Subject: Question????
The first question we have here at our scranton office is what is wrong with you Athiest Assholes. We recently heard on the news about the bullshit your group started at the Luzerne County Courthouse. Our economy is hurting, the spirts of our citizens are weak for many reasons, and at this time of year, many, close to all people look towards tradition as a sign of good things around the holidays. In one, threatening blow, by threatening to sue Luzerne County for helping keep hope in their citizens, you have done nothing but demoralize the area, and make yourselves look like total Assholes and Athiests. Keep you religious beliefs to yourself. Bow down to your budah or raghead or dot head, or indian gas station god, or whatever you probable domestic terrorists bow down to, and keep out of others innocent business.
All those who can't stand your kind
Proof read and approved by a company office of over 100!
Yup, that's what it's all about, that story recounted in scripture---the star, the angel choir, the "raghead" shepherds---the babe, born to show the world the true nature of love. . .and there you have it, just how far we've come in two thousand plus years.

Iconic Underwater Images, Can you name them?
Posted 12 February 2013 - 06:10 AM
Iconic images are ones that have a cultural resonance and this depends on your culture, what you are exposed to, where you live. For example, in the US there is no surprise that iconic images tend to be ones from your National Geographic magazine. In the same way that in the UK, iconic TV usually comes from the BBC. And while Nat Geo magazine is sold all around the world, it has much less cultural resonance in the UK, as an example. I bet most members of BSoUP couldn't tell you what was the subject of the last UW feature in Nat Geo. I suspect most LAUPS members could.
However, as your talk is on the West Coast of the States, Steve, I suggest you bias towards what are likely to be the audiences' iconic images.
p.s. I am not so introspective about my photography (and like most photographers I am most excited by my latest work). To go back to Steve's graph, my aim (as is most photographers) is to to produce photos that end up as far up his line as possible. But exactly how much they end up resonating culturally is usually much more about where they get used (how widely they are seen) rather than any intrinsic artistic superiority. I guess I am saying you can't set out to produce an iconic image, you can simply aim to be as high up the graph as possible and then need factors beyond your control to give your photo the platform to make that last step.

Thanks Alex, I really appreciate you jumping in. If we forget the word iconic for a second do you folks believe that what we see as beautiful and awe inspiring is affected by where we live? I would have thought that in today's global environment where I can see what's on the BBC as easily as CNN. It would at least begin to level, especially with regard to underwater images. I would have said that truly beautiful, emotional images would be perceived the same the world over. I will have to think about it for a while.
Steve - From an intellectual perspective, this argument makes sense. But not everyone "feels" the same. Our emotions change based on many variables - and these are not constant with emotions - and they change over time. Our own experiences play a huge part in how we see (or feel about) an image. And just as Alex mentioned above, culture plays an important component in this as well.
And even though most of the photographers on here are "global" not everyone is. In answer to your question about where we live impacting how we see an image...I believe it is yes. How can it not?
So. ..for me, a part of this iconic image gallery might also be a component of why it is iconic from the viewers' perspective - not just the photographers'.

One way of thinking about the quality of any image might be in how many people it affects, for how long and how deeply.
Still thinking,

I am sure that there are underwater images with the potential to be iconic sitting on the hard drive of some photographer no of us know. Of course, in photography most of the avenues that allow an image to be widely seen are accessible to all - we can all submit to major magazines, newspapers and contests.
And, just as important, we should recognise that only a few images that are widely seen have the graphic/artistic/emotional qualities to become truly iconic. Which is the point you are making, Steve.
However, I do think that an image needs both the platform and the artisitic quality (to generate a strong emotional response) to become iconic.

Not to say the artistic part does not help, but some iconic images are not really special from this artistic standpoint, or when captured just a second later may be quite ordinary from an artistic standpoint. This is when capturing the moment trumps everything; many iconic images do this - images that come to mind are Eric Cheng's turtle image.

one of iconic images to consider would be Dr. Mustard "selfie" with curious sea lion on his shoulder. everytime i see it somewhere on the web generates a big smile on my face. interesting is that few purists would maybe find some objections to the image overall, but in my opinion image doesnt have to meet all photo criteria to be iconic

