Three Days Grace is a Canadian rock band formed in Norwood, Ontario in 1992, originally under the name Groundswell. After a breakup in late 1995, the band regrouped in 1997 under its current name with a line-up consisting of guitarist and lead vocalist Adam Gontier, drummer and backing vocalist Neil Sanderson, and bassist Brad Walst. In 2003, Barry Stock was recruited as the band's lead guitarist. The band is based in Toronto.
After signing to Jive Records, Three Days Grace has released five studio albums, each at three-year intervals: Three Days Grace in 2003, One-X in 2006, Life Starts Now in 2009, Transit of Venus in 2012, and Human in 2015. The first three albums have been RIAA certified platinum, platinum, and gold, respectively, in the United States,[1] whereas in Canada they have been certified by Music Canada as platinum, double platinum, and platinum, respectively.[2] The band has a string of number one songs on the Billboard Alternative Songs and Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks charts. At the start of 2013, Three Days Grace announced that lead singer Adam Gontier was resigning from the band because of a "non-life-threatening" health issue. Adam Gontier was replaced by My Darkest Days frontman Matt Walst, the brother of bassist Brad Walst, shortly thereafter. He was confirmed as an official member in 2014 and appeared on the band's 2015 album Human.

Origins as Groundswell[edit]
Three Days Grace has its origins in a band called Groundswell, which formed in 1992 in Norwood, Ontario. They released one full-length album, Wave of Popular Feeling. The line-up consisted of vocalist Adam Gontier, drummer Neil Sanderson, bassist Brad Walst, lead guitarist Phil Crowe, and secondary guitarist Joe Grant. Most of the members were attending high school when the band initially formed.[3][4] By the end of 1995, the band had broken up.
Early years as Three Days Grace[edit]
In 1997, Gontier, Sanderson, and Walst regrouped without Crowe and Grant and changed the band name to "Three Days Grace". According to Gontier, the name stands for a sense of urgency with the question being whether someone could change something in one's life if one had only three days to make a change.[5] Once in Toronto, the band became acquainted with local producer Gavin Brown. The band gave him several years of material that they had created since forming, and he "picked out what he called 'the golden nuggets'", according to Gontier.[6] Brown and the band polished the songs into a demo album which they gave to EMI Music Publishing Canada. The record label wanted to hear more material, and with Brown producing, the band created the song, "I Hate Everything About You", which attracted the interest of several record labels.[6] The band was soon signed to Jive Records after being sought out by the company's president.[3]
Three Days Grace (2003–2005)[edit]
After being signed to Jive, the band moved to Long View Farm, a studio in North Brookfield, Massachusetts to record their debut album.[6] The self-titled album was finished in Woodstock, New York and released on July 22, 2003.[3] It was met with generally mixed to favorable reviews. Dave Doray of IGN said of the album, "Mistakes? There's not many."[7] Allmusic reviewer Heather Phares said that on Three Days Grace, "the band's focus and adherence to alt-metal's formulas – coupled with tight songwriting and some unexpectedly pretty choruses – results in a strong tracks [sic] that are more memorable than the work of many of their peers".[8] She did criticize the album for its simplicity, concluding, "Three Days Grace are definitely one of the most accessible alt-metal bands of the 2000s; they just need to add some more distinctiveness to their sound."[8]
To support the eponymous album, in 2003 Three Days Grace released its first single, "I Hate Everything About You", the song whose demo had gotten the band its record deal.[6] The song received heavy airplay and rapidly became a widely recognizable song,[9][10][11] being labeled as the band's "breakout hit".[12] After Barry Stock joined as lead guitarist in late 2003,[4] Three Days Grace toured continuously and extensively for nearly two years in support of their major label debut.[3] The album peaked at number nine on the Canadian Albums Chart[13] and number 69 on the Billboard 200,[14] and was certified platinum in the US by the RIAA in December 2004[15] and double platinum in Canada by the CRIA.[16]
One-X (2006–2008)[edit]
Around the time the band's first album became a mainstream success with the release of their first single, "I Hate Everything About You" followed by two more singles, "Just Like You" and "Home", Gontier developed an addiction to the prescription narcotic analgesic OxyContin. After finishing touring for their first album, the band knew they could not continue with the condition he was in, so in 2005, with the support of his family, friends and band members, Gontier checked himself into the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). While in treatment, Gontier began writing lyrics for songs regarding how he felt and what he went through in rehabilitation.[17][18]
Adam Gontier successfully completed treatment at CAMH. The band found a place suitable for further songwriting in Northern Ontario, in a cottage by themselves where they experimented, tested, and practiced songs. After three months at the cottage, they had about finished what would be on their second album. Gontier contributed lyrics about his experiences in rehab; the first single from One-X, titled "Animal I Have Become", features lyrics Gontier had written while getting sober. The second album contained at least four more such songs, including "Over and Over", "Gone Forever" and two more hit singles, "Pain" and "Never Too Late". In a 2006 interview, Gontier said that the album's material was more personal to him than the band's previous work because the material had come out of his experiences with despondence, drug abuse, and rehab, which had constituted the past two years of his life.[18][19]
The album, titled One-X, was released on June 13, 2006,[19] and was guitarist Barry Stock's recorded debut.[3] Gontier also performed live by himself at various rehabilitation centres as a "thank you" to the people who helped him get through his addiction and as an inspiration to others who were also dealing with addiction issues. In these performances, he would play songs like "Pain", "Animal I Have Become" and "Never Too Late" to encourage and motivate other people under treatment to overcome their addiction. Most, if not all of, these solo acoustic performances, called the "Three Days to Change" tour, took place while Three Days Grace toured to promote One-X. In November 2006 Gontier performed with the band at a special show at the CAMH in Toronto, where Gontier went for his own rehab. The audience, of about 250 people, included patients, radio contest winners, family and friends of the band and representatives from the band's label. Following the performance, Gontier did a 50-minute Q&A session which was filmed as part of the "Behind the Pain" documentary.[citation needed]
"Animal I Have Become" reflects Gontier's regrets about the person he became during the Three Days Grace tour. "A few of us got really carried away, especially myself. I became somebody I didn't want to be."[11]

