Hank Williams Jr., Eric Paslay + More Added to Taste of Country Music Festival Lineup
The superstar lineup at the 2014 Taste of Country Music Festival just got bigger with the addition of Hank Williams. Jr. Eric Paslay, Leah Turner, the Cadillac Three and Jamie Lynn Spears have also been added to the June 13-15 camping and country music festival at Hunter Mountain.
ToC Encore: Turning Personal Tragedy Into Hit Records
Turning a personal tragedy into a hit record is tricky, and not just for all the normal reasons that it's difficult to make a song into a hit. Artists who write a great personal song may be hesitant to record it for months or years. Taste of Country writer Billy Dukes considers three powerful songs and three artists who dealt with the personal tragedies that inspired them in very different ways.
Win a Cole Swindell Prize Pack
Cole Swindell doesn't just want you to listen to his album -- the singer wants you to live it, and he's offering a prize pack to one Taste of Country reader to ensure the 'Cole Swindell' experience is complete.
Win a Guitar and Copy of 'The Journey: (Livin' Hits)' Signed by Craig Morgan
As Craig Morgan's 'Wake Up Lovin' You' climbs its way up the country charts, the singer wants to reward fans for making it a hit. Enter here to win an autographed guitar and a copy of his new 'The Journey: (Livin' Hits)' album.
ToC Encore: A Defense for Artists Who Play SeaWorld
Nearly a dozen others refused, but Alan Jackson, Gretchen Wilson and Kid Rock have taken the stage to play SeaWorld's Bands, Brews & BBQ concert series, despite heavy protest from a controversy started after a documentary called 'Blackfish' aired. Should those who play be demonized?
Chris Young's 'Aw Naw' Named Video of the Year at 2014 Taste of Country Awards
Fans have named Chris Young's 'Aw Naw' video the Video of the Year at the 2014 Taste of Country Awards! The clip beat out nine others, including the CMA-winning video for 'Highway Don't Care.'
Valentine's Day Kisses – Blake Shelton's Top 5 Bromance Moments [Watch]
Blake Shelton is perhaps country music's most loving singer. The 'Hillbilly Bone' singer has proven he'll pucker up for just about anyone. His wife, his co-host, a random guy on a red carpet ... Shelton doesn't discriminate with the lip love! Taste of Country's Valentine's Day gift to you is these Top 5 Blake Shelton bromance moments ever.
Miranda Lambert, 'Automatic' [Listen]
Miranda Lambert does nostalgia as well as she does crazy. Her new single 'Automatic' is a yearning look back at a time before computers, cell phones and 800 channels on TV. With familiar and original references, the singer introduces a softer tone for her fifth studio album.
Win an Acoustic Guitar Signed by Eric Paslay
Eric Palsay's self-titled debut album is in stores now, and he's celebrating by turning over the strings to a new guitar. Enter here for your chance to win this autographed acoustic from the 'Friday Night' hitmaker.
Lee Brice, 'I Don't Dance' [Listen]
Lee Brice's new single 'I Don't Dance' feels like a natural progression of this singer-songwriter's career. It's personal, like almost every song on the 'Hard 2 Love' album, but also powerful and experimental like Brice's early recordings. The power is provided in production, however -- a key difference between this ballad and others that relied solely on his vocal abilities.
Gloriana, 'Best Night Ever' [Listen]
ToC Encore: Country Music Can't Win at the Super Bowl
Why isn't a country superstar performing during halftime of the Super Bowl? It's a fair question, and one country fans have asked every year since Shania Twain took the stage in 2003. Surely there are stars big enough to draw the nation's interest, right? Taste of Country writer Billy Dukes argues that fans of Nashville's biggest names should actually be grateful for this missed opportunity.

In addition to participating on an Operation Smile medical mission to Lima, Peru, in 2007, actress and model Molly Sims, best known for her role on the popular TV show "Las Vegas," co-hosted Operation Smile's The Smile Collection fundraising gala in New York.
Of her experience in Peru, Sims said, "These kinds of experiences in life are not easily come by. We thank Operation Smile for enriching our lives and showing us a new frontier. Operation Smile volunteers are wonderful, beautiful people who change children's lives. This experience with Operation Smile in Peru touched our hearts and made us realize how truly lucky we are, and how lucky these people are to have Operation Smile in their lives."

Bourque: 'We got our [you know whats] kicked all over the ice'
May 17, 2014, 4:39 PM EST
When a team loses 7-2 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final the way the Montreal Canadiens did to the New York Rangers, there's not much that can be said to explain.
Thankfully, Rene Bourque was there to sum it up succinctly.
Following the blowout loss, Bourque kept it simple for reporters as to how the Habs got manhandled on home ice.
Bourque had a hand in the Game 1 failure as he committed three minor penalties. While he also had a goal, it wasn't his, nor anyone else on the team's, best effort.
The Canadiens will look to rebound in Game 2 on Monday night back in Bell Centre.
- barkar942 - May 17, 2014 at 6:51 PM
Borque could have been kicked around more but he was too busy using the revolving door to the penalty box.