Demi Moore: The end of a hollywood dream
Is Demi Moore's heyday over, following her break-up from toyboy husband Ashton Kutcher? Julia Molony investigates her downfall from most bankable actress to desperate star and estranged mum.
HAPPY FAMILIES: Demi, Ashton, Bruce Willis and daughters Tallulah and RumerTHE BREAK-UP: Demi's split from Ashton|Kutcher has hit her hardBOMBED: Moore's role in flop StripteaseFor months now, the tabloids have been charting the decline of Demi Moore. The former queen of Tinseltown and indomitable on-screen siren has pitched into emotional freefall following the end of her marriage.
Ashton Kutcher, her trophy toyboy, who for years she paraded as a totem to her enduring sexual appeal and from who she split after rumours of him having an affair, in recent weeks seems to have started a relationship with 26-year-old actress Mila Kunis. Demi is said to be "hysterical" at the news.
It seems obvious to surmise that this represents a cruel assault on Demi's self-esteem. For any woman to lose the attentions of her partner to a younger model is eviscerating to the ego, but for one whose public identity has been built around her youthful sex appeal, it's nothing short of devastating.
For Demi, 49, this break-up means more than just a broken heart. As a sex symbol, her enduring professional relevance was demonstrated by her marriage to a younger man. For most Hollywood actresses, the sell-by date on their desirability is set around 35. But for years, Demi had gleefully and conspicuously flouted these limits.
It's fair to say that, from the very earliest days of her career, Demi's key strength was her appearance. It was something she enjoyed and exploited, and it carried her through an endless list of roles from her years at the centre of the 1980s bratpack, through to her 1990s heyday when she was the most bankable female star in Hollywood.
After Striptease tanked in 1996, she gradually fell out of favour with Hollywood, and was called on less and less for her services as a leading lady. But rather than slip into obscurity, Demi sustained her position by exploiting the explosion of a whole new adjunct industry that ran side by side with movies - celebrity culture. Thanks to reality TV, supermarket tabloids and Twitter, Demi realised she didn't have to wait for movie producers to come calling to keep her place in the A-list, she could take care of boosting her profile herself.
With her marriage to pretty-boy teen-idol Kutcher, Moore didn't just break the mould, she reinvented it. She did more than just reverse the classic trope of the rich powerful man married to a hot young female star, because the key to her appeal to Ashton wasn't her money or her influence, it was her hot body. She bagged him by successfully maintaining a patina of youth long after it should naturally have departed.
A pin-up well into her 40s, she played the 25-year-olds at their own game — and won. Each time her young husband (15 years her junior) tweeted a sexy snap of his super-buff wife, he reinforced her triumph. Meanwhile, she took every opportunity to underscore the carnality of their relationship. Speaking in one interview about how spending time together, she insisted they liked to share life's simple pleasures, such as "sharing a bath with one another and watching TV. Snuggling up naked".
In the past decade, Demi has pursued her goal of staying sexy with the rigour of an Olympic athlete. If there was a touch of desperation in her increasingly rigorous quest for eternal youth, it was easy to understand. Though she has denied going under the knife, surgery speculators have guessed that, thus far, she has racked up a list of procedures that include liposuction, a tummy tuck, repeated breast surgeries and a lift on her knees. But then, Demi learnt early on that desirability had immense value. Since her sensational debut as a 18-year-old erotic model on the cover of Oui magazine, she had come to understand that her sexual appeal was her ticket. It was force enough to lift her out of her dysfunctional childhood, out of poverty and abuse, and carry her into a life of almost unimaginable luxury.
Moore was born to a teen mother in New Mexico. In early life, she inhabited a world a million miles away from the one she knows now. Her home life was peripatetic and rootless. Though her parents were married, they did little to anchor the young Demi emotionally. Her home life was troubled and volatile. Both of her parents were heavy drinkers, and, it has been reported, could be violent.
When Demi was 15 she was further disassembled by the discovery that the man who had raised her was not her real father. Her mother and her father had split when Demi was a year old, and her mother had then swiftly remarried her previous boyfriend. The new union was not a happy one. According to the UK Biography Channel, her mother and step-father "often fought and beat each other".
In 1980, her stepfather committed suicide, and mental illness would continue to plague the family. Demi's mother, Virginia, died in 1998 from a brain tumour after several failed suicide attempts and unsuccessful stints in rehab. Until her death, the relationship between Virginia and Demi had remained difficult. Virginia had racked up a string of criminal charges, mostly relating to her alcoholism. She had also, with an alarming lack of decorum, posed for a porn magazine in a spread that capitalised on her daughter's fame, with a cover quote that read: "If my daughter Demi can take her clothes off, so can I."
Demi herself was just 18 when she married for the first time. Her first husband, the rock musician Freddy Moore, became aware of the profound psychic scars her troubled past had left: "I've never met a woman with a more obsessive need to be liked and loved," he has said. "She made me feel that, if I ever stopped loving her even for a single moment, she would kill herself. She was always plagued by jealousy and insecurity."
Whatever neediness kept her ambition burning, it was soon gratified by the external success and attention she craved. She got her first break in the American soap General Hospital. Then, after a run of schlock B-movies, she was cast opposite Michael Caine in Blame it on Rio. Demi started as she meant to go on, appearing topless in the movie and setting a precedent for a long line of roles that focused on her body as much as her talent. It was a formula that worked. By the time she appeared in Striptease, the 1996 flop, she was able to command $12.5m for the job, a record-breaking fee for a film actress.
But early in her career, her troubled inheritance had threatened to catch up with her. Having divorced Freddy Moore just as she hit the big time, she swiftly became part of the 1980s notorious bratpack, in which rehab was a rite of passage. Moore was no exception. By the time she married Bruce Willis in 1987, thus cementing her status as the queen of Tinseltown, she had already been treated for dependence on alcohol, after turning up to work drunk.
But marriage to Willis seemed initially to anchor Demi. As one part of a Hollywood power couple, and a globally adored sex symbol, she had the affirmation she'd been searching for — and it seemed a salve to those childhood wounds that had driven her in pursuit of fame.
In 1992 she famously appeared naked on the front cover of Vanity Fair while seven months' pregnant. The shot, taken by Annie Leibowitz, was to become a piece of Hollywood history, enshrining her as an icon. The provocative image was as far away as possible from the cosy contemporary concept of a yummy mummy. Demi's challenging sexuality is striking in it, and un-obscured by her enormous bump.
She and Bruce had three children — Rumer, Scout and Tallulah — and they had a good innings, by Hollywood standards, their marriage lasted 13 years, during which time they bought up most of an Idaho town
(it was the high-rolling 1990s) and converted it into a theme park of excess, a monument to their lavish lifestyles.
The couple divorced amicably in 1998 and Demi retreated from the public eye. She didn't really emerge again until the release of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, in which she was back to her best as silver-screen totty. By now, she was 40 and starting to feel the pinch of working in such an unforgiving industry.
"It's been a challenging few years, being the age I am," she said not long after, "with so much focus on how I look. It almost got to the point where I felt like, 'Well, they don't know what to do with me. I am flawed. I'm not 20. Not 30. But I'm certainly different from what most people feel someone in her 40s should be'."
Through her relationship with Ashton Kutcher, she gave a further two fingers to people's expectations. What at first looked like a mutually beneficial publicity stunt started to take shape as a real relationship.
By 2005, the pair had married, with the blessing of Bruce Willis, who was often photographed with the couple and was present at their wedding. The couple took to Twitter to flirt with each other, entertain their public and generally broadcast their love. In interviews, Demi gushed about having found her soulmate. They even talked about having children.
She must have known the incredible sleight of hand that she had been carrying off couldn't last for ever. And her hubris in thinking that she could beat the Hollywood system was brutally punished when rumour began circulating that Ashton had had his pants down in the company of a young woman almost half Demi's age.
Since she announced their split, Demi's dissolution has been dramatic. In January, she was rushed to hospital after suffering seizures at her home. She was discovered unconscious by her eldest daughter in the aftermath of a party at which Demi was allegedly inhaling nitrous oxide to get high.
Whatever substances she had taken, they were only part of her problem. When she arrived at hospital she was so thin that the medics on duty believed she was suffering from end-stage cancer.
In previous months, the press had painstakingly catalogued her changing physique as she lost more and more weight, and headlines speculated wildly about the state of her mind based on the shape of her body. Demi's distress was readable in her appearance. The body which had been so integral to Demi's feminine power had failed her, and now she was responding by starving herself.
The timing of her collapse was unfortunate, forcing her to step down from her first meaty movie role in years. She'd been cast as the feminist writer Gloria Steinem in a new biopic of porn star Linda Lovelace. The part, some have said, could have potentially offered her a chance to branch out professionally, to be recognised as an actor first and hottie second.
Recent rumours circulating on the internet have alleged that, in her despair, Demi has been reaching out to her daughters, inserting herself into their group of friends and leaning on them heavily. One online snitch suggested that the 49-year-old Demi had even been making romantic overtures to Zac Efron — a good friend of her daughters.
How much truth underlies this gossip is anyone's guess, but it does seem likely that the pressure of propping up an emotionally floundering mother is a lot for her children to bear. New — and even more damning — gossip emerged last week, suggesting that Rumer and Scout are running out of patience and considering taking out a restraining order against her.
"Demi has been calling them incessantly and emailing them, leaving them tearful messages and begging them to call her, and the girls are sick of it," a source told Radar Online.com.
Unsupported and emotionally unmoored once again, Demi has a huge challenge ahead of her in her quest for peace of mind. In some ways, her determination to challenge the showbiz status quo has been ground-breaking. But this was a battle she couldn't fight forever. Perhaps finally accepting defeat will be the first step to her rehabilitation.

