If you have thinning hair, we have one question for you
Have you tried Toppik? Toppik is a safe, natural and undetectable way to improve the appearance of thinning hair without harmful drugs, chemicals or surgery. Toppik Hair Building Fibers are made from pure organic Keratin Protein the same protein found in human hair. These tiny microfiber hairs are electro-statically charged to form a magnetic attraction with your existing hair - however thin - and blend perfectly to conceal the appearance of thinning and balding in seconds. With eight, color-matched fiber choices available, you can conceal thinning hair on any natural hair color from snow white to jet black and every shade in between. A few shakes of Toppik above your thinning areas will disperse thousands of tiny hair-like fibers that will match your existing hair color, and bond with your own hair to conceal thinning and create a more natural looking, thicker, fuller head of hair. The secure bond stays put all day (and night) even in rain, wind, you name it - it wont come off until you wash it out. Safe, secure and undetectable as close as two inches away
now thats a solution we like!
4 Sizes Available Giant A 150 day supply. Conceal thinning hair for approximately 5 months with the Giant size. This is the must-have size for those of you who cannot live a day without your Toppik. Its also the best value, and our best-selling, most popular size.
Economy A 75 day supply. Conceal thinning hair for approximately 2 ½ months with the Economy size.
Regular A 30 day supply. Conceal thinning hair for approximately 1 month with the Regular size.
Travel This smaller size is ideal for taking your full head of hair with you when you travel. Great for on-the-go touch ups too at work, in the car, your purse, gym bag, briefcase... Its also a great way to try Toppik if you are new to the brand.

Directions on Usage:
Using the custom container, simply shake Toppik over your thin areas. The organic keratin protein fibers will naturally intertwine with your own hair to make it look thick and full in less than 30 seconds. Toppik will never embarrass you. Toppik fibers look natural and cannot be detected no matter how close you look. They will never run, smear or stain, and are proven to withstand wind, rain, and even perspiration. They will stay in place all day and night until you shampoo them out.
Toppik Step-by-Step Application:
Towel or blow-dry your hair, or allow it to air-dry completely. Toppik should be used only on dry hair.
Hold the Toppik container 2-3 inches above the areas to be thickened. For targeting small spots, you may bring the container closer to the thinning area.
Shake Toppik liberally over desired areas with the bottle opening facing completely downward. Dont worry about any fibers falling into surrounding hair, they will simply disappear.
If you cannot see the back of your head area during application, use your hand to guide you to the thinning areas. If necessary, apply Toppik with your head down, and look in the mirror afterwards. Fill in further as needed. You will soon learn to apply Toppik effectively with only an occasional glance at the mirror or with no mirror at all.
In frontal areas, spread your thumb and forefinger and place your hand on the top of the forehead below the hairline to keep stray fibers from falling onto forehead and eyes. For the best application on frontal areas we suggest using Toppik Hairline Optimizer.
Pat your hair to disperse Toppik fibers throughout the area. Use a soft brush or a comb to style your hair as you wish. You will notice that your hair is much easier to style with the added bulk of the Toppik fibers.
If coverage is not complete, add more Toppik and pat or brush until your hair looks thick and full.
f coverage is not complete, add more Toppik and pat or brush until your hair looks thick and full.
For best results, lightly apply Toppik FiberHold Spray to lock the fibers into place and to provide
added durability and a finished touch.
Close the container and store away from moisture when not in use.
Are your bald spots showing?
Say goodbye to the sweep and the comb-over! If you are experiencing thinning hair and are looking for a natural, simple solution, give Toppik a try. Its safe and easy to use, and its a great non-surgical alternative. The Travel Size is the perfect way to try the product for a few days - youll see a natural, thicker looking head of hair (without chemicals!) in seconds and youll never have to worry about detection.

Maybe I'm the only one who missed out on these machinations over the last few weeks, but it was news to me that in July, the Senate voted not to fund the construction of a fence at the Mexican border–after having voted to build such a fence in May. That reversal turned out to be highly unpopular with the Senators' constituents, and yesterday the Senate voted 94-3, with no fewer than 66 members changing their votes, to appropriate nearly $2 billion for fence construction:
"I think people wanted to get right," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, Alabama Republican. "People heard from their constituents after they voted to authorize the fence in May and then voted against funding it a couple of weeks ago."
This episode shows, I think, two things: one, how committed most of the political establishment is to "comprehensive immigration reform" that doesn't necessarily involve much in the way of border enforcement; and, two, how committed the American people are to an "enforcement first" approach to immigration reform.

