Panthers Baseball Head Coach Ryan Stevens has announced the final members of his recruiting class. Combined with previously announced recruits, the Panthers will be bringing in a talented group to build on the progress the program has made over the last two seasons.
Sage Pesesky is a shortstop out of Thomas Edison High in Elmira. "Sage is a well rounded and very polished shortstop who had a very accomplished and impressive high school career," said Stevens. "He will be looked to come in and immediately compete for the starting job."
Garret Hunter is a catcher from Cox High School in Virginia Beach, Va. "Garret is a strong-armed catcher with a lot of offensive weapons to go with the mix. I expect he will come in and be a cornerstone for the Panthers behind the dish," said Stevens.
Charlie Hammel comes from Rush-Henrietta High School near Rochester. "Charlie is a utility player that can play an effective outfield and infield. He will also be counted on to produce on the mound," said Stevens. "Charlie comes from good baseball bloodlines and has been a part of the Grow 2 Pro Club team out of Rochester. With his strong arm and athleticism, you will see him make a big impact for us."
Zavier Andraianarivo comes from Millennium High School in New York City. "Zavier is a crafty pitcher that will come in and provide depth on the mound," said Stevens. "We expect he will really strengthen the staff."
Derek Beeching is out of Brookfield High. "Derek is an all-state pitcher/first baseman we are very excited to have join our program," said Stevens. "We will look for him to contribute on the mound and with the bat."
The Panthers continued to upgrade the pitching staff with the signing of Cornwall High's Ryan Farley to an NJCAA Letter of Intent. The 6-4 hurler is expected to step in and contribute immediately for the Panthers.
"Ryan has pitched for the powerhouse Brooklyn Bombers Baseball Club for the past few years with great success," said Panthers Head Coach Ryan Stevens. "He has a great arm and has rapidly developed into a prospect. Look for Ryan to come in and be a big part of our pitching staff over the next two years."
Two Auburn High standouts will join the Panthers for the 2016-17 season. T.J. Baranick and Chris Miccuci have signed NJCAA Letters of Intent to play for the Panthers and coach Ryan Stevens.
"T.J. is a power-hitting infielder as well as a power arm who hails from Auburn High and plays for Baseball U of Syracuse," said Stevens. "We're counting on his bat to provide production in the lineup as well as his arm giving us quality innings on the mound. Look for T.J. to have an impressive career over the next two years in Dryden."
"Chris is a speedy outfielder with a high motor," said Stevens of Maccuci, who also played for Baseball U of Syracuse. Stevens expects Maccuci to fill the centerfield position that was manned by Ty Christian the past two years. "The impact Chris will have in our outfield will be immediate the moment he steps on campus. We are excited to have him come join the Panther family."
The Panthers added a power arm to the pitching staff with the signing of Brookfield High's Justin Barber.
The Section III all-star gives Panthers Head Coach Ryan Stevens options. "Justin is an athlete who can play any position on the field but will mostly be counted on to be a large impact on the mound with his strong arm and work ethic," said Stevens. "He is a high character and well-rounded young man who expect big things from over the next two years for the Panthers."
The 2017 Panthers baseball program will include Christian Castro of North Arlington, N.J. The power-hitting infielder from Northern New Jersey signed his NJCAA Letter of Intent to play for Tompkins Cortland in the 2016-17 academic year.
Christian was an all-league and all-county performer in high school. "After Christian put up impressive power numbers for his North Arlington high school, we look to have him come in and be a force in the middle of our lineup," said Panther Head Coach Ryan Stevens. "We're excited to have him aboard."

Three Tompkins Cortland Community College baseball players have been named to the Mid-State Athletic Conference all-conference team. Sophomores Anthony Ferrezza (East Islip H.S./East Islip) and Dana Scarselletta (Auburn H.S./Auburn) were joined by freshman Matt Van Allen (West Genesee H.S./Camillus) on the All-MSAC team, giving the Panthers three of the 15 players honored. Voting was done by the coaches from the six conference teams. The Panthers finished with a record of 12-6 in the MSAC, finishing second in the conference standings.
Ferrezza played in 42 games, all at shortstop. He finished the year with 51 hits, the fourth most in season in Panthers history, and his career total of 91 hits established a new Tompkins Cortland record. His batting average of .383 was second on the team and ranks as the sixth-best in program history, and his career average of .364 is the fifth-best ever for a Panther.
Scarselletta led the team in hitting with a .396 batting average, the fifth-best in program history. He played in 39 games and had two of the longest hit-streaks in program history; a nine-game streak in the middle of the season and a 10-game streak to end the year. The ten-game streak ranks as the seventh-longest in program history. He also was second on the team with two home runs.
Van Allen tied the program record with four hits in one game, led the team with 29 RBI, finished second on the team with 44 hits, and second with nine doubles. His .373 batting average was third-best on the team and his .517 slugging percentage was tops. As the team's first baseman, he set a program record with 259 putouts in 39 games.
It's the tenth straight year Tompkins Cortland has placed a player on the all-conference team, and the seventh time the Panthers have had at least three representatives.

Ryan Stevens has finished two seasons as head baseball coach. Stevens, who was an assistant at Tompkins Cortland from 2006 to 2010, took over as head coach for the 2014-15 academic year. His teams have shown steady progress and the program is poised to take the next step.
Stevens has built an impressive resume since starting his coaching career during his first stint at Tompkins Cortland. While on the Dryden campus he was the Panthers' pitching coach and recruiting coordinator, helping build a brand new program into a playoff team. His time at the College coincides with the best four-year stretch in the program's history, culminating with an NJCAA regional playoff appearance in his final season.
In 2008 he entered the world of professional baseball, taking a job with the Texarkana Gunslingers of the Independent Professional Continental Baseball league. After two years and a league championship with the Gunslingers, Stevens took his first head coaching job with the Alpine Cowboys of the Pecos League, an independent professional league based in Texas with teams through the southwest. In five seasons as the manager of the Cowboys, Stevens has led the team to the postseason each year, capturing two league championships and posting an overall record of 208-119. He was named the Pecos League Manager of the Year, and has helped more than 50 players earn promotions to higher levels of professional baseball, including one, Jonathan Edwards, who is on a major league roster (Texas Rangers, pitcher). Two other of his players signed contracts with Major League affiliates: David Valesente (Pittsburgh Pirates organization, catcher) and Andrew Wall (Washington Nationals organization, pitcher).
Stevens, who also worked as an associate scout in the West Texas region for the Washington Nationals, served as an assistant coach at Ithaca College during the 2013-14 school year. He is a Dryden native, graduating from Dryden High before playing collegiate baseball at SUNY Cobleskill and Frostburg State University (Maryland).

2016 was Crowe's second year on the coaching staff, working with the catchers and infielders. A conference all star while at Bath-Haverling High, Crowe played two seasons at Tompkins Cortland, earning all-MSAC honors before finishing his collegiate career at Virginia Wesleyan University. He played professionally for two seasons under Coach Stevens with the Alpine Cowboys and coached at Cox High in Virginia Beach before joining the Panthers staff.