Black Boxes Coming To Cars? [VIDEO]
Black Boxes are a common feature in airplanes. Now, cars, trucks and SUV's might be getting data recorders too.
FOX Business Network's Jeff Flock has more on what could end up in your personal vehicle:
Audio clip:
The Obama administration is bypassing Congress, planning to require black boxes in all new cars. Insurance companies, law enforcement and safety advocates like the black boxes, because believe it or not, people who get in car accidents tend to misreport details; like whether or not they were speeding, or whether they had their seat belt on or not. Privacy advocates worry about what the government may someday do with the data; make more regulations? Or even track movements.
In Chicago, I'm Jeff Flock, FOX News Radio.

This abundant centerpiece is perfect for a holiday table Photos by Boyle + Gardner for The Wall Street Journal
New York flower designer Nicolette Owen demonstrates the step-by-step process for creating your own holiday centerpiece.
New York floral designer Nicolette Owen created this abundant centerpiece, perfect for a holiday table. "I combined evergreens, bright berries and showy white and red blooms," she says. "The arrangement is seasonal without being too Christmas-y."
Step 1: Create a foundation of wintery greens. Here we used juniper, seeded eucalyptus and dusty miller. Cut the greenery at varying lengths, making sure all pieces extend beyond the lip of the vase.
Step 2: Add large petaled flowers to anchor the arrangement. We used amaryllis and rosehips. The large flowers will help fill out the shape and dictate where the next flowers should go.
Step 3: Add smaller flowers. Group like colors together for a gradient effect. We used white and red anemones, red spray roses and white narcissi. Let some of the flowers rise above the mass of the arrangement for a delicate and natural look.

There are three friends named Mad, Brain, and Fight. One day Fight went missing and his friends Mad and Brain started searching for him. Then Brain said, "Mad, let's file a missing person report with the police." When they were about to walk into the police station, Brain said, "Mad, you go and make the report. I will wait for you here." Mad said, "Okay." Mad walked in but no police officers paid attention to him. Then he saw a policeman drinking a cup of coffee. Mad went to the officer, smacked the table, and the cup of coffee flew in the air, landing in the officer's lap. Angry, the policeman asked, "Are you looking for a fight?" Mad replied, "Yes, I am." The policeman asked, "Are you mad?" Mad replied, "Yes, I am Mad." The policeman then asked, "Don't you have a brain?" Mad replied, "Brain is outside sir."

An alcoholic, a sex addict, and a pothead all die and go to Hell. Satan is waiting for them and tells all of them, "I am in a good mood today, so I am going to let each one of you pick one thing you love from Earth, and let you keep it here for 100 years, and then I will return for the goods." Satan first approaches the alcoholic, "What is it that you would like to have?" to which the alcoholic responds, "I want the finest brew, wine, and liquor you can get me." Satan brings him to a room filled with every type of beer on tap, the finest aged cellars of wine, and of course the purest grain alcohol. There is each type of liquor you could possibly think of or never afford to even taste, a never ending supply of it all. The man yells, "Whooa Hoo!" in excitement, and runs into the room. Satan laughs, shuts the door, and locks it. Satan then approaches the sex addict and asks, "What is it that you would like to have?" to which the sex addict responds, "Women! I want lots of beautiful women, one for each day of the year!" Satan brings him to a room filled with only the most gorgeous women imaginable. Some with huge breasts, some with small breasts, some with big asses, and some with small asses, some tall with never ending legs, and some short, some have tight p*ssies and some have shaved p*ssies. All of the women are hot, naked, and very horny. The sex addict immediately gets a raging hard on and runs into the room. Satan laughs, shuts the door and locks it. Satan finally approaches the pothead and asks, "What is it that you would like to have?" to which the pothead responds, "Well, that's easy! I want the best pot you got." Satan brings him to a room which is filled with the tallest, thickest, stinkiest, most dank plants growing on for acres. The sweet smell from the purest plants fills this enormous room. There were crystals growing on some buds which grew 15 feet high, just begging to be harvested. The quality of the bud would put the Cannabis Cup winners to shame, in all categories. It was beyond belief. The pothead was so awed and humbled by the sight of these beautiful plants, that he slowly walked into the room, he sat down Indian style, with his legs crossed, took slow deep breathes, closed his eyes and proceeded to meditate on this miraculous sight. Satan looked at him curiously, shut the door and locked it. 100 years pass. Satan returns to the first room, remembering the alcoholic, unlocks and opens the door. There is broken wine and liquor glass bottles shattered everywhere. The room smells like rotting animal flesh and piss. The alcoholic comes running at the door, naked, covered in his own vomit and shit, screaming "Help!, I don't want anymore. Let me out of here!" Satan laughs, shuts the door, and locks it. Satan then returns to the second room, remembering the sex addict, unlocks and opens the door. There are thousands of kids running around the room and babies crying madly making so much noise no one could hear their own scream. Hundreds of very, very old ladies now limp around with no clothes on, still very horny for the sex addict who attempts to run out the door as Satan watches. Before the sex addict can utter a word of desperation, Satan laughs, shuts the door, and locks it. Satan finally arrives at the third and final room, remembering the pothead, unlocks, and opens the door. After a quick look inside, Satan's evil grin turns to a look of confusion. Nothing had changed. The plants were untouched, just as dank as the day he left them. Even the pothead was in the same position, sitting down with his legs crossed. So Satan walks up behind the pothead, taps him on his shoulder and says, "What's wrong?" A tear rolls down the pothead's cheek as he turns to Satan and simply replies, "Got a light, man?"
Q: What's red and smells like blue paint?
A: Red paint.

