Emmylou Celebrates 20 Years with the Opry; New Videos From The Roys and Josh Kelley; New Springsteen Album Drops in March
- Merle Haggard has canceled the rest of his January tour dates as he's been hospitalized with pneumonia. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.
- Bruce Springsteen's new album, Wrecking Ball, is due out March 6. Take a peek at the track listing and listen to a song here.
- Geoffrey Himes wrote a feature on Kathleen Edwards for Paste. Here's an excerpt: "Those first three records are accomplishments I'm proud of," Edwards says by phone from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where she is staying with her current boyfriend, Bon Iver's Justin Vernon. "No one told me what to do on those albums; I made all the decisions myself. But I did what I knew how to do; I stayed in this folkie, twangy world of Americana singer/songwriters. Finally I told myself, 'You know, I have other ambitions; there are other things I want to do.'"
- The Joyful Noise soundtrack, featuring music from Dolly Parton, is #1 on the Billboard Soundtrack Chart.
- Emmylou Harris celebrates 20 years as an Opry member this weekend. The Nash Ramblers' live album, released 20 years ago, played an important part in the restoration of the Ryman, writes Peter Cooper.
- Miranda Lambert has postponed shows this week due to the death of her father-in-law.
- Josh Kelley has a new video for "Naleigh Moon," a song about his daughter. It's pretty sweet.
- Here's a new video from The Roys as well.
- Fiddler Dewel Bullington, who played with The McCormick Brothers for 50 years, passed away earlier this month at the age of 78.
- Jason Bentley of KCRW's "Morning Becomes Eclectic" thinks Americana duo HoneyHoney might be the next big thing.
- Dolly Parton chatted with Michel Martin of NPR about her role in Joyful Noise as well as writing songs for the film. An excerpt: In all, Parton ended up writing 12 songs, some of which she hopes to rework for future demos. "Well, I love to write," the Grammy Award-winning singer says. "Especially when I've got a challenge." Parton, who can play 12 instruments but can't read music, says songwriting comes naturally to her. "I just need a subject," she says, "and I'm off and running, 'cause I know how to rhyme, and I love the music, and I just go for it."
- Steel Magnolia and their label, Big Machine Records, have parted ways.

Excellent piece on Emmylou Harris and lower Broadway by Peter Cooper. I was hoping he'd speak a little more though about the bands like Jason & The Scoarchers, Hillbilly Casino, Th' Legendary Shack Shakers, Joe Buck and Layla, Layla who still owns and operates The Bluegrass Inn, who helped revitalize lower Broadway as much as anyone.
This is a great video from 1983 by Jason & The Scoarchers. It starts off at Hatch Show Print, shows them at various spots on lower Broadway, and ends with them playing a concert at the then shuttered Ryman. The cowpunks cared about this historic part of town when much of Nashville didn't.
Juli, I'm curious how you know about KCRW and the "Morning Becomes Eclectic" radio show? I live in LA and I avoid that People's Republic of Santa Monica NPR station like it was the plague. Even "A Prairie Home Companion" is wise enough to be on high power KPCC instead. But then again you don't feel towards political leftists quite the same way I do…(lol)
As for "Honeyhoney", I just never see them having broad market appeal. Sure every straight guy that looks at Suzanne Santo lusts after her (ala Jimmy Carter), but the music is just not that accessible. Well that and the potty mouth lyrics that lead to parental warning labels on their CD's…
I enjoyed The Roys' new video, but then I've been a fan of their music for at least 4 years now when I bought their 1st indie CD release. They originally tried to break into the Top 40 country market with songs that sounded like Ricky Skaggs back in the 1980's! That sure wasn't going to happen these days, so I'm glad the bluegrass folks are making them welcome. Elaine doesn't have the strongest voice around, but Lee can sound almost exactly like Ricky Skaggs! Go Roys!
Its nice to read Kathleen Edwards hasn't lost her spunkiness or attitude! Go Kathleen!
Hard to believe it's been twenty years since Emmylou's At the Ryman album. My first Emmylou album and one of my first country albums. Saw her and the Nash Ramblers on that tour at the old Birchmere and they were just great.
Enjoyed the article by Mr. Himes on Kathleen Edwards and how the new album came about. Looking forward to seeing her live in a couple of weeks.
I love that At the Ryman album. It's what first got me to like Emmylou and subsequently made me a solid fan.

text: My #1 favorite hip hop artist to photograph is Action Bronson. I've probably photographed him now about half a dozen times and each time its more ridiculous and fun than the previous. Up until this recent Camp Flog Gnaw festival at the LA Memorial Coliseum, my favorite Action Bronson experience was at the 2013 Coachella festival where I captured pictures of him not only smoking a fat joint in the photo pit, but also throwing a pound of marijuana into the crowd (a security guy came up to me shortly thereafter asking if i had any rolling papers to go with the weed he caught).