The Tompkins Cortland Community College baseball team ran up against one of the top teams in the region this weekend, dropping a pair of games at home Sunday. Tompkins Cortland fell to Niagara County Community College by scores of 8-3 and 17-0. After dropping four games to Niagara this weekend, Tompkins Cortland is now 4-21 overall and 4-16 in the Region III West Division. Niagara is and 16-2 in region and 23-11 overall.
In both games the Panthers were done in by bad third innings. Game one saw Tompkins Cortland give up five runs on four hits and three walks in the third inning, making the score 7-0. Tompkins Cortland came back with two in the bottom of the inning and another run in the sixth to pull within 7-3, but a final Niagara run in the seventh made the final score 8-3. Game two was scoreless until the third, when Niagara again scored five runs to take control of the game. Two more Niagara runs in the fourth made it 7-0, but the visitors broke the game wide open with 10 runs in the sixth.
Tompkins Cortland managed eight hits on the day, with Brian Pfund (East Hampton H.S./Montauk) going 2-for-3 as part of the six Tompkins Cortland hits in game one and Rodney Jester (Tri-Valley H.S./Liberty) accounting for all of Tompkins Cortland's hits in game two, going 2-for-3. Wilson Montalvo (Newburgh Free Academy/Bronx) drove in two runs in the opener.
The Panthers play at Finger Lakes Community College Tuesday.

Gas station/store gets to stay up late
West Allis - West Allis and the owner of the BP gas station/convenience store have reached a compromise in the store hours by setting a new closing time of midnight, two hours later than the current 10 p.m. closing.
The owner had asked to be open all night, but a city committee turned him down, worrying that granting such a request would open the door for all-night gas stations anywhere in the city - something the city has guarded against in its ordinances.
Its location also was against it, given that it is adjacent to a residential area and across the street from a senior resident home.
The station, at 7920 W. National Ave., already allows patrons to pump gas at any time.
Four area youths among first on stage
Greenfield and West Allis area residents Sam Skogstad, Amelia Acompanado, Rebecca Kraetz and Ryan Gonzalez will perform in the Pius XI High School production of "Miss Saigon - School Edition" that will mark the official opening of the school's new Performing Arts Center, 135 N. 76th St., Milwaukee.
The show will be presented Nov. 9, 10, 11, 17 and 18.
The students will be among the first to perform a large-scale production in the new state-of-the-art theater.
Moustache mania for a good cause
Greenfield - Greenfield High School has joined the "Movember Movement," meant to raise funds for men's cancer research and awareness during November by growing moustaches and holding fun events.
Movember is otherwise known as Mustache November. A number of staff members and students are part of the "Mo Hawks Team" that will host the events during the month culminating in wearing mustaches on Nov. 21.
Principal Paul Thusius has pledged to grow a moustache for 30 days and people can donate to his team online atus.movember.com/mospace.
Walker students to tackle world record
West Allis - Students at Walker Elementary School, 900 S. 119th St., will furiously participate in a worldwide effort to break the Guinness World Record for sport stacking.
The effort will take place Nov. 15 when students will stack and unstack 12 specially designed cups called speed stacks in predetermined sequences as fast as they can.
The hope is to break the world's record set at last year's Stack Up event.
Scout commended for beautification work
West Allis - Boy Scout Damien McFadden received a commendation from Mayor Dan Devine in the form of a proclamation that publicly thanked him for recruiting, organizing and leading fellow Scouts in his service project of landscaping the West Allis Historical Society's Monument Circle.
Levy drops 3.4 percent instead of 6.7 percent
West Allis - The tax levy drop wasn't quite as dramatic as the 6.7 percent that was hoped for at the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District annual meeting, but a decrease of 3.44 percent will still give relief to property taxpayers.
The School Board certified the levy of $44.8 million last week. That total was higher than officials predicted at the budget hearing because final state aid figures, the third Friday pupil count and equalized property values finally came in.
The pupil count increased by 117 students, with enrollment increasing 9,377.

Somethinig special!
"I ordered these for a holiday party. When they arrived, I was thrilled with the quality and fit of the shoe. They were just a little too high for my comfort and I knew that I wouldn't get much use of them so I exchanged for something else. If you don't have issues with a 4" heel and are looking for a classy, dressy heel I would highly recommend these."

Fun Shoe
"I wanted a gold and black shoe for the Fall and this shoe fit the bill. It looks great but it is not very comfortable. It is definitely a "sit-down" shoe. But it looks great on and I will enjoy wearing it to events were I don't have to stand for a long time."

"These were sexy heels but for me the straps were to big mostly around the ankle. Also the back of the shoe would rub up against my skin which will cause horrible blisters. The front of the shoe is great but the back need alot of work."

The 2012 holiday season was very good to the mobile shopping app, shopkick says.
Bill Siwicki
Shopkick, a mobile shopping app used by consumers in stores, has revealed that it reached its first profitable quarter in the fourth quarter of 2012. It declined to reveal exact revenue figures.
The company, which employs 60 people, launched an updated app, version 3.0, in October 2012, which led to a very large holiday spike in both consumer use and revenue for shopkick and its retailer and brand clients, shopkick says. It declined to reveal the number of times the app has been downloaded but says it has more than 4.5 million active users.
"We have only been in the market for a little over two years and did not plan or expect to reach our first profitable quarter so quickly," says Cyriac Roeding, CEO and co-founder. "Of course holidays are always the sweet spot for retail, but this far exceeded even our hopes. With this milestone, shopkick is ready for 2013, when mobile payments and mobile loyalty will start to converge, which puts shopkick in a position to get even bigger this year."
A consumer uses the shopkick app to check in at stores and scan bar codes on products to obtain more information. Both actions, walking in (location-based sensors detect when an app user enters a store) and scanning, as well as making a purchase, earn the consumer "kicks," reward points. She can redeem kicks in the app to obtain store gift cards, free coffee and dinners, Coach handbags, song downloads, movie tickets, Facebook Credits, donations to charity, and more.
Shopkick has driven more than $300 million in revenue to its retail and brand clients, with more than $200 million in 2012, the company says. Each engagement on shopkick is valuable to brand and retail clients, and shopkick earns a small fee for every event: every walk-in to a store, every product scan and every purchase, the company says. To date, shopkick has registered more than 16 million walk-ins to stores (2 million per month in Q4 2012), 26 million product scans and millions of transactions, shopkick reports.
Shopkick's business model is designed to be 100% performance-based, where retailers get foot traffic, their most desired benefit, and brands get product interactions via mobile scans directly at the point of purchase, shopkick says.
"The key to mobile is making an experience that can't exist without a mobile phone, based on performance-based business models, and that's why shopkick is performing so well," says Reid Hoffman, co-founder and chairman of social network LinkedIn and an investor in shopkick.
Shopkick also credits fourth quarter growth in part to its addition of look-books in the app. The look-books are designed to let consumers browse through products from shopkick retail clients and reward consumers who visit a store and scan an item found in a look-book.
Since launching in 2010, shopkick has gained 15 national retailer clients, including Target Corp., Macy's Inc., Old Navy, American Eagle Outfitters Inc., Best Buy Co. Inc., Crate & Barrel, Toys 'R' Us Inc., ExxonMobil and Simon Malls; and more than 70 brands, including Procter & Gamble, Kraft Foods, Disney, Revlon, Unilever and Pepsi.
Shopkick has location-based technology in more than 7,500 stores and malls, and consumers can interact with brand products at more than 250,000 locations nationwide, the company says.