PARIS, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov has invited Gerard Depardieu to move to the eastern European country now the actor confirms he is leaving France.
Depardieu reportedly has bought a house in Belgium and plans to seek citizenship there because of France's steep taxes.
Although the French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault publicly called the move "pathetic," Kadyrov said he is "ready to welcome the great artist" to his republic, Radio France Internationale reported.
France has a 75 percent tax rate for incomes more than 1 million euros ($1.3 million).
Depardieu, 63, defended his actions in an angry open letter to the prime minister published in the newspaper Journal du Dimanche.
"I'm leaving because you think success, creation, talent and anything different should be punished. I am sending you back my passport and social security, which I have never used," Depardieu wrote in the letter, adding the reasons behind his plan to leave France are "numerous and personal."
"I've no place to complain or to boast, but I refuse to be described as pathetic," he said.
The Wall Street Journal said Ayrault's office declined to comment on the letter.
Le Monde said Depardieu told friends Russian President Vladimir Putin had "already sent me a passport," but Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov later said the actor "most likely he was joking."
Depardieu is best known for his work in the films "Green Card" and "The Man in the Iron Mask." He plays a supporting role in the current release "Life of Pi."

NHIAA Div. III Football Championship: QB Phanor leads Portsmouth to titleBy MARK QUIRK
New Hampshire Union Leader
November 17. 2012 6:27PM
PORTSMOUTH - Donovan Phanor proved a couple of things on Saturday. One was that he is a talented football player, and the other was that he is poised under pressure.
After throwing an interception with his first pass of the game, the sophomore quarterback rebounded with a memorable performance.
He threw for 192 yards and two touchdowns while running for 178 yards and another two scores to lead the No. 3 Portsmouth High School football team to a 54-27 win over No. 4 Goffstown in the Division III championship at Tom Daubney Field.
"He is a competitor," Portsmouth coach Bill Murphy said. "He's been injured a little bit this year. He faced that adversity and it's something we kind of expect from him."
Phanor was one of five quarterbacks used by the Clippers during the season and on the biggest stage showed why he was their best option. He was elusive and powerful running the ball and showed good chemistry through the air with split end Colin MacDonald, with whom he hooked up with six times for 151 yards and two touchdowns.
"I was telling Colin the entire week 'I will break my body for you,'" Phanor said. "All those throws they were a little under thrown and he went up there and he got them."
The two that were for touchdowns went for 35 and 26 yards. The 35-yarder came with 7:04 left in the first half and gave the Clippers the lead for good at 20-14. The 26-yarder came with 18 seconds left in the third and made it 41-14.
It was the second straight title for Portsmouth, which finishes the season with a record of 8-2. It was the first championship game appearance for the Grizzlies, who end their season at 6-4.
"We fought hard, I'm proud of the way the kids played," Goffstown coach Justin Hufft said. "We just ran into a better football team today."
Goffstown held leads of 7-0 and 14-7 before Portsmouth scored on two straight possessions to take a 20-14 advantage, which it held at halftime. The Clippers then put the game away by scoring on their first five possessions of the second half.
After scoring just seven points in its semifinal win over Milford, the Portsmouth offense got it done both on the ground and through the air in the title game. More importantly, it responded quickly after Goffstown struck with a couple of big plays in the second half.
Three plays after Grizzlies quarterback Connor Benjamin scored to make it 41-20, Dillon Crosby scored for the Clippers. And just one play after a Peter Shea touchdown cut the Portsmouth lead to 48-27, S. Mikel Toar went 51 yards to round out the scoring with 6:27 left to play.
"We knew we could put up points," Portsmouth offensive lineman Ricky Holt said. "Coach (Russ) Russo challenged us in the locker room. He said 'I know our defense always does it, but lets do it on offense.'"
The defense also did a good job containing the high-powered Grizzlie offense to just 27 points after it put up 54 on top-seeded Souhegan a week earlier. A big reason for that was Portsmouth's ability to slow down Benjamin, who had some big plays but wasn't able to break the game open the way he did against the Sabers.
Benjamin finished with 143 yards on the ground and 150 through the air.
- - - - - - -
NOTES: The final numbers may not show it, but the Portsmouth High School football team's defense did its job against Goffstown quarterback Connor Benjamin.
Although Benjamin did get some big plays, he didn't get a state title and keeping that away from him was the ultimate goal of the Clippers, who claimed a 54-27 win over the Grizzlies in the Division III championship at Tom Daubney Field on Saturday.
"We did enough stopping him," Portsmouth defensive lineman Ricky Holt said. "We forced a couple of turnovers. He can run or throw it, we just did enough."
Benjamin hooked up with Ashton Florence for a 48-yard touchdown pass in the first half and rushed for a 55-yard score in the fourth quarter. He finished with 143 yards rushing and 150 yards passing, but that pales in comparison to what he did the week before in a 54-53 win over top-seeded Souhegan of Amherst.
The senior quarterback had 217 yards rushing and 309 yards passing against the Sabers. He was involved in 12 plays that went for more than 10 yards in the semifinals. The Clippers limited him to six.
"I've got some great coaches and they watch an awful lot of film," Portsmouth coach Bill Murphy said. "We tried to prepare as best we can and to a large extent we were able to control him."
Portsmouth prepared for the daunting task all week and did so by assigning a player to spy on Benjamin the entire game. That job went to senior linebacker Dillon Crosby, who said it wasn't easy trying to keep up with one of the best players in the state.
"I've got to give it to him, he's one of the best players I've ever played against," Crosby said. "We trained all week, me against him and I just went out there and played football."
More importantly than limiting the amount of big plays Benjamin was able to break was the fact the Clippers got him to turn the ball over three times, one fumble and two interceptions. Both interceptions came in the second half and each was followed up by a Portsmouth touchdown drive as it pulled away for its second straight championship.
Nathaniel McFarland made the first interception and Jake Becker followed it up one play later with a 23-yard touchdown run to make it 27-14 less than two minutes into the second half.