Who needs a fancy Moto X with a wood finish when you can easily grab a nice wood case for any number of devices, specifically the Galaxy S4. Zagg, a major player in the device accessory game, is selling natural backs for the Galaxy S4, priced at an incredible $19.99, down from their usual price of $49.99. There are five different options to choose from, ranging in colors and different woods from around world. (more…)

Galaxy S4 S-View Flip Cover With Wireless Charging Now Available for $55
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is joining in the S-View Flip Cover with wireless charging party this week, only a month or so after the Galaxy Note 3 received the Qi-compatible accessory. This is your standard S-View Flip Cover, but Samsung went ahead and turned the attached backplate into a wireless charging plate that up until now, as eluded the S-View race. In other words, this product is no different than the S-View Flip Cover you might already own, other than the fact that when attached and set atop a wireless charger, it will wirelessly charge your device.

Android 4.4.2 Leaked for Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505), Sports Same ol' TouchWiz UI
A leaked test build of Android 4.4.2 has recently leaked for the Galaxy S4 from Samsung. With the company remaining quiet as to when users of the device can expect to officially see the update roll out to their devices, seeing this build leak is a really good sign. Since it's in testing, and now leaked, U.S. GS4 owners could see it within the next couple of months we would expect. As with all things in this industry, nothing is confirmed. (more…)
Top 5 Android Phones of 2013
At the end of each year, it's easy to find ourselves both looking back at all that happened over the past 12 months, trying to reflect on it, and then looking forward to what's ahead. The "what's ahead" is about to hit us with a right-cross in a couple of weeks when CES arrives, so I'd say that I'm still very much in the reflection stage at this point. Which brings me to this post and my thoughts on the top 5 Android phones of the year.
The year 2013 was filled with the most incredible smartphones the world has ever seen. 1080p displays became a standard (for the most part), cameras grew increasingly better, battery life is now measured in days instead of hours, customization was introduced, and prices may have started to decline across the board. Phone manufacturers also seem to have figured out winning formulas for the most part in terms of hardware, but only one still has the marketing side (or budget) on lock. All of that helped shape this list. (more…)
Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition 4.4.2 Update Rolling Out
Not to be outdone by HTC, Samsung has finalized an update to Android 4.4.2 (KOT49H) for Galaxy S4 GPE owners. The OTA file – I9505GUEUCML4 – is the latest version of Android, and includes a device-specific bug fix. (more…)
Verizon Galaxy S4 Update Build VRUEMK2 Approved – Allows Non-Samsung Chargers to Work, Fixes Other Issues
A new update for the Samsung Galaxy S4 on Verizon has been approved (and may even be rolling out already) as build VRUEMK2. The update appears to be pretty minor while addressing a few bugs here and there. Things like Email connectivity have been improved, along with making data roaming more consistent in Canada and Mexico, and better connections while using proxy servers.
But maybe most importantly, the update makes it so that non-Samsung chargers will work correctly with the phone. For those of you with multiple chargers lying around from various phones, throw yourselves a little party. (more…)
AT&T Galaxy S4 Update to Android 4.3 Ready Again as Build I337UCUEMK2
Shortly after beginning to push the Android 4.3 update for the Galaxy S4 on AT&T as build 1337UCUEMJ9, issues arose causing the rollout to be stopped. Parties involved reportedly confirmed that there were issues and that they were investigating them, though no new timeline for a rollout was given. According to an update to AT&T's Galaxy S4 support page, today is the day that 4.3 will resume, only this time as build I337UCUEMK2. (more…)
Deal: Best Buy Selling Galaxy S4 for Free From Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint – in New Arctic Blue Color Too
We're not even to Thanksgiving yet and there are deals to be had all over this vast internet. If the two tablet deals we told you about already weren't doing the trick because a new phone is what you really had been holding out for, take a look at Best Buy's pre-Black Friday deals. One includes the Samsung Galaxy S4 for free from Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint in any color you can find them in. The featured version on BBY's site comes in "Arctic Blue" which is apparently new. But you'll also find black, white, red, purple, and brown variants depending on carrier.
If you are an AT&T customer and really wanted the Galaxy S4 Active instead of the original 2013 flagship, it's included in the free deal as well. (more…)

