indiana gets a minimum $1,000 exemption.
Yes, if they claimed you as a dependent on their federal tax return.
Yes. Indiana allows all filers to claim their own exemption on their state return (even if your parents or guardians claimed you, too.)
Pay as much of the bill as you can by April 15 to reduce the amount of penalty and interest that will be added to the bill.
As soon as you receive a bill from the department, call the number on the bill to see what payment options may be available.
Visit the Department's Individual Frequently Asked Questions for more information.

WATCH: 'Real Housewives' star Kenya Moore gives her side of the eviction story
(Yahoo!) - The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" is on hiatus, but the soap opera of Kenya Moore's life continues.
On Thursday, the former Miss USA called into "The Wendy Williams Show" to talk about being evicted from her residence in Roswell, Georgia, outside Atlanta.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that a Fulton County judge ruled against Moore, and in favor of her landlord, Conya Dillon, on Tuesday, after neither Moore nor her lawyer appeared in court. Dillon had claimed that the 42-year-old reality star didn't pay $848 of the $3,999 she pays each month in rent.
When Moore spoke with Williams via phone — true to "Housewife" form — she brought the drama.
"First of all, we never got notice of court date, so that's going to be overturned and we will have another court date," Moore said defiantly. "It isn't over until the fat lady sings."
"Secondly," she added, "This is absolutely absurd. I've paid this woman nearly $52,000 in rent and she has a $6,000 security deposit of mine. I have paid her May rent and paid her June, and my lease is up in three weeks. So this whole thing is absolutely ridiculous."
Moore was sassy as usual when she explained her theory of why she's on the landlady's bad side.
"I don't know if it's necessarily so personal, but the key is Wendy — now, it gets a little complicated — but she's taking her ex-husband back to court, and I can't help it if I live a fabulous life and she can no longer afford to be in the house."

Wright State productions take place on campus in the Creative Arts Center, which brings together the fine arts disciplines in one place, including Theatre Arts, Music, and Art and Art History.
The Creative Arts Center contains three unique performance spaces for theatre productions, where students demonstrate their talents as actors, dancers, directors, musicians, designers, stage managers, and technicians.
The Festival Playhouse
Large-scale theatrical performances and dance concerts are presented in the Festival Playhouse (also known as the Robert and Elaine Stein Auditorium), which offers excellent sight lines and acoustics in an intimate atmosphere. The Playhouse features a large main stage comparable to many Broadway and regional theatres, offstage wings and storage areas, and a hydraulically adjusted orchestra pit. The handicap-accessible auditorium seats 376 on the main floor and in the balcony.
The Dorothy M. & Isabel Herbst Theatre
The Herbst Theatre is a large, flexible performing facility, seating from 70 to 100 audience members. This unique space, often called a "black box" theatre, can be configured to host a wide range of actor/audience configurations, including proscenium, three-quarter-thrust, and in-the-round seating. Productions in the Herbst Theatre often "complement" the season of shows in the Festival theatre with a wide range of theatrical presentations, from classics such as Sophocles, Shakespeare, and Chekhov (such as "Uncle Vanya" featured in the above photo), to modern musicals (such as "A Little Night Music" and "Spring Awakening"), to world premiere experiemental theatre pieces, and contemporary 'cutting edge' scripts, such as Neil LaBute's "The Shape of Things" and Tony Kushner's "Angels in American: Parts I & II."
The Directing Lab
The Directing Lab is a 92-seat proscenium theatre, available to any theatre arts major who wants to rehearse and present his or her own theatrical production. This modern, fully equipped theatre has hosted a variety of productions, from modern dramas to one-person shows, from musical revues to original scripts. This Directing Lab presents an unique opportunity that few theatre programs in America can offer: a totally student-run performance space which is usually a hive of theatrical activity every weekend of the school year with student directed, designed and acted productions.

"Wait, Later This Will Be Nothing: Editions by Dieter Roth"
As with the rest of his art, Roth pushed the envelope hard when it came to publishing editioned multiples, using everything from chocolate and rabbit turds to sausages and stale croissants as materials. In fact, some of the most radical artworks of his oeuvre were made in this way. This show covers the period 1960 to 1975, spanning, arguably, his most creative years.

India to create internet hub
Page Tools
India has announced the creation of a national internet service hub to connect all service providers and boost web traffic.
Until now, domestic internet service providers have been forced to rely on international traffic routing providers to run their websites.
Information and Technology Minister Dayanidhi Maran said the policy will help to "proliferate the internet" as domestic service providers will be able to reduce the cost of traffic routing and improve service for subscribers.
The National internet Exchange of India (NIXI) is being formed by the government in partnership with the internet Service Providers Association.
The country has around 25 to 30 million internet subscribers, but the government is hoping to boost the number to 40 million by 2010 among its population of 1.04 billion.
Giant neighbour China's internet's population, by contrast, is estimated at around 87 million, according to a government report in July. China's population is estimated at around 1.3 billion.
The government also simplified rules for registering domain names in India to enable them to hook up to the nationwide internet exchange. From next January, firms will be able to get .IN (for India) domain names online and complete the registration process in less than 24 hours.
Just 7000 domestic firms have registered domain names in India, although there are tens of thousands of websites run by Indian companies and groups.
Maran said the national internet exchange would help increase internet speed and lower tariffs as much internet traffic could now be generated inside India.
Industry service providers hailed the move as a boost for the business now reviving after thousands of e-commerce and other dotcom ventures folded due to high costs and poor demand.
"It's high time India became an internet superpower," said Amitabh Singha, president of the Internet Service Providers Association.
"The policy will definitely give a boost. If you don't have a robust internet infrastructure, it can doom any country's future," Singha added.
Singha said a major benefit of the national internet exchange will be that it will improve internet access quality.
"These moves should help make Indian internet a major component of worldwide internet. Today, Indian internet is seen as a very insignificant part of the global internet economy," Singha said.
With the economy expanding, electronic commerce has started picking up in India with retailers even seeing opportunities in backward rural areas.

A 22-year-old teacher in the Wall Township system reportedly is accused of carrying on an affair with a 15-year-old student.
News 12 reports that Kalee Warnick was charged and released on $50,000 bail Wednesday. The complaint charges her with aggravated criminal sexual contact and endangering the welfare of a child.
Wall Police were notified of the incident on July 14 according to the Patch of Wall which reports she is an English teacher and one of four teachers hired by for the school board for summer in-home instruction.
The teacher's attorney, Alton Kenney, tells The Associated Press she will plead not guilty "because she is, in fact, not guilty." He says he expects her to be exonerated and return to work as a teacher.
Attorney James Maggs, who is assisting the boy's family, says he has gone through a "horrible ordeal."
The report says that Warnick has a court appearance scheduled for August 6.