Repeat after me: It's only the preseason. It's only the preseason. It's only the preseason.
There. That should give some solace about the fact the Dolphins are so far pretty bad this preseason. If you remember that preseason greatness does not necessarily translate to regular-season greatness and preseason struggles don't always continue in the regular-season, that should get your through the next couple of weeks.
A team's won-loss record is irrelevant to, well, everything. Poor teams with outstanding reserves, guys that either won't be on the team or won't play a lot in the regular-season, often win in the preseason. Good teams that rest their stars often lose in the preseason. Young teams, regardless of how loaded they prove themselves to be, often lose in the preseason. Teams with new offensive and defensive systems often struggle in the preseason as they get comfortable with the schemes.
Feel better?
Well, let me balance that surge of optimism. The preseason is a good indicator about where a team is at that point in time It can be an accurate snapshot in time of individuals and personnel groupings.
It can tell you how far young players have come and how far they must yet go. It can tell you if there is visible improvement week to week.
So forget that Miami is 0-2 this preseason. But do not dismiss the idea that there are problems that are showing up consistently.
One of those issues for the entire team is there have been no consistent playmakers among the starters. None. Not on offense or defense.
Defense, in particular, has been troubling because aside from the fact big plays have been missing, I've seen a lot of missed tackles and the team isn't winning on third down.
"We haven't stopped anybody," Joe Philbin said after the most recent Carolina loss. "We haven't tackled real well, we haven't gotten off the field on third down. We haven't gotten a good pass rush. I mean, I guess I better stop there."
By the way, the Dolphins have blitzed in the preseason, at least last week. But there can be more pass-rush generated by blitzes in the regular season. That's good. This isn't: Any team that must create its pass-rush with blitzes exposes itself eventually in the back end to big plays. The gamble can be worth it if there are stars in the secondary, but if there are not, that can be trouble.
I also look for invididual young starting players' abilities early in the season.
Said another way, it is unlikely that right tackle Jonathan Martin, for example, will struggle in the preseason (as he has) and suddenly become dominant in the regular-season opener. Or by the second game. Or perhaps by the third game.
It takes a while for players to grow. And the regular-season typically is tougher on young players initially than the preseason. They are often ill-prepared to deliver that higher gear that the regular-season requires, at least initially.
And so if you think Martin will suddenly become a fortress in time to face the Houston Texans, I'd say dial back on the expectations.
Similarly, the preseason does offer an important snapshot of what one can expect from certain positiions on the team. This preseason, for example, has pulled back the curtain on how troubled the Dolphins are at wide receiver and tight end.
The receivers who are having trouble separating from defenders in the preseason, will not suddenly be able to do it in the regular season. It simply will not happen. Players that are dropping passes in the preseason don't suddenly start catching them in the regular season.
(An aside: You'll notice Miami's wide receiver issues is generally not about dropping passes. This group typically catches the passes thrown, with a couple of notable exceptions. But the greater and more concerning problem to me is these guys don't really get open quickly and consistently. They either don't separate or don't find soft spots in the zone to sit down. I don't know what it is because I am not a coach and don't pretend to be one, but something is obviously lacking.)
I'm also concerned about Miami's tight ends. Anthony Fasano is the starter and that's fine. He is typically a C+ to B- player, depending on the game. He's a good blocker. He is a good enough receiver. But he doesn't worry a defense down the seam. He isn't a player the opposing defensive coordinator worries too much about. He's not part of the problem. But unfortunately, in most games, he's not the solution.
That is why the Dolphins drafted Charles Clay last year and Michael Egnew this year. Unfortunately, Egnew has had a terrible first NFL camp. He's not ready and he doesn't look to be getting better results as the weeks have progressed. He's obviously putting a lot of pressure on himself.
Clay has the potential to be a threat in the red zone and down the seam. But he's inconsistent as heck. He has one great practice and then disappears. He has one good preseason game and then disappears the next. Clay is very inconsistent so far. It was that way last year and it remains that way now.
And until one of these two or someone else added to the roster gets it and delivers some help, the Miami struggles in the red zone and down the middle of the field will continue to plague the offense.
Of course, things can still change. Remember? This is only preseason.

James Yorkston | 01/01/70
James Yorkston was the first member of the Fence Collective to emerge from the creative oddity that is the East Neuk of Fife. His first solo show was supporting Bert Jansch, his first tour was supporting John Martyn. After those heady heights he went on to sign to Domino and record his debut album in a damp soaked cottage in the Scottish Borders. Domino subsequently released this record, Moving Up Country, which went on to become Rough Trade's Album of The Year 2002.
James was invited to play a John Peel Radio 1 session in 2003 (included here on the second disc) and was labelled 'the finest songwriter of his generation'. He has gone on to forge a career as one of Scotland's most respected songwriters, releasing 5 further critically acclaimed albums.
This 10th Anniversary Edition of 'Moving Up Country', released on Monday the 23rd of April 2012, consists of two discs. Disc 1 features the original album, now with debut Domino single The Lang Toun; Disc 2 is a collection of 'Moving Up Country' demos, including never heard before demos and the aforementioned Peel session originally broadcast on Jan 2nd 2003. The double vinyl edition features all tracks from disc 1 with digital downloads of the bonus tracks. Download the demo of 'Moving Up Country, Roaring The Gospel' HERE.

