I grew up in Fairfield County, CT…part of the NY DMA. As a middle child (cause for therapy #1), I found it necessary to root for the opposite of anything my brothers liked.
They liked the Yankees, so I became a lifelong fan of their natural enemies – the Mets & the Red Sox.
They liked the Giants; well, just paint my face Jet green.
Rangers? In the 70's, that sent me rooting for Orr, Espo, and Cheevers.
My brothers weren't big basketball fans – so, that left the Knicks open for the taking.
Miracle on Ice? Try being the only kid in a high school of two thousand rooting for the Soviets (cause for therapy #2).
If I struggle, I can probably invent some positives that came out of all this. Learning how to take a punch, honing my debate skills by attempting to defend the hapless Mets vs. the dynastic Yankees, being a Red Sox fan who actually enjoyed the 1986 World Series…
But, after living and working in Boston for the past 20+ years, I now find myself in a confusing position – from a business perspective, perfectly comfortable advertising with any team, as long as it makes sense for my clients' businesses.
Personally, though, I'm fiercely loyal to some of the local teams, while watching Belichick leave the Jets at the altar and deliver a dynasty to the bad guys (cause for therapy #3).
Is it too late to still blame my brothers for all this? As a Bruins-Mets-Sox-Jets-Knicks fan, am I somehow both Boston and New York's middle child?
As we prepare in Boston for the playoffs for some teams, and the beginning of the season for others, I'll just say Go B's & Go Sox and leave it at that (I'm late for a much-needed appointment).

Red Is Dead For Rihanna, Gwyneth Wants Fries With That, And More…
Mass beauty giant Proctor & Gamble is joining the green movement by introducing sustainable and recyclable plastic sourced from Brazilian sugarcane in its CoverGirl, Pantene, and Max Factor brands. It's not zero parabens and preservatives, but every little bit counts. [WWD]
Rihanna has gotten over her ill-advised devotion to red hair dye and returned to her brunette roots. Let us be the first to say, "Finally." [People]
And so, the truth comes out. Gwyneth Paltrow, Country Strong star, mother of two, and poster child for the macrobiotic diet, revealed to Conan O'Brien that she not only owns a deep fryer but uses it all the time. "Fried food is my weakness. I don't have a sweet tooth," she says. Us too! [Daily Mail]
Speaking of full disclosure—or lack thereof—Claire Danes' Latisse spokesperson gig may be in jeopardy as a "source" has come forward claiming that the actress, whose lashes are long and lethal, has severe hyperpigmentation from the prescription growth serum. Bad for business. [NYP]
First Oprah's makeup artist, Reggie Wells, debuted a new range of products for HissyFit Cosmetics, and now comes news that her hairstylist, Andre Walker, will launch his own range of coiffing products on HSN this week. Looks like everyone is hedging their bets now that the talk show hostess with the mostess is going off the air. [Stylelist]

News.com reported that the suit issued back in July 2005 over the Wayback Machine and the Internet Archive has now been settled. Of course, the terms of the settlement have not been released to the public. In short, there was a page archived by the Wayback Machine that had sensitive information on it, the Wayback Machine technically should not of indexed it but a "temporary bug" had it indexed for a bit. Brewster Kahle of the Internet Archive said, "this is really a lawsuit between two parties and we got sort of dragged into it and I'm glad we're now out of it."