Application Deadline
Guys. You know how stressed you were getting because if you wanted a scholarship to SUU you had to apply before December 1st, which is now less than a month away!? Well not anymore!! Now you have to apply before March 1st! That's a whole three more months to get it done! I wouldn't procrastinate though if I were you. I'd get it done ASAP because before you know it, it will be February 28 and you'll be stressing because you forgot about your application.
And guess what? In the next little bit, they're doing open houses where you can come apply for free!! And get awarded a scholarship right then and there! How great is that? Here's the schedule so you can see if there's an open house near you! http://suu.edu/prostu/openhouse/
Now, to help your stress of applying go away, here are a few comics about applying for college that I hope you find just as funny as I did.
And just one more because three is my lucky number.
I hope you enjoyed those as much as I did. Now go apply before you run out of time!
Fall Fun
As you're receiving your acceptance letters to SUU, your friends might try to convince you not to come here because it's a small town and there's nothing to do here (well at least that's what my friends said). Well they are wrong. Here at SUU we have tons of great activities to keep you entertained so you don't go crazy from boredom.
One of the best events the school has, in my opinion, is the homecoming concert they have. My freshman year, they had Rocket to the Moon come, my sophomore year it was Hello Goodbye and this year it was Party Crashers.
It was super fun! Not to mention that right after the concert, we have "True T-bird Night". If you don't know what that is I'll explain. After the concert, at midnight, you and a significant other (or a stranger if you prefer) will walk down to the Old Sorrel statue and kiss…Woo! Sounds fun right? Who wouldn't want to do that? (confession: I've actually never gone to that part of homecoming week, I usually leave after the concert is done. I know, I'm such a party pooper. Anyway, I hear it's cool so…ya.)
Another event that is super popular here at SUU is….
The Scream (Ahhh!!) This year's theme was "A Haunting Night to Remember". Confession time again: I've never gone to The Scream either…I know. I'm such a boring person! I've been here three years and haven't been to True T-bird night or The Scream. But I did help set up for the dance my freshman year and it looked fun. Some of my friends went this year said it was super fun. They had a fake tattoo artist, hypnotist/mentalist, an artist to draw your picture and a dance. I think they had a costume contest too with a $500 prize for one person and $1000 prize for a group. Isn't that awesome?! I totally could have won that contest too (I was a Hobbit. Don't be jealous because my costume was cooler than yours).
So those are the main things that they do in fall semester but they do have small activities. Like this week is Disability Week where they're trying to help people see what disabilities are like. Last night I went (yes I actually went and did something) and watched "Patch Adams" (great movie! Go watch it!) for Disability week and it was free! They do movie showings a lot throughout the year. A few weeks ago they did a showing of "Maleficent" (before it was even out on DVD) so that's pretty dang cool if I do say so myself.
Oh! A few weeks before Halloween, they did a haunted tour of campus. An administrator came and walked around campus with students and told ghost stories about some of the buildings. It was super creepy. I almost peed my pants.
So there you have it. A plethora of things to do when you come to school here so you won't die of boredom. Tell your friends about these and they won't have any other reasons to convince you not to come here. This might even convince them to join you!
It's back — #admittedSUU
Ahhh… the letter that everyone is waiting for. The admissions letter. That prized piece of paper that has your name followed by "Congratulations!

