Volunteer "Rovers" Needed To Inform Smokies' Fall Visitors On Oconaluftee River Trail, Mountain Farm Museum and Newfound Gap Road
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is recruiting volunteers to help the park staff by roving the Oconaluftee River Trail, the Mountain Farm Museum, and fields along Highway 441 (Newfound Gap Road) to educate and advise visitors and help with traffic flow. This volunteers will be needed from late August until November 10, 2012.
Volunteers will be asked to rove four hours prior to sunset on the same day each week.
Volunteer rovers offer great assistance during the evening hours in the Oconaluftee area by providing visitors with useful park information regarding regulations about littering and interacting with wildlife. They also informally present important information about the Park's history, wildflowers, and make suggestions for the best areas to view fall leaf colors.
During the frequent presence of elk in the fields along Newfound Gap Road, volunteers will aid Visitor Use Assistants and Rangers in traffic management as well as provide visitors with information on viewing the elk and their role in Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The volunteers will also provide assistance by distributing information about regulations that prohibit disturbing and approaching wildlife.
Anyone interested will be required to attend one, 5-hour orientation and training session on Monday, August 27 (not the 28th as park officials initially said), at the Oconaluftee Multi-purpose Room near Cherokee, N.C. To register for the training, or for more information, please contact the Oconaluftee Visitor Center at 828/497-1904.

There was a misnomer in the press release for this. The training date is actaully Monday, August 27. When you call to register they will inform you. NPT Staff can call to verify.

This House is Haunted
By John Boyne
Young Eliza Caine is bereft following the unexpected loss of her father. London no longer offers her any reason to stay, so she impetuously takes a job in the country as a governess.

The reality of her situation began to sink in when she arrived to two unusual children, no parents, and some very odd things happening at Gaudlin Hall. This novel is an homage to the classic Victorian ghost story. (Formats: Print; eBook)

To further this effort she enlists a third boarder, the handsome, cupcake-baking Anthony. As the three swap money-making schemes and timid Gwen ventures back out into the dating world, the arrival of Margot's paroled ex in the efficiency apartment downstairs creates not just complications but the chance for all sorts of unexpected forgiveness.

Upstate, South C...
Well, I haven't been on here in a while and I've realized how much I missed you, Burdastyle! I thought I'd add the costume I just made my baby since I entered it in the costume contest. I got the idea of making her a caterpillar from the silly looking sleep sacks she wears to bed. We joke that she looks like a glow worm. Then, I decided she needed to be a caterpillar that turns in to a butterfly. I made everything out of fleece and did a little engineering to make the costume transform. The butterfly wings fold up and tuck in to a zippered kangaroo pocket on the back of the sleep sack. I traced one of her sleep sacks for the pattern. The cap is a bonnet pattern from little betty with antennae stuck in the seams. The leaves were for fun but she sure does love to chomp on the them. From very hungry caterpillar to beautiful butterfly!

Battle Ground: Clark County Fire and Rescue took part in a live fire training last week at a city-owned building on Main Street in Battle Ground. Nearly three dozen firefighters trained Thursday at 801 E. Main St., a building that once housed Galeotti's Restaurant. The city bought the property so it could continue work on the next phase of its Grace Avenue Improvement Project, which will align the intersection of Grace Avenue and Main Street. Clark County Fire & Rescue spokesman Tim Dawdy said the exercise was a win-win: it let firefighters fulfill their mandated live fire training while demolishing a building that needed to come down for the street project.

College students typically spend the summer working at jobs to help pay expenses for the next semester. They may want to pack in a little extra overtime this summer.
Tuition costs will likely be going up again in the Minnesota State College and University system. The MnSCU system and the U of M regents are looking for ways to cut expenses, especially with a plan to revamp the way top administrators are paid, but the state is looking at another deficit in a couple of years. Don't expect a big boost in state support of higher education. As in past years, the cost of education is being shifted more to students who are already heavily burdened with debt.
The state's short term savings in education budgets will cost in the long run. We need a well-educated workforce for the future, and our colleges need to provide them. Students who leave college are going to spend years digging themselves out before they can spend a lot on houses and cars.
Somehow, the state has to find a way to meet the needs of higher education. It's something to ask candidates about in the coming campaign season.

Taking a Pulse
Every man should familiarize himself with certain physiological facts, and with these as guideposts he ought to be able to follow a train of indications to a reasonably fair diagnosis. The pulse rate, taken at the wrist, is generally a fair index of the condition of the body. The normal man has a pulse rate of about seventy-two beats per minute, women somewhat more rapid; high elevations also produce a more rapid pulse.