I do a lot of audio/video work during my day-to-day tasks at LockerGnome. During that time, I've gone through my fair share of equipment here in the home office. Some of this equipment I'd rather not speak about, but there are a handful of these products that I would absolutely recommend.
One thing you learn in the world of tech writing is that every product, no matter how great it is compared to everything else in its class, has faults. There are no exceptions in this group, as I've become acutely aware of the flaws and hassles that accompany each of these devices. Some of them are recommended because they work every time I use them, while others I'd recommend based on comparisons with other options in the same price range.
Bottom line: if you take audio and video production seriously, you want equipment that you know will work. Guessing which products will or will not perform the way you need them to while you're capturing moments that will not repeat themselves is vital. Each of these products has passed the test on multiple occasions, and that makes them among my favorite here in the home office.
Here are my top five audio/video gadgets.
AKG PERCEPTION 420 Microphone
If audio quality is absolutely vital to whatever it is you do, you might want to consider stepping up to a professional microphone. Entry-level headsets and microphones are great for keeping your podcast or daily voice calls under budget, and will undoubtedly work for the majority of your needs. That said, budget USB condenser microphones don't quite capture the same rich and full tones as a professional mic.
The PERCEPTION 420 from AKG features a large dual-diaphragm true-condenser design with switchable polar patterns to meet a variety of recording needs from vocals to instruments. This is the kind of microphone you would find in a professional recording studio, radio station, or even in the arsenal of a professional podcaster. It looks good, sounds good, and is extremely reliable.
When compared to the AT2020, another favorite at LockerGnome, the PERCEPTION 420 produces significantly more vibrant tones, adding a tough of depth to a speaker's voice. This is the kind of mic you want to have on your desk when recording a voiceover. Combine it with some software audio editing, and you've got the start of a truly professional recording solution for under $250.
Bose Companion 2 Series II Speakers
These speakers have added a touch of richness to my gaming and music listening experience. They take up just a little space on my desk, and have enough drive and punch to fill my home office with sound. At under $100, they are currently the cheapest set of Bose speakers you can find.
Perhaps one of my favorite features about them is that each set comes with dual inputs that allow you to connect two stereo sources at the same time. Not having to integrate a splitter or some other go-between is a big plus as I hate having to use extra cabling. A lack of a second volume knob (found on the MediaMate) can be a problem if you don't want to control each device's volume from the device itself.
One downside I should note is that while Bose speakers sound pretty good, and work great with general media, they lack the highs and lows that are needed for audio mastering. If you edit audio tracks as part of your passion and/or job, you might want to invest in some good headphones to plug into them.
That said, they still make my top five list because they're currently the best set of desktop budget speakers I've used that don't require a giant subwoofer crowding your feet. I love the sound that they produce, and not having to pay a fortune for something better is always a bonus.
M-Audio MobilePre
I love having a reliable audio source to record from. The MobilePre from M-Audio has provided an excellent hardware interface for multiple audio sources for the past two years. I've used it and abused it daily, but it keeps providing crystal clear audio and proving to be the perfect interface to fit my needs. Two powered XLR/TS combo jacks in the front and two line inputs in the back make connecting just about anything you need directly to your computer a snap. I use it primarily to power my PERCEPTION 420 condenser microphone.
What I like most about it is that it allows me to tweak the volume settings at the source rather than having to do so with software once it reaches the PC. A USB 2.0 connection makes it perfectly compatible with Mac or PC. It even gives me the option to plug a set of speakers directly into it for source-level monitoring. I can't say enough good things about this device.
I've worked with quite a few audio interfaces before. The one I used primarily before this was the PreSonus FireStudio Mobile. While it was a great device on its own, I had a few issues with it. The M-Audio MobilePre worked right out of the box and has been working non-stop ever since.
Samsung HM3500 Bluetooth Stereo Headset
I've never really enjoyed a Bluetooth headset before I bought the HM3500 from Samsung. Not only was this set remarkably cheap, but it allowed me to listen to stereo audio including music and audiobooks from a single earpiece. If I'm so inclined, I can connect the included stereo earbuds to hear audio in both ears. This is a great option, and not a lot of budget-level Bluetooth headsets offer it.
The HM3500 also includes multipoint technology, which enables you to connect two devices to it, simultaneously. I've never had a problem pairing this device. It hasn't failed to connect right away when I'm in range of my iPhone.
Noise reduction is pretty good, but it could be better. This is one area where the HM3500 shows its budget nature. If you plan on using it to talk to someone while you're driving a sports car with the top down, you might want to consider another earpiece. Again, the noise reduction works, but there are better options out there at a higher price.
Canon VIXIA HFR20 Camcorder
I have an iPhone, but I also know that there are some things you shouldn't trust to a smartphone. Video recording may be great on it, but sometimes you need something a little extra to capture the best possible image when you need it most. For that, I have the VIXIA HFR20 from Canon.
This camcorder features a true 1080p CMOS image sensor, excellent optical and digital zoom capabilities, and plenty of storage capacity. 8 GB of internal storage is included, with two expansion slots for SDXC cards. This gives me plenty of hours of filming capability without having to dump the video data to a computer or external drive. Relay recording allows you to record a single stream of content across three different storage drives.
The image stabilization options on the HFR20 could use some work. While I'm sure it does quite a lot, it isn't good as stabilization options you might find on other camcorders in its price range.
Colors are vibrant, low-light situations are handled with ease, and the whole unit fits in a cargo pants pocket. I've used this camcorder in a variety of different situations from professional production to home videos, and it hasn't failed me yet. There are times, however, when switching between manual and automatic modes will throw off relay recording and you'll have to set that up again.
This camcorder isn't perfect, but it may well be one of the best options in its class.

In the Sept. 19 issue of the Lake Country Echo, the story about Pequot Lakes and Crosslake libraries stated that Kitchigami Regional Library System (KRLS) presented the Crosslake Library with a proposal to become a branch library operating 25 hours a week.
Marian Ridge, KRLS director, said she presented not a proposal but an estimate, and the estimate was for 32 hours of operating time a week, not 25.
The Echo-Journal regrets the error.

Local leaders oppose two similar bills in the N.C. General Assembly to reduce early voting programs.
North Carolina will have a new and very different Lt. Governor come January. Dan Forest is an extremely conservative Republican from Raleigh who, though the son of a congresswoman, has never before served in elected office. An architect by training, Forest defeated Democrat Linda Coleman by a razor-thin margin in a race that wasn't officially settled until more than a week after Election Day.
The trailing Democratic Party candidate for lieutenant governor said Monday she won't seek a statewide recount, admitting that a new tally was unlikely to make up the nearly 6,900 votes she needs. And it would cost North Carolina's 100 counties at least $1.5 million to recount.
Below is campaign finance information for all the local candidates who opened finance committees with the Union County Board of Elections. All contributions and disbursments are reported by the individual campaigns and are public record.
Though he understands the frustration, John Steward, chairman of the Union County Republican Party, does not find this kind of reaction to be productive.
A total of 8,221 people, 58.9 percent of the cast ballots, were in favor of the town borrowing $8.5 million to begin construction on municipal parks. That amount would spur development of two large parks with amenities like an athletic complex, dog park, playgrounds, disk golf and walking trails.

iPhone 1.1.4 Firmware Update now available, already jailbroken
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Software
Looks like we have new iPhone firmware as well this morning! In addition to refreshing their MacBook and MacBook Pro lines to Penryn processors, Apple has also released the new iPhone 1.1.4 firmware. Go ahead and check for a new update after connecting your iPhone to iTunes. Of course, if you are
unlocked, you may want to wait for a bit while everything gets figured out. Apple is saying this release is all about bug fixes - but we are hoping there is also some iPhone SDK magic in there somewhere.
EDIT: Okay, if you are jailbroken, go ahead and update. ZiPhone still works, and will jailbreak the just-released 1.1.4 firmware update…although the developer recommends waiting until he can fully test. Your call.

so what features are there with 1.1.4? is there going to be a video?
Hey Bob,
We are still holding out hope for Flash. Like I speculated, I think it will be alongside the SDK…but who knows when THAT will launch?

