I've been lifting for about 3 years now. Started Powerlifting in the beginning of this year, after I met some great guys at a local gym (Barbaccio and T Gale, both members on this site.) Since then I've done 3 meets. 2 Raw and 1 Multi-ply. They've introduced me to alot of people (Jersey Iron Crew, Dynamo Club, and many more accomplished lifters) and pointed me in the right direction. Best training partners a guy could have.
I have no specific training style. I use different aspects from many different programs and use what works best for me at the moment. I try to hit 3 meets a year. My goal at the moment is to total 2000 at 220lbs.

Doug joined the OAG staff in the summer of 2008 after spending two years as a news anchor for WBUR. Doug is a New York Yankees/Oakland Raiders/Boston Celtics fan, an endangered species rarely seen in the wild. He is also a proud alumnus of Syracuse University and coincidentally bleeds orange, a convenient side effect of an undiagnosed medical condition. He also has a Master's degree from Boston University and bleeds scarlet upon occasion.
Doug was once the program director of Boston's first ESPN Radio station. In 2001 he was named Saga Communications' National Program Director of the Year for his work in the company's Portland, Maine, group. While living there he mingled with Portland's Sea Dogs, Pirates and other nautical sporting types.
Doug and his wife live just outside of Boston. Her remarkable lack of interest in sports keeps their household at an acceptable level of normalcy. Their two daughters keep it at an acceptable level of chaos.

This site is closed.
Superior Pass is your gateway into a bunch of hardcore sites that can be accessed for less than what most single websites cost. Does that sound too good to be true? Well, it isn't. That said, once you get past the tour page and decide to sign up, what you're really signing up for is Adult Blast, so if you are already a member there you won't need to bother with this site. If you aren't, though, you'll definitely want to see what this one has in store.
What it all means is that you're getting access to a mega-site made up of nine sites, including the likes of My First Butt Sex, Squirt Coach and Banged In Public, among others. They give you a good variety of porn that focuses on - as you can probably tell from their names - everything from anal sex to female ejaculation to outdoor/public sex. There are also some pretty fun reality premises.
On the site Date Site Liars, you will find a guy named Dave who spends his time telling lies online in order to hook up with chicks he meets on dating sites. On Tittylicious, busty babes show off their tits before having some fun with both guys and other girls. Sex For Breakfast follows sexy women in need of a place to stay in Berlin, all of whom pay their rent with their bodies. And that is just the tip of the iceberg.
The design is easy on the eyes and the site is simple to navigate for the most part. There is one little issue, though. If you want to access the porn from all the sites, you need to go to the "reality" section. The "movies" section is where your bonuses are, which come in the form of DVDs. You'll also find is a spy-cams section where you can watch live feeds from tanning beds.
As for the main content, you get 929 movies. Unfortunately, you don't have the option to download any of them. The good news is that every vid comes in a full-length file. Also, all the streams look great. Each scene is represented by a preview thumbnail and listed in order of most recent. You can also see the name of the model, its current user rating and the name of the site the scene originally appeared on.
You also get 929 photo sets. They each contain a pretty decent amount of photos, so you'll be glad to know that, unlike the vids, they can be saved in Zip folders, which you'll probably want to take advantage of on account of how every image is high-res and spectacular.
Unfortunately, not all the websites have fantastic update schedules, but enough are updating at a good enough pace that you can expect to find new material across the network almost every day. Sure, there's room for improvement here, but with great-looking content and a reasonable price, I have no problem saying this site one worth joining. And if you're already a member of Adult Blast, well, then you knew that already.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Ask a VW Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
There is a cable that attaches to the back of the speedometer head and goes to the transmission / transaxle. Usually the cables brake from not being lubricated. If the cables is good then the gear in the trans can be broken or the speedo head itself can be bad.
Thanks for your question and positive feedback,