Is your local association looking for a meaningful way to reach out to your colleagues at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.? Victoria Legacki, a second-grade teacher at Hilltop Elementary School in Mendham, N.J., has created a program that gives you that opportunity.
Before moving to New Jersey in 2007, Legacki was Miss Crocco, a first-grade teacher at Sandy Hook.
"My personal connection of knowing the staff and previously teaching in the first-grade classrooms made the event hit so much closer to home," Legacki said.
Legacki visited her former colleagues in January and learned that some groups had sent lunch to the Sandy Hook staff.
"The teachers I spoke with said that this had really taken a huge burden off of their shoulders and made their days a little bit easier," Legacki said.
Legacki's former colleagues welcomed the idea of having more lunches provided for them, so she made arrangements with a caterer local to the school to prepare the lunches at a reasonable cost.
Legacki named the program "Thinking of You Thursdays."
The staff from several schools in the Mendham area raised the funds to sponsor a lunch at Sandy Hook on Thursday, March 23. Contributing to that lunch were the borough's Hilltop Elementary, Mountain View Middle schools, St. Joseph's School, Ethel Hoppock Middle School Peer Leaders, and Mendham Township Elementary School.
Legacki is now seeking local associations and schools willing to sponsor other Thursday lunches through the end of the school year.
If your school or local association is interested in participating, Legacki asks that you identify a contact person to contact her at email@example.com.
You can learn more about the program, including costs, on the Thinking of You Thursdays blog at http://thinkingofyouthursdays.blogspot.com.

The pictures seem innocent. Their brother n sister and they reportedly have a close relationship. Im sure she was just pulling the annoying goof big sister act.
The girl is drugged, drunk, high out her f–kng mind most of the time we see her/read about her…
So to see her actually in the company of someone where she can actually relax without being a crackhead/sex object.. is kinda cool.
of course there r always those who live to make something out of nothing, and thats what this is.
Lol this isn't a "brother", its probably a long ago BF from the island she is trying to pass off as a family member in order to get him into the country and carded.ReplyCancel

The first rules of the new package liquor stores were passed in first reading at the Monday commissioners meeting.
"The spirit of the referendum is people want access to liquor," Commissioner Ray Justice, in his first meeting, joked at one point in the long debate.
While some issues were sent to the City Attorney to further investigate what the City of Mt. Juliet could do in placing restrictions on liquor stores, several were approved.
The first was that it could be a free standing building or strip center, as long as it was owned by the person holding the liquor license. Originally, it was supposed to be a free standing building only that must be owned by the liquor license holder. Justice thought that people should be able to lease an existing building, but Hagerty thought it would help to ensure the City that someone was in good financial standing to run an operation like a liquor store. Justice feared that not being able to lease the property would eliminate Providence and Paddocks, but Hagerty named off several parcels where a new store could go.
The next was the residency requirements. The ordinance as written left the commissioners open to what kind of residency requirements they could enact. It was originally written that they could say that they could live in the city or county for five years.
"It's always going to be an issue," said Commissioner James Maness about the requirements, however they set them because someone is going to get left out.
Commissioner Jim Bradshaw worried that if they made it five years, it would eliminate some people in Providence who may have only been here a few years, but are still very much a part of our community. There was also a worry that people just outside the city limits who may have been annexed into the city recently, or live just outside the city limits and still are a big part of the community.
In the end, the commissioners agreed unanimously to make the rules two years in the city or five years in the county.
How many liquor stores to allow in the city was the next issue. As it was written, it would allow one liquor store per 10,000 people in the City of Mt. Juliet. Mt. Juliet's population stands just under 30,000 at this time, so that would have allowed two. Justice believed that there should be no limit on how many can come into the city.
"This whole ordinance flies in the face of what I believe," said Justice.
Justice believed it should be open to the free market, and to let those who succeed, succeed and those who fail, fail. Hagerty said he feared that if we didn't have some sort of regulation, we could end up with a liquor store on four corners on the same intersection, so there needed to be some rules in place.
Eventually, the requirement was lowered to one per 8,000 people, which would allow three. The hope is to get one on the south side of Mt. Juliet Road, close to the intersection of North Mt. Juliet Road and Lebanon Road, and one in the Shiloh area.
State law requires liquor stores to be closed by 11 p.m. Maness suggested they move it up to 10 p.m. because of shift changes, but Mt. Juliet Police Chief Andy Garrett said that would not work because Officers are not out in their zones right at the shift change. The commission elected to move it up to a closing time of 9 p.m.
Several issues will come back on second reading based on what the City Attorney Gino Marchetti can determine as far as the legality of the commission's restrictions. Some of those are how far apart the city can require the stores to be from each other. Three miles was suggested. Also, if they could put a requirement on what the minimum and maximum square footage could be on the stores. It was suggested as no less than 3,000 square feet and no more than 10,000.
Second reading on the issue will be at the Dec. 10 meeting.

BOONEVILLE – For the past handful of seasons, the Ripley and Belmont girls have dominated Division 1-3A.
Now the Booneville Lady Devils are trying to elbow their way into the conversation.
Not panicking when down by six points late in the fourth quarter, the Lady Devils claimed a 55-54 victory Tuesday over defending Class 3A state champion Belmont.
"This was a big game because of what it means to us," Booneville head coach Bart Greenhaw said. "No question we've fought the last couple of years getting over the intimidation of playing Ripley and Belmont.
"Tonight, we kept our composure, and made a little run at the end."
The significance of this contest for Booneville – locking up the No. 2 seed in 1-3A, which also carries an automatic berth in the 3A North Mississippi Tournament.
And it took the Lady Devils (14-9, 3-2) not panicking while looking up at a 53-47 Belmont lead with 2 minutes, 22 seconds to play following free throws by Kela Powell.
Crucial 3-pointers by Cora Geno, and then Erica Whitten with 1:11 to play pulled Booneville within 54-53. Then a pair of free throws by Whitten pushed the Lady Devils into the lead with 1:02 remaining.
Booneville then survived posessions by Belmont (16-8, 2-2) in the closing seconds.
"We didn't finish the game," Belmont coach Chris Higginbottom said. "Defensively, we didn't do the job, we got beat on defense and rebounding."
Jasmine Allen paced Booneville with 14 points, while Powell scored 17 for Belmont.
Belmont led 34-29 at the half.
(B) Booneville 80, Belmont 57: Kenny Paul Geno scored 16 to pace the Blue Devils (21-4, 5-0), while Trent Jones hit 17 for Belmont.
Booneville led 42-27 at the half.