On April 10, 2013, City Council voted to adopt Zoning Code amendments for parking minimums, which will apply to some future apartment buildings depending on their location and size. The vote followed a five-and-a-half-hour public hearing at City Council the week before, at which dozens of people testified for and against parking minimums. Amendments proposed by Commissioners Nick Fish and Amanda Fritz were included in the adopted code, which will go into effect in 30 days. Projects that have already received a building permit or that have submitted a complete permit application will not be affected.
Mayor Charlie Hales said the vision of urban planning remains, but must be modified from time to time to address the changing reality.
"We had a vision for main streets and we still do," Hales said. "This doesn't mean we're moving away from our vision; it just means we're adjusting. And you know what? We likely will have to do this again in the future."
Read the adopted New Apartments and Parking Zoning Code Amendments
Highlights of the Code Amendments
The revised regulations will apply to new apartment buildings with more than 30 units that are within 500 feet of a street with frequent transit service or 1,500 feet of a MAX station, and in certain commercial zones. The amount of parking required depends on the size of the building. For example, buildings with 31 to 40 units will have to provide one parking space per five units, while larger buildings will be required to provide more. But developers will be able reduce their parking obligations up to half by providing various amenities, such as spaces for car- or bike-sharing services.
Portland's first Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 1980, includes goals and policies to "... regulate off-street parking to promote good urban form and the vitality of commercial and employment areas." In the early '90s, City officials rewrote the Zoning Code and included three new commercial zones to promote main street storefront character with mixed use/residential development.
Today, historically low vacancy rates, especially in inner Portland, have resulted in a boom of apartment construction, many without onsite parking. In response to community concerns about potential parking impacts, the City Council directed the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability to research the issue and develop Zoning Code amendments that require some parking for larger multi-unit buildings.

El's Kitchen Pineapple coleslaw Coleslaw can be boring and plain, but it gets dressed up at Els. Creamy-like pineapple coleslaw adds a zing of flavor that goes perfectly with the grilled chicken club sandwich or a barbecue brisket sandwich. Manager Ellen Haran came up with the idea of pineapple coleslaw, and chef Sirino Bautista fine-tuned the recipe.
"I wanted it to be a little light and not a heavy, mayonnaise-y type but not a vinegary type either, so its kind of in the middle," Haran said, adding they must have tried about 50 times before they nailed the recipe to her liking.
Haran said the response has been "very good. ... I had a lady today, she said, 'Wow! What is the flavor?' She couldn't figure it out and [after Haran told her, the woman] said 'Oh, yeah!' "
Hoosier Mama Pie Company Vinegar pie We'll eat just about anything in our pie, but vinegar? It might sound like a turnoff, but try the vinegar chess pie at the Green City Market (1750 N. Clark St.), and youll be coming back for more and be bummin if they are out of it. The pie filling bursts with butter and sweetness with a smooth, slightly chewy consistency, accompanied by a flaky, homemade crust.
"We bake seasonally, so right now in the summer, we can't keep up with all the fruit," says Hoosier Mama Pie chef/founder Paula Haney. "It's actually stressful trying to make sure that we get all of the wonderful fruit and flavors used before they go away for the winter. About January and February, we start running out of stuff, as you would have, say, in a farm somewhere in the Midwest if you were out there growing your own food."
Haney and her fellow employees started going through old cookbooks and came across recipes for vinegar chess pies, which she said originated in old England. She said that the first week that Hoosier Mama Pie had the vinegar pie for sale at Green City Market, people said, "You gotta be kidding me," but then they would try samples and say how amazing the pie is. Hoosier Mama Pie also makes lemon chess and chocolate chess pies.
Marlena Irizarry, a manager of the Lakeview location, said when Ani Poddar (who owns both Chicago Paciugo shops) first tried the black pepper olive oil at a Madison, Wis., Paciugo shop, it was love at first taste. Irizarry said that many customers try the black pepper olive oil.
"I usually get people to try it by saying that its the owners favorite flavor, she said. The olive oil is very subtle at the beginning, and then toward the end you get the spicy kick of the black pepper."
A lot of people like it, she said, "But some people say it's strange and its weird. We get a lot of mixed reviews, but most people generally say they like it but that they wouldnt want to have a whole lot of it."
Irizarry likes to pair the black pepper olive oil gelato with panna cotta gelato or fondente gelato because she said the flavor combination tastes like cake icing or chocolate mousse. "It just kind of blends really well together," she said.
Catering, Chocolate Lavender ice cream Lavender is good for potpourri, the invigorating Thymes shower gel and ice cream? Yep, it's true: Rich, creamy and decadent, the lavender ice cream wows at Catering, Chocolate's gourmet chocolate and gourmet food shop in Old Town. In fact, the first time the kitchen staff made a batch of the stuff, employees enjoyed the lavender ice cream so much that only a few pints made it to the refrigerator for customers.
Black Dog Gelato Sesame fig chocolate chip gelato Black Dog offers a number of bold, adventurous flavor combinations, including the addictive sesame fig chocolate chip gelato. It's well worth the 10- or 15-minute wait in line, as the gelato ripples with awesome flavor, providing a salty-sweet combo and tasty crunch from the chocolate chips.
Bleeding Heart Bakery Corn and peach cupcakes This has to rank high on the list of things you would never expect to go together, but the folks at Bleeding Heart make it work. Chunks of peaches and corn kernels are mixed into the cupcakes, which are topped with icing and corn kernels.
Twisted Sister Bakery Potato chip cookies While the cookies at this Old Town might sound annoyingly salty and crunchy, the chips are chopped to tiny bits that are mixed well, and the cookies turn into tasty, perfectly crispy treats topped with powder sugar.
English Lobster mac and cheese It might sound a little funky, but "Top Chef" alum Radhika Desais rich, gooey lobster and white truffle mac and cheese impresses with tasty chunks of lobster mixed with parmesan and cheddar pasta topped with panko bread crumbs.
Get divey on Grace; go downstairs at River North's Curio.
Go Dutch at Vincent and satisfy a familiar sweet tooth at BomBon.