One-X was met with mostly positive reviews. The Toronto Star complimented the album with a review title of "One CD worth buying..." and focused on its lyrics, saying, "The lyrics really speak out to you, especially if you're going through a tough time in your life."[20] Allmusic reviewer Corey Apar praised the music, saying it "remains catchy despite its lyrical darkness",[21] but pointed out that Three Days Grace is "hardly innovative" in their approach to writing music and that "further distinctive qualities" would help the band separate itself "from their alt-metal peers".[21]
One-X peaked at number two on the Canadian album chart[13] and at number five on the Billboard 200,[3] selling 78,000 copies in the US in its first week of release.[22] Its first single, "Animal I Have Become", was Three Days Grace's most successful, becoming 2006's most played rock song in Canada,[20] and the album helped Three Days Grace to become the number one rock artist in airplay in the US and Canada in 2007, with Billboard ranking them as the number one rock artist of 2007.[23] One-X was certified platinum by the RIAA in the US on August 30, 2007,[15] and double platinum by the CRIA in Canada in July 2007.[23][24] Three Days Grace toured the US and Canada throughout the second half of 2006 and all of 2007 in support of One-X.[25] In early 2008, they toured alongside Seether and Breaking Benjamin across the U.S.[10][26]
Life Starts Now (2009–2011)[edit]
From March to August 2008, and from January to April 2009, Three Days Grace recorded their third album at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Los Angeles, with producer Howard Benson, who had worked with them on their previous releases.[23][27][28] The album, entitled Life Starts Now, was released on September 22, 2009. Critics as well as band members have noted the album's departure from the angry tone of the band's previous releases into a lyrical style that is perceived as more optimistic.[29] This album reflects the maturity of the band members as they overcome problems such as, sickness and death within their families in which they stated, "We had to be inspired by it, but the outcome is this: It's a new beginning. It's life starting over." [30] According to guitarist Barry Stock, the album's theme centers around "a new sense of freshness" and the idea that "you don't have to be stuck in whatever it is you're dealing with. Whether it's good or bad, it's your choice to make a change".[27]
Life Starts Now debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, Three Days Grace's highest chart position, and sold 79,000 copies in its first week.[31] The album was met with mostly positive reviews. Ben Rayner of the Toronto Star gave the album a negative review, saying it possesses "no sound of its own, just a shallow range between Linkin Park and Nickelback".[32] According to Allmusic reviewer James Christopher Monger, who gave the album three out of five stars, Life Starts Now continues the theme of One-X, Gontier's personal demons, but with a "hint of sunlight".[29] He complimented the album, saying it "treats the well-worn metal themes of anger, isolation, heartache, and redemption with the kind of begrudging respect they deserve, pumping out a competent flurry of fist-bump anthems and world-weary, midtempo rockers".[29]
The first single from the album, "Break", was released on September 1, 2009.[23] Three Days Grace embarked on a 20-date Canadian tour lasting through November and December 2009.[33] They co-headlined a January–February 2010 tour of the U.S. with Breaking Benjamin and Flyleaf,[34] and toured as the headlining act in the US with support from Chevelle and Adelitas Way from March to April 2010.[citation needed]
Life Starts Now was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2010 Juno Awards,[35] but lost to Billy Talent III.[citation needed]