Let the Countdown Begin!
*Cue intro music to "Eye of the Tiger"
Ladies and gentlemen, the countdown has begun. In just a few short weeks, you will be packing up your belongings, saying goodbye to mommy and daddy, and welcoming the best four years of your life.
On August 21st, over 1,200 freshman will attend Thunder Academy. You and hundreds of Future T-Birds have been waiting for this moment since the day you said "I Do" to this marvelous institution of Higher Education. Your college career can officially begin.
Starting college may be exciting, scary, happy, and even confusing as an incoming student. Thunder Academy is an action-packed 4 day course to help you transition from living at home with your family to making SUU your new home. We recognize the storm of emotions you may go through during this transition, so here are a few tips to make Thunder Academy at SUU the best kickstart to your college career:
#1. Let your freak flag fly! This is the perfect time to be who you really want to be. Mandy Hale said, "Just be yourself. Let people see the real, imperfect, flawed, quirky, weird, beautiful and magical person that you are." You have a fresh start, so make the best of it!
#2. Make NEW friends. These few days of Thunder Academy should most definitely allow for some bonding moments. The friends you make during these first days may be your lifeline during the first few weeks of school when you get homesick or need some help with your math. You may find that your new friends need you just as much as you need them.
#3. PARTICIPATE! The activities in this course are designed to help you succeed in your first year at college. Go to all the speakers, and take notes. Participate in Campus Tie-Dye and the Red and White Dance. Have a good attitude about the Saturday Service Project. Active participation will give you a positive start to an exciting year. (Not to mention many of the planned events are required for the Passport Class.)
#4. Get some sleep. But not too much. New roommates. New friends. New campus. It's like the night before your birthday, when you were nine. So exciting! All of these new changes make for quite a bit of energy, but make sure to get some sleep during the weekend. You want to be awake and ready for classes on the 25th. But I'm also going to tell you to stay up (some what) late these first few days with your new roomies. Get to know each other. Bond.
#5. Embrace SUU. You are now a TBird. Let me say that again. YOU ARE NOW A TBIRD!!! Nothing is more exciting than that. Wear your SUU gear. Tear up when you walk through the Carter Carillon Tower. Cheer as loud as you can when the fireworks go off and Thor repels from the ceiling. You are now part of the TBird Nation. And we couldn't be more excited.
So let the countdown begin! We can't wait to welcome you to our family.
10 Tips for Moving to College for the First Time
Not quite sure what to bring to college? Don't know what to expect on move-in day? Here are some tips to help make the transition a bit smoother.
1. When in Doubt, Leave it Out
As you are packing for college move in, it is very important to step back and ask, "Will this really be used?" When it comes to moving in less is typically more. In the extreme case where something is forgotten at home you must keep in mind that similar stores that exist near your home typically exist on a college campus as well! Below is a list of items that can typically be left at home without losing out on much.
• Televisions – Spend your time meeting friends instead of Xbox Live!
• Extra Books – You will have plenty of these in college, trust me.
• Kitchen Utensils – I don't foresee a great deal of utensils requires to heat up leftover pizza in the microwave.
• Unnecessary Clothing – Too much clothing and many shoes is never a good thing. You can always buy more!
2. Know Before You Go:
Know when move-in day is for YOUR apartment (on or off campus). Know the size of room or apartment you will be living in so you can plan accordingly. Know what comes with the place you will be living; for example, will there be a microwave, toaster, shower curtain, etc? Lastly, know what is and is not allowed in your living space.
3. Split it up!
If living in a double, triple or suite style apartment sharing the responsibility of purchasing certain items is crucial. Also, resist shopping until you are moved in and can assess what is needed. This will help you avoid purchasing items that are unnecessary. Some common items to divvy up with a future roommate are:
• Microwave
• Television
• Refrigerator
• Air Conditioning Unit (where applicable)
• Area Rug
• Mirror
• Cleaning supplies
4. Condense
The goal is to make the least amount of trips as possible, so pack smaller items into larger ones if you can, just like Russian nesting dolls. Get a hold of handbags, beach bags, or backpacks to stuff with small stuff, then place in larger containers like boxes.
5. Be resourceful
The last thing you want is to pack away your fragile belongings only to find them broken or damaged upon move-in day. Save yourself the cost of packing materials and use old newspapers, plastic grocery bags, dish towels, and old t-shirts to protect items like dishes, glassware and your computer.
6. Make it a family affair
This applies to friends, too. Moving in by yourself is dreadful, so enlist the help of family and pals to help you move furniture, heavy boxes and other bulky items. It will make the day go by quicker and much, much easier. Since no one likes moving, bribe helpers with a free pizza dinner afterwards to sweeten the deal.
7. Where's the Elevator?
Not all dorms or apartments have elevators. Even if they do, they are usually filled to capacity on move-in days. Keep this in mind when choosing what to bring.
8. Dealing with the Masses
Keep in mind that on move-in day, there are going to be a lot of other students moving in at the same time.
• Set aside plenty of time for move in to accommodate for delays
• Arrive early or consider moving in the evening – if permitted
• Bring a small dolly to help move your belongings, especially due to human traffic. if there isn't an elevator or if you have heavy items that you couldn't part with.
9. Watch the thermometer
Even though it's the start of a new school year, midday temperatures in late summer are still brutal, so pack items that won't hold up in the heat in boxes that will be unloaded first. Things like candles, aerosol sprays and certain electronics can melt, explode or suffer damage if left in high temperatures for too long.
10. Decorate last
While hanging posters, pictures and other decorations might the first thing you want to do once you're moved in, start bigger and work your way down to the small items. Things like beds, couches and television stands should all be in place before the fun stuff goes on shelves or walls. Having the big items correctly placed allows for a proper flow and will help make your new small space feel like home in no time.
Last but not least…….
Be Open
Be open to your new roommates and what you have to learn from each other. Take the opportunity to look at this through rose-colored glasses and make lemonade out of lemons. Your attitude and the way you choose to approach this exciting new dynamic is critical to a great year. After all, "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it".
A Must Have at SUU:
A pair of shoes that you can take for hiking in Kanarraville or the Narrows and also to use for the paint dances!
10 Tips for College Success
As an Admissions Office, we want you to be successful when you arrive on campus for your first year. Admissions counselor, Jessica Burr, has 10 great tips to find success!
1. GO TO CLASS. If you are not a morning person, don't sign up for early classes.
2. Introduce yourself to the professor
3. Keep all of your syllabi in one convenient place so you never overlook an
assignment, tests, presentations, etc.
4. Form study groups. When forming a study group, include people who
understand the material better than you and those who don't understand it
as well as you. Teaching someone is the best way to learn a topic.
5. Get involved OUTSIDE of class. Join a club, get on an intramural sports team,
participate in a leadership organization, play a pickup game of ultimate
Frisbee with those who like to play. Anything! Just get connected to the
campus outside of class.
6. Don't plagiarize. It's never worth the consequences. Do your own work.
7. Proper prior planning prevents a poor performance. If you procrastinate,
understand that you won't get the grades you want.
8. C's may get degrees but you are only shortchanging yourself. Do the work.
Read the class materials. Participate in discussions. Learn all you can, while
you can.
9. Work hard, play hard. Taking time for yourself and doing things you enjoy
are just as important as working hard in the class and at your job. To stay
sharp, you need to take time to sharpen the saw.
10. Eat well. Not eating or only eating junk food will seriously mess with your
ability to concentrate, sleep, be active and even your mood.