The high school football playoffs are in full swing at stadiums throughout Texas. Across the state, teams are transporting their equipment and their fans to games they hope to win.
San Angelo's teams have been eliminated from the playoffs, but the seats in San Angelo Stadium are still warm: Playing host to teams that are still in the running has kept the stadium open deep into the playoffs.
In an effort to extend its attraction for out-of-town teams and increase use of the stadium — attracting more teams and being able to host more games per day — a committee is looking for ways to pay for a new, bigger field house.
The field house was built in 1956, said Rex Scofield, athletic director for the San Angelo Independent School District.
"What we have right now is very antiquated," Scofield said.
The price of a new facility, he said, was estimated 18 months ago to be $2.3 million, and he thinks now the figure is probably around $2.5 million to $3 million.
So far, fundraising efforts have resulted in pledges totaling $1.3 million, Scofield said. "We'd like to have $2 million" before a formal proposal is taken to the SAISD board, he said.
He said he hopes to hit that mark by May.
Using input from schools and teams that use the stadium, the design includes five locker rooms, and meeting, training, rehabilitation, laundry and weight rooms.
"It wouldn't just be a game facility," said Scofield. "It would also be a practice facility."
Students from Angelo State University and Lake View and Central high schools use the stadium for football practice, soccer and track and field.
A lot can happen in 50 years.
"It was one of the better field houses when it was built," said Freddy Davis, Central High School track coach. Now it's outgrown, Davis said, and a new one would enhance programs for the students.
The new field house would extend from its location to near the edge of the track, incorporating a hill in a two-tier design. The grass was replaced with turf and a new track was laid four seasons ago. The existing turf would not be affected by the proposed construction.
The new building would not only fix the problems of the old building — plumbing headaches, accessibility for the handicapped and the seepage of shower water to the outside — it would also have more locker rooms, allowing three or four games to be played a day. Right now, games are scheduled with at least four hours of setup time in between, said Scofield.
Additionally, there are logistical problems players and coaches have to deal with.
"The locker rooms are really crowded, and there are not enough lockers for all the kids," said Steve Heryford, head football coach for Central.
Dan Brown, an athletic trainer for the Wichita Falls Rider, whose school won a playoff game at San Angelo Stadium on Saturday — said benches in the locker room that would give players somewhere to sit off the floor would be nice and easier access to water to fill the coolers they take to the field would help.
In comparison to other stadiums, Brown said, San Angelo Stadium is sometimes better, sometimes worse.
"Dallas/Fort Worth has a very nice one, but then again in some other places, this is better," he said.
Bonnie Logsdon traveled to San Angelo to accompany her son, who was the mascot for El Paso Chapin, Rider's opponent on Saturday. Logsdon said her son went in the field house and came back, and said, "I'm changing in the van."
The economic impact on San Angelo of having visiting teams stay and spend their money is something the committee savors. Logsdon, for example, said she enjoyed coming to the city where her son was born. Driving into town, she already had taken pictures of her son at San Angelo Community Medical Center. She planned to eat at Zentner's Daughter Steak House before returning to El Paso.
"People want to come to San Angelo," said Stormy Kimrey, chairman of the field house committee. "They come here to stay at least two nights, and they'll do some Christmas shopping."
"Every time we host a playoff game, we will be bringing additional money into our city," Scofield said.
Heryford sees the proposal of a new field house as an investment: "It's more cost effective. Over time it pays for itself."
Corporate sponsorships, engraved pavers, the naming rights to the various rooms as well as to the field house itself are available to donors, and the contributions are tax deductible, Kimrey said.