Three Days Grace went on tour with Nickelback and Buckcherry on the Dark Horse Fall 2010 Tour. They toured with My Darkest Days starting in March 2011,[36] and later joined Avenged Sevenfold on their spring "Welcome to the Family" tour in 2011.[citation needed] They toured with acts such as Avenged Sevenfold and Bullet for My Valentine on the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar tour from August 2011 to October 2011.[citation needed]
Transit of Venus and Gontier's departure (2012–2013)[edit]
On October 7, 2011, RCA Music Group announced it was disbanding Jive Records along with Arista Records and J Records, and moving all the artists signed to the three labels to its RCA Records brand, including Three Days Grace.[37][38]
On June 5, 2012, the same day as Venus' visible transit across the sun, the band announced that their fourth studio album would be called Transit of Venus which was set to be released on October 2, 2012.[39] They created an early promotional video that was released on their website, featuring clips of them in the studio as well as footage of the physical transit of Venus. Due to the rarity of this occurrence, they created the slogan, "Some things will never happen again in your lifetime", reflecting both this uncommon occurrence as well as the mood that the lyrics and music would most likely take on.[39][40] The first single from the album, "Chalk Outline", was released on August 14.[41]
On January 9, 2013, Three Days Grace announced that Adam Gontier was resigning from the band.[42] Brad Walst's brother Matt, of My Darkest Days, replaced him on tour with the band as lead vocalist. They cited a health issue of Adam Gontier's as the reason for his sudden departure.[citation needed]
On January 16, 2013, it was reported that the band described details of Gontier's departure as being abrupt and unexplained.[43] Later, contrary to belief that Gontier had turned again to his addictions, he explained that he was simply ready to start a new chapter in his life, stating, "After twenty years of being part of an ever evolving band, I have been inspired by life, to move on and to continue to evolve on my own terms.".[44] Since his departure from Three Days Grace, Gontier had begun his solo career with the "Adam Gontier Solo Tour", with shows on the Ink Life tour and acoustic sets in venues such as Revolver's E-Cig Lounge in Ohio. In 2015, Gontier revealed his new project, the supergroup Saint Asonia.
Three Days Grace commenced their 2013 tour in Moline, IL along with Shinedown and P.O.D. with Matt Walst (younger brother to bassist Brad and the lead singer of the band My Darkest Days) as touring lead singer.[45] He was substituting and was not an official member of Three Days Grace,[citation needed] until a post to the band's official website on March 28, 2014 confirmed he was the new lead singer.[46] Dani Rosenoer, the band's current touring keyboardist and backing vocalist, also first joined the band for the 2013 tour.[citation needed]
New vocalist and Human (2014–present)[edit]
On March 28, 2014, the band confirmed Matt Walst had become the official replacement for Adam Gontier.[46] During an interview on July 19, 2013 with 99.9 KISW in Seattle, Neil Sanderson confirmed they are currently working on a new album and they have already recorded half of it. He stated, "We're really amped-up about it, it's got a new energy. It's a little heavier, and it's just more aggressive and it's just got this fresh vibe."[47] On April 1, 2014, the band released a new track titled "Painkiller" on the iTunes Store.[citation needed] It was released to US Rock radio on April 8, 2014.[48] On June 6, 2014, "Painkiller" reached No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Charts, making it the eleventh No. 1 single the band has released.[49] In an interview in August 2014, the band revealed the title of their next single, "I Am Machine", which was released September 30, 2014,[50][51] On January 26, it was revealed that the new album will be titled Human.[52] On March 23, "Human Race" was released as the third single. Human was released on March 31.[53]