Griffin unveils iVault for iPod Shuffle
Griffin Technology and designer Greg Gutierrez today announced the iVault aluminum case for the iPod shuffle. Gutierrez (aka "Helixipod"), who first showed the case on the iLounge forums, has partnered with Griffin to sell and distribute the case in the US.
"Machined entirely out of aluminum, the iVault safely encloses your iPod shuffle, while still allowing total access to the control wheel, audio jack, on switch, USB port, and LED. The front and back halves of the case are joined together by 4 small screws, so your iPod shuffle is guaranteed to be secure. Lightweight yet strong, the iVault and the iPod shuffle together weigh less than 1.5 ounces."
The iVault comes in four colors — silver, blue, red and purple — and will ship with a USB cable to sync/charge your iPod shuffle without removing it from the case. The iVault is scheduled to be available in May for $29.99.

I like it, almost makes me want another iPod :) Better colors than Apple's Mini colors too.
Posted by Nagromme on March 29, 2005 at 4:50 PM (CST)
But I'd pay another $10 for the ability to connect directly to a USB port without bringing a cable, the way the Shuffle alone does. More useful as a keychain drive, and one less item of clutter on your desktop.
I can think of a couple cool mechanical mechanisms:
1. Press a release and the Shuffle slides down in the case "spring loaded" and locks into the new position with the USB plug now sticking out. When done, hold the release and push the plug back in, charging the spring for next time.
2. Bottom "cap" area is in two halves like an insect's jaws, that fold away to the sides to reveal the plug.
3. USB port replicator built into case—one that pivots out for use.
Any of those would actually be BETTER than Apple's solution, which involves a separate cap to lose.

So I guess we can kiss the idea that those cases were ever going to get manufactured for the 3g goodbye, since none of the major manufacturers ever care about supporting a past product. Too bad.
Posted by Prudence in Somerville, MA on March 29, 2005 at 8:03 PM (CST)
Not sure what you mean. There are many 3G-only cases, and many that are for 3G and 4G equally.
Posted by Nagromme on March 29, 2005 at 8:08 PM (CST)
All of these cases being introduced for the iPod Shuffle…I really don't see the point. I've had my shuffle for a little over a week now, and it's not anywhere near as delicate as my 60GB iPod photo. IMO, it's a waste of money!

Posted by AppleFreak on March 30, 2005 at 12:52 AM (CST)
Awesome case, and awesome price. The fact that is comes with the USB cable is even better. I'm definately going to get one. I'd much rather use this one than have to take the shuffle out everytime I want to sync it.. (magnetic one)
Posted by Kloan in Toronto, ON on March 30, 2005 at 2:24 AM (CST)
What I mean, Nagromme, is that this is a great case and all, and I'm psyched for Helixipod getting his idea put into production with his name all over it. But he ALSO had a sweet 3g case that was the best thing I'd really ever seen in the way of metal for it, and I suspect that it won't go into production. After all, how many other new cases have you seen this month for a 3g iPod? And I mean, specific to it, holes in the right place, etc.

Potatoes were very important in the Colombian Exchange, which was the exchange of plants and animals to and from different lands where they are not native to. Today, the potato is the fifth most important crop in the world. Food is deeply routed in culture and this massive exchange changed societies.
Lauren Sellers's curator insight, May 28, 11:41 PM
Potatoes were brought to the New World through the Columbian Exchange. It does have a negative connotation but the trade route was used to diffuse cultures by trading food.

Good information about Changing Ecosystems leading to extinctions
Sherryn Kottoor's curator insight, January 11, 10:07 PM
The satellite photos clearly show the difference between poor neighborhoods and rich neighborhoods. The picture on the left shows how unorganized and scattered all the houses and buildings are. The picture on the right shows how aligned and neat the houses are. The rich area has more space and trees between each house, while the poor area is very crowded. If I lived in the poor area, I wouldn't have access to the resources I need such as a good education. Whereas, if I lived in the rich area, I would be able to get a good education and have access to the resources I need.
Christian Madison's curator insight, January 13, 7:28 PM
Well first of all I'd have to think on the bright side of life on the poor side. And on the other side, the rich side, I'd have to not take things for granted. On the poor side you'd have to use everything to it's limit and not waste a bit. While on the rich side it doesn't really matter that much.
Vivica Juarez's comment, January 13, 8:16 PM
@Sherryn Kottoor made some excellent points about the pictures. In the diagram, it shows the poor vs. the rich. It clearly proves how there is a big difference between the two. The rich have more access to things, that the poor don't. The poor are also not as fortunate when it comes to living and education.

This a conglomeration of maps that represent the physical layout and land use of some of the major cities in the world, color coded by region.
Amanda Morgan's curator insight, September 18, 12:49 PM
The comparison of urban footprints certainly puts a lot of factors into perspective. Whenever I am in highly populated areas such as Atlanta and New York, I feel like the area is so densely populated. But shift over to Sao Paulo which is so much smaller than New York, but just as populated.
Jacob Crowell's curator insight, October 14, 3:25 PM
This is an interesting way to graph out the urban footprints of various cities from around the world. This also shows how the United States has a number of the largest urban centers in the world. Along the top, New York, Chicago, LA, and Miami are massive compared to cities like Hong Kong. This shows how in the United States there are massive amounts of urban growth. Even in China where their population is one of the worlds biggest, Hong Kong a major city only has 7.1 million. In the United States, for the past century cities have been growing and this graph shows that.