Only about 1 to 2 percent of deaths in the United States are brain deaths, the main criterion for organ donation. Donors typically have to die of a neurological injury. A patient is declared brain-dead, but a ventilator keeps the person's heart beating and blood flowing. Every minute counts: Most organs have to be transplanted within 6 to 12 hours; kidneys can last longer. A single organ donor can save up to eight lives.
In rare instances, a person who sustains a non-survivable brain injury but doesn't become brain-dead can still be a candidate for donation. In such cases, known as "donation after cardiac death," the option of donation is offered after a patient's family elects to have the ventilator withdrawn. Last year, 15 people in Washington who died of cardiac arrest became organ donors.
WRTC has a team of "recovery coordinators" who go into hospitals after a potential donor has died and speak with the family. When a patient has organs viable for transplant but didn't registered as a donor, it's up to the next of kin to decide whether to allow donation. Coordinators have had family members yell at them or ask them to leave.
"A family doesn't come into the hospital expecting their loved one to be an organ donor," says Johnson. "They usually come in with the expectation that their loved one is going to get better."
Recovery coordinators stay until they're sure a family understands the choices. They've heard from families who have said no, then regretted it. One of WRTC's volunteers, NaTasha Driggers, had a kidney-and-pancreas transplant in 1998 after struggling with juvenile diabetes. When her uncle came to visit her at Inova Fairfax Hospital, he got off the elevator, then turned around and left. He couldn't face his niece: When he'd lost his wife nine years earlier, he'd said no to donating her organs. "I believe he felt bad," says Driggers, who lives in Clinton. "He didn't understand until it hit close to home."
Last year, about 72 percent of medically suitable deceased patients in Washington had their organs donated. That's close to the federal goal of 75 percent.
Johnson says some families don't feel comfortable saying yes because they don't know whether their loved one would have wanted to donate.
As a surgeon, Johnson rarely talks with donor families. He's not involved in a donor's medical care until it's time to recover organs.
"There are people that feel like, 'If I'm an organ donor, hospitals won't care for me like they would if I weren't a donor—they'll just want me for my organs,' " he says. "It's a myth."
Johnson can't predict when he'll have organs for his patients. "The frustration comes when we have patients who you know will do well with a transplant and you watch them decline so much that they wouldn't be able to tolerate one."
He used to be busier in the summer, when young people had more car accidents, but tougher seat-belt laws have changed that. Now he sees more older donors who have had strokes. He may go a month without an organ offer, then have one every day for a week.
Johnson logs onto the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) Web site one afternoon and finds an organ offer in progress. Local organ-procurement organizations notify UNOS whenever there's a donor. UNOS posts donor information online—cause of death, medical history, vital signs, labs—and notifies doctors whose patients might be a match.
As soon as Johnson pulls up the Web site, his nurse calls. She's already been paged about the organ—a kidney from a 42-year-old man—and wants to know if Johnson's interested. He has an hour to accept it or turn it down.
"The blood pressure's a little high, but it's come down," he says. "I don't see any obvious issues."
Johnson's patient is number 11 on the list of potential recipients, so ten people have to turn down this kidney before it would go to his patient.
"If it's a good donor, I'm probably not going to get it," he says.
When Johnson became a surgeon, most organs were allocated based on how long patients had been on the list. That was especially tough on people with liver disease. Many of Johnson's transplant patients have cirrhosis—often caused by alcoholic liver disease or hepatitis C. Others have autoimmune disorders or early-stage liver cancer.
"If your doctor wasn't savvy enough to get you on the list early and your disease was progressive, you would be behind somebody who had waited longer but was healthier than you were," he says.
In 2000, the federal government changed the rules: Most organs would be allocated based on medical urgency. Patients get a score based on the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease. The higher your score, the better your chances of getting an organ.
Patients with acute liver failure get top priority. Acute liver failure—often caused by a medication overdose or a virus such as hepatitis—can come on so quickly that the patient seems healthy until the liver is days away from shutting down.
"We've had the ironic situation where people come in for a transplant, become brain-dead, and go from being a potential transplant recipient to a donor," says Johnson. "The kidneys, heart, and lungs are okay, but the liver has failed and they've died of brain swelling."
Kidney allocation is more complicated. Because people with kidney failure can live on dialysis, says Johnson, "it's harder to clearly define who's the sickest patient." The current system considers how long someone has been waiting for a kidney along with other factors. There's a controversial proposal out from UNOS that would make age a determining factor.
"They're trying to match younger kidneys to younger recipients," says Johnson. "Today there's a 65-year-old lady who's going to get a 17-year-old kidney—the way the list is now, she's allocated that organ. The question is: Is that the best way to utilize a resource you don't have enough of?"
Organs are typically allocated locally first; if there isn't a match, an organ is allocated regionally. In rare cases, such as a perfectly matched kidney, an organ might be flown across the country.
Most of Johnson's patients ask about their donor, but he can't say much. Donor information is private unless a family wants to share it.
"Most patients are very appreciative of the gifts they get," says Johnson. "Most realize how close to death they were."
He's had a few patients who didn't seem grateful. He'd think: Don't you get it? Somebody died so you can live.
Last summer, one of Johnson's patients got a liver from a young man who'd flipped over while riding an all-terrain vehicle. Johnson came home that night and told his 12-year-old son, Brandon, that he never wanted him riding an ATV.
"Every transplant we do is tied to a tragic incident," says Johnson. "It's particularly hard when it's young people."
He used to have a hard time getting patients off his mind—he'd find himself replaying surgeries in his head. Now he doesn't like to talk about medicine after work. He comes home to McLean and watches sports with his kids.