However, on their second album One-X, the band added a few guitar solos and a new, more melodic sound.[72] On their third album Life Starts Now, the band experimented with poppier sounds as shown in "Lost in You" and "World So Cold". On Transit of Venus, the band added a few electronic influences.[73]

[POST-MODERN ROCK] Thrown to the back of alt-consciousness like so many threadbare ironic T-shirts, Cake still goes the distance, though more dependent than ever on a comfortably maturing fan base (2011\'s Showroom of Compassion debuted atop the charts—with the worst sales of any No. 1 album in Billboard history) that neither knows nor cares about a worsening critical reputation not altogether deserved. Though the band is loathed in certain circles for embodying all the evils of a nascent hipsterdom since the release of 1996 breakthrough Fashion Nugget, the dilettante romps through discarded idioms felt ironic at the time—the disaffected Gloria Gaynor cover, the breezily doleful trumpet fills, the lyrical preoccupation with décor, even the band\'s Sacramento origins seemed oblique whimsy—but confusing aesthetic with identity and embracing past pop trifles soon enough became a generational illness. If John McCrea\'s none-more-arch delivery limits emotional resonance, that hardly means he\'s insincere. Make no mistake, so long as the monied faithful buy out consecutive nights at Doug Fir despite ludicrous prices just to catch his droll toastmaster rendition of disco, he will survive.SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Cake PRIORITY:3END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR

Easter Dove Bread #2
Colomba from CELEBRATIONS
Colomba is an Easter bread, shaped like a dove. Regional versions are found all over Italy. They may be free-formed by hand or baked in special dove-shaped molds. Some have a cake-like texture, while those made with yeast have the consistency and texture of bread dough. In this version, hard-boiled eggs are nestled in the dough before baking. Place the doves in a colorful basket and use as a centerpiece on your Easter table. They also make a nice Easter gift. These can be frozen once completely cool, but the eggs will not be edible.
6 1/2 to 7 cups King Arthur™ Unbleached, All-Purpose Flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
5 large eggs plus 4 hard-boiled large eggs
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, melted
1 1/4 cups milk, or more as necessary
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 whole cloves
Colored sprinkles
Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease two cookie sheets. On a piece of cardboard, make a template: Draw a dove that is 12 inches long from tail to beak and 7 inches across at its widest point. Cut out the form with scissors.
Sift together 6 1/2 cups flour, the sugar, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk together 4 of the eggs, the butter, milk, and vanilla until well combined. Add to the flour mixture and mix with your hands to form a ball of dough that is smooth and no longer sticky, adding more flour if necessary.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until it is smooth. Divide the dough into 2 pieces.
Roll each piece of dough out into a 13 by 11-inch rectangle and transfer to the cookie sheets. Place the template on each piece of dough and cut around it with a pastry wheel or small sharp knife. Remove the scraps of dough. With scissors, cut small V's in the tails to resemble feathers. Stick 1 clove in each head for the eyes. Place 2 of the hard-boiled eggs side by side in the middle of each dove's body. Cut 4 narrow 6-inch-long strips of dough from the dough scraps and cross 2 of them over each egg.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the remaining egg. Brush the doves with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the colored sprinkles.
Bake the doves for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and firm to the touch. Let them cool slightly on the cookie sheets before removing them to cooling racks.
Note: There is a colored picture of the baked doves nestled in an Easter basket in the cookbook.