I just came across this thread:
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-general&t=4050002&p=1&tmp=1#post4050002
in which Ordinn did confirm that server transfers are in the works.

Sure thing. Players will be able to transfers from realm to realm. We haven't finalized all the details yet, but players will not be allowed to change faction or class with existing characters. That's about all I can say until we get closer to going live with the tech.-Ordinn

I'm sure it will be a pay for service but this is good news for those that wish to move their characters over to join up with friends. Of course, it also has some downsides as well. It will make it much easier for troublemakers to change server to escape their bad reputations.
What do you think about server transfers?

It will be great for servers with many zergs and few hordes! Alliance players on such servers should think about taking all their guilds to other servers.
But I think many ppl won't transfer to not lose their friends on actual server.
And of course, the transfer must be free!

I highly doubt the transfers will be free. I would expect that it would run the typical $50 or so to transfer.

Oh thank you, I am willing to pay to get off my current server. I'm tired of the arrogant players Horde side that think they rule the server.

I don't think I like the idea, unless it's a realm shift from high pops to low pops on a limited basis as we currently have in place.
I *DO* like the idea for selfish reasons, but the downsides have a bigger impact then letting me bounce my characters around everywhere..
Even *more* anominimity in the Warcraft realms. (Bad)
Bad players/ninjas that have been kicked from every single guild on their server can move to another server, change their name, and never be known to anyone.. (Bad)
Farmer/duper type characters can be moved from realm to realm, bringing these activities to an all-time high and disrupting economies across all realms even moreso than currently. (BAD)
Can cause quick population changes, disrupting play with players who consider their server 'home'. (bad)
I like the good aspects of it - being able to move characters to join friends.. (good?)
But then again you can always re-roll, or pick a *new* server with your friend to start fresh on. (Yes)
just mho's..

I don't know if it's a good idea.
To me, it sounds like the perfect way for some ninjas to get out of a realm where they are known and hated.
On the brightside, if you wanted to even out the pop on some of these servers, then I'm up for it.
And yea, I think there should be a small fee. This ain't something easy, that's for sure.

I do agree with those who have expressed concern about ninjas/farmers moving server to server. I could think of a REALLY evil, but very effective way to counter people escaping bad reps... but I don't think it'd be widely accepted.

It's exactly what I was waiting for for the last three months. Fled annoying no matter what ganking behavior to join a decent guild but more or less lost my almost LvL 60 char. I definitely want to move my old char to my new guild.
The way to growing strong communities is to give people a chance to play with whom they want to. The ones who don't fit these communties will hopefully drop out sooner or later.

How does server transfers effect this website census? Once a character is transfered, they now show up twice in this census. Here's an example:
This is a character I had on Warsong Realm:
I transfered that character to Bonechewer when Realm transfers were first available and he now also shows up here:
So doesn't that throw the numbers off? He's still being counted for Warsong AND also for Bonechewer now.
How/if/when do you purge duplicate toons that have been transfered?

The character entries will reside in the database indefinately. However, only characters seen in the last 30 days are included in the census stats.

Personally, the fact that there are 15,000 alliance on my server as opposed to the 5,000 horde seems reason enough for me and my guild to want to transfer... But personally, I think you should be able to transfer from any high-pop server to any low-pop server for free.. That would make things very nice and cost-effective for me, considering that last week Windrunner went to "full" status.

They will be charging, as to prevent people from ninjaing to server to server, and they should charge, it will also prevent players from all trying to upset some balance or from going server hopping. Also i believe they will have a "cooldown" so like 1 transfer a week/month or w/e, to also help keep it in check. They are going to let it get all F***ed up after they are trying to achieve balance.

I think this is a great idea. I am not that concerned with ninja's and etc because I don't see why spending $50-$100 real dollars is going to help them. After they ninja a few "expensive" items in game then their name will be tarnished on the new server.
I do not think there should be exceptions to where you can go because if I am going to be paying Blizz to allow this then I want to go to where ever I want. I do think Blizz should suggest moving to certain realms to lower queue times in BGs, balance faction imbalance and lowering populations on FULL realms, but forcing you onto a certain server pretty much defeats the purpose of Fee Based character transfers.