Let's face it: Your houseplants lead a pretty hum-drum existence. Drink water, convert sunlight to energy, blah, blah, blah. Don't you wish you could spice up their lives a little?
Well, now you can! Introducing the Bike Planter: This little container straps to your bike frame and lets you bring your favorite flora on any bike trip. That's right, your household greens can now feel the thrill of wind in their leaves.
Retailing on Etsy for $45, this invention is for someone who really loves to bring green wherever they go, and doesn't mind putting out a few pennies to do so. Of course, if you don't want your bike getting all the attention, wearable lapel pin and necklace planters are also available.
Should you try the Bike Planter, be forewarned: Once your plants get a taste of life on two wheels, they may never want to return to their windowsill.
Visit WearablePlanters' Etsy site.

OK, can anyone say "DUMB"? The only time a bike should be turned into a planter is when it is no longer rideable. CommuterCarl gives this a two green thumbs down.

The NUMBER ONE song in The OzHitztory Blog's Top 20 Best HitSongs Of 1956 is…
Elvis Presley and "Heartbreak Hotel!!!!!"
Otherwise known as the moment when rock'n'roll lost its virginity.
I like to think that Bill Haley never had sex. That he was a virgin all his life. Simply so that I don't have to think about him doing it, and I'm pretty sure his wife would agree.
Elvis on the other hand. He was a guy who had sex. He was a guy who had a lot of sex. He was a guy so sure about his sex-supply that even whilst he's singing a song of heartbreak, he's letting the girls know where he's going to be staying tonight.
Lock up your daughters… Elvis aint going to be lonely for long.
Also, I'd just like to say, that the dude on double bass, might just be my favorite standing-around-in-the-background dude of all time!

The best general purpose note taking apps for iPhone and iPad that let you take notes quicker, organize them better, and share them with the people and services you need to.
When it comes to taking and keeping track of notes, iPhones and iPads are are far better than leaving stickies all over the screen, fridge, door... you get the idea. Not only are note-taking apps nowhere near as messy, they're much easier to sort and organize thanks to folders and tags. We've already taken a look at the best text editing apps as well as the best handwriting apps but what about times when you want to jot down notes quickly and keep them easily available for later reference? There are lots of options to choose from in the App Store, but here are our favorites.
Evernote has native apps for most mobile and desktop platforms, so it can follow you pretty much wherever you go. Evernote not only supports standard, typed notes but checklists, audio, and picture notes. Evernote also lets you organize your notes into notebooks and provides tagging support. You can upload up to 60MB worth of notes a month for free, and that can include plain text, check lists, media attachments, and more. Premium accounts are $5 a month or $45 a year and remove the monthly limit. Both account types have a limit of 250 notebooks and 100,000 notes.
If you need the ability to save audio and media attachments, and want wide-ranging cross-platform support, get Evernote.
Vesper is one of the best looking and most intuitive to use note-taking apps. It supports text, images, and tags, and any new tag becomes a new menu item in the sidebar so you can easily find your notes later. It's iPhone only, and while there are no export or sync options, you can share notes via messages, email, and other standard options.
If you only need to take notes on your iPhone, and tagging is your preferred method of organization, get Vesper.
Simplenote, as the name implies, is a simple way to take and keep notes on iPhone or iPad. It supports tags, including the ability to tag people (contacts) for easy sharing. Simplenote also excels at syncing, and includes options to publish notes to the web, and roll back to previous versions of a note. Simplenote is free to use but is ad supported. Upgrading to premium gives you more syncing options and removes ads, but will cost you $19 a year.
if syncing and versioning is important to you, check out Simplenote.
Drafts offers iCloud sync between both the iPhone and iPad versions. As far as typing notes, Drafts only supports plain text notes but can convert Markdown as well as detect links. The killer feature for Drafts, however, is its sharing options. Drafts can export and share notes to pretty much any third party service you could imagine from Facebook to Twitter to App.net clients to Dropbox. That makes it almost like time shift for text. When you have an idea, drop it in Drafts, then figure out what to do with it later.
If you need to jot down ideas quickly, but want a ton of options to do with them later, get Drafts.
These are the note taking apps we think are the best when it comes to general purpose notes most of us need to take on an everyday basis. Do you use any of the above? Let us know how they've worked out for you in the comments. If you use something else, make sure to let us know that too and why you chose it!
Thanks iMore just downloaded the Evernote app