Lochte dampens Phelps comeback at USA Swimming Grand Prix in Mesa, Arizona
Michael Phelps' second race since coming out of retirement was against a familiar rival, Ryan Lochte. Although Phelps was the top qualifier in the morning prelims, Lochte, representing his new team SwimMac, got the better of the world's greatest swimmer in the championship final of the 100m fly at the ARENA Grand Prix. Lochte, an 11-time Olympic medallist, touched in 51.93, the second fastest time of the year behind Takuro Fujii's 51.84 set at the Japanese Nationals in Tokyo. Phelps was out in 24.76 at the 50m mark but Lochte turned more than a tenth faster at 24.64 and had more in reserve for his finish.
Phelps' time of 52.13 signaled that his short training has paid dividends, tonight's time tying his with Germany's Steffen Deibler for the fifth fastest time of the year. Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all-time with 22 career medals was competing for the first time since winning the last of his six medals at the 2012 Olympic Games in London – a span of 628 days. Kenya's Jason Dunford was third in 53.08.
Phelps was the fastest qualifier in the morning heats, posting a time of 52.84. Lochte delivered the second seeded time of the morning prelims setting up the first clash of the two titans since they last raced in the London Olympic Games. Phelps achieved a qualifying time for this summer's USA National Championships and the opportunity to compete for a spot on the 2014 Pan Pacific and 2015 FINA World Championship teams. These two events are a stepping stones for athletes hoping to compete in the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil.
Lochte never doubted that Phelps would return to the sport. Despite Phelps' insistence that the sport of golf would be his next challenge, Lochte predicted that Phelps would be back. Just months after Phelps declared that his races in the 2012 London Olympics would be his last, Lochte insisted "the sport will miss him. Michael is one of my favorite rivals, and I will miss him." Lochte was spot on when he insisted "I think he will come back. When you do something for so long every day, and he's still young. I think he will be back for Rio. We'll see. He'll miss the sport.'' Lochte will turn 30 on August 3rd. Phelps is 11 months younger.
The swimming world was energised when the rumors of a possible comeback proved to be true. Earlier this year the 28-year-old Olympian had returned to the North Baltimore Aquatic Club pool, reuniting with Coach Bob Bowman. Phelps has been training with a host of Olympic stars including Yannick Agnel of France, Lotte Friis of Denmark and Americans Allison Schmitt and Conor Dwyer.
"We have discussed a long-term plan in general terms, but until he swims in a meet, we're not going to know," longtime coach Bowman said before the meet. "I think he certainly won't be embarrassed swimming in the meet, and I think he will be competitive. The difference is, he is doing half the training he used to." Bowman told the Associated Press , "I think he's just going to test the waters a little bit and see how it goes. I wouldn't say it's a full-fledged comeback."
Phelps race in the 100m butterfly in Arizona was in the same event in which he won at three consecutive Olympic gold medals. Phelps still holds the World and the American record of 49.82 set at the 2009 FINA World Championships in Rome, Italy.
After the race Universal Sports commentator Rowdy Gaines asked Lochte and Phelps about all the hype surrounding tonight's finals. Lochte quipped: "Seeing all these cameras in my face this morning, I wanted to say 'Thanks Michael' drawing laughs from the sold out crowd that had come to see Phelps race at the ARENA Grand Prix.