Pet Talk: Post-traumatic stress disorder in dogs
From College of Veterinary Medicine, Texas A&M University
When most people think of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, veteran soldiers might come to mind or perhaps someone who has experienced a bad car accident or a natural disaster. The reality is that people are not the only ones capable of having this anxiety disorder; animals experience it as well.
PTSD is an anxiety disorder or change in behavior following a stressful event; therefore, anything deemed stressful by an animal has the potential for creating a stress disorder.
"A severe thunderstorm, a natural disaster (flood earthquake, tornado, etc.), gunfire, war, bombings, abuse and attacks by other dogs are just a few known events that have caused PTSD in dogs," said Dr. Dorothy Black, clinical assistant professor in emergency and critical care at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
Many people may come into contact with dogs that display symptoms of this disorder. The old saying "let sleeping dogs lie" should apply as more than just a saying when dealing with most any dog that one is unfamiliar with, but especially if the dog is experiencing PTSD.
"The most common behavior changes seen are fear, shaking, shying away from people (including those they know), hiding, urinating when greeted, inappropriate elimination (in the house, on a bed, etc.), howling or barking, and/or aggressive behavior," explained Black.
It is important to remember that these animals have been wronged in some way, whether intentionally or not, and should not receive harsh punishment or harmful reactions from a person when the animal displays these unwanted or odd behaviors. Sadly, this is why some dogs that show up in animal rescue centers or shelters are not allowed to go on and be adopted because their behaviors are seen as unfit.
However, it is possible, just as in humans, for dogs to recover and even eventually come out of this disorder.
"Each dog behaves differently, and each dog follows a different course, but time, patience, and consistency will all be key in restoring your dog's confidence," said Black.
Black recommended seeking the help of an animal behaviorist, trainer or veterinarian to start the healing process for your dog. These specialists can help create a plan and monitor the dog's progress. They can help determine if your pet may benefit from medications along with behavior modification.
When people feel stressed or frazzled, oftentimes they just need a getaway for some private time, and the same applies for pets. Creating a kennel for the pet, if one does not already exist, could possibly help the pet feel safer.
"Creating a routine with set meal times, dog walks, and play time gives your pet a sense of control," said Black. "Ultimately, your goal is to desensitize your dog to situations they find stressful."
There are many approaches to this, but all involve slow, controlled, small doses of stressful events and reinforcement of improved behavior.
Canine PTSD is very similar to PTSD in humans.
"Dogs and people display similar behaviors after traumatic events and have similar biochemical changes," explained Black.
Interestingly, the recovery process from PTSD is also similar in humans and dogs. The relationship between man and dog can play an integral role in this, as both respond positively to that unconditional bond.
If your animal has been through something traumatic, do not assume that any odd behavior they might be displaying is permanent. Because they cannot tell us how they are feeling, it is important to take their mental health seriously and be patient with them so that hopefully the pet can regain a confident, happy and healthy lifestyle.

Emergency Interoperability Consortium
National Emergency Number Association
As congressional lawmakers probe the weak, uncoordinated government relief and recovery responses to Hurricane Katrina, they have begun pushing for better communications networks that are interoperable and resilient.
Last week, Sens. Susan Collins (R-Maine) and Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.) introduced a bill that would give $3.3 billion in grants to state and local agencies to build interoperable communications systems in the next five years.
The Assure Emergency and Interoperable Communications for First Responders Act of 2005 would also establish a new Homeland Security Department research program to assess current technological capabilities and evaluate emerging ones that can be adapted within a national framework that promotes interoperability, efficient spectrum use and information sharing.
The bill instructs DHS to develop at least two pilot projects that would evaluate strategies and technologies for providing and maintaining emergency communications when there is a substantial loss of ordinary telecommunications infrastructure and a sustained loss of electricity, as Louisiana and Mississippi experienced after Katrina.
The hurricane wiped out most of the communications and power infrastructures in the Gulf Coast region, leaving emergency responders unable to talk with one another and coordinate rescue activities. Flooding in New Orleans caused problems for responders attempting to bring in generators and fuel to get communications systems operating.
Lieberman said emergency officials were reduced to using runners to communicate between command centers and first responders in the field, which some observers have likened to Third World situations. But Lieberman said it was more like ancient Athens in 490 B.C.
"But certainly between 490 B.C. and the 21st century, we've made greater advancement in communications technologies than better running shoes," he said.
Several experts in emergency communications said the bill promotes some elements that have been missing in previous bills.
Matt Walton, chairman of the Emergency Interoperability Consortium, said he's encouraged by the bill because it specifically references data interoperability for the first time. Previous legislation almost invariably restricted its language to equipment, which meant voice and radio, he said. Although "we believe that voice and radios are critical, there is another realm however, which is data, which, if anything, is even larger and which, up to now, has not been clearly identified as a critical priority," he said.
Patrick Halley, government affairs director at the National Emergency Number Association, which promotes implementation of Enhanced 911 systems, said the bill looks toward next-generation technologies for more advanced systems, which the consortium supports, he added.
Halley also said the bill would create a federal emergency communications and interoperability office and an interagency federal committee to develop national standards for interoperable and survivable systems -- something that is clearly needed.
"There's been a lot of good efforts, but not one entity responsible for coordinating those efforts," he said.
Gary Oldham, a former police officer and fire official with extensive knowledge of communications, said the bill addresses two critical issues of interoperability. One is the technical aspect of getting disparate radio systems to communicate with one another. He said some stop-gap technologies promote interoperability in a certain area, but long-term solutions, such as software-defined radio, are needed.
But Oldham, who is now a program manager at Computer Sciences Corp., said the bill also addresses the need for standard operating procedures for incident response, which he said is essentially promoting the National Incident Management System (NIMS).
Although the fire service has been using clear text for years, he said law enforcement agencies still use codes when responding to some incidents. Standard operating procedures, such as NIMS, which state and local governments are implementing, provide a uniform way of responding to incidents. Otherwise, there may be confusion and miscommunication during emergencies, he added.
However, local, state and federal governments and the private sector must accelerate their efforts, he said.
"I think it's kind of going in the right direction, but it is and has been moving way too slowly," Oldham said.