AngloGold a Bargain at $30
Jordo is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Gold has hit historic highs in recent years, but it recently took a tumble from its high of just over $1,900 an ounce. Because of this, gold mining stocks have taken a hit as gold declines. But this sell-off was overdone, and gold has begun to move back up. One of the stocks that have been undervalued as a result of the sell-off is AngloGold Ashanti (NYSE: AU).
AngloGold Ashanti primarily engages in the exploration and production of gold. It also produces silver, uranium oxide and sulfuric acid. The company conducts gold mining operations in South Africa; continental Africa, including Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Namibia and Tanzania; Australia, and the Americas, which include Argentina, Brazil and the United States. It also has mining or exploration operations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea and Colombia. As of Dec. 31, 2011, the company had proved and probable gold reserves of 71.2 million ounces.
Investors should look closely at AngloGold. The company has been involved in ongoing strikes at its holdings in South Africa. These strikes have ended but they had a negative impact on production which hurt the company on its bottom line this quarter. But as the outlook on gold continues to improve amid worldwide economic uncertainty and the strong possibility of inflation there is very good reason to be bullish on AngloGold. With its weak earnings report in the third quarter this year due to the South African labor problems, now is a great time to buy this stock as it is sitting right at its 52-week low.
Comparing AngloGold with the Australian mining giant BHP Billiton (NYSE: BHP) investors will see that AngloGold is in a better position by not being overly exposed to the poor performing iron ore market. BHP has taken a hit in large part due to the declining price of iron ore. The company is also hurt by the very strong Australian dollar. These trends look to continue as the Australian dollar looks to remain strong and there remains a glut of iron ore inventory. Similarly AngloGold has not suffered the decline that Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) has seen over the last two years, where it has lost roughly 40% of its value. Declining copper prices have hurt the world's largest copper mining company. Both of these companies will benefit with rising gold prices, but not as much as AngloGold, which has a larger focus on gold than either of these two companies.
The good news is that AngloGold's rut is now behind them. The South African strike ended last month. Production has resumed at the mine, which was producing roughly 32,000 ounces per gold a week before the strike. The company's South African assets combined to produce 32% of the company's total production. Having the mine back on line will make a huge positive difference to the country's bottom line.
With the problems in South Africa receiving a great deal of press it is easy to forget that AngloGold is an internationally diverse company. It has operations not only in South Africa and the Congo, but also in Australia, Latin America, and the United States. While I am concerned about the recent problems in South Africa and the instability of the Congo region the company derives most of its revenue from the more stable areas of the Americas and Australia. Plus, stability comes with a price as well. Namely, higher labor costs. Agnico-Eagle Mines (NYSE: AEM) operates exclusively in stable areas. The company also has to pay more per ounce of gold mined in these regions due to the increased labor costs. While these increased labor costs are not in themselves reasons to abandon Agnico-Eagle they do put in perspective the problems facing mining companies like AngloGold with their mining operations in certain areas.
I look at the labor problems hitting AngloGold in South Africa as a blessing in disguise. This company is a great addition to the value investor's portfolio. For a company that produces over 4 million ounces of gold per year, $30 a share is not just a good value, it is a downright steal. Yet that is where the trading seems to be leveled out. Ashanti is geographically diversified. It is an expert in gold, which though can be turbulent, is also highly profitable.
For further proof that this company is a great buy at around $30 per share, consider that another gold mining company Goldcorp (NYSE: GG) has seen its stock increase by some 20% since hitting lows this summer. Goldcorp stock is beginning to track the price of gold more closely. This is eventually what will happen to all mining companies with a heavy emphasis on gold. As this happens AngloGold will see its stock uptick tremendously. The news of the labor problems in South Africa will begin to fade, and as the company gets production back up and running at full speed the stock could return to the $40 per share range before the final earnings report of the year. When that earnings report is published I expect the stock to really take off. This is a stock with tremendous value and tremendous upside.

This is Malasia writing this.
This is hte final post on this account, I'll leave it open for historic purposes but it will never be used again past this.
Keegan died trying to save me from my mother, and his own mother died in the final confrontation to seal away my mother.
They were two of the best people I've ever met, and their deaths will forever be heavy on my heart.
They were loved when they were alive, and will be loved still, and missed.
Thank you both so much for everything you've ever done for me, and I'm so sorry. So sorry.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR | Politicians' absence won't be forgotten
To the editor:
What a difference time, topic and accountability make in the appearance of our state representatives.
It was a mere 63 days ago that had 125 residents of Whidbey Island met anyway, our state representatives, seeking your vote would have swarmed to any such event. The Jan. 6 public hearing on the future of the ferry system at the Useless Bay Country Club was another matter.
Ferry Director Moseley and Planning Chief Deardorf were left to make chicken salad from chicken "bleep" by a state Legislature which determines the funding for the system.
No member of the state Legislature attended the meeting. They were conspicuous by their absence, but I am sure they all had conflicts with their schedule, given the topic and their sorry excuse for accountability that has gotten us into this mess.
Try to remember their absence at the next election.

For the second time in five games, a suspension strapped Kyle Beckerman to the bench. For the second time in five games, Yordany Alvarez was there to fill the void.
Signed as a backup in February, Alvarez was effective Saturday in his third start of the season, showing off great footwork and mobility in a 2-0 win over Colorado. With an All Star-sized hole to fill, Alvarez manned the midfield well and was aggressive across the pitch. A rough estimate credits him with as many as 10 tackles in the game's first 30 minutes.
Friday's gameVancouver at RSL, 7 p.m., TV » CW30

"He won the lion's share of 50-50s," said defender Nat Borchers. "He was very good with his distribution, got stuck in a lot of tackles. I was very satisfied with how he played. He even got forward a few times and created some chances."
Added midfielder Will Johnson: "He was very solid. Made some tackles for us. Great when he can step in for Kyle to do a great job like that. I don't know what more you could say. Really solid game."
The suspensions haven't helped a roster that has also been hampered by injuries. RSL entered the weekend with only 59 minutes of play from its "first choice" starting XI this year — a stretch cut short by, perhaps fittingly, a red card to Johnson in a May 5 win over New England.
When Beckerman returns Friday against Vancouver, another player is swapping out onto the unavailable list. Reserve Jonny Steele will serve a one-game suspension after drawing his fifth yellow card in the 82nd minute against the Rapids.
Defender Jamison Olave and forward Alvaro Saborio both have four yellow cards and will be suspended should they incur another. Olave can earn a caution reduction with two more "good behavior" games.
Rimando second in all-time MLS wins
Goalkeeper Nick Rimando took sole possession of second place on the all-time MLS wins list Saturday, earning his 132nd career win and moving past former Chicago, New York and Chivas USA keeper Zach Thornton.
Rimando didn't record any saves, but that was due partially to RSL's stiff defense and Colorado's anemic shooting. Questioned about his milestone after the game, he fell back on his habit of crediting the team.
"On offseason we could talk about awards, stats, etc., but tonight the team won, and I'm happy because it was much needed," said Rimando, who was also invited to train with the U.S. national team in May. "We want to continue to move forward we don't look at stats, we look at how the game goes, we were organized and fought hard."
FC Dallas goalkeeper Kevin Hartman leads MLS history with 175 career victories. He made one save in Dallas' 5-0 victory over Portland this past weekend.