Contract licensed faculty are evaluated every other year, beginning in Year 1 (the first year in Contract status). The purpose of the Summative Evaluation (see Section VIII) is to assess the licensed faculty member's skills relative to 4J's performance standards and indicators of effective teaching. Early in the school year, the licensed faculty member meets with the principal/administrator to develop evaluation goals, including plans for Student Learning and Growth Objectives (SLGO) and for Professional Practice Growth, and to schedule a minimum of one (1) formal classroom observation and the Pre- and Post-Observation Conferences. The principal/administrator also conducts a minimum of three (3) informal observations throughout the year and one (1) Mid-Year Conference on the SLGO and Professional Practice Growth Plans. In addition, the licensed faculty member completes a Self-Assessment early in the school year (see Section VIII).
Contract Year 1: The Summative Evaluation is based upon a combination of multiple measures and shall include: 1) evidence of professional practice, 2) evidence of student learning and growth, and 3) evidence of professional responsibilities. The overall rating will also include data and other information that have been documented and shared with the licensed faculty member. Sources of this information include:
- A minimum of one (1) formal plus a minimum of three (3) informal classroom observations
- Student Learning and Growth Objectives Plan, including documentation of student performance and growth—which accounts for at least 10% of the overall rating
- As required by the Oregon Department of Education (ODE), licensed faculty who are responsible for students' learning in English/Language Arts and/or Mathematics in grades 3-8 and grade 11 must include the statewide assessment instrument as one of their measures AND other evidence of student learning from classroom, school, District, or national measures.
- Licensed faculty responsible for areas in which state assessments are not required must include reliable measures of student learning, growth and proficiency (e.g., formative assessments, end-of-course tests, performance-based assessments, collections or portfolios of student work).
- Written work by the licensed faculty member
- Observation of the licensed faculty member's work with students, parents, and other licensed staff
- Licensed faculty member's input regarding the Self-Assessment (see Section VIII)
- A record of faculty and school activities
- Information provided by faculty (e.g., lesson plans, curriculum design, scope and sequence, student assessments, student work)
- Results of the Student Survey (see Section VIII)
- Information gathered from licensed faculty member-principal/administrator conferences
- Evidence of licensed faculty's progress toward their own professional goals and contributions to school-wide and District and Board goals (e.g., demonstration classroom, building-level leadership, promoting and participating in an adult learning school community)
- Any other commendations or concerns that have been documented and shared with the licensed faculty member
In accordance with the Oregon Framework, all contract teachers are evaluated holistically on the basis of student learning and growth, professional practice, and professional responsibilities. The Contract Year 1 licensed faculty member receives a rating of Model, Effective, Developing, or Ineffective based on these factors, including information gathered through classroom observations.
Contract Year 3: The Summative Evaluation process for Contract Year 3 parallels that of Contract Year 1 except that Year 3 places greater emphasis on the self-directed professional growth of the licensed faculty member. Thus, Contract Year 3 incorporates a form called Summative Evaluation—Professional Practice (see Section VIII). In this component, the licensed faculty member works with the principal/administrator during the September SLGO conference to identify a specific professional practice for improvement. This practice may be related to:
- Professional culture (collaboration and leadership in building an adult professional practice)
- Student learning and assessment (e.g., instrucitonal technique, classroom assessment tool)
- A district improvement goal
- Other area that is mutually determined as appropriate and that is drawn from 4J's Standards for Effective Teaching or from The Skillful Teacher: Building Your Teaching Skills by Saphier, J., Haley-Speca, M.A., & Gower, R. 2008 (6th Edition). Research for Better Teaching: Acton, MA.
At the end of the school year, as part of the Summative Evaluation—Professional Practice, the licensed faculty member writes a reflective narrative report based on claim, evidence and impact relative to the chosen facet of professional practice. The narrative must include specific data and should focus on outcomes. It encompasses the work undertaken and the results attained relative to the Student SMART Goals for learning and growth and the Professional Practice Growth Goals, all of which were established at the beginning of the school year. The report also discusses the unique Professional Growth SMART Goals or Team/Group SMART Goals that were established at the beginning of the school year through a conversation between the licensed faculty member and the principal/administrator. The report reflects upon the professional learning activities undertaken by the faculty member, any challenges that arose and how they were addressed, and the impact that the faculty member believes those professional learning activities will have upon future work with students, colleagues, and families.
In accordance with the Oregon Framework, all contract teachers are evaluated holistically on the basis of student learning and growth, professional practice, and professional responsibilities. The Contract Year 3 licensed faculty member receives a rating of Model, Effective, Developing, or Ineffective based on these factors, including information gathered through classroom observations and the claim, evidence and impact presented in the Summative Evaluation—Professional Practice narrative.