Are people really still stuck on this shit or is that copied from some outdated standards document? Plugwash 00:19, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, it is still used in some parts of the world. 126.96.36.199 22:03, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- It used to be an option - you could choose party line service and save a few dollars on your phone bill every month Pendragon39 (talk) 04:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, should there be any mention of the "You have dialed a party on your line..." recording under Characteristics of Party lines? Or was this too rare and US centric to mention? I made a recording of the message when party lines were about to be removed from my house, so I might be able to find it and offer it up under an acceptable copyright rationale. 18.104.22.168 (talk) 18:27, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
- I remember this (as two-party lines) being in all one-person student dormitory residence rooms at Queen's University until 1989. It was dropped around the same time as the buildings were wired for Internet access. A fair number of suburban houses from the 1940's and 1950's also had internal wiring in the building which consisted of three black wires twisted together; these were originally tip, ring and ground. Once these were converted to private lines, the third (ground) wire was ignored and not used.
- On a two-party line with separate ringers for each, one bell went from tip to ground; on the other party on the same line the bell went from ring to ground. This worked only on the old dial telephones with the mechanical bell — the standard for private line is bell connected between tip and ring, so a modern electronic handset is a two-wire device. On the old mechanical-dial 'phones one could remove the 'phone from the plastic case and move one wire on a terminal strip to connect one side of the bell to ground, selecting a three-wire mode for party line operation. The third (ground) wire went as far as a terminal block in the basement somewhere, then was wired to a water pipe or a ground rod as the actual outside line has two wires (tip and ring) only.
- Apparently some of the university kids realised (before the school got rid of these dinosaurs) that if one disconnected everything but whichever two wires went to the bell (ie: phone had tip and no ring, or vice-versa, depending which party) the telephone would ring when called but there was no way for the victim to actually answer the call.
- These were still in use in some existing rural installations in the 1990's but any call placed from such a line had no caller-ID (just "unknown name, unknown number, out of area") as the system relied on some utterly obsolete mechanical switchgear to work at all. Any switch new enough to send caller-ID is digital and therefore too new to support true party-line operation. Distinctive ring was a variant which is supported on new switchgear, but it is missing two key capabilities: the ability to handle separate 'phone bills for each party and the ability to call the other party on the same line by dialling a special number (typically 4101 or one's own number), waiting a second or two, then hanging up before the 'busy' tone came on the line. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 06:20, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