I didn't say they should FORCE you to transfer from a high-pop to a low pop server, I'm saying that IN ADDITION TO the transfers with a fee, there should be a free service from ANY high-population server to ANY low population one, instead of them choosing one for you.

why does my model t go in reverse when I press the low speed pedal and goes forward on the reverse pedal what did I do wrong
the guts in your rear end are in backwards. Don't ask how I know
Sounds like the classic case of putting the ring gear in the differential on the wrong side. It will go together just fine, but it will turn backwards!
Ditto... Exactly. Been there, done that!
Too many cooks in the kitchen
The easiest way to remember which way the big ring gear goes so the car doesn't run the wrong direction is to be sure it is OPPOSITE the filler plug. Pictures don't hurt any either as you're dismantling the thing. It's certainly easy to forget where the stuff goes back in the housing after a day or two of all being apart.
yep by the looks that's what I did I racked my brain for days thought something was wrong in the transmission thanks very much this saved me alote of work
Off topic, but a Model A is the same way. Dan
So is the old VW. That worked good for installing a Corvair engine.
There is a tale about the first production Volvo car (1927) also being assembled the wrong way.. The big photo op / public delivery had to be delayed until the next day and later on the differential was changed to eliminate the possibility.
I just redid mine with a friend, if he was not mentering me I might have done the same thing.
! koob eht daer evah dluohs uoY
Just blew the spell checkers mind!
Paul, I bet you won't make that mistake again.
Ralph, I did that to a VW bus once... forgot about the gear reducers! I didn't have a spare Corvair engine to fix the problem.

Sara Evans Planning for Baby No. 8?
Sara Evans and her husband, Jay Barker, already have seven kids between them -- but that hasn't kept the happy couple from wanting to add one more little one to their gigantic family. No one has spotted a baby bump just yet, but Evans recently opened up to OK! magazine about her desire to have another child.
"We talk about that a lot," the country singer, 41, said of the couple's baby plans. "We would actually love to [have another baby]. I don't have a ton of time to be sitting around considering it [laughs], but we would love to – yes. That would be a blessing. Our kids beg us to all the time, but we keep putting it off. We'll see. That's definitely something we talk about."
Evans and Barker, a sports radio host in Birmingham, Ala., recently celebrated their fourth anniversary. When the country music star and the sports fanatic married, they each brought children from a previous relationship to their new marriage. Evans moved her three kids (Avery, 11, Olivia, 9, and Audrey, 7) to Birmingham, where she now lives with Barker and his brood of four (Andrew, 13, Braxton, 11, Sarah Ashlee, 10, and Harrison, 10). Barker shares custody of his children with their birth mother.
Although living with seven kids sounds like chaos, Evans has nothing but warm things to say about her husband and his children.
"Jay is just perfect in every way," she admits. "Seriously, he's the perfect combination of all of the things that I wanted in a man. He's the exact right of tough and manly, and the exact right of sweet and the exact right of romantic, and he's not extreme in any one of those areas."
While some might worry that Evans' kids could feel jealous sharing their mom with Barker's group, she insists that her children don't mind. They were so young when their mother remarried that they hardly remember when things were any different. In fact, they love their big family so much that they are begging for another brother or sister.
But Evans isn't lying when she says she doesn't have a lot of down time to think about getting pregnant. Last week, the 'Born to Fly' hitmaker jetted to Oklahoma City to sing the National Anthem before the NBA Finals game between the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Plus, she's booked solid with tour dates through August. But who knows? Maybe later this year she will begin to show a baby bump!