Springpad has been my longtime go-to app. I would be curious to see a comparison of Springpad and Evernote and what your thoughts are.
Check out the app "Notebooks" for iPad
Sent from the iMore App
I use both Draft and Evernote, and on many occasions, in conjunction with each other. Both are worth the money and the time to use, in my opinion, and I'm glad to have them on my devices.
Sent from the iMore App
I also use these two and work like a charm. I've also tried "Write 2 HD" for iPhone/iPad is simple and good too, but drafts is a winner.
Sent from the iMore App
I wish Google had Keep for iOS. Until then, I'll still use Evernote.
Notesy. Rock-solid, syncs with Dropbox, powerful multi-note search.
Second that.
I almost got Vesper, but the author never answered my question on a particular feature. Asked a colleague and was recommended Notesy instead. Got that. Splendid Dropbox integration and a beautiful app. Makes Apple's own iOS apps look silly.
I have been using notability for iPad to take notes for college and I think that it is the best tool out there. It is simple to use and there are so many great features for students like handwriting and editing tools
I would recommend this app to anyone who wants to take notes simply and quickly
I'd love a comparison if you have one in the works like you all did with Markdown Apps.
Evernote in conjunction with Drafts is amazing, but if you're somewhere with no reception and need a note, you're screwed unless you pay the monthly fee. I'd love to find something similar to Evernote that I can buy outright, instead of paying a huge fee after a couple years of use. (I work in a lot of basements, so the "no reception" thing comes up a lot for me and I can't get to my notes with Evernote.)
This is why I don't use Evernote as much anymore. If you always have a stable internet connection, nothing beats it. But you're stuck when you don't, and I've found that I'm just not comfortable relying on Evernote. The recent upgrade of One Note for iOS finally made One Note a reasonable note taking alternative. Combined with Sharepoint access to my notebooks on my desktop at the office, it's proving to be a better option for my notes.
One Note looks interesting, but I don't want to download a 500mb note taking app on my phone, that's a major resource hog.
OneNote for work and Evernote for personal stuff.
The combination works well for me.
I've used NotesTab for a long time on my Mac and then got it when I got my iPhone, and I love it! It is super simple and straight forward to use.
I used to use Evernote for everything - note taking, long writing, web clipping, storing PDFs - but at one point it became so buggy, especially text formatting and sync, that I switched to Notebooks as 90%+ of my notes are text. I can only recommend it, never had a problem. Still use EN for web clippings and PDFs. Drafts is another favourite. Not for note taking as I found the sync via Simperium to be abysmal - at least 30% of my notes got deleted before my eyes (for this reason I won't touch Simplenote - it uses the same sync service) - but it's great for composing text and sending it to email, Twitter and/or FB. It also integrates with Pocket, so you can convert an article into plain text and then send it to EN or Notebooks. For longer writing I'm currently between Notebooks and Nebulous Notes (only because I prefer to keep my notes separate from my writing). I don't see the appeal of Vesper at all as I need my notes to sync between my iPhone, Mac and iPad.
If you are looking for a note-taking, organizational tool that lets you capture your ideas anywhere and anytime, I highly recommend Intellinote. This app places more emphasis on collaboration among team members, which is something other apps lack. You can access all your notes and tasks from your mobile devices as well as from a desktop -and your information automatically gets synced. You can download it from the App Store for your iPhone/iPad or you can check out the Web Application here: http://intellinote.net/
I would like to add the App I created, Mindown, to the list:
It features notes inside notes, undelete, synchronization between iOS devices and much more!
looks interesting.....can you insert images into notes?
Hi Stephen, at this moment the notes are pure-text, but if the there's demand for more I will sure consider adding the capabilities. Try the iOS version, it's free, and see what you think. There is also a paid version for the Mac. Thanks!
I've been looking at Vesper now for about 2 months seeing if they'll ever add cloud integration or make the app universal. As it stands I find Day One to be a better app, since it has both of those features for the exact same price (although I got it when it was only 2 dollars). Vesper looks slightly better, but the feature set isn't worth the price.
Man o man Evernote runs my life and my work. Cannot survive without it - yes I've tried many others over time, but EN just does it for me. iPad, iPhone, web access - just love it.

Summer is finally here – vacation from school wise, of course. The weather, eh, not so much. But you know what, I'll take it! The crappy weather kind of gives me a reason to stay locked in the house and unpack my (what seems like) thousand boxes and bags. I do not know how one person can accumulate so much junk! Although, I do love rearranging my room and decorating, so I can't complain much.
This weekend I'll actually be headed right back down to Mount for the graduation ceremony! The only college graduation ceremony I've ever attended was Boston College class of 2001… yeah, I think Mount's ceremony is going to be a little bit different. I am excited to see what it will be like though — minus the fact that my boyfriend and a lot of my friends will be the ones leaving :[

By PETE IACOBELLIAP Sports Writer
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Jadeveon Clowney and Marcus Lattimore have talked since the football season ended, just not about injuries.
Yet that seems to be all everyone is talking about when it comes to the South Carolina duo. Lattimore, rehabbing from his horrific knee injury in hopes of being selected in the upcoming NFL draft, said recently that he and Clowney talk about "the future of playing the game," but they "haven't discussed what went wrong" when he was hurt.
Lattimore hasn't given Clowney any advice about his future, but says "he doesn't regret anything" when it comes to his Gamecocks career.
Because of Lattimore's injury, questions have been raised whether Clowney should skip this season, train on his own and protect a potential $22 million investment as the No. 1 pick in 2014.