"These are legendary and full of sin."
Serving Size: 1 (134 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 20
"I originally submitted a 4 star review and I whined a little about the texture right out of the oven. Well, after I re-read the directions, I saw that you're supposed to put them in the refrigerator. Oh. my. goodness. These are stupendous!! The refrigerator step is essential! I took them to a lunch after church today and people seriously lost their minds over them. Next time I'll use a deeper 11x17 (I used like a jelly-roll pan), or a 9x13 + a 8x8. I was proud to offer them for dessert to new friends! Thanks riff-raff!"
"I was still a little hesitant to try these after reading Oreos as one of the ingredients. But OMG...these are the absolute best brownies I have ever put in my mouth! I cut the recipe in half, threw in a 1/2 cup of vanilla chips and baked it in a 9X13 pan. I baked it for 27 minutes, which may have been a little short, so I will bake it a smidge longer next time. You have to try these if you love chocolate or brownies."
"50 stars. I Love these. My favorite cookie is an Oreo and who doesnt like brownies? The two go togather wonderfully. I take these everywhere. People beg for them. We had a bake sale at work. I brought these....one lady came back and took the whole plate of them...leaving us 20 bucks. She said it was worth 100. Thanks so much for posting!"
"These were very good. As suggested by others, I used a 9x13 and a 8x8. Be careful not to over bake. They will not look done when you take them out of the oven but do not be tempted to bake longer. I however do not think I will make again just for the cost. I have had brownies I have liked equally as well that did not have one pound of butter, a pound of chocolate plus a bag of Oreos."
"Made these just as recipe stated and they are wonderful! I made them in a 9x13 and they made very big brownies. I think next time I will use the 11x17 pan to get more brownies. Thanks!"
"Even if your not an Oreo lover these brownies are for you. They are the perfect chewy fudgy brownie with a bit of extra texture from the cookies. I did leave out the coffee but only because I did not have access to any instant. Also be careful not to over bake. The tooth pick is never going to come out clean with all the cookies in there. If you over bake them the top gets hard and crunchy. Just use your judgment, they are probably done when you think they are done. I also cooked these in two 8x8 pans and this made -monster- brownies and barely fit (I have a very small oven so I had no choice). Use bigger pans as directed if at all possible or half the recipe!"
"Wow, these are really good! I am not the best brownie maker (I usually overbake or underbake them, trying to get the fudgy consistancy we like), but these seem fail-proof! They are like a cross between fudge and brownies. I followed the ingredients (using the poster's recommendation for the lesser amount of semi-sweet chocolate chips). A few things I did differently were that I halved the recipe and baked them in a 9x13 pan. I chilled them in the fridge overnight, which did make them a bit difficult to cut. I used instant espresso powder in place of instant coffee, and I liked it, but I felt that the amount was a bit much (you could still taste "coffee") if serving to kids. I would probably decrease this by a Tablespoon (using only 1 Tablespoon in a 1/2 recipe) next time. I also saved about 1/2 c. chopped oreos (I chopped up 25) to sprinkle on the top, but while baking they smelled like they burned a bit. I tasted a top crumb, and they tasted fine. It looks nice, but I think I'll still just mix 'em all in next time. I baked them for 30 minutes, and they look great. My husband and most of my friends LOVE Oreos, and they think nothing can trump the convenience store Oreo brownies. I'm taking these to a BBQ today, so we'll see what they think about these! ;) Thanks for posting this recipe."
"I've been waiting forever for an excuse to make these! Since they make a rather large batch, I didn't think it wise to make the entire thing just for the two of us (I'd eat them all!), but I needed something to take to work tomorrow. I was surprised how thick this was after mixing in the oreos, but it baked up nice and really thick in a 9x13 and 8x8. Not as much of an oreo taste, but I'll let them sit for a day and try again...but I'll tell ya- you've converted DH for life!"
"Best Brownies ever! I have had the recipe printed out and in my book for a long time and never got around to making it until today. I used 24 oz of special dark choc. chips and made them in one 9x13 pan and one 8x8 pan. Came out just right. Love the hint of coffee flavor. Very rich and decadent, with 6 eggs and 1 lb butter how can they not be! The girls at the get together tonight will just love them!"
"LOVE 'EM!!! I have made these several times as they are now my standard brownie to take to get togethers. They always get rave reviews and I never take any home. I also use the 11X17 pan and the full 28 oz of chocolate...but I use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet. Fantastic brownies!!"
"These were pretty good. I used a 9x13 pan for a thicker brownie, which I like. The oreos added another depth of chocolatey goodness. This is definitely one for chocoholics and brownie lovers alike ! Thanks for posting."
"Loved so much really loved omg!!!!!!!!!"
"Oh wow! These were awesome. I needed something really chocolatey to fill the bill when I realized I didn't have my trifle dish to make my planned dessert. This went together very easily. This is almost like a fudge or candy! I do not like coffee and was going to leave it out altogether, but I knew all my guests did like coffee and I didn't want to ruin the recipe, so I put half in. I could really taste the coffee when I tasted the batter and when I cut myself a small square right out of the oven, but after chilling the brownies I couldn't taste coffee but the brownies had a wonderful taste!! Thanks for posting!"
"Wonderful chocolate brownies! Can't go wrong with chocolate! Thank you for posting!"
"We enjoyed these brownies. They were very moist and easy to make. I did think there was an overwhelming coffee flavor though."
"These are fabulous but very very rich. Took them to a church function and everyone loved them and said I should have brought milk next time. Thanks."
"Very good. I made some for a dessert bar at a fund raiser and they were well received. I only used one pound of semi-sweet chips eventhough I discovered later that the recipe posted at the Food Network calls for 28 ounces. I also discovered that I only had four ounces of unsweetened chocolate so I used that and 2 ounces of bittersweet chocolate. They still turned out quite well and are very rich. A WINNER."
"These decadent brownies are a chocoholic's dream. I have never tasted brownies that are this rich. Like another reviewer said, these are like eating a cross between a brownie and fudge. They taste like something that would come from a professional, upscale bakery. My entire family loves these! Thanks, riffraff."
"These are so rich its almost a cross between brownies and fudge. I was worried that all the batter would not fit so I used one 9X13 and one 8X8 pan and baked side by side, it came out wonderful, but very rich, so make the servings small and reap the rewards! I did use 12 ox of chocolate chips as that is the size of one bag. Loved them, MUAC!"
"This is absolutely the best brownie recipe I've tried. Maybe it's all the chocolate or maybe it's the coffee... but there is a richness that is undescribable. "

Sony beams down wireless data transfer
Sony has unveiled its own answer to Near Field Communication: a contactless data transfer system dubbed TransferJet that carries data at speeds of up to 560Mb/s. TransferJet operates on a 4.48GHz frequency. It's designed to allow consumers to transfer files from one gadget to another simply by touching them together, or by …
Hey hey, what a surprise...
Sony have their own proprietary answer to a new standard that no-one else will be using. I didn't see that one coming, oh no.
Why do they love to break standards so much?
@ Iain
"Why do they love to break standards so much?"
I assume it's a rhetorical question, but I would guess it's because they know it's likely if you own a Sony camera that takes Sony memory sticks, you'll be likely to buy other Sony equipment that takes the same memory cards... Failing that, they can charge a fortune to licence it to other manufacturers.
A shame - but unfortunately for me, I quite like Sony equipment anyway, so the phone, PSP, camera, hi-fi, DVD player etc are all Sony's. Feel free to call me a chump.
@ Anonymous Coward
You Chump.
@ Anon Cow
You're a chump.
I believe this is your coat...
You're a chump.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
There has been an embargo on new Sony products in my house for a couple of years now. Two minidisc players that stopped working days after the warranty expired and the root disk fiasco saw to that.
I like it
Wow. Could this mean a stack of digital component systems might function without 2 feet of bunched up cables between each of them?
If they increased the transfer distance (to say, 6 inches - so boxen could still use their heat vents), it sounds like a very worthwhile endeavor to me!
wirelessHD is the real answer to your requirement Bemi
3Gbits of data xfer speed - to increase up to 25gbit through
the next couple of years. plenty to move HD video around
whilst doign lots of other stuff.