Go ahead. It's okay to admit it. We've all done it. The phone rings and for a moment, just a brief moment in time, we turn our attention to the cell phone. Perhaps we're annoyed by the ringing; maybe we just don't want to miss the call; or perhaps we're simply too well-conditioned in this modern society by both our hectic schedules and the increasing desire of management to be on-call 24/7, even when we're not. But if you're reading this today, at least you haven't been a victim – yet.
Distracted driving has received a lot of attention in 2012, and deservedly so. Laws are being written, regulations are being proposed, and public service announcements are everywhere – from billboards to magazines to your favorite TV show at night. And yet, people are still dying simply because a ringing telephone can never go unanswered, although there are times it should.
Much of the focus has been on texting while driving, but there is no doubt that use of a phone or computer in the cab is a distraction – and in most states, against the law. There remains continuing debate about whether hands-free devices are actually safer as some claim that the act of carrying on the conversation is distraction enough. For carriers, though, the fact remains that a driver involved in an incident where distraction played a role is a major liability, both from a financial and public relations standpoint. As a result, carriers across the country are implementing policies to combat distracted driving.
This, we all know. If your carrier has not implemented a policy, though, it needs to, and soon. The National Safety Council (NSC) estimates that at least 24% of crashes in 2010 involved drivers using cell phones. That's 1.1 million crashes where drivers were talking on a cell phone and a minimum of 160,000 where drivers were texting, the group said. Those crashes are costing companies $24,500 per property damage crash and $150,000 per injury crash, and as much as $3.6 million per fatality.
In its white paper, Employer Liability and the Case for Comprehensive Cell Phone Policies, NSC noted that research studies found the risk of a crash to be four times as likely when a person is using a cell phone, regardless of whether it was handheld or hands-free device. The report noted that companies who expect to communicate with the employees and have a reasonable expectation that those employees may be driving when that contact is made put themselves at even greater risk legally.
"Business leaders owe it to their employees to put safety first – especially when employees are on the roads," said Janet Froetscher, NSC president & CEO. "Employers should know a policy that prohibits handheld and hands-free cell phone use by all employees while driving is not only a best safety practice but also contributes to the bottom line."
NSC pointed out that businesses may be held responsible for the actions of an employee within the course of their duties, meaning if your driver is on the phone when an incident occurs, the company may be just as responsible for the incident as the driver. To combat this, NSC recommended companies go beyond what the law requires.
"Companies whose leaders are committed to safety excellence know that their safety systems and policies often exceed OSHA requirements or state laws, because regulations and laws often prescribe minimum standards, not best-in-class safety," the report noted. In fact, the report goes on to note that "employers can and have been held liable for actions that are actually allowed by federal regulation and individual state laws."
According to Attorney Todd Clement, "juries are generally motivated to award large verdicts not be sympathy or outrage; rather large verdicts are returned when the jurors believe that such versions make themselves and their children safer."
The report concludes by encouraging all businesses to enact a total ban on cell-phone use while driving. It noted that a 2010 survey of Fortune 500 companies that had implemented a total ban found that only 7% saw a decline in worker productivity and 19% believed that productivity increased. NSC also noted that while having a strong policy in place does not insulate a carrier from damages, it can reduce the severity of claims.
Something any good fleet manager should consider just as they would consider any other operational cost. If you don't have a plan in place, it's time to get one.
NSC has created a document to help companies interested in implementing a policy. It can be downloaded for free from cellphonekit.nsc.org.

Researchers Find Resistance to Soybean Fungus
Agricultural Research Service
Washington, D.C. (June 13, 2005) - The first soybean line with genetic resistance to charcoal rot has been released by Agricultural Research Service scientists in Mississippi.
Charcoal rot, caused by the soilborne fungus Macrophomina phaseolina, is a major yield-limiting disease of the Mid-South and other soybean-producing regions throughout the world.
The new line, DT97-4290, developed by scientists in the ARS Crop Genetics and Production Research Unit at Stoneville, is a potentially valuable source of resistance to charcoal rot for soybean breeders and producers in areas experiencing yield losses due to the disease.
Charcoal rot symptoms usually appear when weather conditions are hot and dry, causing the soybean plant to lose vigor. In more advanced stages, petioles and leaves may turn yellow and wilt, while remaining attached to the plant. No chemical controls currently exist for charcoal rot, and resistance has been hard to identify.
Field studies were conducted at Stoneville to find charcoal rot resistance among 24 selected soybean genotypes. The researchers identified three breeding lines with genetic resistance, according to Bob Paris, the research geneticist who developed the line with Alemu Mengistu, a soybean pathologist.
The new line was selected for its adaptation to the clay soils of the lower Mississippi River valley, and for its field resistance to charcoal rot, soybean mosaic virus and stem canker, and moderate resistance to frogeye leafspot.
Genetic material of this release will be deposited in the National Plant Germplasm System, where it will be available for soybean researchers and breeders.
ARS is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's chief scientific research agency.

(CNN) -- Climate protesters demonstrating against Donald Trump's plans for a sports resort broke into a Scottish airport Tuesday, setting up a small golf course and scaling the roof of a terminal building.
Climate protesters broke into Aberdeen Airport in the early hours of Tuesday to demonstrate against plans for expansion.
Flights at Aberdeen airport were returning to normal by midday after the activists breached the security fence overnight, the airport authority said.
Nine members of Plane Stupid, which campaigns against airport expansion and aviation-related climate change, entered the airport grounds at about 2:15 a.m. Tuesday (9:15 p.m. Monday ET), the group said. A spokesman for the airport called the protest "dangerous and highly irresponsible."
By mid-morning, the seven members on the ground had been arrested, but the two protesters remained on the roof, group spokesman Leo Mullay told CNN.
He explained that the group is against plans to expand the one-runway airport for the American millionaire's planned golf resort in the region.
"It's going to cause a huge increase in emissions," Mullay said. "There's simply no capacity within our carbon budget for more flying."
Trump's plans call for a golf resort to be built on 1,400 acres along Scotland's northeast coast, just north of Aberdeen, according to the resort's Web site. Trump International Golf Links, Scotland, is to feature two championship-caliber golf courses and a five-star luxury hotel.
Trump's resort is in the planning stages, project director Neil Hobday told CNN. But he rejected the idea that the airport is expanding because of the Trump resort.
"The runway issue has been going on long before we got here," Hobday told CNN. It's "nothing to do with us. They were going to lengthen the runway whether we were here or not."
The protest caused a backlog of flights at the airport, a major gateway for Scotland and one of Europe's busiest heliports, airport officials said.
Outbound flights resumed just after 9 a.m. (4 a.m. ET), but there remained some delays and cancellations, according to the airport's Web site.
"Despite the runway being open and available for use, the earlier protest is likely to cause some knock-on disruption during the course of the day and passengers are being asked to check the status of their flight," an airport statement said.