SUNRISE, Fla. -- It didn't have any of the tradition or pomp and circumstance of President Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday night in Washington, but Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren offered up his State of the Flyers this week.
Watching the Flyers' 3-2 victory over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night, it was hard to fathom that 9 out of the 20 players on the ice were not even members of the organization at this point last year. And that number does not include players like Marc-Andre Bourdon, Erik Gustafsson, and Ben Holmstrom, who were with the Phantoms.
All things considered - devastating injuries, scheduling quirks and new faces, as outlined in today's game story - Holmgren is pleased with what he's watched through the first half of the season.
"We've shown a real resiliency to bounce back and hang in through a lot of tough situations that the team has dealt with," Holmgren said. "Moving forward, we know we need to get better in a lot of areas. But overall, we're certainly okay with where we're at."
The Flyers (29-14-5) are just 3 points back of the Eastern Conference-leading Rangers and are actually on pace to top last year's total of 106 points.
In the big picture, few see a team other than the Rangers, Bruins or Flyers representing the East in June's Stanley Cup final.
Since they've lost captain Chris Pronger for the foreseeable future, the only real knock on the Flyers is their lack of defensive depth. Only one team (Boston) has scored more goals than the Flyers. Their goaltending can be better but has been adequate. And they've got the intangibles to make a deep a run.
Holmgren lauded Bourdon and Gustafsson for helping keep the team afloat without a noticeable drop-off on defense.
As things stand, Holmgren said he doesn't have a burning need to make a trade for more defense. But that could change. Holmgren does not deny that the Flyers have perused the market recently, as the Feb. 27 trade deadline is now rapidly approaching 33 days from now.
"I think we still have 4 guys who can play a lot of minutes in all situations," Holmgren said. "I think the 2 young kids that we've got playing have held their own. So, I don't feel it's something we have to do.
"I don't think we're any different than a lot of team right now. We're looking around to see what's available. And if there's something out there that makes sense, both now and for the future, we would look at that. But I like the way our kids have played. I think that was a real good experience for them [on Sunday], playing against the Stanley Cup champions, and they both fared OK."
On Tuesday night, Peter Laviolette gave most of the credit to Holmgren and his scouting staff, for putting the team in a position to win nightly with a cast of players who don't have the big names that they replaced in the lineup, like Jeff Carter and Mike Richards.
With perhaps the boldest moves in the league, on par with Florida's Dale Tallon, you could certainly make a case for Holmgren as the NHL's GM of the Year.
Looking toward the second half of the season, Holmgren said his feeling now is the same as it was last year, when the Flyers carried the league's best record into the All-Star break. And that's saying something, given their tumultuous summer makeover.
"I don't feel any different than I have the last number of years," Holmgren said. "If you get into the playoffs, anything can happen. That's where we are now, just trying to get in the playoffs."