The blood elves also basically provide what is likely the *only* post-scarcity/well above subsistence-level economy in the entire Horde.
Let's put it this way: what do the *other* members of the Horde have to provide in the way of *salable trade goods*? The Tauren are, even now, largely subsistence-level hunters and gatherers, whose primary export goods would be hides and leathers, perhaps some small quantity of foodstuffs. The trolls, likewise, are primarily at the subsistence level, whose primary salable export would likely be rice -- though, given that rice appears to be the grain staple food of the Horde, it's likely that their entire product is either sold or otherwise used internally, i.e., it doesn't enter into the open goblin cartel run trade market. The orcs and the Forsaken are primarily exporting *warfare.* The Bilgewater Cartel is facilitating this export.
What do the blood elves have? An economy that is largely internally productive and self-supporting. Their primary import is probably food. Their primary exports? Cloth -- finished pieces and wholesale cloth exports. Alchemical products. Magical devices, armor, weapons, enchantments that can be purchased and applied at an individual basis. Engineering products that are less likely than either goblin or gnomish devices to blow the user's arms off. The produce of their archaeological endeavors. Some of this they can do in considerable bulk. The blood elves are basically the master artisan craftspeople of the Horde, the race most likely to be producing trade goods desirable across factional lines for both their beauty and their utility -- blood elf aesthetics are *awesome* aesthetics, and they have left their artistic stamp on some of the most important places in the world, even now.
Given that there's more than one goblin cartel, I can see the blood elves being the economic engine of the Horde via trade through the Steamwheedle Cartel and other neutral parties who exchange goods and services across factional lines as middle-men. Somebody in Orgrimmar finally got wise to this and decided that if the blood elves couldn't provide "blood" to the Horde war machine in significant quantities -- they probably have one of the lowest canonical populations in the world, after all -- then they could damn well provide "treasure" to help pay for all those blimps and boats and bombs. Lots and lots of treasure.

Terrence Boyd grew up in Germany, but he loves America.A lot. The talented-but-raw striker is perhaps the most vocal player on the United States team about his excitement to play for the Red, White, and Blue.
Boyd, to U.S. Soccer after the U-23's crushing tie with El Salvador: "I'm proud of my team, and for the first time I really felt what it's like to fight for your country." And again to Goal.com during the U.S.'s trip to Guatemala for a qualifier: "There was no second-guessing before, and now that it's official I'm totally committed to the U.S. I just wanted to express my feeling that I'm quite glad that I've been given the opportunity to play for the U.S. It's a big honor." His Twitter feed is full of similar sentiment.
He'll get plenty of chances to demonstrate that passion on the field. Jurgen Klinsmann loves the forward, whom he says is fearless and willing to do anything. What Boyd most needs is seasoning, which he will hopefully get after transferring from Borussia Dortmund—where he dominated on the reserve team—to Rapid Vienna. Though sad to leave Germany, Boyd was excited about his move to the Austrian Bundesliga. "The league is good for young players," he said. "Plus they are in qualification for Europa League, and the coach wants me and I need that feeling." He responded well, scoring a raft of goals in his first few appearances.
On the national team front, Boyd—who was originally recruited by Thomas Rongen for the U-20s—will continue to fight for time in the senior team starting XI. With no forwards grabbing hold of the position, there's plenty of room for him to see action. And frankly, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Boyd becomes the first-choice starter at some point in the near future. He certainly has the passion.—NOAH DAVIS
Klinsmann on Boyd:
"He's a young player who is on his way up, but he doesn't care who he's playing against. In training, he goes full speed against [Oguchi Onyewu]. He doesn't back up. It gives us more options." (June 2012)
"Terrence is one of our promising talents that we're trying to develop. He's one of these guys that should be in London 2012 but unfortunately is not. It makes it more difficult for the Brek Sheas and [Juan] Agudelos and Joe Coronas of the world, so we have to kind of bring them along and help them wherever we can and give them their space to show what they can do. I think Terrence's work rate was outstanding and his hunger for finishing off-chances is tremendous. It's something that we really love to see and that's why we keep working with him and giving him those opportunities. It's really nice to see what Terrence has achieved within the last couple of months." (June 2012)

POZ Interview: Derek Sanders and Lauren Wilhelm
It's easy to forget when we're singing along with our stereos, but there's a lot more to our favorite musicians than what they show us on stage. PropertyOfZack Senior Writer Jesse Richman spoke with Mayday Parade's Derek Sanders and his long-time girlfriend Lauren Wilhelm, who performs as Dazy (The Girl), for an in-depth look at the real lives behind rock stardom. In Part I below, we talk about growing up in Tallahassee, the beginning of their relationship, life at home with daughter Grey, and the practical realities of launching a career. Stay tuned for Part II tomorrow!