Golden Chain Chinese Restaurant – I'm with you rvgunn! We love this place and go there at least once a week and have been regulars there for at least 15 years! Not fancy like that PF place ;) but the food is excellant!!
High Quality Meat?! – It's decent for Cincinnati Chinese food. If you're used to your Chinese in bite-sized pieces, look elsewhere. They serve huge chunks of chicken in their General Tso's combo. For lunch, you won't receive an egg roll (I thought I was getting one and they ended up charging me a $1.50 extra).
To me, it's same ol' same ol'...
best chinese food in cincinnati – although this restaurant appears to be nothing more than a hole in the wall, they have better chinese food than i have had anywhere else in cincinnati. chicken and beef is very high in quality. won ton soup and chicken fried rice are delicious.

Groups that market heavily via fax breathed a sigh of relief in mid-August when the Federal Communications Commission postponed until January 2005 hastily implemented and restrictive regulations regarding unsolicited fax transmissions. The regulations had been set to go into effect August 25.
Tucked into legislation that established the National Do-Not-Call registry, the FCC amendment would require associations and businesses to seek the signed written consent of any recipient before sending a commercial fax. Until now, the existence of an established business relationship was considered implicit permission to send such faxes.
The commission defined "commercial" as "any material advertising the commercial availability or quality of any property, goods, or services."
Jeffrey S. Tenenbaum, a partner with the Washington law firm of Venable, Baetjer, Howard & Civiletti, believes the rule would cover such items as membership applications and renewal forms, conference registration forms, responses to RFPs, hotel registration information, and more. Fines for violating the new regulations would range from $500 to $11,000 per fax.
Spearheading opposition to the new rules was the American Society of Association Executives, which rallied more than 1,400 organizations behind several petitions asking for clarification and postponement of the new rule.
ASAE argued that the fax regulations would significantly impede marketing strategies and basic communications between associations and their own members. That overwhelming reaction undoubtedly factored heavily into the FCC's decision to issue a stay of the new regulations.
The postponement is intended to give the FCC a chance to hear more discussion about the effects of the rule and to give organizations more time to solicit written approval from proposed fax recipients.
Businesses and associations now have ample time to establish a fax-permissions game plan, although ASAE is hoping the FCC will change its mind. "We have 16 months now, and we're fairly confident that we can get the language changed," says Chris Vest, an ASAE spokesperson. The association also launched a grassroots effort to make members of Congress aware of the rules and their impact on organizations.
In the meantime, "we're going to leave it up to our members to decide if they need to move forward with consent forms," Vest adds.
You can download a model consent form from the July 23 Town Hall Meeting section of ASAE's Web site, www.asaenet.org.

TERRIBLE BUSINESS! Beware! – If I could give this business a negative number, I would. Boy do I have something to say about Nelly's. I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone. I went here with my cousin for her wedding and we pruchased our bridesmaids dresses here as well. First and foremost, the selection is limited to begin with. Secondly, we placed our order, paid in full, and then weeks later nelly told us that the tops we orderded didn't exist in our colors. (Would have been nice to know before.) So we had to select something else (never having tried it on) and hope for the best. When we were there, Nelly recommended that we order our bridesmaids outfits two sizes larger than normal because "that designer tends to be small." Low and behold, when they came in a few weeks before the wedding, they were all HUGE! At least three sizes too big. When I personally toook mine, and my sisters, to have them altered, the cost of the alterations to have the dresses look somewhat decent cost more than the dresses themselves. Over $160! When we contacted Nelly's to see what they could do for us, they offerred nothing to compensate us, and by then it was too late to re-order smaller sizes. Lastly, and most obnoxious, Nelly NEVER called back my cousin (the bride) to discuss the situation. (By the way, she has another full-time job.) My cousin spoke many times with the woman that works in the shop and she repeatedly assurred her that Nelly would call her back but NEVER did. I will never recommend this business to anyone.
Waste of Time! – I was completely disappointed by this shop. There is a particular brand of dresses that I am looking for and the designer?s website said that Nelly?s carried them. When I called to make an appointment the person I spoke with assured me that they did carry this designer. Well, guess what? This shop didn?t have the dresses I was looking for, didn?t even carry the designer?s line. All they have is a bunch of ugly, cheap dresses that your best friend would hate you forever if you put her in it. If you love your sister?s and friends, DO NOT GO HERE. Ugly Cheap Dresses.