Valve was founded because Gabe left Microsoft a millionaire. They became famous making Windows PC games and nine out of ten of their paying customers are Windows users. And trading cards were such a big deal, every new game had "with cards" on it. Not anymore. Its only been four months. Heck they put achievements on the home page of every game, but not the cards. I don't like this new Valve, you can't even email Gabe directly now. I thought he was one of us? Checked every email? You can defend them, that's fine. And I'll still buy from them, for now, but I don't like this change.
You need to brush up on your history, Microsoft owes it's existence to a number of entities it has later "attacked". For you to defend them on these grounds is mind-blowing.
You're also completely wrong about trading cards, even a cursory search of the Steam community group will show you new card sets are being added regularly.
As for emailing Gabe, email@example.com - knock yourself out.

Rare snowstorm hammers W. Oregon, SW Washington
Chilled and snow-battered residents of western Oregon and southwest Washington braced for a promised second punch from a rare and powerful snowstorm after the first installment dropped more than a foot of snow on parts of the Pacific Northwest.
Associated Press
Chilled and snow-battered residents of western Oregon and southwest Washington braced for a promised second punch from a rare and powerful snowstorm after the first installment dropped more than a foot of snow on parts of the Pacific Northwest.
Forecasters said a second low pressure system was expected to spread snow into northwest Oregon on Friday afternoon, possibly bringing another 6 to 12 inches of snow.
Adding to concerns about Friday's commute was freezing rain in the Eugene and Corvallis areas of the Willamette Valley and on the central Oregon coast, said Colby Neuman, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Portland.
Temperatures in the low 20s and teens were forecast early Friday, Neuman said.
Thursday's storm left one person dead in a massive Interstate 5 pileup in southwest Washington, caused multiple other wrecks and closed schools and offices.
Many school districts in the region canceled Friday's classes as well.
The snowstorm also caused a string of multiple car crashes on I-5 near Albany, Ore., essentially closing the highway there for five hours, the Oregon Transportation Department said.
The last back-to-back snow event like this in the region hit in December 2008, Neuman said.
The big I-5 pileup that killed one person and injured others occurred across the Columbia River in Washington state's Clark County.
At least half a dozen tractor-trailers were involved in the collision on the snow-covered freeway, The Columbian reported.
Washington State Patrol Trooper Steve Schatzel said several people were trapped in the wreckage. One suffered injuries described as critical and two others suffered serious injuries.
Oregon State Police Lt. Steve Mitchell described a 25-vehicle pileup on I-5 near Albany as "pure chaos."
Traffic backed up for miles. Only minor injuries were reported.
Oregon's largest city, Portland, recorded 3 ½ inches of snow by Thursday evening. Cars slipped and slid as commuters left work early. Some good-hearted residents helped push vehicles that got stuck.
A school bus slid on ice and collided with a car Thursday afternoon in Aloha, west of Portland. Firefighters said one of the children on the bus was taken to a hospital with knee pain.
Snowfall totals as of Thursday night included 13 inches in the small town of Vernonia, Ore., northwest of Portland, and 10 inches in St. Helens, north of Portland along the Columbia River. Snow also fell along the Oregon coast; the community of Wheeler got 9 inches.
In the Willamette Valley south of Portland, Corvallis got 9.3 inches and Albany reported 7 ½ inches.
In the Columbia River Gorge that divides Oregon from Washington, snow was accented by 30-40 mph winds that gusted to 60 mph, Neuman said.
In southwest Washington, Ridgefield got 9 inches of snow, Woodland got 7 and Longview got 5.
The storm struck quickly Thursday morning, dumping snow on the Albany region and then spreading north.

Seattle-based Chef'n Corporation has announced a strategic partnership with Fackelmann Group, a Germany-based distributor of premium-quality kitchen gadgets. Fackelmann Group will be the sole distributor for Chef'n and Vibe products in Germany and Austria starting January 1, 2014.
"With Fackelmann Group as our distribution partner we will be able to effectively reach new consumer and market segments within Europe's largest consumer market" said Bob Ludeman, evp/global sales for Chef'n. "Fackelmann has primarily been focused on its own brands but have been recently engaging with external brands to leverage their growth strategy. It's great timing and a perfect fit."
Alexander Fackelmann, CEO and owner of Fackelmann Group, is pleased that both companies have similar business and social philosophies, he said, adding that an ongoing commitment to long-term and sustainable economic growth as well as a continuing focus on responsibility toward customers, employees and the environment, are the essential building blocks for a successful long-term relationship between both organizations.