This B- list mostly movie actor who will be a B+ again when the next installment of his franchise is released paid $5K to a woman to pose with him in multiple locations over the weekend.
Nice one Sandy! Knew I shoulda went with my gut & throw down Lutz right away but I just HAD to quickly confirm this wasn't Gyllenhaal!
OT but Jeremy from Peep Show reminds me of the UK version of Lutz. I love Jeremy! Such a great show & characterReplyCancel
Dammit Randarenee!!! Josh was pap pec around with some mystery brunette.ReplyCancel
I see Groundhogs Day is still in effect but 5 minutes late and dyslexic.ReplyCancel
I didn't think this was Hutcherson simply because he has openly said he was open to sleeping with men, so I don't seem him being as likely to hire a beard as Kellen. That being said, if Hutcherson's been flaunting a new lady this weekend, it's probably him. Especially since VIP says so 😉ReplyCancel
Old franchise=Twilight
Current franchise=The Expendables
Future Franchise=Hercules
Take a bow Kellen Lutz!
@Sandy Wrong againReplyCancel
I bow to your superiority @Randarenee!
Good job getting here faster than VIP
"Leaning straight" meaning his people beat him back into the closet.ReplyCancel
I like this tension-filled build up to the 230 Blind! Sandybrook vs VIP vs rogue commenter Randarenee.ReplyCancel
+10 it's still not up! Enty's milking it!ReplyCancel
Peep Show is one of the best shows ever! Yes!! So glad to see another fan. Can't wait for the next (and sadly last) season. Sorry they call seasons "series" across the pond! 😉ReplyCancel
@di butler His first wife (Nikki Williams) had a miscarriage.ReplyCancel
Heard that too. Straight For Pay as well. If so, Kellen Lutz officially just became interesting to me. I really know nothing about him aside from the gossip.ReplyCancel
Omg… I'm fairly new to the commenting game and just happy to agree with VIP. Thanks everyone!!ReplyCancel
Welcome Randarenee!! And to beat VIP!ReplyCancel
Welcome Randaree! What a strong way to make your presence here! Well playedReplyCancel
That's actually the first time I ever heard about him. I thought this story in Out was just so awesomeReplyCancel
Or here too: Or the CDAN bible hereReplyCancel
Hutcherson's not gay and I don't think much of that interview being that it was for Out. He's a supporter of gay rights but he's way too much of a pussyhound to be gay and has dated/hooked up with way too many actresses though he could be bi. He has been seen with a girl this weekend, his girlfriend, same girl he was spotted with last year (his co-star in his latest movie who plays the love interest). Some people think the relationship is fake for PR for their movie but he's not that well known and she's a nobody even in her home country (Spain).ReplyCancel
maybe its someone from the trifecta of actors i love to hate. in no particular order they are Jonah hill, forrest whittaker, and paul giamattia as the icing on the cake.ReplyCancel
In the last year there have been several blinds like this and whenever people guess Josh Hutcherson, someone inevitably posts that it can't be him, he's not gay, he's a well known "pussyhound". I never heard that expression here on this site about anyone else, only him. Little strange to me. I think it's him anyway.ReplyCancel
Robyn, you're probably thinking of me. It's just what I've heard (and seen) about him. Which is not to say again that he can't be bi. In any case no one knows but him and it's not really relevant to this particular blind item so whatever.ReplyCancel
Btw, isn't the Twilight series over now? What about Orlando Bloom/The Hobbit? Maybe he and Liv Tyler are a showmance?ReplyCancel
I am a Josh follower and I have to say I have never posted here before but I think this may be him as well. Not saying he is pimping Claudia (the girl in the pics, and his so called g/f) out. I don't think it is like that. I suspect that he had to pay for her expenses and the cost of her missing her play that she is in. I do believe it is all staged. The pics of the 2 of them together have always been very staged. It is not to hide anything necessary, but more to allow him to be single without media in his face about it. I think he secretly wants to be with Jennifer Lawrence, but she is currently in a relationship, so he needs people to believe he is as well. Just my thoughts.ReplyCancel

At a recent physical, I mentioned that my migraines have increased in severity and frequency over the last few years. I attributed them to stress, but my doctor ordered some bloodwork just in case.
At the follow-up appointment, she said, "It probably doesn't surprise you, but these came back positive for a gluten allergy."
"Um," I replied, "actually it does surprise me." Sure, my siblings, aunt, and cousins have Celiac Disease, but I was tested years ago, and I'm negative. "No way, doc," I said. "I love bread and bread loves me."
She asked if I'd go gluten-free for a while, to see if the headaches went away. It's been two weeks, and not only have they nearly disappeared, the ever-present fatigue, soreness, and gastrointestinal distress that I'd attributed to laziness, aging, and food poisoning are gone. For the first time in my life, 7 hours of sleep is enough. I get up in the morning and my back doesn't hurt. I feel awake, and downright sprightly.
I should feel relieved. I should be grateful that I don't have a brain tumor, and that all I have to do to feel better is stop eating gluten. Instead, I'm bouncing like a pinball through the seven stages of grief:Shock: This is not possible. What will I eat? I cannot survive on Lärabars and fruit alone. Oh my god, I'm going to starve. Denial: To hell with migraines, I am going to stuff my face with this giant cinnamon roll. Bargaining: I could just keep eating muffins and taking lots of Advil... Guilt: Am I being punished for this post? Anger: Stupid body and your STUPID allergies! Why can't you just work right? Depression: No more steamed dumplings? No more Dogfish Head beer? No more FALAFEL?!? A life without gluten isn't worth living... Acceptance and Hope: Without bagels, beer, and cookies, I'm going to get totally skinny.
People ask me if giving up meat, eggs, and dairy was difficult. I tell them it was the easiest thing in the world, because I never liked those foods to begin with. I rarely eat faux meat, soy cheese, or tofu omlettes, because I don't miss the real thing at all.
I already miss gluten terribly. Without wheat and barley, there is a gaping hole in my diet. I have to toss out everything I know about baking and start over. But why bother? Gluten-free approximations will never taste and feel like my old favorites. I'll give up cookies, bread, and pie crust entirely before I'll eat hard, gluey imitations. Isa's Gluten Freedom Cupcakes aren't bad, but they won't get me through the rest of my life.
I had vegan grocery shopping down to a science. I knew which foods I could and couldn't eat. Now, I'm reading labels again and questioning ingredients. I'm drawn to every shiny prepackaged food that has a gluten-free label. A month ago, I was not interested in frozen waffles or Santa Fe Barbeque tortilla chips, but in my self-pity and withdrawal from white flour, I'm forking over big bucks for tiny packages of processed rice and tapioca.
After I left the doctor's office, I went to the library and checked out some medical books, a cookbook, and Gluten-Free Girl
This is probably the end of being invited to dinner parties; people who wondered what to feed the vegan now have to rule out normal bread and pasta. For the first time in a long time, I don't have a good answer when someone asks, "But what do you eat?" I'm figuring that out myself.
From now on, all the recipes on this site will be gluten-free. I'll also tag past recipes that are gluten-free. I have so much to learn. Please chime in, and if you can, have a bagel and an Allagash White for me.

New Laptop and iTunes Install
I am getting a new laptop, yay! Anyway, I have all my music on my NAS at the moment. I pointed iTunes to it and all works fine.
Now, with my new laptop, I want to install iTunes and then point it to that library but also keep my current library file that I have I guess so that all playlists are intact? How do I do that and how do I store that library file on my NAS so I have nothing stored locally?
Can anyone help?
New Laptop and iTunes Install
New Windows or Mac laptop? Macs have a migration assistant app which should keep your library files intact during the move. Maybe something like that exists for Windows?
For performance purposes you are
better off keeping the library files on your local PC even if the music files are all on a NAS.

New Laptop and iTunes Install
I have had it on the NAS for a while and have had no performance issues to date.
It is a PC. So, I get the part about the files on the nAS but how do I get the library file on the new PC before it creates a new one?