New Guinness World Records Holder Maxi Moundsa a Florida lap dancer breasts Each Weigh 20 Lbs .
"What a neat name But Bertha Boobs has more ring to it !"
A stripper has broken the record for the worlds largest fake breasts thanks to a dangerous medical technique that is banned in Britain.
Maxi Moundss 36MM bust was accepted by Guinness World Records in a new World's Largest Augmented Breasts category, after years of lobbying by the entertainer.
Each of her breasts weighs 20 pounds and they are still growing, thanks to the controversial "polypropylene string" treatment that created them.
Unimpressed by the results of standard silicone implants, Ms Mounds had plastic string inserted into her breasts in 2000.
The implant irritates the breast, causing the release of body fluids that inflate the area still further.
The procedure which was only really popular among adult entertainers and sex workers has since been banned in Britain and the United States due to concerns about its safety.
Ms Mounds, who became a lap dancer in Florida in the 1990s and has since starred in several pornographic films, says she is used to her absurd proportions causing a stir.
"Ive seen some pretty funny things happen. Men walking into things and getting slapped by their girlfriends because they were staring too hard."
Ms Mounds, who lives in New York, says she approached the Guinness World Records after spotting a record for natural breast size. They initially turned her away, but a few years later got in contact.
"Then they asked me if I was interested as they were creating a category. Eventually they told me I won."
The official measuring taken in Florida in 2005 gave her a chest-over-nipple size of 60.5 in.

Republican U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen is cautiously backing a sweeping House Republican plan to overhaul the nation's tax laws.
Rolled out Wednesday, the proposal would end a number of popular tax breaks to help pay for lower overall tax rates.
Paulsen is Minnesota's lone member of Congress on the Ways and Means Committee, the Republican-led House of Representatives' tax-writing panel.
"No plan is perfect. But, it's time to end the status quo and fix a broken tax code … that is too costly, too complex, and takes too much time to comply with," Paulsen said in a statement. "We need a tax code that promotes savings, investment, achievement, innovation, and hard work. This draft proposal provides real solutions to create a healthy economy."
Ways and Means Committee chair Dave Camp's plan would drop the top income tax rate from 39.6 percent to 25 percent and would reduce the number of income tax brackets from seven to two.
The plan would eliminate or reduce popular tax breaks for medical expenses, moving expenses, child care and energy-efficient homes, along with slashing the mortgage interest deduction for homes worth a half-million dollars or more.
In exchange, the plan would increase the child tax credit would and consolidate a number of tax breaks for education expenses.
U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison panned the plan, arguing that it does little to address the nation's income inequality.
Ellison said tax reform should "stop government spending that only benefits the wealthy and increase spending that supports working families, the poor and seniors."
The proposal "hurts working people and their families, and expands loopholes that big companies already use to avoid paying taxes. It puts a greater burden on individual taxpayers and helps profitable corporations pay even less back to the country that made their profits possible," Ellison said in a statement.
The issue is likely to stall in Congress in this midterm election year.
Republican U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen is urging President Obama to visit a medical technology company during his trip to the Twin Cities on Wednesday.
Paulsen wrote to the president over the weekend, asking for help to repeal the Affordable Care Act's tax on medical devices.
Money raised from the 2.3 percent excise tax is intended to fund expanded health care coverage for upwards of 30 million Americans under President Obama's health care law.
But Paulsen has called the tax, which began in January 2013, a "tax on innovation."
Minnesota is home to hundreds of medical device companies that employ more than 30,000 people.
Last week, the medical device industry's major trade group, the Advanced Medical Technology Association, released a survey that says the tax cost the industry tens of thousands of job in 2013.
"This industry is an American success story, but it is being hit especially hard by the Medical Device Tax that passed as part of the Affordable Care Act," a portion of Paulsen's letter to the president reads. "With your support, we can repeal this onerous tax and protect jobs, expand high-tech manufacturing here at home, and create and provide more life-saving and life-changing technology to American patients."
In 2012, the Obama administration threatened to veto Paulsen's legislation, but congressional support for a repeal is growing.
Paulsen's bill has more than enough support to pass the Republican-led House, but Senate Democrats have thus far been unwilling to deal a blow to one of the president's signature legislative accomplishments.
Minnesota U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken, both Democrats, have urged their colleagues to repeal the tax. The state's entire House delegation also opposes the tax.
Here's a copy of Paulsen's letter:
Newly available campaign finance reports highlight the fundraising disparity in Minnesota's U.S. Senate race.
According to documents on the Federal Election Commission's website on Monday, Republican candidate Julianne Ortman raised $234,000 so far for her bid to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Al Franken and Republican candidate Jim Abeler raised $87,000.
Franken has raised more than $12.4 million for his re-election campaign and had nearly $5 million cash on hand. Republican candidate Mike McFadden raised $2.2 million and had $1.7 million left in the bank at the start of the year. Republican candidate Chris Dahlberg raised far less.
Franken, McFadden and Dahlberg released the summary information from their reports by January 31, back when reports were due to be filed federally.
At that time, neither Ortman or Abeler released details of their fundraising reports. Because Senate candidates do not file their reports electronically, it takes a while for them to be uploaded to the FEC website. Ortman said last week that she had "nearly a quarter of a million dollars in 2013."
House candidates file their reports electronically so their fundraising information is available online when the reports are filed.
See all the fundraising information released by Minnesota's federal candidates for office below.