Update on Sprout Contamination in Germany
This article comes from cornucopia.org:
90% Sprout Contamination Conventional, Not Organic (Linked to Factory Farm Livestock Production)
AP 6-6-11: "In a surprising U-turn, German officials said initial tests published Monday provided no evidence that sprouts from an organic farm in northern Germany were the cause of the country's deadly E. coli outbreak."
Quotations attributable to Mark A. Kastel, Codirector and Senior Farm Policy Analyst at The Cornucopia Institute, a farm policy research group based in Cornucopia, Wisconsin:
Seasonal Allergy Relief
Sneezing, watery/itchy eyes, congestion, runny nose…could be a bad cold except at this time of year, it's probably seasonal allergies. After a long, cold winter we finally get to enjoy balmy weather and sunshine, but then have to endure the accompanying hay fever symptoms. It's not fair. Sigh. But here a few suggestions for ways to naturally alleviate the discomfort:
Savvy Shopping at Oryana
Even though our co-op continues to thrive and sales figures are up every month, people still remind us quite often that they believe we are high-priced and out of reach. The implication sometimes is that we are trying to price gouge. Sometimes it's difficult not to react defensively to this oft quoted accusation. But in all honesty, it's true that many products we carry ARE more expensive than at other stores. But rarely is the complete picture ever considered when shoppers make such comparisons. The most popular comparison is between our store and Meijer. While this debate deserves a thorough discussion, which we will do in future posts, today we are simply highlighting the many opportunities to be a smart shopper at Oryana and save lots of money on everyday items!
Members…Exercise Your Voting Rights
Members, if you haven't already voted for the non-profit organization of your choice for our Community Grant Program, you still have time to do so. Just drop by the store, read about the organizations that applied for the grant at Customer Service, get your ballot, and vote. Voting for the grant ends April 1.
Food for Change Movie
Food For Change is a work-in-progress documentary about food co-ops, local economies, and food security. The film focuses on the role food co-ops play in communities and gives an historical backdrop to the current cooperative movement by examining the growth of co-ops during the 1930's and the 1970's.

It's almost November and I am in the midst of the Diabetes Australia Walk to Work campaign (a national initiative to encourage all Australians to introduce walking into their day). It's a simple concept to introduce more physical activity into your day – you can park your car a little further away from the station, or get off the tram one step early.
Research of up to 400,000 people has found that walking an extra 15 minutes each day can help extend life expectancy by up to three years, while reducing the risk of stroke, heart disease and type 2 diabetes as well as increase mental wellbeing.
While walking is an easy way to make life more active, with the fast-pace of today's world, it can be a less favourable option than the quick and comfortable car or public transport ride.
These days with a 24 hour news cycle we see and hear of more health, nutrition, exercise and fitness stories than ever. With so many conflicting theories of how to get healthier, and not knowing what news you hear is credible, it can be confusing and sometimes it feels easier to ignore it all.
Or, sometimes the sensationalist messages you hear sink in and all of the sudden you're on a health 'kick'. We've all been on them, but how long do they really last for? Even the use of the word 'kick' implies a short and quick action, rather than a longer-term change in habit that has longevity.
Walking is simple, it's easy, it is part of your everyday life and can be an effective form of exercise if you make it worthwhile. I was particularly reminded of this on Monday, as I trudged to work through some of the worst rainfall I've seen in a long time. I arrived at work – yes, a little wet – but I still did it! It wasn't hard or tedious, it was just part of my day. That's why walking is part of my daily routine and will continue to be, not just for now, but for as long as I can.
You too, can sign up for Diabetes Australia Walk to Work and encourage those around you to get up and get moving!

Scouring the information super airways can sometimes be a tough,
if educational, task for the Aero-News staff... but it also allows
us to check out some truly neat and exciting sites, so it's not
that bad a gig. On any given day, we may check dozens (and often
hundreds) of different sources for story ideas, and facts
confirmation. And, as is the nature of our business, much of this
is done on the Internet.
The ANN gang decided we probably shouldn't keep some of the neat
sites, info resources, and organizations we've discovered to
ourselves... so we decided to bring you Aero-Linx. These are the
sites that WE check out -- when we need added perspective, a new
spin on a day's topic... or just want to escape into
cyber-aero-space for awhile.
Look for some of our favorite sites, coming each day to ANN via
Aero-Linx. Suggestions for future Aero-Linx segments
are always welcome, as well.

Apple tightens MFi rules, stalls 3rd-party Lightning add-ons
Following up on prior reports that Apple had not made Lightning connectors available to developers, multiple reliable sources have confirmed to iLounge that Apple has made significant changes to its Made For iPad/iPhone/iPod (MFi) policies, tightening control over the manufacturing of Lightning accessories. According to the sources, only Apple-approved manufacturing facilities will be allowed to produce Lightning connector accessories, even including third-party accessories. Moreover, Apple hasn't approved any factories yet, which the sources say will limit the number of Lightning accessories available in the near future.
One source notes that Apple is planning an MFi "seminar," where it will discuss changes to the program and the rules for Lightning accessory development going forward. The seminar will be held in November in China, notes the source, after the point at which third-party Lightning accessories could be manufactured in time for holiday sale. Sources have further noted that the Lightning connector has proved difficult to copy, reducing the near-term likelihood of unauthorized third-party connector cables.
Notably, Amazon orders for a third-party "iTronz" Lightning Adapter offered in September have now been canceled, with the vendor citing a "very critical functional issue." An e-mail from Amazon made reference to authentication chips found in the Lightning connector, initially citing a 20-25 day shipment delay. The vendor subsequently ceased sales altogether.
Updated Oct. 17: The seminar is scheduled for Nov. 7-8, according to a TechCrunch report. The report also notes Apple will strictly regulate sales of Lightning connectors for MFi partners, and that Apple will control the supply of Lightning pins — it will only supply partners with the pins when their products meet Apple's specifications and standards.