Excellent resource from National Geographic that offers a 5-step plan to deal with the issue of feeding the world's population.
Sally Egan's curator insight, April 30, 11:09 PM
Agricultural production is one of the ways in which people modify the environment more than any other. Global population is expected to top out at around 9 billion around 2050, so will we be able to sustainably feed all of the entire human population? This one question brings up many more spatial, environmental, political and social questions--this interactive feature nicely addresses many of the pertinent issues in a very accessible manner.
This article relates well to the Population topic in Global Challenges and issues that arise from the present growth patterns.
Sid McIntyre-DeLaMelena's curator insight, May 29, 1:59 PM
As population continues to grow and agricultural lands dissappear, the issue of feeding the world is becoming a growing concern.
The environmental places of the world are becoming arid and the agrarian places are dwindling affecting the human/environment interaction by introducing agricultural issues.
Seth Dixon's curator insight, April 23, 11:17 AM
This 'sermon' from the Church of Geography is outstanding (the 'Church' is a geo-evangelizing group on Facebook and Twitter that is the home to the delightful memes pictured above). Many organizations are trying to re-brand geography to gain greater public support at the same time that other interdisciplinary initiatives with geographic content are gaining traction: global studies, environmental sustainability, centers for spatial analysis, etc. We don't need a name change as much as we need people to capture the vision of geography's centrality and holistic capacity.

The data are from the recent Nature article by Mora et al (http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v502/n7470/full/nature12540.html).
Climate departure would come first in the tropics, because that is where climates typically show little variability, so even a small departure is large in relative terms. However, because tropical ecosystems are adapted to that low variability, they will be hit hard by even a small change in climate.
Seth Dixon's curator insight, January 8, 2:52 PM
In this video, a road provides high connectivity between places, and a street is a diverse platform of social interactions that create a place. A 'stroad' can be likened unto a spork--it tries to do it everything but does nothing especially well. While you may debate the principle being shown, this video (found on Atlantic Cities) is a good way to show the spatial thinking that city planners need to utilize to improve the urban environment.

Quinoa is the new food to lose weight with. People all over the world have discovered its health benefits and can't get enough of it. However, quinoa only grows in certain climates and places. Since its supply is in high demand, finding places for it to grow would be beneficial to those trying to market and sell the grain.
Tracy Galvin's curator insight, May 3, 6:55 PM
Quinoa has been a staple crop in the Andes mountains for many years. It has only been recently that people in other parts of the world have recognized its health benefits. Since it is grown in only a tiny part of the world, the supply may easily fall behind the demand. Finding a similar geographic area to grow crops in may be what is needed in order to increase the supply.
Nicole Kearsch's curator insight, October 14, 11:42 AM
With health nuts discovering Quinoa the demand for this protein packed weight loss grain is quickly increasing throughout the world it is hard to keep up with supply. Quinoa is typically grown in the Andes Mountains, limiting the area of which it can be grown. The increase in demand for this superfood is also affecting the locals who used this as an item in their daily meals. With production down and demand up the price is on the rise, even for those locals who had enjoyed this grain for relatively cheap for a good amount of time.
Jessica Rieman's curator insight, April 23, 2:05 PM
This shocking video makes me so glad I live where I live, granted we have blizzards but I would definitely take the snow any day over a tsunami or a hurricane. In this video it was like a bad car accident I waanted to stare at the horrific site oof mother nature taking her course but that was just it it was too scary! Can't believe this is normal for some people in the regions that they choose to live in.
Tracy Galvin's curator insight, May 3, 7:17 PM
Most people do not realize the sheer power of a tsunami. It has the force of the entire ocean depth behind each wave. It also pours onto land for hours until it stops then pours back into the ocean for another hour or so. Most people killed are killed by objects such as cars and buildings crushing them. Seeing videos such as these can help people get a better idea of the forces actually involved and maybe save lives.
Jess Deady's curator insight, May 4, 9:33 PM
I hope something like this never happens again. Tsunamis are unreal. They are literally horrifying and to see something like this captured on camera is actually really scary. Damn plate tectonics and people living on the water front.