'Nashville' Recap: 'Hanky Panky Woman'
Oh, 'Nashville.' You never fail to bring the drama. This week, we've got fake blood in a margarine container, a suggested threesome, an unsolicited love confession and of course, a bunch of bootkickin' country songs.
Remember last week when rich dude Charlie's nasty wife Olivia put the surprisingly Sapphic moves on Juliette? Well, she suggests that she and Juliette have a threesome... with her husband. Juliette is decidedly not into it, and that's basically the most interesting thing that happens to her this week, even though it technically happened last week.
Gunnar's on the Luke Wheeler tour bus with Scarlett and she looks THRILLED to have her ex boyfriend/almost fiancee tag along as Luke's protege for a few weeks. You can tell because she frowns.
Rayna's going on tour, too, to support Scarlett, but mainly to have sexy time with Toby Keith... I mean, Luke Wheeler. Tandy sees her suitcase packed with lingerie and is like, "Girl, I want details," and also "LOL." But before Rayna can leave, cops bust into her house with a court order and force her to hand over the masters of the album she made with Liam, because technically they're Edgehill's property. She is, understandably, pissed. Skeevy Smiling Record Exec Jeff better watch his back because a pissed off Rayna James is no joke.
Meanwhile, cooing newlywed Teddy tells Peggy he wants to go to her next OB appointment with her. Peggy's inwardly flipping out because she conveniently forgot to tell her husband that she miscarried their baby before they were married. AWKWARD.
Scarlett is so nervous to sing before a stadium full of people, and I am so confused because she has very un-Scarlett looking brand-new pink tips in her hair. She goes onstage, can't hear her backing music through her earphones, sings off-key and everyone starts to boo (and throw popcorn!). It's heartbreaking. Deacon is there, too, and he's angry on her behalf. Rayna is concerned, so she goes onstage with Scarlett and basically shuts the booing down, which is nice but also kind of makes Scarlett look like a kindergartner that can't find her classroom.
Oh, no. Scarlett has a breakdown after performing, and not even puppy dog Uncle Deacon can make it better. Of course Rayna does the cool surrogate mom thing and reassures her, then they talk some good smack about Corporate Pruneface Record Exec Jeff. Rayna confronts Jeff about his continued nastiness, and he basically admits all he cares about is money, which DUH. Then he shows Rayna mock-up cover art where she has wings made of fire. Not even Connie Britton's amazing mermaid hair could make that ish look good.
Back to our subplots: Avery and Juliette have friend bonding time and write a new song. They say nice stuff to each other about people using them for sex, and it's actually pretty cute. Peggy decides she's going to fake a miscarriage using a margarine tub full of pretend blood. I actually thought she was going to try to get pregnant and pass it off as a super duper late baby, so overall I think the fake miscarriage plan is a good decision on her part.
Back at the Luke Wheeler show, Rayna and Deacon have a talk that begins awkwardly in a pleasant way and ends awkwardly in a negative way, because Deacon thinks Rayna is pushing Scarlett too hard. I love this show, but the writers are doing nothing with the chemistry between these two actors, and I think it's a travesty.
Later, by the hotel pool, Scarlett helps Gunnar write a song, and OMG, they still have chemistry -- both of the songwriting and the romantic ilk, at least in my opinion. Speaking of chemistry, Rayna and Luke Wheeler canoodle in bed and overhear Scarlett and Gunnar singing. They wrote a duet! For Rayna and Luke to sing! The next night, Scarlett kills it onstage, although her new song isn't as good as the ones she's written with Gunnar.
Rayna and Luke perform the song Gunnar wrote for them, and turns out it's part of Rayna's clever plan to get her masters back (perhaps the lace inset pants she wears onstage were also part of the plan). She and Shiny Haired Record Exec Jeff clink glasses -- he'll release the duet as a digital single, she gets her masters back. Boom.
After the show, Scarlett feels like she's not really cut out to be a country music star, Gunnar's on top of the world and Rayna and Luke are naked together again. Juliette busts in on Charlie and Olivia having fancy rich people dinner and basically tells them she doesn't want any part of their fancy rich people sex games. Fair enough!
Then, disarmingly British Charlie Wentworth shows up at Juliette's door to tell her he's in love with her and provides yet another opportunity in this episode for Hayden Panettiere to perfect her quizzical, profoundly weirded-out face. Teddy and Peggy cuddle and mourn their fake baby while Scarlett lays forlornly on her hotel bed. Everyone in Nashville is feeling all the feels.