POZ Interview: Derek Sanders and Lauren Wilhelm (Part II)
by Jesse Richman
POZ: Let's start with the story of you two. I want to spend some time just talking about what life is like for the two of you behind the scenes. How did you meet?
DS: Well, we met over ten years ago. We met when I was sixteen and Lauren was fifteen, actually, at a show that an old band of mine in high school was doing that Lauren was… It's kind of a long story.
POZ: I've got time! Go for the long version.
DS: Yeah, well, it was a friend of a friend's birthday party kind of thing that we were playing, Lauren was there and we became friends. We dated back then, over ten years ago, and have always kind of just been real close throughout the years. Even when we weren't dating, we were still really good friends. We've just always found our way back to each other.
LW: Aww, yeah.
POZ: Did you guys go to the same school? Did you hang out in the same crowds?
DS: We went to a different school but had the same group of friends, once they all met.
POZ: Did you click instantly when you met? Did it take some time?
LW: One of his other bandmates was pursuing me all night! I had just moved to Tallahassee and I didn't really know that many people. He gave me his screen name, and we started talking. So I started hanging out with him, but I thought Derek was hot, I was into Derek. I was not into the other guy.
DS: Yeah, we just had, you know, mutual friends, and we all became closer throughout the years. We all went to shows together, played in different bands together. We were all connected through the music scene a lot, for sure.
POZ: Derek, you're from Tallahassee right? Did you grow up there?
DS: Born and raised.
POZ: Ok, that's what I thought. Lauren, you said you moved there when you were fifteen, is that right?
LW: I moved there when I was thirteen.
POZ: Where were you before that, and what brought your family to Tallahassee?
LW: Clearwater. My parents are from that area, born and raised down in Clearwater. My dad grew up with fishing and going all over on dirt roads there, so once it got really populated he was over it. We started looking at charts and stuff — my dad has always been into boats, he's a sailor, so he was looking up in the Tallahassee area, so we drove around and eventually found our way up to Tallahassee. And I really like it, I love Tallahassee.
POZ: Did you like it right away? Was it an easy transition for you or was it tough?
LW: I didn't not like it. I was kind of ready. I wanted to move to Tallahassee, I kind of encouraged my parents, I really wanted to. And then when I got here I didn't know anybody, but that's never been a problem for me, I can always keep myself entertained. Actually, the summer when we moved here, I taught myself how to play the piano, that's when I started messing around with getting good at playing classical and pop, 90's pop music on the piano.
POZ: What were you guys into back then? Were you scene kids? Were you art kids? What was your thing?
LW: Emo. Dashboard Confessional. [Laughs].
DS: Yeah, I'd say we were scene kids, basically. We went to a ton of shows. I, at the time, was playing in local bands and stuff, playing all the shows. That was a big part of who we were for sure, at school and everything. Yeah, we were scene kids, emo kids, whatever you want to…
LW: I was a chorus emo kid!
POZ: You were singing even back then eh?
LW: Oh yeah, in high school.
POZ: I assume with chorus you weren't singing rock and pop, you were probably doing more showtunes-kind of stuff?
LW: I did, actually! We had the first pop a cappella group in our city, or our area, at all. You know how they do Glee, stuff like that? It was pretty much like that. It was called the Main Event, and so yeah, we'd sing a ton of current pop music, and I had several different solos in that. That's where I really… I loved chorus, but I really loved doing Main Event, pop a cappella is awesome. I still love it. It gives me chills every time, watching people.
POZ: Do you still play around with any of that stuff?
LW: Oh, I definitely, when I write music, write tons of vocal stuff, and I think it's probably because of that. I would actually mess around with my own arrangements of stuff. I was really nerdy in high school when it came to music. Instead of doing my whatever homework, I was studying sheet music for my chorus class so I could play it if I needed, on piano or whatever. I was really nerdy.
POZ: So you have some of that classical training then.
LW: A little bit, yeah.
POZ: Were you just singing at the time? Were you playing as well?
LW: I was playing piano. In high school I would write songs about my friends and, like, joke songs. One of them got huge in my high school at the time. It's very perverted and provocative. I ended up playing it for, like, a school showcase. It was really funny, everybody knew it.
POZ: Were you playing piano from an early age?
LW: Yeah! I started playing piano at… I did a couple lessons, and I didn't really… I don't want to say I didn't like my teacher, I feel mean saying that, but he just wasn't very encouraging. I don't think I wanted to learn it at the time. But when we moved here and I didn't know anybody, I had learned the basics. My mom played piano. I had a really good ear for piano. So it didn't take very much for me to pick it up and go from there. That's all I was really doing.
POZ: Is it still your instrument of choice?
LW: Yeah. Definitely.
POZ: So lets talk a little bit about when you guys got together. Is there a story behind your first date, or your first kiss?
DS: Actually, our first date was in Tallahassee on Valentine's Day of 2003. We went to a show in Tallahassee, it was the All-American Rejects, and I forget…
LW: Was it Rufio?
DS: No, I don't think it was Rufio. Home Grown maybe? I don't remember exactly. I just remember it was the All-American Rejects headlining and it was Valentine's Day. And that was our first date kind of deal.
POZ: That's so perfect for what you're doing now. So how long were you guys together that first time around?
LW: Almost a year.
DS: Yeah, we dated for almost a year, and then broke up. We still were able to be close even though we weren't dating and were still really good friends for a long time. And then, just kind of eventually, things just fell back into swing, and here they are.
POZ: When did you guys officially get back together?
LW: Well, we dated another time before this, in between.
POZ: Oh, so it's really been on and off!
LW: Yeah. We dated again, actually, right as Mayday formed I feel like.
DS: We dated for about two years that time I think. So it's been kind of a back-and-forth kind of thing. And then now it's been over three years that we've been back together again. It's been, what, almost three and a half years. So a grand total of over five years of dating in the over ten years I've known you. Sorry, I know it's kind of confusing!
LW: It's very confusing!
POZ: Life is confusing sometimes! What is it, do you think, that kept bringing you back together?
LW: The sex, definitely! [Laughs]
DS: You know, I don't know, it's just …
LW: We just have, I don't know… Just a thing!
DS: With most people that you date, once you break up you don't really keep in touch as much, and you don't really maintain a relationship, but with Lauren and I it was, even whenever we would date and then break up, we would stay really close. She's been one of my best friends for so long. It's just kind of always made sense, I guess.
LW: I think the breaks were needed. I don't think we'd be where we are right now if everything didn't go the way it did. I feel like we probably would not be together. I don't know. Who knows.
POZ: What do you think you learned from those times apart, and from the first attempts at dating each other?
LW: We were just different people.
DS: We both have grown up a lot, you know? We were both obviously a lot younger and more immature; we would fight about stupid things.
LW: Things that don't matter.
DS: Now there's just none of that. We've both grown up a lot. In the time between we dated other people and learned a lot about relationships. It's kind of hard to say really.
POZ: So I want to know what a day in the life is like for you and your family. Obviously there's not necessarily a typical day because, Derek, you're on the road so much. But when you're home, what is a typical day for you guys? What was today like?
DS: Well most days, I try and get up with the two girls that live at the house. We have a daughter together who's two years old, whose name is Grey, and then Lauren has a daughter, Bailey, who's five. Lauren's at home with them by herself whenever I'm gone, so I try and get up with the girls when they wake up and let Lauren sleep in for a little bit, give her a chance to do that, and make them breakfast. Hang out. Go to the park, try and get outside.
LW: They play together a lot.
DS: Yeah, the girls play together a lot. We hang with friends or family. Make dinner — we usually don't really go out to much.
LW: We order dinner pretty much every night [laughs]. We're too tired by that time! We're like, alright, it's been a whole day of doing this and that.