CAMERON - There are many different ingredients that go into winning a high school baseball game, not the least of which is being able to take advantage of the other team's mistakes.
Thursday afternoon, Eric James' Cameron club was able to find that key ingredient while Beallsville's Terry Jarrett was left trying to stir the pot with his youthful Blue Devils.
Ryan Hughes, Austin Warsinsky and Mark Walker combined on a four-hitter while the Dragons pushed across five unearned runs to escape with a 7-2 verdict against Beallsville.
The biggest difference was the hosts scoring five runs off the Devils' (0-2) seven errors while the visitors could not plate anything off five Cameron (4-1) miscues.
"The reality of things is that if you take away those five unearned runs they gave us this is a 2-2 game," James said. "But when you are facing a young team like that, you have to stay the course and play your game. I was not the least bit surprised that they were able to stay in this one."
After both teams missed scoring chances in the first, the Dragons pushed across a pair in the second with some two-out lighting and a pair of gifts. Atsushi Mukai singled with two gone and went to third when Austin Pegg reached on a error. Mukai later scored on an errant pick-off attempt to make it 1-0.
Pegg came around to score on Ivan Hall's double to deep left.
Senior Mitchel French was safe on another Blue Devils error to begin the third and scored on Hughes' double, with Mark Walker's run-scoring sacrifice fly making it a 4-0 count a short time later.
Cameron added another unearned run in the fourth before Taylor Neely's RBI triple in the fifth made it a 6-0 margin.
Beallsville picked up three of its four hits in the sixth, including a one-out single by Robert Valentine followed by a double off the back of Drew Tubaugh. John Dietrich's two-out, two-run single cut the deficit to 6-2.
Austin Pegg capped the scoring for the Dragons in the sixth with a towering home run to deep left-center field.
"We began the game with some errors, and you really can't do that against a solid team," James added. "To our credit we were able to gut it out and we also made some pretty good plays along the way.
"There were some timely hits, Austin Pegg hit his first home run here, Ryan Hughes is just seeing the ball so well and Taylor Neely is hitting the ball hard but just needs to find some holes.
"I told Coach Jarrett that they are going to be a scary team in two or three years. They have some gritty, gutsy kids over there who can play the game."
Warsinsky took over on the mound in the fourth and earned a victory after Hughes had allowed just one hit and no runs through three. Walker recorded the final three outs. In all, the trio combined for 10 strikeouts and two walks.
Logan Nippert pitched well, but was done in by his defense and took the loss. He fanned five and walked one, but allowed just four hits in five frames.
"It seems like the ball has had eyes in the two games we have played," Jarrett joked. "Don't get me wrong, Cameron hits the ball real well, but we are young and have to play better defense.
"There were some letdowns, and you can't expect to win with those, but we did keep them in the park for the most part. We are a young team that needs to continue to work and hopefully we will get to where we want to be."

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
Most workers understand that the guy (and sadly, it's still usually a guy) at the top of the corporate hierarchy is going to earn more than they do -- a lot more. After all, he's the one who has to pick up the pieces if the company falls apart. In some companies, however, the difference between the CEO's salary and workers' pay isn't quite as steep.
(Photo Credit: Tax Credits/Flickr)
PayScale's recent data package Putting CEO Pay in Perspective highlights the companies that have the best CEO-to-worker pay ratios. Note: Google and Sears are not on this list. Both their CEOs have salaries of $1 per year, making their CEO-to-worker pay ratio 0:1.
Here's the rest of the companies at the top of the list:
1. Hewlett-Packard (HPQ)
CEO: Margaret C. Whitman
CEO Total Cash Compensation: $535,335
Typical Worker Pay: $84,500
Ratio: 6.34
2. Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA)
CEO: Warren E. Buffett
CEO Total Cash Compensation: $485,606
Typical Worker Pay: $56,900
Ratio: 8.53
3. Microsoft (MSFT)
CEO: Steven A. Ballmer
CEO Total Cash Compensation: $1,261,218
Typical Worker Pay: $114,500
Ratio: 11.02
4. Oracle (ORCL)
CEO: Lawrence J. Ellison
CEO Total Cash Compensation: $1,547,057
Typical Worker Pay: $104,500
Ratio: 14.80
5. Costco (COST)

Livewire Mobile to Expand Suite of Mobile Advertising Services
A new mobile advertising service that allows callers to opt in for short marketing messages while waiting for their call to connect
is being introduced by Livewire Mobile (Pinksheets: LVWR) in collaboration with Adfortel, a Netherlands-based developer of mobile advertising solutions.
This latest version of the RingspotTM service, part of Livewire Mobile's family of mobile advertising solutions, is planned to feature Adfortel's VoiceAds Engine technology. Consumers who subscribe are able to hear and engage with targeted audio commercials instead of ringing or music when waiting for a call to connect. They are rewarded for opting in to this service with a variety of incentives from their carriers.
Carriers offering the service are able to generate additional revenue while increasing customer loyalty. Advertisers benefit from the new medium since all consumer exposure is permission-based and ads are always heard by the target group. This focused approach to one-to-one marketing provides that there is no waste and that advertising dollars are spent on accurately communicating with the required audience.
This latest service is in addition to Livewire Mobile's first Ringspot service, which allows mobile operators to offer consumers the latest personalization option for their mobile devices - an ad replacing the ring that that their callers can hear. Whether to the callers or to the subscribers, Ringspot ads can be made interactive, allowing callers to engage by pressing a button to receive more information via a text message.
According to a recent report from Juniper Research, mobile advertising in the ringback space is expected to top $780 million annually by 2015.
"Livewire Mobile continues to develop innovative platform and service offerings providing the broadest range of value-added services," said Matthew Stecker, president and CEO, Livewire Mobile. "Our Ringspot service is designed to allow carriers to take part in mobile marketing, one of the market segments with significant upside growth potential."
The new Ringspot service is planned for Q2 2011. For more information about the Livewire Mobile's Ringspot services, email firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.livewiremobile.com.