New Laptop and iTunes Install
Oh, wait a minute, read that again. Okay, so you are saying keep the library file local but the music files on the NAS? Okay, so do I hold down shift when launching to get that library file off of the NAS and then go to options to point the program to the NAS for the music files? So, then how do I get the library file to ultimately reside on my laptop?
New Laptop and iTunes Install
If you're not having performance issues, then there's no issue leaving the library file where it is. So the method of opening a library given above should work.
I made the suggestion to have the library file local because others have reported performance issues and having a local library file but remote music fixed it.

New Laptop and iTunes Install
Let me ask you a question, what kind of performance issues? Sometime it lags when scrolling or when I do a search in the search box. Is that an issue that others have? Seems to correct itself when I reboot PC. I was thinking it was windows related. Files seem to load and play quick. What issues do you speak of? And I assume hitting shift and launching iTunes and then picking the library file off of my NAS is what I am supposed to do? Now, one more question. The old PC that I was using iTunes on, it was set up the same way. Do I need to now have it store the file locally so that things don't get messed up or can both computers access the library file with no issues coming up? I know the file will get rewritten As iTunes is used so that is why I am concerned. I don't want to mess things up as I will likely rip music to and access from both computers. Another one, when I sync my iPhone, I imagine I should only use one computer all the time? Where do those files get stored anyhow and will I need to bring them over to the new computer? Thanks for all of the help.
Re: New Laptop and iTunes Install
1) General sluggishness, I think. If you search the forums, someone else recently was having performance issues with the music and library files on a NAS, and a local library file fixed their problem.
2) Yes, assuming that you want to use the library file on the NAS.
3) There may be conflicts with 2 computers accessing the same library file. I agree with your concern. It is probably better to have separate library files on each laptop (even if the library files reside on the NAS--just give them different names. With separate library files for each computer, I don't believe that you can share playlists. You may be able to export and then import them.
4) Yes
5) The default location for apps and such is within the iTunes directory. So if the location of your iTunes directory on the NAS is "NAS/iTunes", then under that you will have your library files and a directory called "iTunes Media". Inside iTunes Media, there are subdirectories for each type of iTunes Media so one for Music, Movies, TV, Podcasts, and Apps. They should be able to stay on the NAS.
Here's some options:
Option #1
1) on the new laptop, just open up iTunes. It's library should be empty (and on the local drive since that is the default). On the old laptop, hold shift while opening iTunes and select the option to create a new library and put it locally on the laptop.
2) Then on both laptops, open up the Preferences and go to the Advanced tab. Turn off the option to "Copy media to iTunes directory". Change the iTunes Media folder location to be the iTunes Media folder on the NAS.
3) Again on both laptops, go to File -> Import and select the iTunes Media folder on the NAS. Since you have "Copy media" turned off, it should be pretty quick.
4) When it's done, to verify, pick a song, movie, app, etc and do Ctrl-I to get info. On the first tab you should see the media location and it should be pointing to the file on the NAS.
5) Go back into the Preferences and turn the "Copy media" option back on so that if you add more stuff later (like ripping a CD) it will get put onto the NAS and not the local drive. One disadvantage with this whole approach, is that if you rip the CD on laptop #1, then on laptop #2 you will have to turn the "Copy Media" flag off, and then do a File -> Import of just the directory that contains the newly ripped media in order to get it into the iTunes library on laptop #2.
6) create playlists separately on each laptop
Option #2 - Use iTunes Home Sharing
1) You need to have a PC that is always on, or at least one that you can turn on when you want to use Home Sharing. You can also investigate the capabilities of your NAS. Some of them have a built-in iTunes Server which may work for this--although it may only work for music not other types of iTunes Media. Home Sharing only works over a local network.
2) On the always on PC, do steps #1 - #5 above.
3) On the always on PC, turn on and sign into Home Sharing with your Apple ID.
4) On the other PC, create a new library as in step #1 above.
5) On the other PC, sign into Home Sharing with the same Apple ID. You should see the "always on" PC under the Home Sharing list on the left. You can expand it to see all the folders of what you can access (Music, Movies, etc.)
6) On the other PC, under Home Sharing folders, you should be able to just select a song and play it as usual. Or you can select some songs or other media and choose to import it from the Home Sharing PC's iTunes library to the other PC's iTunes library--this works well to grab music that you want on the other PC when you are not on the local network.
7) Only ever add media via the always on PC.
8) you will still have to have separate playlists.
9) On advantage of Home Sharing is that you can sign into Home Sharing in both the Video and Music apps on iOS and play all your stuff without having to sync it to the iPhone/iPad/iTouch. As long as you are on your local network of course.
Option #3 - Combination
1) You can do Options #1 & #2 together. i.e., you can have local library file pointing at remote media and have Home Sharing turned on.
Option #4 - iTunes Match (music only)
1) Set up one laptop as in Option #1, items #1 - #5
2) Turn on iTunes Match and pay the $25/year fee
3) Let iTunes Match do it's thing. If it recognizes the song it will just mark it that you have it, if it doesn't then it will upload it. Depending on your library size and network speed, this may take a while. You can change which columns iTunes shows and there's a column you can add for iTunes Match status.
4) On the second laptop, create a new iTunes library as in Option #1, step #1.
5) On the second laptop, sign into iTunes Match. You will then see all your music without it actually being on the laptop and without looking at the NAS.
6) Depending on how much you trust Apple, you can now delete all of your music. Probably safer to keep a backup though. However, on the first laptop you can delete it from the iTunes library. Deleting tracks should give you the option to a) remove from library, b) remove from library and send to trash, or c) remove from library and iTunes Match. If you "trust" Apple, then choose b), otherwise choose a). After deleting it from the library on the first laptop, the music will still be listed in iTunes.
7) iTunes Match does sync playlists, so you will see the same playlists on any laptop you are signed into iTunes Match. You can also sign into iTunes Match on any iOS device.
8) iTunes Match does not rely on the local network, but of course, you need to have an internet connection.
9) If you ever need access to music when you don't have an internet connection, then while you do have a connection, you can just right-click on the songs on what and there is an option to download them locally. You can always delete them per step #6, option b when you return to an internet connection.
10) You still have to choose another method for other iTunes Media like TV, Podcasts, Movies, and iOS apps.
Hope this wasn't too confusing.

Re: New Laptop and iTunes Install
Holy mackerel! That's a lot of options. Let me narrow it down:
1. I have an NAS that is a iTunes media server however in order for it to work, you have to have iTunes running on a computer.
2. I do have home sharing enabled now so that I can play music/video on my Apple TV that is stored on the NAS.
3. Let me simplify my life a little. With my current PC, I would like to store the itunes library file locally. I will let my son use it to back-up his iPhone and load music onto it. That's all it will be used for. With my new PC, I will store the itunes library file locally. I will enable home sharing. I will use the PC solely to back up mine and my wifes phones, to rip music to, to manage playlists from, etc. That way, from this point onward, all new music/playlists etc. will be controlled from the new laptop. Nothing new but my sons iPhone backups go on the old PC Does this make sense and if so, simplest way to accomplish? I think that is 1 and 2 combined?
4. When I do back up my iPhone, where are the contacts and settings stored? In that NAS folder you told me about or locally on the PC? I am going to assume that backing up to the new PC and continuing to do that should not present any issues so long as I am consistent in doing so?
5. Maybe Option 4 is the easiest? I would not delete any music however. The only issue is I have video on the NAS but I assume I can access it from both computers because I will have them pointing to the NAS folder? Wouldn't all you mentioned show up on both computers because such media will be stored on the NAS anyhow? If I end my subscription however, then I lose all my music, right? The only way not to is download all from the cloud, however since I would only be using one PC to add all new stuff, etc, that should not be an issue because I will have all my music still on the NAS. Is this redundant?