With Phelps standing just inches away Lochte said: "I peeked over at Michael at the turn and almost starting smiling." Phelps retorted "Why, because you were ahead! Was it because you were winning?" The two Olympians laughed, happy to continue the friendly rivalry that Lochte always believed would resume when Phelps returned to the pool.
"I am my hardest critic and I know what I can do there." said Phelps who competed in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games as a 15 year old. " I am having fun and I really do mean that. It's great to be swimming in front of packed stands and cheering us on and helping get us through this race. It's always fun swimming against Ryan. Neither of us wants to lose to the other and that's what makes us swim faster."
Phelps and Lochte raced against each other in the 100m butterfly at the 2012 US Olympic Trials in Omaha, Nebraska. Phelps's insisted that race was his last swim on American soil. He won in a time of 51.14, a little more than half a second faster than Lochte who finished third and did not qualify for the US Olympic team in that event.
In London Lochte won his second individual gold medal in the 400m individual medley in a head-to-head competition with world record holder Phelps. Phelps finished off the podium in fourth place. Their last head-to-head race was in London when Phelps beat his rival in the 200m individual medley making Phelps the first man to win an individual swimming event at three consecutive Games. A day later Phelps would claim the three-peat in a second event, the 100m butterfly.
At his post race press conference Phelps confirmed that when swimming against Lochte, "we bring the best out of each other. It's a fun rivalry, we always have fun racing each other and we keep it very light. It was cool to hear the people in the stands go crazy when I was stepping up on the block this morning and it was the same tonight."
Reflecting on his first day back in the sport, "I have said this my whole career and I will continue to say that swimming has given me so much. I don't think I can give back enough for all that it has given me. This has been an amazing journey and I hope it continues."
In his Olympic career, Phelps has won 18 Olympic gold medals, 2 silver and 2 bronze. His gold and overall tally of Olympic medals are the greatest medal haul for any Olympian in any sport. Phelps also holds the Olympic records in five individual and three relay events, in each of the eight events he won during his sweep at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

mail from multiple gmail accounts - misdirecting
going to try and explain this as simply as I can...
I add tasks from two different gmail accounts to the same todoist account
when I go back later and click on them, sometimes the links open in the wrong account.
is there a better way to do this or a way to ensure this doesn't keep happening??
All responses
Hi AskStevek,
What browser are you using? Are you logged in to both gmail accounts in that browser?
Please let me know so I can assist you further. :-)
I've had this problem, and it appears to be a gmail issue, not a Todoist issue. However, you can solve it if you ALWAYS open your gmail accounts in the same order. The first account you open will be account "0", and the URLs to specific messages in that account will include "/0/" somewhere buried inside the URL. The next account will be "1", etc. If you are using gmail+todoist together, the URLs you generate to reference gmail items will contain that information. If you log out of gmail and login again in a different order, they won't work. If you have logged in multiple times and created multiple gmail entries with different orders, well, that's a problem since todoist doesn't let you edit the URLs of gmail entries.
The problem is exacerbated because only the FIRST gmail account you log into gives you access to google drive. So if you use google drive from more than one google account, you are kind of hosed.
It took me a while to address this, with help from the todoist staff. The result has affected my workflow. As far as I can tell, if you have multiple accounts AND use google drive from more than one of them, the only bulletproof method is to use separate browsers. I always use gmail+todoist from Chrome, and always with my work email as the first one. I still log into multiple gmail accounts, but they are in the same order. If I need to use google drive for my personal gmail account, I use Firefox.