The number of small businesses accepting bitcoins is increasing daily. It is still very early to tell
The bitcoin price against other currencies needs to stabilize in order for it to become a true currency as intended. Once it becomes common for merchants to accept bitcoin, and people are willing to sell goods and services for bitcoin, then it can take over as the primary currency. If that happens, my prediction is that the FED will introduce a cyberdollar that can be transferred person to person electronically going through no third party similar to bitcoin. Of course the FED will still maintain control of the quantity of dollars so as to continue their disgusting blood-letting of the economy to fund government deficits.
Interesting site...The sound of bitcoin transactions (http://www.listentobitcoin.com/)
There was a transaction for 1699btc ($1,913,074) wow.
Thanks for the informed response, much appreciated.
You must have misread my comment.
I was wishing that the "work" performed to create bitcoins could have been "work" that both created bitcoins AND solved math problems that benefit mankind. I was not asking that the "work" be to ignore bitcoins.
Since the only requirement seems to be that the math problem be difficult and take significant time, there is no reason that the calculations could have been of proteins being folded, or other things, instead of useless hashes or w/e they currently are. The results of each successful "mining" could then be submitted to the public domain for the benefit of science.
Surely wealthy families who invest across all asset classes would see BTC as just another currency / commodity asset class to invest in to diversify risk. Indeed, it would be surprising if they had not or will not shortly invest in BTC and other crypto-currencies such as LTC, etc.
Thank you for the response. From the little I have researched, bitcoin seems revolutionary. A decentralized currency that puts power back into the hands of the people... We decide it's value... Governments will have to adapt, but perhaps in the near term they will try to outlaw its use, as tax revenue dwindles. I cannot see us moving backwards from this - it is evolution; people are sick of the corruption associated with our current system. Something that interests me is what will happen to society, particularly in the near term.. Will crime and the population of disenfranchised individuals increase as a result of failing welfare systems, from a lack of tax revenue etc, or will it be a relatively 'smooth' transition, as governments adapt. Perhaps we need a similar revolution in the way we are governed too...
Shor's algorithm would permit stealing coins from an address whose public key has been revealed, but the protocol permits keeping the "public" key secret until the coins are all sent to new addresses. (The bitcoin address is the hash of the public key, not the key itself). There is no known quantum method for reversing SHA256 without trying all possibilities (megayears), and plenty of reason to believe that no quantum method could shorten that time. So quantum computing doesn't defeat the bitcoin protocol. It wouldn't help it either.
How does a currency being premined make it a scam? If bitcoin is adopted en masse, the distribution of wealth in the world will become far less equal that it is currently. For example, Satoshi holds 1/20th of all bitcoin that will ever exist.
I agree though that bitcoin is more disruptive to legacy banking than Ripple is.
Although I have very little grasp of the specific math, the logic is sound and I believe this is real; not a pyramid scheme nor a p o n z I scheme as the naysayers are asserting. My ten bucks has become twelve in 48 hours and I'm kicking my head out the sand for the last three sleepy weeks with my thumb up my butt.
The creator(s) has only 5% or so. Not really a concern, especially given their most likely altruistic motivations for creating the software in the first place. The coins mined by the creator haven't moved once since they were first mined.
In the article you ask "If the returns from mining decline, who will verify the integrity of the block chain?" and then discuss the transaction fees. However, transaction fees are never required. If mining profits decline relative to coin price and the expensive mining operations decrease, then the protocol automatically (you implied the developers decide) goes back to making the puzzle less difficult (a "nonce" is removed). Nick Szabo (creator of bit gold and intellectual friend of Wei Dai the creator of b-money) is the biggest financial/crypto genius behind bitcoin but he refuses to identify Satoshi. Dai says he doesn't know him. If Nick Szabo is not Satoshi, then Satoshi got 90% of the idea from Nick's bit gold effort.
1) How is this agreed-upon self-torture a threat to the people who trade or keep bitcoins? This is exactly the genius of the protocol that prevents the ancient "double-spending" problem, and making it more profitable to legitimately claim free coins if a "super-duper computer" were to try to "hijack" the network's decision making.
2) So a solution is always immediately available if a problem develops to such an extent that the developers agree it is a problem.
3) So it's not a problem.
I'm still missing what is supposed to be "under pressure" in terms of helping your readers decide if they should trust, transact, or invest in bitcoin. The only things I see "under pressure" are world's energy supply and ASIC production "suffering" increased demand from bitcoin enthusiasts buying up their output to get free coins.
Must have been a hell of a pizza
It already is a true currency, by definition of "currency". Anything that an economy, regardless of size, will take as an exchange of value in lieu of actual goods and services is a currency. Sea shells have been currencies. Bitcoin can be exchanged for goods and services, thus making it a currency.

To the Editor: Purple bacteria still a problem
Purple? Why not justice?
Remember the purple discharge from the mega-dairy in Jo Daviess County? Feldman, engineer for Traditions, claimed to have seen this type of bacteria infestation in the swine lagoons of North Carolina. He said it is the bacteria that made the purple (never mind that purple bacteria have never been a problem in Illinois before the wonders of the mega-dairy and its pollution…). The IEPA investigator asked for him to send the sample to a lab for definitive determination. It would have been nice if Traditions had released this tidbit to the public, but they continue to hide behind their lawyers. Probably the same reason they are reluctant to answer questions from the IEPA and the USEPA.
If there were justice, the purple discharge would vacate Ward's ruling, vindicating those who fight for clean air and water. The purple discharge originated on the mega-dairy site, it was high in a number of pollutants, it contaminated a river, and it trespassed. The purple discharge proved beyond any shadow of a doubt that the danger to the community from this industrial facility is real—and already occurring. This discharge had IEPA documented pollutants that were literally off the scale, including BOD readings that were twice that of raw sewage.