New Laptop and iTunes Install
So now, take this one step further, is it possible if I have iTunes match to even though I have four computers some of which have music stored locally, all have their own different iTunes libraries, if I have music match, will I be able to upload all of that under my ID to the cloud and then have it all sync back to all these separate computers? What about music that I ripped from CDs and then that uploads to the To the cloud? I understand that they will all have to be logged in under my account, that is my iTunes account, but what I'm wondering is is this a way to have all the computers be able to access all of the music without having to access the NAS? I would assume that if I wanted to discontinue my iTunes match service then I would have to download everything off of the cloud onto one computer and store on my NAS? That is what I am thinking but I have many questions obviously.

New Laptop and iTunes Install
Oh, and one more question, what about music that was downloaded under a different userid? Will that I'll be up loadable to the cloud under my ID with iTunes match?
Re: New Laptop and iTunes Install
1 & 2) iTunes Media Server and Home Sharing are somewhat redundant as they both do similar things, i.e., let you access remote media without having it on your PC. No harm done though.
3) Sounds about right.
4) iPhone backups are not stored in the iTunes Media directory. They are buried somewhere on the local PC in the user directory. A quick google should tell you exactly where. However, unless you are opposed, I recommend doing iCloud backups rather than local (you can always do an occasional local backup in iTunes by right-clicking on your device and selecting backup). It does it much more frequently than you are likely to on your own-overnight, every night as long as the phone is not on battery.
5) iTunes Match has the added advantage of syncing playlists and not being restricted to your local network. But, yes, it doesn't do video so you'd have to get that from the NAS. Yes, having the music on the NAS and iTunes Match is redundant. You can think of the NAS as your backup and for accessing video. If you end a subscription, you lose access to your music from iTunes Match and if you didn't back it up previously you would lose it--well, you would only lose music that you added from other sources, if you purchased it through iTunes you would still have it, but you may have to redownload it from the purchases section in iTunes.
I think you are heading down a similar path as me, so here's my current setup in case that helps.
1) I have a Mac Mini with a large external drive for all my media. It is always on and iTunes is always running. It has Home Sharing turned on. Think of this as a combination of your NAS and main laptop with Home Sharing on.
2) I have 2 AppleTV 2's that use Home Sharing to play video and music.
3) I have iTunes Match signed in on the Mac Mini (that's where it originally matched and upload non-matched music from). However, I still have all the music stored on the external drive on the Mac Mini. Adding music to the library on the Mac Mini will automatically update iTunes Match so it is available on other devices signed into the service.
4) I have iTunes Match signed in on my laptop. So I can play music and create playlists that get sync'd. But none of the music is stored on the laptop. So if in my Library, I go to the Music tab, I can stream music to my laptop via iTunes Match anywhere that I have an internet connection.
5) I also have Home Sharing turned on on my laptop so that I can access video, podcasts, etc that are located on the Mac Mini. I could play music on the laptop via Home Sharing if for some reason my internet connection was down but I still had my internal home network.
6) Since the AppleTV's are on the local network, I use Home Sharing for music. However, I believe you can turn on iTunes Match on the Apple TV's as well, in which case if I took my AppleTV to say a hotel room with an internet connection, I could access all my iTunes Match music on it.
7) My daughter connects to Home Sharing to watch video and listen to music. She also (with help) uses the Import feature of Home Sharing to import and store some of the media in her local PC. This is useful if she is going to the grandparent's for instance or is going to be on a plane, etc. I also sometimes do this import process on my laptop if I'm going to be off the local network and want a video that's on the Home Share.
8) My husband can also use Home Sharing on his PC for music and video. He also sync's his iPhone to his PC.
9) My iPhone is signed into both Home Sharing (the Music and Video apps) and iTunes Match. So at home I can access any music/video I have stored. On the road as long as I have a cell signal, I can access any music I have in iTunes Match.
10) My iPad is pretty much set up the same as my iPhone. My 2 daughters are getting iPad mini's for Christmas and they will be set up the same way.
11) I use iCloud to back up both devices. And since I have iTunes Match and Home Sharing, I rarely ever plug either device into my laptop. The only time I really plug it into the laptop to sync would be to transfer video to the device if I know I'm not going to be on the local network (and thus can't access Home Sharing). If I know cell service isn't going to be accessible either, then I just use the Music app on the phone to download whatever music I want from iTunes Match. And I use PhotoStream to get photo's off the iPhone. I do have to plug it in to the laptop to get video off since Photo Stream doesn't support it. The most likely reason that I plug the iPhone into the laptop is to charge it and there isn't an outlet around--and that doesn't happen that often since I charge nightly with a bedside dock.
12) Basically unless I'm going to be off my local network, the iTunes library on my laptop is an empty shell and I don't have any media (except for photos/home videos which aren't part of iTunes anyway) stored on it. a) music thru iTunes Match, b) video/podcasts via the Home Share, c) iOS apps downloading to iTunes I have turned off because I can always get them again via the purchased tab of the AppStore (although I do have the Mac Mini set up to download any apps purchased with my Apple ID because I'm paranoid).
Re: New Laptop and iTunes Install
Yes, if you discontinued the iTunes Match service, you would need to download everything first if you didn't already have it stored elsewhere.
As long as it is music that you have ripped yourself or if purchased from iTunes is DRM-free, then it doesn't matter which iTunes ID was used to purchase the music. It may not work (I'm not sure) if the music was purchased under a different iTunes ID when iTunes music was still using DRM. There are ways to strip that DRM off if you are so inclined though. A quick google will tell you when iTunes music became DRM-free. I'm thinking it was somewhere around 2008.