Common Core State Standards
Educational standards describe what students should know and be able to do in each subject in each grade. In California, the State Board of Education decides on the standards for all students, from kindergarten through high school.
Since 2010, 45 states have adopted the same standards for English and math. These standards are called the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Having the same standards helps all students get a good education, even if they change schools or move to a different state. Teachers, parents, and education experts designed the standards to prepare students for success in college and the workplace. Search for the California Common Core State Standards by clicking here!

Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium
The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (Smarter Balanced) is a state-led consortium working to develop next-generation assessments that accurately measure student progress toward college- and career-readiness. Smarter Balanced is one of two multistate consortia awarded funding from the U.S. Department of Education in 2010 to develop an assessment system aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) by the 2014-15 school year. Once the Smarter Balanced assessments become operational in 2014-15, they will be incorporated into California's Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program.

Hydrologic data for North Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1978
Open-File Report 80-573
- By:
- C.C. Kidwell
AbstractThis report contains rainfall and runoff data collected during the 1978 water year for the 21.6-square mile area above the stream-gaging station North Creek near Jacksboro, Texas. A continuous water-stage recording gage was installed at one representative floodwater-retarding structure (site 28-A) on Oct. 5, 1972. The data are collected to compute the contents, surface area, inflow, and outflow at this site. The stream-gaging station on North Creek near Jacksboro continuously records the water level which, with measurements of streamflow, is used to compute the runoff from the study area. Streamflow records at this gage began on Aug. 8, 1956. Detailed rainfall-runoff computations are included for two storm periods during the 1978 water year at the stream-gaging station. (USGS)