Beautiful Manhattanhenge Sunset Tonight As Seen From Roosevelt Island
... Resident David Kraut suggested this idea for Roosevelt Island photographers.Here are some Manhattanhenge photos taken tonight from Roosevelt Island's West Channel Road in Southtown
"Manhattanhenge" is a reference to the twice-a-year phenomenon when the cross streets of Manhattan line up with the setting sun. Roosevelt Island is an ideal location to view this phenomenon because we can see across the west channel right up the streets....
and from the Rivercross Lawn.
More on Manhattanhenge from previous post.

Tri Songdétsen
Brandon Dotson
Emperor Tri Songdétsen (Khri Srong lde brtsan; 742–c.800
The basic contours of Tri Songdétsen's life and work may be gleaned from contemporary administrative records and from the king's own inscribed pillar edicts and their accompanying paper documents. These describe how he was enthroned as a fourteen-year-old boy after his father was assassinated in the course of a revolt. They also give Tri Songdétsen's reasons for officCially supporting Buddhism, and mention some of the opposition that he faced. As accounts of the concerted introduction of Buddhism to Tibet, Tri Songdétsen's edicts constitute a clear forerunner to later Tibetan "histories of the Dharma" (chos 'byung) that would become a standard medium for Tibet's Heilsgeschichte from the 11th century to the 21st. In this way, Tri Songdétsen also played a key role in the genesis of Tibet's unique form of Buddhist historiography.
Ironically, the very historiographical traditions that Tri Songdétsen inaugurated in Tibet would in subsequent centuries come to express an ambivalent attitude toward the emperor's central role in the establishment of Buddhism. Although he was lionized shortly after his death and in the century that followed, in Buddhist histories and hagiographies from the 12th century onward, Tri Songdétsen is eclipsed by the figure of the yogin Padmasambhava, who is credited as the real agent in the conversion of Tibet. Within this new narrative, the king is somewhat ineffectual in his commitment to Buddhism, such that his failure to follow Padmasambhava's instructions eventually accounts for Padmasambhava's departure from Tibet and for all sorts of future calamities that befall Tibet, its monarchy, and its people.
The subordination of Tri Songdétsen to Padmasambhava is part of a larger movement by which kings receded from Tibetans' devotional emphasis and from their daily lives, and by which the figure of the lama ascended to cultural paramountcy. In particular, it reflects a shift in devotional emphasis across the 11th to 13th centuries from the cult of Emperor Songtsen Gampo (Srong rtsan sgam po; c. 605–649), who was viewed as an emanation of Tibet's protector bodhisattva, Avalokiteśvara, to that of the yogin Padmasambhava, revered as an emanation of the Buddha Amitābha. Tri Songdétsen became a supporting player in Padmasambhava's hagiography and cult, as one of his twenty-five disciples, and was also refigured as an emanation of the bodhisattva Mañjusrī. It is in this guise that Tri Songdétsen is remembered within Tibetan cultural memory and within Tibetan Buddhism more generally from the 12th century to the 21st.

of Finance and Revenue
April 26, 2012
For Immediate Release
Media Contact:
Public Information Officer
Oklahoma Office of State Finance
(405) 521-3267
OKLAHOMA CITY – Secretary of Finance Preston Doerflinger, responding to concerns over low natural gas prices, said the Oklahoma economy is still going strong and the state revenue picture continues to look bright for the next fiscal year.
"The easiest thing in the world to sell is doubt and fear, even if there's little or no basis for it," Doerflinger said. "As public officials, we have an obligation not to be an alarmist and to be cautious in our assessment of the overall economy and not get bogged down in negativism over one aspect.
"Our assessment, based on key economic indicators such as declining unemployment, rising sales taxes and increased oilfield activity, is that Oklahoma is more than OK as we head toward the 2013 fiscal year, which begins July 1."
Doerflinger added, "Of course, we are concerned about low natural gas prices and are hoping they will rebound. But we do not anticipate that the natural gas situation will lead to a state budget hole in Fiscal Year 2013, just as it hasn't caused a revenue problem for the current fiscal year. That's because the energy industry as a whole is growing as is our entire state economy.
"The vigorous growth in overall collections to the General Revenue Fund has more than made up for lagging natural gas collections. In fact, we're expecting to end this fiscal year with a surplus that could exceed $300 million.
"We've seen record sales tax collections this year, no doubt driven in part by the boom in the oil patch, which has been spurred by enhanced drilling techniques. There's no reason to expect a slowdown anytime soon as industry experts, economists and the federal government are projecting oil prices will continue to increase in FY-2013, perhaps $10 to $15 per barrel higher than the figure used in our official state estimate.
"The economic activity generated by the upsurge in the oilfields, plus growth in other areas of our economy, should easily offset any revenue loss from declining natural gas tax collections, caused largely by the unusually mild winter weather."