The Allman Brothers Band will open their 2012 Beacon Theatre run tonight in New York City. On Wednesday, we spoke with Warren Haynes shortly after he wrapped up rehearsal with the group. Haynes offered some thoughts on what is to come this year at the venue. SPOILER ALERT: while Warren offered only a few details, some of them are quite exciting. If you'd prefer to experience it all live in the moment, hold off on reading the conversation below.
Beyond the Beacon, Haynes has had quite an amazing few weeks, performing with both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards (on separate occasions), as well as rejoining Phil Lesh and Friends, Rambling in place of Levon Helm and working with Gov't Mule on a new studio album. For his take on all of these events (as well as his thought on the forthcoming DVD with the Warren Haynes Band), stop by Relix.com for that portion of the interview.
For now, we offer Haynes on the Allman Brothers Band's Beacon Theater shows…
In terms of an ABB rehearsal, I know that our readers would love some insight, a window into what it's like. How regimented is it? Do you work through entire songs, do you focus on passages that people want to rearrange or revisit?
Well, since this is going to appear on Friday, I guess saying it on the day of the first show is not such a big deal…we're going to be doing an acoustic set this year at the beginning of the second set. It's the first time in over a decade that we've done an acoustic set. As of now we're planning on opening every second set with a few acoustic numbers, which is going to be really fun and challenging. We've been spending a lot of time rehearsing that stuff—coming up with songs we've never performed before and taking songs that we have performed before and turning them into acoustic versions.
As far as the electric stuff, anything that someone feels like we should go over that we might play, we'll go through it but especially things that are going to change. We're doing some songs we've never done before. We're doing some segues and sandwiches we've never done before. We're bringing back some instrumentals we haven't done in a while.
It's really just about trying to make sure every year is a little bit different and, especially since we do so many nights, that we repeat as little as possible. So, we're preparing a lot of stuff for this acoustic set but we're also working on situations where a song may go into a jam that it's never gone into before. But for a lot of the songs, it's good to go through them to regain everybody's confidence on how they go. Even some of the ones that we play a lot, it's nice to play them at least once and see if everything feels right and if there's anything we want to change. Sometimes somebody will get an idea for a song we've been playing in a certain arrangement for a long time and may say, "Hey, why don't we change this? Why don't we add something to it, or subtract something from it, or put a new jam in the middle, or go into another song and go back into this song?" So those sorts of things always get brought up at rehearsal.
I'm sure most of our readers would prefer those new songs to be surprises but in terms of a standard that someone in the band wants to revisit and rearrange, it would be fascinating to hear about that from the inside out. Can you share an example?
As an example, the song "Rocking Horse," that gets played by Gov't Mule and by the Allman Brothers is a completely different arrangement from one to the other. And in the last couple of years we've changed "Rocking Horse" to where it goes into a 6/8 jam in a major key that was never in there before. It's almost going to a whole other song in the middle of the song and then back to 4/4 and then back to the theme. Those sort of things get brought up.
There's something cool we're going to do in the middle of "Hot 'Lanta" this year that's never been done. The same arrangement of "Hot 'Lanta" has been played the same since 1970. And now we've decided, "Let's open it up and stretch it out a little bit and maybe even lead to another song in the middle." So, that'll be a nice surprise. We'll do that with a few songs—we'll start one song, then segue way into another song and then back into the original song, or in some cases not go back into the original song. In some cases it'll be different on a nightly basis.
As for the precipitating factor that led to the acoustic set, how did that come about?
Derek [Trucks] and I have been talking about it a lot. Over the last couple years Derek and I have done stuff like, "Preachin' Blues," which is a Son House song, with just the two of us. And there are a few things we'd pull out, like "Old Friend," which I wrote and was on the Hittin' The Note record. The last show in Boston at the Orpheum [12/2/11] the two of us did "Working Class Hero," the John Lennon song. And people really liked it.
So we started talking about some of the stuff that's fun to do acoustically and have the dynamic change. Then I started talking to Gregg and everybody about how it would be different and everybody jumped on the idea in that we haven't done that in over ten years and it would be nice to bring it back. In the past week or so we've been spending a lot of time thinking about it, working on it and figuring out what songs we can do at rehearsal. It feels great.

ORANGE COUNTY – It's a case of musical chairs for our local state leaders. Now that Valerie Foushee has been appointed to fill Ellie Kinnaird's vacant Senate seat, the process to find a new representative for N.C. House District 50 has begun.
Matt Hughes, Chair of the Orange County Democratic Party, explains that "three or four people" have contacted him, expressing interest in the House seat, which covers parts of rural Orange and Durham Counties.
Registered Democrats living in the district who are over the age of 21 are eligible.
"The folks who have approached me are still in their private deliberations. They are talking with friends, families, and supporters," Hughes says. "They are determining if going to the Legislature is something they'd like to do, and if so, if this is the seat that will allow them to go to Raleigh."
North Carolina Democratic Chair Randy Voller told WCHL's Elizabeth Friend Sunday that the process to fill the House District 50 seat will kick off as soon as Governor Pat McCrory officially names Foushee to the Senate.
Hughes says Chair of the 4th Congressional District, Ted Benson, will preside over a House of Representatives District Executive Committee to appoint someone to serve the remainder of Foushee's term. Graig Meyer and Phyllis Mack-Horton will be representing Orange County.
"The Sixth Congressional District is undergoing a leadership change at the moment, so it will fall into the lap of Fourth District Chair Ted Benson again to oversee this process," Hughes says.
Benson will moderate the meeting, as he did Sunday night when Foushee was appointed to the Senate seat, but he will not vote.
"I'm going to have a better sense of what all the moving parts are earlier on and a better sense of how to set it all up," Benson says.
Hughes says that the committee members' votes are based on population and that the numbers mirror the split that was used in the Senate District 23 appointment process: one vote for every 300 people residing in the county, which gave Orange County about two-thirds of the vote.
"Orange has a similar proportion of the votes in this House District Committee and actually the district is slightly more favorable [in number of votes] to Orange and the Senate district," Hughes says.
If you're interested in putting your name forward for Orange County or would like to know more about the process, contact Chair Matt Hughes at firstname.lastname@example.com, or 919-537-9568.
For Durham County, contact Chair Tracey Burns-Vann at email@example.com, or 919-627-1621.
To email the House District directly, email house firstname.lastname@example.com.