10/08/2007/12:32 pm, Halifax, NS
We had a wonderful week of anchoring in delightful spots all along Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore. We left the Bras d'Or Lakes on Aug 2 and gunkholed our way west toward Halifax, spending an overnight here, a couple of days there, in good weather and bad. There was no wireless internet to be found so that (and my busyness since we got to Halifax) is why there has been such a gap between postings.
Our first night out - at Cape Ronde on Isle Madame - was a rock'n roll one, followed by a long slog into the wind the next day to Port Howe. We plowed across Chadabucto Bay and wound between Piscatiqui and Hart Islands, past Canso, through Andrew Passage, and along through Dover Passage to our anchorage in Casey's Cove. That passage was so narrow we could have chucked rocks from one side of the channel to the other! We stayed two nights in this picturesque area, enjoying mussels that Gary - our hunter/gatherer - picked from along the shoreline, and roaming along the rocky beaches. There were a few little cabins tucked away among the trees but no boats other than the three of us.
Next stop was Liscomb Mills, home of Liscomb Lodge, about a five mile run up the river from the ocean - again just beautiful scenery. The marina manager, Chester Rudolph, is another of those magnificent marina men. He knew the water depths well, came out in his dinghy to show us just where to drop our anchor, made our dinner reservations, took us to Sherbrooke for groceries and to the St Mary's Smokehouse for mouthwatering smoked salmon. Jim and I hiked the 6-mile trail along the river to the salmon ladder and swinging bridge, and we all enjoyed the restaurant and showers.
We left there in dense fog on the morning of August 8, creeping our way back down the river, being vigilant about spotting buoys and ever thankful for our radar. The fog lifted now and then as we motorsailed once more westward. Our experience here leads us to believe that it is not the "sailing" that is wonderful on Nova Scotia's eastern shore; it is the anchorages, and you just get from one to another any way you can. It is rugged, rocky, and stunningly beautiful.
Because the forecast called for high winds and waves, we opted to weave our way inland among the shoals and islands again to spend a couple of nights at anchor in deBaies Cove in the Ship Harbour area. It was a perfect spot to wait out the storm. Our anchor held well as the wind shifted 180 degrees and howled through our rigging at 25 knots and more. We played cribbage, read books... and ignored the job list!
The last day of this part of our eastern shore cruise took us along under blue skies, sunshine, and little wind - again - toward Halifax Harbour. I could feel my heart dancing and my spirit bubbling as we rounded the corner into the city we called home for 10 years. Gary and Pam (of Atlantic Star) live right on the waterfront in Purcell's Cove and they kindly allowed us to tie up to their dock. Just like on the big ships, Gary zoomed out to meet us and came aboard to offer instructions on how to make the intricate little turns among the shoals to a safe landing. It was about the tightest manoevering into a dock that Jim has steered and it felt very satisfying to do it!
We'll stay in Halifax for several days to visit friends and make a dent in the boat job list.
01/08/2007/12:27 pm, Cape George, NS
We've coined a new phrase here on the good ship Madcap! I'll tell you the story of how it came to be.
One day last winter, as I was doing my usual breathless run from the cloakroom to the hairstylist's chair at the York Street Spa, I heard a voice say, "Beth??" The voice (and good memory) belonged to Susan Pringle, from Halifax, who was in town visiting her daughter. Susan's husband, Al, and Jim were colleagues back in our Halifax days, and although the two men met from time to time during the course of their work at Department of Justice, I hadn't laid eyes on either of them in over 15 years.
Susan and I chatted back and forth as we got our respective heads shampooed, cut and styled, and by the time we parted that day with each other's phone numbers and email addresses in our pockets, we carried hopes to connect again in Cape Breton where they have a summer home.
And so it was that yesterday we met up with them in the Bras d'Or Lakes. We anchored near Marble Mountain, they drove over, and despite a mix-up in pick-up points that gave Al a little extra rowing exercise, we made a successful rendezvous. Al and Sue, along with their daughter Jennifer and her husband Arthur came aboard for a fabulous sail across West Bay. It was a glorious day with the sun shining brightly, fluffy clouds in the blue sky, a 10-15 knot wind that was NOT sur le nez. We fell all over ourselves catching up on each other's news, finding Pringle family landmarks, talking about this whole sailing adventure of ours, hearing about their life as part Halifax/part Cape Breton residents with their own exploration plans, learning what Jennifer and Arthur are up to ...and trying to navigate somewhat accurately at the same time!
We eventually anchored behind Pringle Island - a sweet little anchorage - dinghied ashore where Al's brother picked us up and delivered us to the Pringle summer home perched high on the mountain. Oh, what a view!! Oh, what a lovely home! It was the perfect combination of serenity and sparkle, of colour and texture and light. More conversation flew back and forth over a delicious lunch, and by the time we headed back to the boat we felt really connected again.
The wind was still good and the weather was fine as we cruised by the Crammond Islands and then flew along under our main and yankee sails to Cape George where we anchored for the night.
What I find so wondrous about this whole thing is that old synchronicity at work. The chance meeting in Ottawa, the hours full of laughter and sunshine and conversation, topped off by a magnificent sailing day with excellent winds. This was the kind of time that stands out in memory, and that we treasure always.
It was a pringle kind of a day!
You look like you're wearing large loop earrings in this photo. I think real pirates only wear one! But you're definitely shaking the civil servant image!
31/07/2007/12:17 pm, Baddeck, Cape Breton, NS
Meeting Friends, Baddeck, July 31,posting #20
These last couple of days in Baddeck have contained lovely meetings with old friends. Along with the joys of discovering new areas, comes the feeling of wanting to share it with people we know. Part of that happens with our sailing companions; part through this blog; but it is especially fun to meet up with people in person so we can not only share our experiences, but also hear about theirs.
We had a couple of those opportunities here. We knew that Leigh and Phil Gertler from our home yacht club were doing a car trip to the Maritimes, and sure enough, as I looked up from my favourite seat at the Waters Edge Caf� on Monday morning, there was Mary, with Leigh at her side! Soon Phil and Blair and Jim joined us and we had a wonderful time of catching up on all the news from Trident Yacht Club as well as hearing about their favourite spots as they traveled up the South Shore of Nova Scotia to Halifax. We'll be sure to check out their "must see" places.
Later in the day, we moved to an anchorage a bit further into Baddeck Bay - in the same protected little harbour that Alexander Graham Bell used as a testing tank for many of his experiments. There, we were delighted to see Moon River looking just magnificent with Nova Scotia and Cape Breton flags fluttering smartly atop the mizzen mast (the second one on a two masted boat).
It just POURED rain that evening so our visit had to wait till the next day. We sent many grateful thoughts in the direction of Keebles canvas shop in Belleville that evening. Steve (their extremely talented canvas man) had custom fitted our cockpit enclosure last season and although it has proven its worth many times already, it sure paid for itself that night, as we sat comfortably in the cockpit sharing food and drink with Pam and Gary (of Atlantic Star) while the rain beat down overhead.
Next morning, we dinghied over to Moon River and caught up on the trip that Jennifer, Gratton, and John - their current crew member - are having. The last time we saw Gratton up close was as he serenaded us out of Iroquois Marine with a jaunty little tune on his harmonica! We caught glimpses of him here and there with various crew members aboard, but this was the first time for a real conversation. They send their best wishes to all the Iroquois gang!
Getting to know these two lovely people was a significant silver lining in the shed shuffle and scrape/sand/paint dance we were doing in the spring. We had several delays in our schedule due to a number of events, but through conversation and generous loaning of their tools, we were able to work out a plan with Jennifer and Gratton. It was a treat to see the beautiful new galley that they were having installed back when we were trying to find a time to roll on our foul smelling bottom paint, and (although they didn't specifically say it) I'm sure they were pleased to know that our bottom is very nicely watertight and barnacle protected!