koryp123 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 36 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
We're a non-profit group dedicated to implementing a program in Hawaii that would create a public funding option for candidates running for office. Instead of raising private money, candidates could attempt to qualify for full public funds to run their campaigns. This helps free up time for legislators to solve problems, and it cuts the ties between special interest money and the lawmaking process.
We're looking to modernize our existing logo (top left of website). We'd like to keep the same theme of the logo, but make it more modern and better-looking.
Our target audience is across the board. We want to appeal to anyone and everyone. We want to convey that Fair Election (campaign finance reform) will help "let the sun shine in on the legislative process" when it comes to money and politics.
We want to target old people, baby-boomers, and "generation O" -- young professionals, college, and high school kids.
We're relatively open to new designs. If you're at a loss, we suggest using the current themes of our current logo (sunshine theme - http://voterownedhawaii.org)
1. Organization Name needs to be in logo (Voter Owned Hawaii)
2. Looking to give the logo some more depth though through shading
or 3-dimensional looks.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

Five years ago, if you were to say you wanted to "tweet," the person you were talking to would probably think you were crazy. As pervasive as Twitter is today, five years ago it was nonexistent. When Jack Dorsey launched Twitter in 2006, chances are he never imagined that it would have such an impact on traditional media. Now, people tweet simultaneously while watching their favorite shows, and those on the Twitter-verse can find out who won every Oscar Award without even turning on the tube. Most importantly, Twitter is changing how brands interact with their publics.
Many television fans are shifting back to watching shows in real time, rather than watching a recording at a more convenient time. Twitter supplements the viewing of many popular shows by allowing fans to follow the conversation about episode happenings.
Glee is perhaps one of the best examples of how Twitter is effecting television viewing. "People feel like they have to watch the show while it's going on because the community is tweeting about the show and the characters are tweeting as the show's happening so [they have to] watch it in real time," said Twitter CEO Dick Costolo in an interview for the Consumer Electronics Show. With characters who tweet while the episode airs, Glee creates a new level of interaction for viewers. Twitter creates buzz before, during and after each episode of Glee.
With the popularity of social media, anyone can become a critic of any and every event. While increased interaction can certainly help brands, it also poses a danger. Everyone can and will comment on the things they don't like. Credibility or journalistic training is no longer needed for a comment to be taken to heart by the public.
The Oscar Awards took advantage of the increased conversation that Twitter provides. Its Twitter handle, @Oscar_awards, was used throughout the evening to tweet winners. While this tactic was useful for people like me with little time to watch award sagas, the takeaway from the Twitter-sphere was that the show itself was not at all entertaining. With hashtags like #Oscarfail trending during the show, this new media became a tool for fans to express their dislike with the famed awards show.
CNN published an article based on the tweets about the Oscars. In this article, one line that stood out was: "Richard Robbins, director of Social Innovation at [AT&T], tweeted that the show's producers might consider tuning in to Twitter and other sites in the future to gauge how the show is playing and make necessary changes if needed."
While Robbins may not have meant this as a serious idea, he makes a valid point. Twitter could very well change the way of live broadcasts. It would simply be good business to change directions with a live broadcast when things like #Oscarfail begin trending.
A key part of public relations is understanding how the public responds to your brand. Twitter is more than a new tool to reach people; it is a way to monitor and predict what will happen to your brand. Social media, for many, is the primary source of news. It is critical for brands to monitor and participate in the discussion on Twitter.
Twitter is often used to help the public feel more connected to a brand, but it can even be used to quickly learn about and lessen the effects of a crisis. On the Blast Media blog, Megan Giannini wrote, "Recently, some of the world's biggest brands have faced crises… in communication. It is understood that brands cannot necessarily predict a crisis like an oil spill, brake malfunctions or public outcry on privacy settings within a social network–but regardless of unforeseen crises, companies should be prepared to take quick and effective action."
Twitter's ability to connect directly with the public has the potential to give it a higher credibility than traditional methods. If the public feels that a brand is taking the time to connect with them on an individual basis, a crisis can cease much faster than it would with a basic news release or company statement.
With the many uses of social media, there is no way for news to come only from traditional media. By incorporating Twitter and following the discussion about the brand on Twitter, a public relations practitioner can better understand how to relate to the public. Twitter may not replace traditional media, but it is certainly a supplemental tool that can affect a brand's image. Social media must be a part of any communications plan for a brand to succeed.
Do you watch and tweet simultaneously? What do you think Twitter means for the success of a brand?