Artists at cons, help me help you. Stop pushing prints.
With con season in full swing, and Wondercon right around the corner, I would like to plead with comic book artists to get creative with their table merchandise. Too many tables only sell prints or original pages of art. While both of these art products are fine to have displayed for sale, they also present several problems to convention regulars.
1. Walls Have Limits
My walls are already covered with art prints from previous shows. There is only so much wall space I can use for art before I start hanging frames from the light switches. I'm no longer a child who can proudly have posters cover every single inch of my room. I'm a grown adult. I need a bit of space between my Iron Man and Hellboy art.
2. Wallets Have Limits
I get it. You are a popular artist. But $150+ for an original page of art, which has 5 panels of meaningless imagery (no characters in the panels) from a comic that was canceled due to lack of readers, is just stupid. I understand the writer needed you to draw a transition page, but unlike the writer, I have no need for that page. Pages of original art are too expensive. Don't artists know I need extra money to spend on problem #3?
3. What Frame Store Doesn't Carry 13" by 15"?
I have run into this problem more times than I like to admit. Too often have I bought a print from an artist I'm a huge fan of just to find out later that the print's dimensions are not common premade frame sizes. I end up having to wait several months for an Aaron Brother 60% off custom framing coupon just to be able to pay 3 times more for the frame than I did for the print. Yes, I'll take the gallery glass and quadruple matting…might as well at this point. I can't skimp when it comes to a picture of Howard the Duck playing cards with the Avengers.
Artists, learn to size your prints. We like your work. Some of us want to frame it. We don't all just buy prints from your portfolio jacket just to place it into our portfolio jacket.
4. My Name is Url
When I buy a print I always enjoy when the artist takes the time to sign the print. Coincidentally, I hate when the artist just says they are pre-signed. (Is it also pre-paid for? Sign it again, rookie biatch!) Point is…I want the artist's signature. Not often, but sometimes, the artist will have their website url on the print. This is the worst! The url will even by on the actually lower or upper portion of the imagery, not just in the white margin. "Thanks for the web address! Now I know where to go to request a print without a stupid web address on it."
Artists, I'm not saying I don't enjoy prints, or original art pieces; I just don't have a ton of money or space. I bought your comic, so I'm already low on cash. What I am looking for is something reasonable, something like:
1. A Bookmark
Some of us still read regular books. Plus, very often your graphic novels aren't great and we may need to step away from them for a while before we can capture the courage to finish reading a waste of $20…I mean… your graphic novel. It would be nice to have a cool bookmark (like the one I made below, using art by Dustin Nguyen) to save our place with. Bookmarks also make nice little gifts for children who are getting into reading. They're cheap to make and you can sell them for $1 or $2 dollars each. Oh, and I like my bookmarks like I like my dildos: double-sided.
2. A Small Sketchbook
I may be out of wall space, but since I sold all my comics and went digital, I have plenty of everywhere else space. I love when artists, especially popular artists, have a $5 to $25 sketch or commission book. Artists like Dustin Nguyen, Leinil Yu and Eric Canete have produced several fantastic small-sized art books that are easy to carry around for the day and don't break the bank. They are also great to give as gifts and perfect for showing off to the drunken art chick that comes up to your apartment after you finished your Culver City art walk. Dustin's Lil Gotham DC characters work every time.
3. A Capri Sun
Sure this has nothing to do with you (the artist) or your art, but remember, this is about me, the fan. I'd give a couple of bucks to puncture the bottom of a Capri Sun for a bit of cool refreshing energy. You're sitting behind a table all day, but I'm out here walking the floor. New artists may even want to give out drinks for free. My parents used to give cold sodas to the garbage men when they came by in the summer. I'm not saying you have to give me a free drink, but it would entice me to come by and maybe pick up some of your trash.
I look forward to seeing what artists have on display at Wondercon, this year. Hopefully, I'll be able to pick up a bookmark, sketch book or free cold beverage.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli police say they have arrested an ultra-Orthodox Jewish man for demanding women move to the back of a bus, sparking protests that saw bus windows smashed.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says Wednesday's incident occurred in the devoutly religious neighborhood of Beit Shemesh. He says ultra-Orthodox demonstrators in the neighborhood smashed the windows of three nearby buses while protesting the arrest. There were no injuries and no further arrests.
Ultra-Orthodox practice forbids men from touching women, except for their wives, and calls for separating the sexes in public. In recent years, however, hard-liners in the insular ultra-Orthodox community have tried to forcefully impose their will on others.
The ultra-Orthodox represent less than 10 percent of Israel's Jewish population, but they have tremendous influence in politics.

Confirmit yesterday launched its Channel and Trade Audit solution, whichempowers companies to understand their retail, channel, and trade marketing opportunities to drive growth.
The solution combines Confirmit's mobile applications, which power millions of surveys each year, with a strategic market-profiling methodology.
The Confirmit Channel and Trade Audit solution addresses the following six components of a channel and marketing strategy:
Early adopters of the Channel and Trade Audit solution include Heineken International, one of the world's largest brewing companies. To deepen its sales and marketing efficiency in Africa, Heineken needed to take a close look at the beverage landscape.
"Our move to a standardized, GPS-enabled program with Confirmit created a robust system for some of our research needs. Harnessing the power of GPS also allows us to visualize our research in a whole new manner," said Anthony Arnold, channel sales and distribution project manager at Heineken International, in a statement. "Reporting is essential to any mobile research project. We can now receive reports and manage research assignments remotely thanks to the online and real-time data capturing."
"In the competitive consumer goods market where margins are razor-thin, success hinges on a company's ability to secure real-time insights about its business, markets and competitors on an ongoing basis," said Sean Conry, Confirmit's vice pesident of mobile, in a statement. "The combination of our market-leading mobile technology with a solid, proven methodology is truly compelling."