It is Fall in the Central Valley and that means one thing (well maybe not just one thing, but) voting has started for the Modesto Area Music Awards.
It is in its 14th year and going stronger than ever with 20 categories, and close to 200 nominees. Over the next month social networks will be alive with bands, venues, comedians and promoters getting the word out and vying for your votes.
You, the fans, friends and family are the ones who choose the final winners. The last few years I have pushed and promoted bands and venues in Stockton and San Joaquin and many of the bands I put my efforts behind have taken home a steel statue.
This year sees me moved back to Modesto and fewer bands from Stockton/San Joaquin nominated, so I have expanded my range to include Stanislaus County. A few of the categories I had a very hard time choosing my favorites but alas you can only choose one out of each.
Here are my picks for the 2013 Modesto Area Music Awards. Best Rock I have chosen to back Renegade Conspiracy one of the hardest most professional bands in the area today. Best Pop Rock (maybe should be called Reggae) since 8/10 are Reggae Bands; my pick is A La Lune a fantastic band that has been playing and supporting the scene for longer then most in the category.
The Alt Indie Category was the hardest for me to choose from. I am torn between Callbox, Moon Trent (the Susan Lucci of the MAMA) and Seanario (if he wins I will be accepting the award on his behalf.) I do hope Moon wins though.
Best Singer/Songwriter another tough one with so many great artist being represented, from Alida McKeon (the 16-year-old phenom), Christine McGrew (with a very soulful voice but who can also rock hard) and Joey No Knows Combo (who is more then likely the odds on favorite.)
Modesto's homegrown favorite category Rockabilly/Psychobilly I throw my hat in with Darlin' Clementine female fronted Ukeabilly featuring members of the Refuzniks(who won 2 years ago when the category first popped up.) Metal always seems to get overlooked and is kind of the redheaded step child of the MAMA's, Clockwork Hero gets my nod more Hard Rockin' then Metal they are one of the hardest working bands in Northern California and are from Stockton.
Americana I wish Madie Boyd was not in this category, because I don't think it fits them quite right. I would love to see these kids win, but I have to give my Vote to the Wrong Doers.
Masked Avengers are my pick for Hip Hop/Urban these guys bring a very positive vibe to what they do and have performed with Hip Hop/Punk/Hardcore Bands you name it.
Blue Collar (or Cover Bands) I voted for Are We Him and would love to see them win but I predict that Triple D will be taking this one home. Best Jazz & Blues Wendi Maxwell & the Tres Hot Jazz Band get my support 100%, they are a fantastic group of young and older musicians and Wendi is one of the biggest supporters of the Arts in the area (and also from Stockton.)
There are two DJ categories and every year. I have no idea who to Vote for (Same goes for the Dance Club Promoter. I am and always will be an advocate for Live Music.)
For Venue it should be no surprise, Hero's(The Brewhouse) who since getting their live music permits in December have been doing more and more shows in a wide variety of genres. Restaurant/Cafe with Music is a hard one I give props to every venue, coffee shop, restaurant etc that allows live music, but since I can only choose one I voted for DEVA.
I am honored that for my first Comedy Show I will produce that there are 3 nominees that are performing. My first choices for this category are not nominated so I voted for Tom Bickle who will be hosting the show at Hero's on October 18th.
For Best Large Event I give my support to the Asparagus Festival and for Small Event or Series I give it to Modstock this year.
For Best Live Music Promoter, I am backing me (Middagh Goodwin), not only have I been doing shows in the 209 for over 25 Years, I have booked more shows than almost all the other promoters combined.
Last category and the next generation and future of music in the Central Valley, Best Youth Band this is a hard one to choose because all of them work so hard and have yet to truly blossom. Choose one I must and so I pick Time Value. Lets see what time holds for them and all the nominees of the 2013 Modesto Area Music Awards.
Voting ends and 11:59 on Monday October 21st and the Awards Ceremony will be held at the State Theatre in downtown Modesto on October 23rd. So take a moment and Vote www.modestoareamusic.com/vote
Your vote does count.

Daws Butler
Birth Name: Daws Butler
Born Charles Dawson Butler on Nov. 16, 1916 in Toledo, OH, Daws Butler was raised in Oak Park, Chicago, IL by his parents, Charles Allen and Ruth Butler. Though he aspired to be a cartoonist, Butler discovered that he had a natural talent for mimicry and unusual voices, and used that skill to overcome his shyness by entering local talent contests. The positive response to his impressions of President Franklin D. Roosevelt or a Model T engine starting on a cold morning convinced him to pursue a career in show business. He left high school at the end of his senior year to perform in Chicago nightclubs as part of an act with two other impersonators called "The Three Short Waves," so named becau...