DS: We're very spontaneous. A lot of days, her parents live an hour south of here at the coast, sometimes we'll drive down there to see them.
LW: We're out of town a lot; even when Derek's gone, I take the girls on a lot of trips, we go out of town as a family or go see Derek on the road. That's really fun, being able to get out of Tallahassee.
POZ: Derek, obviously you've been doing Mayday for a lot longer than you've had Grey. How has the transition been for you? I'm sure it's one thing being a single guy with no responsibilities out on the road, and it's another having a girlfriend and a daughter back home.
DS: It's been incredible! I'm very lucky to be able to do both, you know? For most people, it's kind of one or the other — once you have kids, that's kind of the end of your party days and your carefree days of being able to do whatever you want. We get to tour and I leap in, hang out and do all that kind of stuff, and I feel very lucky that I'm able to still do that, and then be able to come home and do the family stuff, which is amazing. I kind of have two different lives that I live. It's a balance. I don't like being gone for… It used to be, we could stay gone as long as we wanted to, I never really got too homesick or anything. I enjoyed being gone for months and months at a time. I almost felt more at home being on the road than I did at home. But now, obviously, I really enjoy my time at home, and it's very valuable to be home and spend time with the family and everything. That's really the only thing that's different: as we're gone for months and months at a time, I start to miss family at home. But we have a pretty good balance, and it works. I'm very lucky that we're able to do it.
POZ: I know that since the last album came out [Monsters In The Closet, released in October 2013], Mayday's had quite the touring schedule, and it's not slowing down anytime soon. Is it something you think about when you're making tour plans, how to find that time at home and how to find that right balance? Or is it something where you're just like "ok, we've got a new album out, I have to commit to being on the road for the next year and a half, we just have to understand that that's how it's going to be"?
DS: Well, it's a little bit of give and take. Luckily, everyone else in the band is kind of on the same page. We've been doing this for over eight years and we've been going pretty full-throttle with it the whole time we've been a band. We've all gotten to the point where we're ready to slow it down, just a little bit. So everyone is on the same page, luckily. I don't have to really even bring it up too much, as far as taking things a little easier. I think we're all on the same page with that. We'll gradually slow things down a little bit. So far it's been a great balance. I just feel bad for Lauren, for the time that we're gone. She has a lot more that she has to handle just by herself here, with two kids. But she's tough. She's awesome. She never complains.
LW: We have a really strong family- and friend-base here, who help us a lot. I wouldn't be able to do music or anything if it weren't for them. We're very lucky.
POZ: Do you guys have any strategies or secret tips for keeping things strong when you're apart for that long?
LW: You just kind of have to, I don't know, you just have to do it. You're either made for it or you're not. And it's a different time; I feel like it's a lot easier than other times.
DS: These days with the technology, being able to Facetime and all of that, it's amazing. And it's a lot of patience. If it's something that you are willing to try and do, you've got to do it and not let the little things bother you, and realize that it's not going to be perfect but if you feel like it's worth it, then you've just got to go for it.
POZ: Do the kids get it at this point? Are they old enough to understand how this all works, in terms of Derek going away for long stretches of time, that it's your job and all that?
DS: I think they're starting to, for sure.
LW: He'll try and tell them the different countries he's going to, and so they're learning a little bit about it. And like I said, they get to go to a lot of shows so they definitely see what he's doing. And they understand that's how he makes money, and that's how the world goes around, that people have jobs and that happens to be his job. I think Grey is just now probably going to start understanding it, I don't know what's been going through her mind the last two years. "Oh, Dad's gone, OK now he's back." And it sucks because when he comes back I'm chopped liver, she wants nothing to do with me! She wants everything to do with him!
POZ: Is she a daddy's girl?
LW: Oh, for sure! They're, like, the same. They have the same temperament. They hang out really well. Me and my older daughter Bailey, we get along really well because she's hyper like I am. We have our own little [thing], you know. Most of the time, Derek is able to take care of Grey and I can deal with Bailey when the time comes that we need to separate them. We make it work.
POZ: So I'm going to get into talking about your career, Lauren, but to start, you've been making it work with one family member on the road a lot. Why was now the time for you to jump in and start pursuing things on your end? And how do you think that's going to affect that dynamic?
LW: The reason I started Dazy (The Girl) is because I was doing bands and it just wasn't really working with having four or five other people to schedule around. I've always been doing music outside — even when I was in bands, I was at home writing my own music, trying to write placements for pop singers and do this and that. So the reason I even started this was just because I wanted to get my music out there. I'd never done solo stuff on my own. I don't have plans to go off and do a two month tour like Derek, because it's not realistic for me. I'm going to have my own niche and my own place. I think it would be really cool if I were to start doing festivals, or play a Warped Tour here and there, and when Derek's home for a little while to be able to do what I can.
POZ: You're working around his schedule.
LW: Absolutely, because he makes money doing it. Money really has a lot to do with it, you know? If somebody is going to invest a decent chunk of change in my musical project, then the story may change a little bit. But right now I have a very realistic point of view, keeping my family definitely first. And that's the thing, with what I'm doing, I can stop whenever I want. I don't have to go "well, I'm on hiatus." My fans know. Every single person who follows me online or listens to my music, they know who I am. It doesn't take them long to figure out I'm dating Derek, and Derek does his thing. We'll have to see how it goes. It's brand new, I've just got one song out. So we'll see how it goes.
POZ: How do you feel about that? The fact that everybody knows you as Derek's girlfriend has the upside that he has a fanbase that will check you out and spread the word; it gives you an instant group of people to show your stuff off to. At the same time, I'm sure your end goal isn't to be known as Derek's girlfriend, it's to be known as Dazy and for your own thing.
LW: You know, I don't care. It doesn't really bother me. I feel like they know me through him, and I will get Mayday Parade's fans, but I don't think that's necessarily what my fanbase is going to be exactly. Maybe, I have no idea yet.
POZ: Well what do you see as your fanbase? Or what do you want it to be?
LW: I like being Derek's girlfriend, it's ok!
DS: I think it would be different if we met after, but we've known each other way before Mayday Parade or any of that.
LW: And it's not like I am just Derek's girlfriend who's like "I'm gonna make, like, a song, and I'm gonna, like, sell some songs" and I don't have any talent, and I'm just trying to do it to do it. It will always involve the music, and I'd be doing this with or without him, like I always have been.
POZ: Sure. I guess I just wonder — like you just said, you have talent, you're not just doing it to do it. But there are people out there who don't, who just play off the name of whomever they're with. Do you worry about the perception at all?
LW: I think it's going to show, you know? I feel like my voice will speak for itself. People can be really mean on the internet, and I haven't gotten any of that "Lauren's just doing this because she can." I'm not even doing things yet, so we'll see. I may get a little bit of that. It doesn't bother me. I'm pretty resilient. I'm a resilient girl, I'm not worried.
POZ: So lets talk about your musical history. You mentioned you had a band — that was Maradona, right?
LW: Mmhmm, Maradona.
POZ: Tell me a little bit about how long you guys were together and what that was all about.
LW: So we were together for, I want to say, three years. I even tried to keep it going after I had Bailey for a little while but nobody was really into it anymore. The songs weren't maturing, and we weren't really having fun. We were playing the same stuff, and it was just getting too hard. But to back up a little bit, Maradona was like pop-rock, kind of pop-punk a little bit. The guys went off to play in other hardcore bands; one of the guys played in Shai Hulud.