Starting to feel like Apple miscalculated here. With the dock connector, you had a standard that dated back nearly a decade, had hundreds of millions of devices that could potentially use any accessory built around it, and that market share momentum has allowed Apple to dominate the shelf space for accessories for years. All of a sudden, Android devices with their ubiquitous micro USB connectors are now the ones with all the market share momentum going forward. All the while, Apple tries to convince everyone why they should be lining up to jump through even more hoops and pay even higher licensing fees than before, and then convince stores why they should dedicate a lot of shelf space to niche accessories which won't even have a dominant share even in the Apple market for a couple of years and never become dominant in portable entertainment again.

"Super quick delivery (days earlier than expected!). Quick and easy design template. I used the pearl paper and am so glad I did. It added a little extra shine to the gold style design. The weight of the paper was perfect for my son's birth announcement!"
"This is the most unique card with beautiful colors! We used the card for our second son's birth announcement and received so many compliments! This is my second time ordering from tiny prints and I will continue to do so. The cards are such great quality!"
"I loved the colors used and the modern design. The paper quality was nice--I did get the double thickness which had a very substantive weight, but I think the standard thickness would have been great as well."
"This card looks absolutely gorgeous! I do not consider myself particularly artistic or creative but the card turned out great thanks to the step by step instructions on the website. Also I know this card is labeled "Basil snow" but it doesn't need to be used for only winter babies. We had a May baby and I liked the design so much I used it anyways. To me it doesn't look like snow but more like cute swirly designs. Everyone has loved them! I went with semi gloss and the picture looks so clear."
"Very cute design on nice qualty paper. I ordered them with the rounded corners, which definitely added class. Love the matching address labels as well!"

Once seller of farm equipment, Ohioan makes farm toy replicas
By DOUG GRAVES
Ohio Correspondent
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Jeff Moore of Dresden, Ohio, not only collects and sells miniature farm toys, he's taken his hobby to a higher level – he designs and manufactures them.
"The making of a farm toy manufacturer started in 1957, when I was born to a farm equipment dealer," said Moore, now 55. "My dad had a dealership from which we sold Allis-Chalmers, Massey Ferguson, Deutz and Kubota.
"In 1974, when my first child was born, I started collecting farm toys, not knowing what it would lead to in the future."
Moore attended his first toy show in 1981 in Lafayette, Ind. He's been hooked ever since.
"I started by customizing tractors and combines to make them more realistic," he said. "It was at this time I started to sell them at local toy shows. I knew then there was no turning back; the bug had bitten."
His first custom toy was a Massey Ferguson 760 combine.
"I soon learned the demand was much greater than I had ever anticipated," Moore said. "I also learned scratch-building was a lot of work and very time-consuming. It was at this time I decided the pieces could be made in larger volume if I had a spin casting machine, so in 1994 with a spin casting machine in hand, I set up shop in my dad's barn.
"I started making patterns and molds to cast a header wagon, followed by the tandem rake hitch. One thing led to another. By 1995 the demand was so great for these toys that I needed to hire my first full-time employee. Six months later I hired the second full-time and two part-time employees. Things were going very well."
Despite a fire in 1998 that destroyed the barn and its contents, Moore moved to his present location and, four months later, he and his staff cast their first items there and were in business once again.
The following year they purchased plastic injection-molding equipment from Hurley Barn Yard Toys of Wynette, Ill., giving them a line of plastic toys and accessories.
Business steadily grew and today Moore's website at www.mooresfarm toys.com features more than 1,000 model implements, models, kits and parts. His toys and parts are sold in retail stores in Dresden and at many national farm toy shows.
Last month, Moore sold many of his tiny replicas from a booth at the annual Ohio Expo Farm Toy and NASCAR Collectibles Show in Columbus. While he still sells some Kawasaki Mules, the company now focuses on farm toy detailing.
"We make parts and details for Ertl (Toys) and other companies, to make their tractors and combines look more authentic," he says. "I guess you could say we're a smaller version of Ertl Toys. We do ship our toys all over the world."
As with any business in this rugged economy, Moore is feeling the pinch. "We're holding our own the past few years, but the market has been a bit tight of late," he added.
"The biggest drawback to this hobby is the costs for metal. We use pewter for a lot of our master models and pewter costs $20 per pound. It fluctuates daily with the gold market."
Moore's Farm Toys is located at 3695 Raiders Rd., Dresden, OH 43821. Jeff Moore can be reached at 740-754-6248.

Nov 1, 2014 we kick off our first-ever Principal's Reading Challenge. Principal Smith is challenging our students and staff to read 10,000 books as a school between Nov 1 and Dec 17.
Our goal is to enjoy reading and read a lot. Most types of reading material will count toward our goal of 10,000:
- Picture books, novels, fiction, nonfiction
- Audiobooks, eBooks
- Magazines, read cover-to-cover
- Books read to students (in any grade) by librarian, teacher, family, reading buddies
- Comic/cartoon books, manga, graphic novels
Students will turn their logs in with their homework, each Friday for most classes. Additional logs are available in the library, office, or here.
Older students working through longer chapter books are welcome to read picture books to build their reading logs.
READING CELEBRATION Dec 17th: If we've reached our goal, or are close by Wed., Dec 17, we'll hold a school-wide Reading Celebration on that day. With a pajama day, lots of reading time, "bedtime" snacks and guest story readers. This is not a contest; we're not tracking students individually or awarding individual prizes. This is an all-school group effort.