Fraser tells Abilene council how his water bills will benefit the city
State Sen. Troy Fraser praised Abilene officials Thursday for their long quest to assure a lasting water supply for the city and its neighbors.
The chairman of the Senate Natural Resources Committee spoke to members of the Abilene City Council during a midmorning break in the council's regular meeting.
On Wednesday, the Horseshoe Bay Republican announced three bills aimed to provide a mechanism to make the state's long-range water plan work effectively and efficiently for the next 50 years.
To his Abilene audience, the lawmaker explained his legislation and outlined how it would apply to Abilene's planned Cedar Ridge Reservoir in northwest Shackelford County, about 35 miles northeast of Abilene.
The Senate bills would set aside $2 billion from the state's so-called Rainy Day Fund to initiate water infrastructure and conservation projects, create an entity to hold the funds and reorganize the state's Water Development Board, and enable local governments to create joint agencies to operate water projects.
The new entity will be known as the State Water Implementation Fund of Texas (SWIFT).
The Water Development Board would prioritize proposed water projects, and Fraser said Cedar Ridge should receive a high priority. The project could benefit from a bridge loan from SWIFT's revolving funding to cover pre-construction costs, he said.
This would save city taxpayers from having to pay for years before they begin to benefit from water flowing from the lake, he said. Such loans would be repaid to SWIFT with revenue from water sales, he said.
Abilene could also tap the state's $6 billion in authorized water development bonds if it would enable the city to pay a lower loan interest rate than it could get operating solely on its own credit, Fraser said.
A 10 percent set-aside for rural water development projects also might apply to Abilene because it supplies water to rural neighbors, Fraser said. Abilene sells to 13 water customers, including Dyess Air Force Base and nearby towns and water supply corporations.
Mayor Norm Archibald told the council chambers audience that the Fraser bills echo his own State of the City speech on Tuesday. The mayor listed moving forward with the $200 million Cedar Ridge project as the city's top priority this year.
On Thursday, he said the project dwarfs any other the city has undertaken.
Construction of the lake would not finish before the end of the next decade, city officials say. Pre-construction tasks include getting permits from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the U.S. Corps of Engineers, adopting final plans for the lake, acquiring necessary acreage, and awarding a construction bid.
The new reservoir would have about three times the storage capacity of Abilene's primary water source, Lake Fort Phantom Hill — 227,000-plus acre-feet compared with 70,000-plus acre-feet, and would be about twice as deep in its deepest parts, 130 feet compared with 66 feet. Nearly all of the lake would be in Shackelford County, stretching slightly into Throckmorton and Haskell counties.
Fraser said he has encountered enthusiastic support from colleagues in the Republican-dominated Texas Legislature.
If the state doesn't assure ample water supplies for future residents, businesses and agriculture, people will stop moving to the state, he said.

Claes OldenburgAmerican, born Sweden (Stockholm, Sweden, 1929)
Blue Legs
In the winter of 1961-62, Oldenburg opened the Store, also known as the Ray Gun Manufacturing Co., which he set up in an actual storefront on East Second Street in New York. A combination of exhibition, performance, and garage sale, the Store offered for purchase various items — including candy bars, a bridal mannequin, cakes, and Blue Legs — all fashioned out of painted plaster over chicken wire. The artist could replenish the stock, if necessary, by simply making more items in the studio portion of the space in the rear.
Oldenburg's replicated consumer goods could never, with their crude surfaces and straight-from-the-can paint application, pass for the real thing. His radical assertion, however, was that such foodstuffs, clothing, and miscellany viable subjects for art.

Superstar K3 runner-up Busker Busker broke into pop music consciousness earlier this year with their wildly successful first studio album and breakout single, "Cherry Blossom Ending." Just released is their music video for their latest track "If you Really Love Me."
"If You Really Love Me" was written by lead vocalist and guitarist Jang Bum Joon and Bae Young Jun. The lyrics describe lovers who keep missing each other's true feelings through a series of misunderstandings. For the music video, the lovers' sad story continues as they go their separate ways, but is juxtaposed against lighthearted BTS footage of Busker Busker's concerts, music video shoots and fan meetings.
As it turns out, the song's concept was inspired by a past relationship of Jang's where he thought it was better to express his love for his girlfriend often. But the high frequency of "I love you's" caused her to feel that he was being insincere.
It's clear that the band is not popular for being the most technically perfect on their instruments or because they boast the best vocal talent. Instead, Busker Busker's appeal is in how easy relatable the subject matter of their songs are. Even those who haven't grown up hearing Korean trot music can feel the nostalgic quality of Jang Bum Joon's voice and how well the group conveys the bittersweet feelings of lost love.