The test font was larger and had expanded line spacing. This simple font change and line spacing increase reduced bounce rate by 10%, dropped the exit rate by 19%, increased pages per visit by 24%, and boosted the form conversion rate by 133%.
And all they did was change the font.
In this article, I want to show you some of the font techniques that could improve your conversion rates.
An eye-tracking study conducted by researchers from Google and IBM concluded that serif fonts had marginally better comprehension levels than san-serif fonts. Specifically, the font Georgia was rated as having higher comprehensibility than Verdana.
Should you switch all your fonts to Georgia?
Not necessarily. Comprehension is important, but it's not necessarily the most important thing on a web page. For example, there are some instances in which it might be better to shroud a user's comprehension than to sharpen it.
When To Use Serif Fonts To Improve ComprehensionLong-Form Landing Page body Content Lists Of Benefits Features
I would advise against using serif fonts in most headlines. Headlines are intended to make an impact, not necessarily to create comprehension.
To grab someone's attention offline, all you need to do is yell "STOP!" or "WHAT?!" or "#%$@!" This principle holds true for website headlines and landing page headlines, too — the goal is not necessarily comprehension, but attention grabbing .
Her family's constant encouragement, and how they supported her every career decision, made her move farther away from her home of Kaneohe in Oahu not only possible but also full of promise.
Because that first interaction with the culinary arts in high school birthed a curiosity in Swenson that never has waned. She describes being rapt by the methodologies of baking, how chemistry and creativity seamlessly came together, to produce the most delicious results. She also credits well-intentioned teachers who continuously prodded her professional interest.
After high school, she continued her education at Kapiolani Community College, where she landed a coveted spot on the Competition Team. Her chops in the kitchen and teachable nature stood out to one of the judges, and he offered her a job in his hotel, The Inn at Spanish Bay at Pebble Beach in Monterey, Calif.
After seven years in California, Swenson turned her sights to Chicago to work under the tutelage of enterprising pastry chef Dana Cree, a James Beard Award finalist, at Blackbird Restaurant. From there, in a series of fortuitous events – encompassing professional growth and newfound love – Swenson moved to Raleigh to work with Crawford at the new Standard Foods. She then moved with him when he opened Crawford and Son.
"When I decided to move to Raleigh and work for Chef Crawford, I also realized I was moving farther from Hawaii," Swenson said.
"My parents were incredibly supportive," Swenson said. "I would never have made it anywhere without them."
To have them come to Raleigh and see how far Swenson has come, literally and figuratively, made that pumpkin cheesecake all the more special.
The creation underscores the effortlessness that comes when you create a showstopper of a dessert designed to please the people you love best in this world. All the elements work together, including a measured seductiveness coming from the smoked pecans, which is balanced by the crème fraîche.
Of all the dishes her family sampled at Crawford and Son, the pumpkin cheesecake emerged the victor.
"My parents crushed it," Swenson said.
After Crawford sampled the dessert, there was no disputing its place on menu.
For in a cheesecake – one that could be replicated in any home kitchen – the diner not only gets an inspired taste of the season, but a front-row experience to how a close-knit family from Hawaii is brought even closer.

I am experienced with all ages from 5 - adult and have been teaching lessons for many years. I began as a volunteer in High School and built a larger private base of students while in college. I have played lead guitarist/singer/songwriter roles in several rock bands, including my current rock band The Rift, as well as participated in award winning ensembles of all varieties (Jazz Bands, Wind Symphonies, Marching Band, Symphonic Band). Despite a background rich in performance, teaching is my foremost skill and profession. In addition to lessons, I've taught in the classroom setting and at summer camps. I was the first Popular Music and Jazz Major to g
*** Lesson Details ***
I maintain a fun, understanding, patient, and straightforward approach to help you play what you want, while building essential techniques and skills using music of your choosing. In younger students this often perpetuates enthusiasm and develops taste. I also tutor music theory, composition, and/or songwriting, and upon request, will bring those skill sets into the lesson curriculum. I prefer to come to you, but am willing to host and have before. I will produce additional references and a resume upon request. If you commit to practicing and your lesson curriculum, you can expect noticeable improvement and a solid base of knowledge and essential skills, achieved through the music you love.

Upright piano; Fender Hot Rod 40W Tube Amp; Acoustic 15 W Solid State; Yamaha USB compatible keyboard; 5.1 surround sound with 40" monitor; Mac Mini; Multiple electric and acoustic guitars; USB Condenser Mic, Garageband and Logic Studio; Intel iMac; Buffet Tenor Saxophone, Yamaha Y-62 Alto Saxophone, Bundy II Alto Saxophone for rent
*** Travel Equipment ***
I have my own instrument, tuner, cables, etc. I generally expect my students to provide their own instrument, and be willing to purchase a few basic materials (book for lesson entries, one other instructional book). I'm a minimalist when it comes to this. I am always willing to consult on instruments, materials, or anything other query's you may have outside lessons, via phone or e-mail.
*** Specialties ***
As per my degree, I am especially knowledgeable regarding popular music, rock and roll, and jazz. I hold student recitals every year and I've had many students perform, as well as write their own music and gain a solid knowledge of beginner music theory. My education and experience have been comprehensive, and I am versatile within all genres of music.

My name is Mena. I have a strong background in math with a degree in Actuarial science and have been tutoring the SAT, ACT, Algebra 1&2, and Geometry for over four years. I have extensive knowledge of the testing strategies needed to make the exam fun and easy. I work with students to find areas that need strengthening then work patiently with them to hone their skills. Successful test preparation is largely about demystifying the test through time spent learning the correct approach which I have years of experience doing, with that confidence students can achieve any score they set their minds to.
About mena
I create a relaxed environment for my students in order to make the work stress free and enjoyable. My goal is to make the coursework fun for the student by finding an approach to learning that works best based on their unique characteristics. Being able to empathize with students in order to understand where their challenges lie and patient in helping them overcome those hurdles is where I excel. By exploring different approaches to difficult concepts I break them into manageable pieces that fit with each students prior experience which make learning approachable rather than overwhelming. Behind every concept we have yet to master there is a myth in our mind about
I have tutored dozens of students in the SAT and ACT and have helped them all increase their scores with most increasing their SAT score at least 100 points and some by over 400 points and on the ACT most by over 8 points and some by over 15 points. These are very difficult tests designed to be difficult to improve on. All of my students who gave themselves plenty of time to prepare and followed through on their promise to work on their own have seen significant score improvements.I have also worked with numerous students on developing study skills; helping them find the fun in school as well as helping with their organization skills and approach to homework.