We're only going to see more and more of this. Ugh.
The plan devised to protect downtown Manhattan, known as the Lower Manhattan Security Initiative, was introduced by Mr. Kelly in 2005. That raised concern among civil liberties groups, which have called for more public discussion as the police peer, with greater intensity, at more corners of the city.
Asked Sunday about criticism of the increased surveillance, Mr. Bloomberg said: "We live in a world where we have to have a balance. We can't just say everybody can go everyplace and do anything they want."
He added, "Do you really want to work in a building that doesn't have security?"

First Footage for THE LEGEND OF CHEN ZHEN
China Central Television (CCTV) aired our first brief glimpse to Andrew Lau-directed/Gordon Chan-produced martial arts film The Legend of Chen Zhen, giving us some idea on the action set-pieces from lead actor/action director Donnie Yen. I initially caught wind of this video at the Filmsmash forum and someone mention its The Green Hornet, Blood Brothers and Assembly all rolled into one. Yep, I couldn't agree more.
While China is traumatized by military cliques during the Warlord Era in the 1920s, Shanghai is the cynosure of all eyes. People see it as both Hell's Kitchen and Heaven's Gate. One of the city's most memorable heroes has to be Chen Zhen, who single-handedly avenges his mentor's death by killing all the Japanese at a dojo in Hongkou, only to be showered with bullets while making his legendary flying kick. Vanished from the public eye ever since, he has been taken for dead though his body is never found.The theatrical release date in Hong Kong is on October 1st. You'll find the preview footage embedded below.
Seven years later, a wealthy entrepreneur called Koo returns from abroad and makes a grand entrance on the Shanghai social scene by befriending the notorious mafia boss of the city. This mysterious man is none other than Chen Zhen in disguise who dwells in a world of nefarious means in order to infiltrate the criminal empire. He soon discovers a clandestine collusion between the mafia and the Japanese.
Disguised as a caped crusader at night, Chen sets out to dismantle with his martial arts skill the evil collusion that plagues the country. One of his foremost missions is to ferret out the assassination list prepared by the Japanese.

Famous quotes containing the words control, real and/or reason:
"To try to control a nine-month-olds clinginess by forcing him away is a mistake, because it counteracts a normal part of the childs development. To think that the child is clinging to you because he is spoiled is nonsense. Clinginess is not a discipline issue, at least not in the sense of correcting a wrongdoing."
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
"Thoughtfulness for others, generosity, modesty, and self- respect, are the qualities which make a real gentleman, or lady, as distinguished from the veneered article which commonly goes by that name."
—Thomas Henry Huxley (182595)
"As for fowling, during the last years that I carried a gun my excuse was that I was studying ornithology, and sought only new or rare birds. But I confess that I am now inclined to think that there is a finer way of studying ornithology than this. It requires so much closer attention to the habits of the birds, that, if for that reason only, I have been willing to omit the gun."
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)

On the one hand, Bears coach Lovie Smith has empowered his assistants to interview for other jobs, especially promotions. But on the other, the Bears are at a difficult point in the offseason.
Now comes word that the Tennessee Titans are reportedly interested in Bears offensive line coach Mike Tice as their offensive corrdinator.
The NFL Combine is just 10 days away, and the Bears would have a difficult time replacing Tice, not only because of what he did in 2010 but because of who is out there to replace him.
Only a couple of jobs are unfilled, and the most high-profile ones are on the defensive side of the ball.
Staffs are largely settled, and they are collectively shifting their focus to evaluating their own rosters and looking ahead to the Combine.
Given the obvious issues to his position group, it wouldnt be a stretch to say Tice is one of the -- if not the most -- important assistant on Smiths staff right now. Tice also has a track record of identifying and developing young linemen, particularly in the later rounds.
Although the Bears have their full allotment of draft picks, the club surely would prefer to leave that first-round pick open to the best player available. While that could end up being an offensive lineman, the Bears would prefer to have options. Tices input could help develop a strong contingency plan for players in the second- or even third-round.
Bears face dilemma with Tice - Chicago Sun-Times