Friday is Federal Election Commission deadline day when federal candidates and groups must file their fundraising figures for 2013.
Follow along as we update our chart below with the cash hauls reported the the campaign finance agency.

Seats at President Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night will be filled with the legislative priorities of the 113th Congress.
On a night when the president lays out his blueprint for the year, members of Congress often choose their guests to convey a message of their own: the person often symbolizes a policy or issue the lawmaker is promoting.
In Minnesota, those issues range from job training and fighting poverty to ending child sex trafficking and repealing President Obama's health care law.
Here's a member-by-member look at the guests of the state's congressional delegation:
U.S. Sen. Al Franken will host Erick Ajax, vice president and co-owner of E.J. Ajax and Sons, a Minneapolis-based metal-stamping company. Franken has introduced legislation that would create a multi-billion dollar grant program to fund partnerships between businesses and two-year colleges to fill job openings in high-demand fields.
Mayo Clinic CEO Dr. John Noseworthy will be U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar's guest. A supporter of Mayo's partnerships to help match students' skills with jobs, Klobuchar has introduced legislation that would fund 100 new science, technology, engineering and math-themed high schools and support scientific research.
Owatonna Mayor Tom Kuntz will be U.S. Rep. Tim Walz's guest. Walz and Kuntz released a joint statement this month calling for passage of transportation funding bills in both houses of Congress in 2014.
U.S. Rep. John Kline will host Keith Anderson, vice chairman of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community. The tribe is the largest employer in Scott County, which is part of Kline's district in the southern suburbs and exurbs of the Twin Cities.
U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen's guest for President Obama's State of the Union speech Tuesday will be Vednita Carter, founder and executive director of Breaking Free, a St. Paul-based organization that helps women escape prostitution. Paulsen, the author of two bills designed to combat child sex trafficking, wrote a letter to Obama this month, requesting that he address the issue during the speech.
U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum's guest will be Clarence Hightower, executive director of the Community Action Partnership of Ramsey and Washington Counties, an anti-poverty agency. This year, McCollum plans to push for more federal grant money to be distributed to not-for-profit agencies, such as the Community Action Partnership, to tackle poverty.
Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges will attend President Obama's State of the Union speech as the guest of U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison. The two are working on plans to close the achievement gap in the city's schools and radically reduce the amount of garbage the city sends to landfills, with the eventual goal of reaching "zero waste."
Dr. Julie Anderson, a family physician from St. Cloud, will be U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann's guest. A University of Minnesota Medical School graduate, Anderson has concerns about how the Affordable Care Act will affect her practice. Bachmann has been one of Congress' most vocal critics of the health care reform law.
U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson, who will not bring a guest, gave his pass to U.S. Rep. Rick Nolan, according to staff.
As a result, Nolan will have two guests – Carri Jones, chairwoman of the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, and Melanie Benjamin, executive director of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe. Nolan's northeastern Minnesota districts includes five of the six Minnesota Chippewa Tribe bands.

Going through my feeds, I came across this article about fantasy writer Peter Brett who wrote over 100,000 words of his epic novel, The Warded Man on an HP iPAQ 6515. I saw this initially on Crunchgear by the way. Can you imagine? I have a rough time tapping out a e-mail and could not imagine writing a entire book on an iPAQ.
The article is actually a interview with Brett, where he's asked about his experience and his opinion of the Amazon Kindle. He loves the Kindle and can see both sides of the Text To Speech feature, but he brings up something I have been thinking about for a while. That is the death of the publishing industry as we know it, and it's rebirth into the digital realm.
This touches close to home, as until recently my Mom worked for a company called Anderson News; they recently closed up shop and laid everyone off. Anderson was one of those companies who stocked the magazine racks at Walmart.
In conversations I have had with Mom since, I keep telling her that books will be going away thanks to the Kindle and other devices like it. Mom says no, and lists the complexities of the device and the fact you can't do things like read in the tub or near water. While those are things that certainly are true, the fact that paper is increasing in cost is going to drive traditional publishing houses to implement digital books or fail. It costs money to produce these books, and while it still isn't free to produce a digital book, it's much cheaper than a print book as you just have to complete one copy. After this is done, you can reproduce the book many times over with ease and at almost zero cost. The downside to this may be the author gets less money per copy sold.
No matter what happens, this is fundamentally going to change the publishing industry. Those that are successful will be the ones who make the change. Those that don't will fail.
So what do you think? Are newspapers, magazines and books heading out to pasture? Will books and newspapers who don't make the transition be around in 20 years?