Re: New Laptop and iTunes Install
Okay, I have been working on this for hours now, ugh! I do appreciate all the help, and here is where I am so far:
1. On new PC, installed iTunes, it set up a new library locally on the laptop. I pointed it to the NAS in the preferences>advanced. I did the import and it took quite a bit of time as I have like 7000 songs and there are 250 apps. When finished, I verified files not stored locally, no problem, that was fine. I then turned the copy media function back on and checked the keep organized tab. Well that opened a can of worms and I had to point like 100+ songs back to where their MP4 files were. Ugh! When I was almost done I think it started to do this by itself, does this make sense?Also, If I were to go to file>organize library, what would that have done and would it have screwed anything up? Why would I do that in the future? Anyway, after all was said and done, have some issues with it. It can see the music/video/apps etc on the NAS and play them. That is good. However, the NAS does not show up in the shared area on the left as it should, I can't see the old desktop (see #2) that I set up and I set up sharing however I can't see it in my Apple TV and I don't see the airplay logo in the bottom right of the screen as I should. Now, this is an issue that needs to be resolved. This is your #1 mentioned above.
2. I opened iTunes on the old desktop, held shift, and created a new library locally. All fine there. I have home sharing on. I can see the NAS and music under the shared area. I however can't see anything else on the NAS such as video, apps, etc. When I hit the music (not the shared section) and the video , there is nothing. Basically, it is not accessing the NAS for it's files other than where I see the music under the NAS shared area. I think the reason for this is I did not do as in #1 above import function as I was afraid I would screw up the folders on the NAS like I did when I did it on the laptop. The preferences are pointed to the media file on the NAS however. I can also see the laptop under the share however it seems to not see anything and times out and goes back to welcome screen. Also, it is sharing with the apple TV however since it has nothing in/on it, it says the library is empty and the apple TV can't play anything. All I want to do is have the laptop accessible to apple TV anyhow so I can see the videos. So, how do I fix this situation? This is your #4 and #5 mentioned above.
3. I would like to add sharing to other computers however since #2 above did not work, how will it work on others? (like my sons and my wifes laptops?)
4/ iTunes match is running now and I plan to use it on other PC's once I can solve the above. Please help.
5. What does this mean: 12) Basically unless I'm going to be off my local network, the iTunes library on my laptop is an empty shell and I don't have any media (except for photos/home videos which aren't part of iTunes anyway) stored on it. a) music thru iTunes Match, b) video/podcasts via the Home Share, c) iOS apps downloading to iTunes I have turned off because I can always get them again via the purchased tab of the AppStore (although I do have the Mac Mini set up to download any apps purchased with my Apple ID because I'm paranoid).
I understand you don't have anything stored on it but what does a,b,c mean and where is that option?
I really need help, thanks!
New Laptop and iTunes Install
Well I'm about to go to bed so ill try to remember to reply in the morning to try to help.
Anyway in regards to the a, b, c all I was trying to say is that those are places I store the media rather than get it from my local laptop hard drive. I didn't mean for it to be seen as options for you to try to find.

Re: New Laptop and iTunes Install
Gotcha on the a,b,c. You don't have them stored locally. Still having issues. ITunes match keeps locking up my iTunes, not sure what to do. The NAS showed up under shared but have not clicked on it because it keeps locking up. Also, what did you mean in 6 in you post prior? About deleting from library and all that? Hope you are having a good holiday, I need to take a rest from this!

Re: New Laptop and iTunes Install
Okay, update and questions. I have also posted on Apple site. I will just cut and paste:
1. All my songs have been matched or uploaded. Now, if I want a higher sampling rate copy downloaded to my PC (music is stored on my NAS actually), how do I do that and will it replace my old file? I store my library on an NAS I have but my library file is local for performace improvement. Would I lose that downladed better version if I were to discountinue my service?
2. When I rip a CD or whatever, does it automatically update to the cloud or do I have to trigger something to do so?
3, I noticed some items had artwork missing. I was able to either find it through iTunes or download an image and associate it to the album. I noticed tha has not seem to carry through to the cloud and I don't see the artwork there that I recently added and can see fine on my laptop, why is that and how can I get that artwork to the cloud?
4. I have an i Phone and my wife has an iPhone. I set up match for my iPhone and it said it would replace existing library and playlists. Fine, I understand all of that. However my wife has her own apple ID. I would like to set her up for match but I assume I would have to login her music/iTunes store under my ID on her phone? Will that screw up her phone when syncing to iTunes and somehow combine mine and my wifes phone info (contacts, apps, etc)? I sync both to my laptop. Can I somehow get her playlists off her phone and somehow into the cloud so that she will have them? I am assuming once I set her phone up for the cloud, she will lose all of her playlists as they are not set up on my pc as I just did a fresh install of iTunes before activating the service.
1. I want to install iTunes on my wifes computer, set up iTunes match for her, set up shaing. She will have a "shell" setup where notjing is stored as she is sharing with me and accessing the cloud. Do I need to set up that computer under my user id even though she has her own? I figure thats the only way to get her to iTunes match that I have?
2. How do I do this all? Meaning, I will have a local library file for her but I need to point her laptop to the NAS with the files on them. If I change her iTunes media file to that location on the NAS and check keep organized, will it screw up the files I have there? I noticed when I did that on my PC it moved some fles around and I had to reassociate lost files to songs. Took hurs. Would iTunes have done that automatically for me somehow? Should I not check the keep organized for her as she will not be adding music anyhow? What is the harm either way?
3. How do I see my pictures on my ATV unit? I thought I used to be able to but don't see an "app" on the ATV to do so, just photo stream which I do not want to do. I thought I used to be able to access the pictures stored on my NAS? Am I dreaming this or did it go away? My NAS is an iTunes server and I swear I used to be able to access them from my ATV? All I see on my ATV under my library is music, podcasts and movies.
4. I have my NAS sharing (home sharing) and I can see it on my laptop with iTuenes installed. When I click on it I see only music, no movies or anything else, why is that and is it something to do with home sharing? But, like I said I can see thse movies on ATV under my library. I can also see my playlists on the shared on my laptop but nothing is in them. I think that may be becuase they were set up under another library and now that I hve a new library file, they don't carry over? I don't see any of said playlists in the standard iTunes interface under playlists, just under the shared however like I said, no files in them. Also, the share comes and goes as in sometimes I see it sometimes I don't however I am always able to access the NAS from iTunes. Strange, may be network issues?
5. Along those same lines, sometimes the home share just up and dissapears from ATV. Maybe a network issue?
6. Lastly, I just did my first backup/sync of my iPhone to my new laptop with the fresh install of iTunes on it. It gave me some sort of message that I can only sync to one computer and do I want to overwrite or whatever? I said no and it did nothing. After that, I did a back-up however it seemed to go fast and I also did a sync. The sync was three steps, used to be like six and I did not notice any of my new apps being copied to it. Something is wrong here but not sure what to do, ideas?
Thanks in advance for any and all help
Re: New Laptop and iTunes Install
Now that I've recovered from my turkey coma, I'll see if I can help.
I'm not sure about getting playlists off of her phone, but once you get them set up again in iTunes, iTunes Match does sync playlists, so all playlists will show up on both phones and she can just use hers.
All I see on the ATV under Computers -> My Library is Music, TV, Movies, Podcasts.
I am guessing that the playlists did not carry over just as you said.
You can see movies on the ATV due to Home Sharing and the fact that those movies are part of your library which is logged into Home Sharing.
But honestly, I don't sync apps to/from my phone anymore. I just have the settings in iTunes and on my phone set to automatically download new apps purchased under my Apple ID automatically. It's under Preferences -> Store tab on iTunes and Settings -> iTunes and App Stores on the phone.