If you want to trace the rise of Oscar Isaac, Adele Exarchopoulos, Tye Sheridan, and countless other name actors, all you have to do is take a look at past editions of the Cannes Film Festival. The event, a notorious hotbed for successful breakouts, kicks off May 14th this year, ushering in another slew of potential stars on the rise. Here are Indiewire's 10 to keep an eye on.
Evan Bird, "Maps to the Stars"
He looks like he might be Draco Malfoy's nicer little brother, but Evan Bird is often cast as the somber and wide-eyed boy bystander in "Psych," "Fringe," and "The Killing." With "Maps to the Stars," he's doing something new. David Cronenberg's film tells the story of dysfunctional, secret-stuffed Hollywood familes, comprised of Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, Sarah Gadon, John Cusack, and a politely sane Robert Pattinson as a limo driver. Coming on strong as Cusak's son, Bird stars as a star of a TV series who tries to make a comeback after a stint in rehab. It's a big step up, but if he nails it, he can bid farewell to bit parts.
Fabrizio Rongione, "2 Days, 1 Night"
You probably don't recognize the name of this Belgium-born actor, but he's no unknown in Cannes for his work with Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne. Some of the features starring Rongione that have appeared at Cannes include "Rosetta," "L'enfant," and "Le Silence De Lorna," which all won awards from 1999 to 2011. So why would starring in the Dardennes' latest drama "2 Days, 1 Night" be a breakout for him? Aside from maybe Cecile De France (in 2011's "The Kid With A Bike"), Rongione hasn't worked alongside too many big names. This year at Cannes, he'll play opposite Marion Cotillard, who, in the film, has only one weekend to convince her coworkers to give up their bonuses so she doesn't lose her job. With the additional benefit of being one of few cast members with a healthy portion of screentime, he'll probably be getting that much more worldwide attention.
Sonia Suhl, "When Animals Dream"
There's a lot of not-super-familiar talent in bloody coming-of-age tale "When Animals Dream." Aside from being Jonas Arnby's first feature-length film (graduating from commercials and shorts), it stars Lars Mikkelsen from the Danish TV show "The Killing" (predecessor to the U.S. version). But all eyes are on Sonia Suhl, who stars as the the young werewolf who can't keep her secret as she's hunted by her own community. The horror drama is already drawing comparisons to "Carrie." If the part of its central character is that demanding, it's a heck of a first feature role.
Giulia Salerno, "Incompresa" ("Misunderstood")
What's so enticing about "Incompresa?" Along with Asia Argento's return to the director's chair and Charlotte Gainsbourg as a famous mother, Giulia Salerno makes her debut as the "misunderstood" young daughter of famous parents. She looks like a younger Lena Dunham, but while it's a vibrant role, it's also looking like a melancholy one (watch the trailer here). At center stage in a tumultuous drama, it's going to be hard to look away from Salerno.
Brayan Santamaria, "Gente de Bien"
"Gente de Bien" ("Good People") is one of a precious handful of
Latino features to arrive at Cannes this year, and the only Latin
American film to play in Cannes Critics' Week. That should probably only
help spotlight Brayan Santamaria, who stars in this drama about a young
son's relationship with his father. That's almost the only buzz there
is surrounding Columbian director Franco Lolli's debut, but Charles
Tesson (artistic director of Critics Week at Cannes) has already called
the film "a work of overwhelming sincerity." Santamaria already has
breakout potential from being in the solo (and promising) Latin American
feature in this program

How Does the IRS Pick Tax Returns to Audit?
Posted By Jim On 03/29/2011 @ 11:21 am In Taxes | 135 Comments
Doing your taxes is never fun. Even if you ignore how you must spend a couple hours filling out boring forms, finding documents, researching deductions, blah blah, there's always the fear that you'll be audited. I remember having the most vanilla tax returns back when I was a teenager, the 1040-EZ [3], and even then I was irrationally concerned about an audit.
The reality is that very few people get audited, just a percent or so each year (in 2010 [4], 1.1% of returns were examined), and some of them deserve it. As much as we may like to think of the IRS as some cruel, emotionless monster trying to make the lives of hardworking Americans as miserable as possible, it's not. They're trying to collect tax revenue so the government can continue to provide the services hardworking Americans need.
How do they decide who to audit? It's actually very straightforward.
In 2006, they published a page [5] on the IRS.gov website that details exactly how they determined which tax returns to audit. It comes down to these four main ways (for individuals):
Most of the red flags you read about fall into one of the first two categories. For example, if you under report your income, you could trigger both the UIDIF score and the information matching reasons. If you participate in an abusive tax avoidance transaction and the guy who plans it gets caught [7]… you'll probably get audited.

Good bookEverything's included, well everything you'll need to be looking for, except for the fact that there are some spelling mistakes, which the active reader would spot very easily.

Very Good for PSU examsI have studied for GK exams through this book. This book is really good and develops the common sense. I have used it for competitive exams at PSUs and Oil companies. It was a great help. Though there is no surety of questions in the exams, but any person who has studied from aptitude books can handle questions properly up to 70% accuracy. The motive of an individual should be to build the knowledge and this book makes the same happen. I would recommend to use an additional source of "Current Affairs" with this book for updating the knowledge. Good Luck for all aspirants.