POZ: Welcome to Florida, where everybody in Shai Hulud joins a pop-punk band.
LW: Oh man, actually a couple of people from Tallahassee have been in that band. But yeah, I really loved playing with [Maradona], I still see all those guys out. We have stayed really close. If I were ever to take Dazy on the road, they'd be my musicians. We had an EP, it's on iTunes, and it did really well. We started getting traction. We were on the Ernie Ball stage on Warped Tour one year — we did that when I was actually eight weeks pregnant. Right around that time, we got management, and they were offering it to us for free. I don't know if you know Will Noon. he was the drummer of Straylight Run. Will's awesome.
POZ: Will's got a pretty good gig for himself right now! [Will is currently the touring drummer for Fun.]
LW: Oh yeah. Will and my friend Evan, who hooked me up with Will, started working with us and we were really starting to get the ball rolling. And then I got pregnant, and I know I bummed everybody out. You know, life happens for a reason, and I'm glad everything went the way it did. But it was fun! I still like the songs! I'm glad I did Maradona because it taught me how to be on a stage. I've always been able to sing, but it taught me how to interact, and to learn my voice a little bit better. There's a lot to say for starting out in a rock band. You can't hear yourself for most of your shows. Everything leading up to Dazy has been trial and error, and you learn stuff — I'm still learning — but I definitely have a far better concept of what I'm doing and how I'm presenting myself and everything involved. My songwriting has gotten way better.
POZ: And then after that you did some writing for folks?
LW: Yeah, I tried. I did some stuff up in New York with some different people. I've done some co-writes. Nothing that ever really took off. My computer is, like, lined with tracks and demos and just tons of music.
POZ: Is that stuff that might work its way into Dazy now?
LW: Oh absolutely, yeah! It's kind of a combination of my placement stuff, and I've always written pop. I was lucky when I was writing for Maradona, I had Tony who was like a pop-punk genius and an amazing guitarist, he would write a lot of stuff and we would collaborate a lot. It's just all the best songs I write have always been me writing by myself, I don't know why. All the songs that were successful in Maradona were ones I completely wrote by myself. I've learned from that that maybe I need to do this by myself.
POZ: You mentioned that Maradona was more of a pop-rock kind of thing, but the songs you were writing afterwards were more pop. I know, listening to the stuff on your Soundcloud right now and the couple of things you've released, that Dazy is definitely more of a pop, songwriter-focused thing. Is that where your heart is? Is that where your tastes are now, musically?
LW: It's just kind of what I write. I don't really write where I'm like "I'm going to write a Top 40 song" or "I'm going to write a pop song," I just write a song and it kind of develops along with whatever production I put into it. The last couple of songs, Zack [Odom] and Kenneth [Mount] helped me with, I had an idea for a sound and the stuff I wanted. But that's another reason that I like this project: I can do anything. I feel like I have a unique thing, that every time I sing on a song, it's going to be a Dazy song. Even if I wanted to do a song with a country twist, or a blues…I've been really into trying to write jazzy blues, kind of like Adele, Amy Winehouse songs. I don't know. Whatever I think is a good song. I don't want any of the bullshit "twelve people helped me write this song." I just want to write honest whatever, and it can be a country song, [or] if I want to go and get my band from Maradona and help me write a Paramore-type song, I could do that too.
POZ: So you're not really putting any limits on what Dazy could be right now.
LW: No. No way.
POZ: Before we get any further — the name Dazy, where does it come from, and why the decision to go with that instead of just going by Lauren Wilhelm?
LW: Well when I started thinking about doing my solo project, it was the first name that stuck out to me. I don't know why. My parents' flower is a daisy, and I just kind of liked the twisted spelling of it. My dad played and sang. My mom taught my harmony. My sisters sing. They have instruments lining the staircase of their home; they have more instruments than I've ever seen in a home before. I thought every house was like that growing up. So Dazy kind of just comes from that. I don't know, I like the name. It's a playful name.
POZ: Why the decision to use a name at all, rather than just going with your own name?
LW: I don't know, I don't think my name's so catchy. I just wanted it to have its own project name I guess.
POZ: So that said, I assume you envision the project being a solo project — obviously you might have other players or a backing band or whatever.
LW: Just like I don't want to limit the genre, I don't want to limit who I'm having play with me either. We have a pretty big community of very talented musicians in Tallahassee, and we network a lot with people in New York. I've talked to Will about going out to LA and doing stuff with him. I just want to use everybody I know, and I know Derek talks about this too, he wants to start playing with more people. I think that's going to be something that really starts happening a lot more. What's that band that you've been listening to a lot? Is it Bad Books? You know, people in different bands playing with each other. That's why I like doing it with Derek, we can do a little collab. Friend collaborations. We did a StageIt the other night with Stages & Stereos. There is no reason that you should be limited to your band. I feel like you should have whoever you want to come play with you on a song if they want to, have a core band but then bring people in. I want Daniel [Lancaster, of Stages & Stereos] to sing, Daniel and I have been working on a song together.
POZ: I had heard you were writing with Daniel. Is that going to be for both of your projects? What's the plan with that?
LW: We don't really have a plan. It's whatever works. If we end up writing a song together that he wants to put on his record, I don't see any reason why it can't be on both.
DS: I just was going to say, we just work on music so much in general. Even just a home, there's kind of a studio room in our house…
LW: It's a studio. We have a studio.
DS: It's basically a little studio in the house, and when the girls are asleep every night we go to the studio. And whether it's working on joke stuff, or…
LW: Yeah, we write a lot of rap.
DS: Yeah, like rap songs, or whatever. We work. And a lot of our friends are that way too. I'd say two or three nights out of the week we have friends over who are working on music with us. So in general, that's just kind of what we do. Whenever we're not hanging out with the kids, we're usually working on music. It opens the door for all kinds of stuff, really. It's pretty cool.
POZ: Where do the two of your tastes intersect, and where do they diverge? What kind of stuff do you guys both like? What kind of stuff does one of you love and the other doesn't have any time for?
LW: Well Derek's been really into the new Eminem CD. That's where I differ! [Laughs]. I like Drake, so right now we're having a battle in our house, Drake versus Eminem.
DS: That's a pretty big departure for me, I'm usually not into a lot of that kind of stuff at all. The fact that I bought that album and have been listening to it so much is pretty strange for me. But I don't know. We have a lot of similar stuff, a lot of the pop-rock, pop-punk kind of stuff. Taking Back Sunday, Saves The Day, Jimmy Eat World, Brand New.
LW: I feel like I listen to way more pop music than you do. I can rock some Rihanna straight up, some Beyonce, just whatever. If it's a good song, I don't care who sings it. Unless it's a terrible voice. I'm very sensitive to voices.
DS: Lauren's a lot more into the Top 40, modern pop. Not that I have anything against it, it's just not what I actively listen to when I put on music. But then, there's a lot of similarities. I guess the pop stuff is the biggest difference.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Federal investigators are waiting to talk with a man who blew off his hand with a powerful firework while driving in a north Spokane neighborhood over the weekend.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives declined to release the man's name on Monday. Agency spokeswoman Cheryl Bishop says they are waiting for the man to be medically cleared so they can interview him.
The ATF has taken over investigation of the case from the Spokane Police Department.
The explosion of an M-1000 firecracker occurred early Saturday morning inside a moving vehicle in a Spokane neighborhood.