It's a new name but the same mission for a Northland-based nonprofit organization that seeks to help veterans find jobs.
It's a new name but the same mission for a Northland-based nonprofit organization that seeks to help veterans find jobs.
"We picked up the pieces and moved on," Len Proper, executive director of the Military Veterans Resource Center, 1395 E. Dublin-Granville Road, said last week.
There was plenty to pick up and move on from under the old name of AMVETS Career Center after Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced in April 2013 that an investigation by his office uncovered "the misappropriation of millions in charitable funds held by the three AMVETS organizations for the benefit of unemployed veterans, veterans in need of career training, ROTC programs, veterans scholarships, veterans hospitals and homeless veterans," a statement released at the time said.
The investigation found that money raised by AMVETS Career Center for 59 satellite operations around the state was being used at these outposts for purposes other than helping servicemen and -women find jobs.
Columbus City Councilman Hearcel F. Craig was among those asked to serve on the board in the wake of the scandal.
The Military Veterans Resource Center has since split off as an independent nonprofit organization, Proper said.
The goal of finding work for veterans remains the same, he added.
"What has changed is our process for doing it," Proper said. "We've become much more personal, so what we do now is assign what the military refers to as a 'battle buddy.' "
That job counselor will remain with the individual veteran until he or she finds employment, Proper added.
"Our goal is to help those who have faithfully served our nation find gainful employment," he said in a prepared statement. "We believe the best way to do this is by providing services that fit each individual's career needs."
This includes helping veterans overcome physical injuries, mental-health problems, transportation barriers and other obstacles that make it difficult for them to translate their military skills and experience into the civilian workforce, he said in an interview.
Career specialists operate out of six resource centers throughout the state, including the headquarters in Columbus, Chillicothe, Findlay, Dayton, Hamilton and Springfield.
"We go where the veterans are," Proper said.
The specialists offer career assessment, licensing and certification assistance, resume-writing help, interview coaching, job placement, professional clothing services, skills training and more, according to the announcement from the now-independent organization.
"We try to help employers understand just what a veteran brings," Proper said.
That's not always easy for a civilian to discern, especially from someone who "speaks military, writes military, acts military," he added.
"We try to help them relax a little bit ... so that when they get an interview, they act like a human being," Proper said.
The success of the new, more individualized approach has been "outstanding," he said.
"We've been real successful in helping these veterans put their lives together, get them back on track and into the workforce," Proper said. "Now we have employers calling us all the time. It speaks to the commitment on their part but also speaks to the quality of the veteran coming home and their preparation. It seems to be working very, very well. We see a lot of employers now who seem very happy to hire veterans.
"We're grateful that we're able to survive, grateful we could keep our funding and bring in some new people who can help our veterans. We're off and running."

How do I backup Accordance?
Posted 21 May 2012 - 01:12 PM
I purchased a MAC to run Accordance a while back...I have connected a external drive via USB and the OS can be backed up...but I cannot seem to manually copy files to the drive...Also, I am not sure what directory to copy to backup for my Accordance software....I am not sure I can get it to work with the external drive but I could try and use a USB memory stick which does show up in Finder...I have purchased "MAC for dummies" but it seems to say I need to buy something to be able to backup user files....I am primarily a Windows user...so any help would be appreciated...
Thank you,
Posted 21 May 2012 - 02:25 PM
The only way that they wouldn't be backed up is if you specifically tell Time Machine not to back them up.
You should have a icon in your menu bar for Time Machine. From there you can get to the preferences for Time Machine. If you have no icon, go to System Preferences (the "apple" in the top left of the menu bar) and find the Time Machine preferences there.

What Mac OS are you running? Click on the "apple" and then "About this Mac"?
What model and make of external drive did you get?
Did you reformat and erase the external drive before trying Time Machine? (Hint: it helps if you do).
Posted 21 May 2012 - 03:01 PM
Thanks for your reply...I have used time machine...but it wants me to buy an upgrade...I have tried multiple times to set things up..I get errors that Time machine cannot backup (I don't keep the external drive connected except for backups...I now use the software that comes with my external hard drive and it does not seem to back up non-OS files.......so I am not sure Accordance is backed up or my Itunes stuff like podcasts...my MAC is dedicated to Accordance and training DVDs...so what can I do?
Thanks Frank
You should not have to purchase anything additional to use Time Machine. I do recommend keeping a drive connected for Time Machine, it really is the easiest route to accomplish this.
However, the files you'll want to backup are Preferences and Accordance Files.
Preferences are stored in: User/Library/Preferences/Accordance Preferences. Note, Lion now hides the Library folder. In Finder select Go > Go to Folder…, then type in ~/Library to access it (assuming you want the User Library).
Accordance Files located at: User/Documents/Accordance Files
But, I would stress again that for a beginner Time Machine is the easiest route. If you lose files or they become corrupt it is very easy to restore them.

Find out how much room your OS & stuff are taking up on your HD by opening a Finder window (click on the desktop so you're in Finder, and hit Cmd-N). The bottom of the window gives you how much of your HD is available.
If you can't remember your HD capacity, go the the Apple in the upper left corner of the Menu Bar. Click "About this Mac" in the drop-down menu, then "More Info..." then "System Report." Find "Serial-ATA" in the left column. Clicking this will give you all the info on your HD - capacity, make and model, etc.
When your TimeMachine HD starts getting full, I think TimeMachine will start deleting the oldest backups but will ask/tell you first. The first full back-up takes some time, but the rest are incremental and go pretty quickly.
I leave my TimeMachine back-up plugged in when my laptop is on my desk connected to an external monitor (it's my main machine). I also have a second TimeMachine back-up in a safe place where it would be more protected from fire & theft. I use one for a while, then the other. I like the OWC On-The-Go-Pro external drive (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/on-the-go). It's operation is nearly silent and it only need to be plugged into your laptop.
My husband does the same with his desktop (his main machine), but uses a "toaster" (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/NewerTech/Voyager/Hard_Drive_Dock) and a "naked" 3.5" SATA. That's a cheaper way to go, but it's noisy and the alternate drive takes up more storage space.
By the way, I don't work for OWC, but we have been buying from them for more than two decades and have yet to get any faulty stuff.