Craft Class: The Very Contemporary
In this course, we will read and discuss fiction written and published in our own century. Topics of particular interest will include technology and the self, 9/11 and the age of the war on terror, religion and fantasies of apocalypse (cultural, environmental, religious, etc.). Attention will be paid to questions of form, technique, and style. We will endeavor to survey our own cultural imaginary and to try and anticipate (or even shape) our eventual periodization—assuming, of course, that there's anyone left in the future to look back at us. We'll be reading novels, novellas, and short stories by: Don DeLillo, Dennis Cooper, Darcey Steinke, Cormac McCarthy, Joshua Cohen, Christine Schutt, Tao Lin, Sam Lipsyte, Jim Shepard, Lydia Millet, Barry Hannah, and more. We'll read chronologically by original publication date, with occasional cheating. Course work will include in-class writing exercises and "book reviews" (500-1,000 word response papers) that will help you organize your thoughts for discussion and develop your critical faculties.

Joining the flagship Nokia Lumia 920, the Lumia 820 is a cheaper alternative that offers the same Windows Phone 8 features and super-fast 4G speeds along with some of its own little surprises.
First off, Nokia are calling the Lumia 820 cases 'shells' which come in red, blue, yellow, white, purple, silver and black and also Wireless Charging Shells so you simply pop your phone onto a charging plate, pillow or stand rather than having to connect fiddly wires.
The main screen is a 4.3 inch ClearBlack display found also in the previous Nokia Lumia 900 model, but this time it can be operated even when wearing gloves!
On the back of the phone is an 8 mega pixel camera which captures 1080p full HD video and offers Carl Ziess optics for high quality pictures along with new Smart Shoot technology which captures a series of photos and then merges them into one for the best possible snaps!

What we think of the Nokia Lumia 820:This is an extremely affordable yet attractive and funky Windows Phone 8 device with the essential ingredients for both work and play.
We particularly like the fact that you get a great camera, wireless charging and the latest operating system for such a small price tag, anyone looking to discover what Windows Phone is all about will find this sleek and feature packed Nokia phone is a great introduction, also check out the HTC 8S Windows phone as an alternative.

Join Pajarito Environmental Education Center for a winter hike or snowshoe along the East Fork Trail Jan. 13. Michael Altherr, experienced hiker and skier, will lead this outing, which will meet at PEEC at 9:15 a.m. and return around 3 p.m.
This winter hike or snowshoe (weather-dependent) will lead participants along the East Fork Trail from Las Conchas to the East Fork Trailhead. The trail follows the meandering East Fork of the Jemez River for approximately two miles before climbing up to the top of the mesa.
Then it descends almost imperceptibly through quiet woodland for about three miles, ending back at the trailhead on N.M. 4. Hikers can expect one rise of significance (~450 feet in ¾ mile) with an obstacle (cattle gate) near the top.
Altherr has been hiking, skiing and getting to know the Jemez Mountains trails for 20 years. Last year, he has ran or walked this particular trail at least half a dozen times. Altherr said he never gets tired of this path.

IGN Entertainment's GameSpy has joined Sony Computer Entertainment tools and middleware license program, making its in-game technology available for PSP game title developers. GameSpy technology lets game developers add sophisticated online gaming features to their PSP game titles just as they have with the PC and PlayStation 2 platforms.
GameSpy's tools open a world of possibilities for PSP game title designers. Some of the most compelling elements of PC and console games - such as leader boards ranking a player's accomplishments among others, awards systems that reward skills and frequent play as well as team-based competition and tournaments - are now as easy to implement on game titles for PSP on games for GameSpy-connected PCs and consoles.
GameSpy technology can significantly extend the capabilities of online game titles by taking advantage of the interconnectivity provided by WiFi hotspots. Using GameSpy's solution, game developers can give their players freedom to find and compete with each other anywhere in the world via a WiFi hotspot - home, coffee shop, office - just as conveniently as from a connected PC or console.
The tools use the familiar GameSpy application programming interfaces (APIs) that are already available on the PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Nintendo DS, Linux and Macintosh. This consistency should reduce the cost of porting games from other platforms to the PSPand speed development.