REACHing out to regional chemicals industry
The adoption of the new REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals) legislation, which entered into force on 1st June 2007, will lead to the replacement of over 40 pieces of current EU Directives and Regulations, and is a lengthy and complex piece of legislation.
Chemicals Northwest (the cluster support organisation for the chemicals industry in the north west region) is pleased to announce that its bid to the North West Regional Development Agency for funding to support companies in mitigating the effects of REACH has been successful. Chemicals Northwest has secured around £100,000 of support to help companies unable to access the ERDF funded "DESIRE for REACH" (D4R) program because of eligibility criteria.
With revenues of up to £10 billion, the North West is the largest region for chemical manufacture in the UK accounting for 25% of the UK's total chemical outputs and directly employing over 50,000 individuals. Over 500 manufacturers form the broad and diverse 'chemistry using industries' manufacturing base. In turn these companies supply chemical based preparations and articles into the allied industries including Aerospace, Food and Automotive sectors, the 'Advanced Engineering and Materials' sector, all of which will be severely affected by REACH legislation.
Regional bodies, Trade Associations and Government have played a strong role in developing awareness of REACH legislation and its potential impact. Currently there is limited quality support available to companies wishing to assess the demands and opportunities placed before them.
Roger Langford of Chemicals Northwest commented "In essence all but the largest companies should be able to apply on a first come first serve basis and that includes subsidiaries of multi-national corporations. Chemicals Northwest will be working with The REACH Centre in Lancaster on this project, Lancaster University is currently the only organisation in our region to successfully bid for public funds to support the mitigation of REACH and is well placed to deliver on this project on our behalf through the REACH centre."

"Yesterday at approximately 1:30 p.m., CDT, an unexpected weather event with high winds passed through our BAE Systems Mobile, Ala., shipyard and apparently caused the Triumph cruise ship and barges to break loose from their moorings and collide with the adjacent pier, causing it to collapse.
As a result of this accident, two of our employees who were on the pier fell into the water. One employee was rescued yesterday and treated for minor injuries, while the other remains missing.
The US Coast Guard and local emergency response personnel are fully engaged in this search and we continue to provide our full support following this tragedy. We are deeply appreciative of all of the dedication and hard work from each of the organizations and individuals involved.
Last night our senior leadership team arrived in Mobile and is spending time with the family and our employees as well as supporting the overall effort.
Our missing employee is John "Buster" Johnson, and he joined our team in 1997. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and our entire BAE Systems family during this difficult time."