Re: New Laptop and iTunes Install
You have been incredibly helpful, thank you. I may be in the home stretch here, but have some questions and comments as follow:
1. When you say "library", you mean the actual copy of the file on the NAS, correct? In other words, delete the original files and download the upgraded copy? This will automatically save to the correct spot and folder on the NAS right because I have iTunes pointing to the NAS? You had mentioned in a prior post that if I "trusted" Apple, I could delete the original files. Well, I won't do that for safety's sake, I'll always have a copy on my NAS but it will be that "upgraded" copy we are discussing here. What is the difference between "removing from the library" and "removing from the library and sending to trash?" I would assume one just removes the "pointer" to the song or file where the other "removes the file and deletes the music on the NAS?" I guess by using iTunes match, I don't need to have that pointer anymore since all is stored "on the cloud". If so, I am assuming the computer right now is not looking for that library file anymore since I have match enabled? If I disable it, I would assume it would look for that local library file so it knows where my music is at?
2. 10-4.
3. It still has not updated. Maybe I did something wrong? I just clicked on one track of the album and associated the artwork. Do I need to do a ctrl>click and select the whole album then associate the artwork maybe?
4. 10-4. I will verify the correct id's are used.
1. 10-4, that's what I will do so that she can use my iTunes match.
2. 10-4. By the way, what is the organize library setting/option for?
3. Hmm, that's strange, maybe that functionality was removed by Apple on a software update recently? I sear I used to be able to view my prictures on my ATV.
4. 10-4.
5, I use wi-fi for my ATV but have never had issues from that standpoint.
6. Will do.
Again, thanks for all of the help.
Re: New Laptop and iTunes Install
With either option, after you delete it, you will see a "cloud download" icon appear in the "iCloud Download" column (if you don't have this visible you can right-click to see the same options. To show the column, go to View -> View Options from the top menu bar and check the column.) FYI...there is also an iCloud Status column you can add which shows whether the music was purchased, matched, uploaded, or in progress.
So if you click the "cloud download" icon it will download the higher quality version. It should put it in the iTunes library location which is your NAS. The only difference between the "remove" and "remove and trash" options is that in the "remove" option, I'm not sure if the NAS would keep both versions (because you didn't "trash" it) with different filenames for each file. But even if it kept both, your iTunes library will only be pointing to the upgraded one.
You don't need to have the "pointer" anymore to play the music because it can be streamed from the cloud on demand when you click on a song, start a playlist, etc. However, if you do have the music file in the location pointed to by your iTunes library file, it will play that one (whether its the original one or the higher quality one you downloaded), it will play it from that file rather than from the cloud. So from what I remember of your setup, since the iTunes library on your PC is pointing to the files physically located on the NAS, you will be playing them from there (the higher quality version assuming you've completed that process). However, your wife whose iTunes library is not pointing to the files on the NAS will be playing them streamed from the cloud.
Hope that helps...

Re: New Laptop and iTunes Install
You have been far more help than I deserve! I really appreciate it. I am actually smart, I just have a technical background so I like to know exactly what is going on and all the options, sorry. Okay, my interpretation:
1. I'm going to try all that and see what happens when I delete from NAS and don't and see what kind of files show up or are replaced, So, going back to your post earlier, if I want to download all 256 bitrate files (those matched, not uploaded, I get that) I will delete from library (itl file) and from NAS and trash? That way, it removes the "pointer as well as the electronic music file?" Then, I do the playlist as suggested by you, but then I get fuzzy since I already deleted. You said to "delete from playlist but not library" so if I do as mentioned prior, it probably wont work? Lastly, so, on my laptop that points to the NAS files, if I am on the road, how will I play them from laptop? I can't, right? That's because it is not streaming but rather is playing from NAS?
3. The artwork I am about to give up on because it doesn't seem to work and I lost a bit. You say to delete and re-add and all that however there seems to be something I don't quite get. You say to back up the music files (10-4), then delete from iTunes Library but select delete from iCloud. So that means delete the physical file copy as well since I backed it up? Then you say to do album art, how can I do that if I deleted as prior? What would I be adding them to? I guess I am a lost cause...
2. As far as organizing, right now I have the local iTunes folder with the library, artwork and add to Itunes folders/files. I have the NAS with iTunes>iTunes Music>Then all the subfolders. That seems organized to me and I hesitate to choose that option as I fear it will pick stuff out of folders again like what happened last time!! Anyway, if I chose it would it go to my local folder or to the NAS folder?
3. I'll ask at Apple boards on the photos. I could be hallucinating!
Again, thank you thank you so much!!
New Laptop and iTunes Install
I'll try to get back to you this evening.
Re: New Laptop and iTunes Install
Yes, your laptop points to the files on the NAS unless you delete them (from the library but not off the NAS) so that you are listening to music off of iTunes Match like your wife's laptop. I think I was thinking that you would have 1 PC that was in the house all the time (like I have a Mac Mini which doesn't travel and my laptop, by husband's and daughter's all stream music off of iTunes Match so that it is available wherever there is an internet connection).
Anyway, just a suggestion. Now that you have everything on iTunes Match (music at least), create 2 libraries on your laptop (use the Shift-open iTunes to create a new library). Have the main one that you already have to use in your house, access/control Home Sharing, sync you and your wife's phones if you want to, etc. On the second library, don't set any of that stuff up. Leave the library location where it is. Just sign into iTunes and turn on iTunes Match and then all your music will be there. When you are traveling you would then make sure you selected this library.
Where organizing is useful is where someone didn't have the "copy to iTunes Media location" option checked when they added new music/videos/etc. In that case, the iTunes library file just points to the file in whatever location it was in rather than being located in a subdirectory of the iTunes media location rather than copying it into the media location and pointing to it there. In this case, organizing the library will copy everything under the iTunes media location.

Re: New Laptop and iTunes Install
10x Thanks!
Here is a link to replace your library:
How to use iTunes Match to upgrade audio quality | How To - CNET
I am going to do it bit by bit as I have read horror stories of live tracks being replaced by studio tracks and other mishaps. I am going to back-up my ENTIRE library (my original music files) and save it somewhere on my NAS in case I have an issue when it downloads the new version. Just to be safe. I can just create a folder and then drag the entire library onto it, right? I would think so but I read where someone did that and it didn't copy everything. It is a basic windows function, so not sure why it wouldn't do a copy like that. I can understand copy/paste may be an issue...
My main PC is my laptop, so it may travel. I will keep it as is (current library) but also do a shft>open itunes and create one I will call "travel", sign into i-tunes and turn on match. Simple enough and I will use that library file when on the road. I assume to choose a specific library file, when I open iTunes I..... (that is a question) ;-)
I'll try your artwork solution. I am assuming when you say delete, I am just deleting from iTunes library and icloud and not deleting from the NAS?

The works in the exhibition are gathered into themes.
Click a theme title to your right to view them.
- Introduction
- Developing a visual language
- A political minefield
- Art and the theatre of life
- A room for Pat
This retrospective recognises the work of Richard Larter, one of Australia's most engaging artists. The exhibition includes works from the late 1950s through to the present. It conveys several key themes in the artist's oeuvre including an ongoing interest in the human body, sexuality, popular culture, politics and opposition to censorship. It reveals Larter's abiding interest in abstraction and figuration, often in the same works.
The exhibition is being shown on two levels. A linking aspect in works across the exhibition is the artist's passion for his late wife Pat – his artistic collaborator and an artist in her own right – who he married in 1953 and who died in 1996. In the Project Gallery upstairs is a room devoted to his portraits of her. Other rooms focus on non-figurative paintings that reveal his mastery of patterning and interest in music, science and the natural environment.
This retrospective confirms Larter's reputation as one of Australia's most audacious artists, capable of conveying a feeling for 'the theatre of life' as well as a technical innovator and remarkable colourist.

Shadow Banking and Financial Regulation
Morgan Ricks
Vanderbilt University - Law School
August 30, 2010
Columbia Law and Economics Working Paper No. 370
The so-called "shadow banking" system arose over recent decades and achieved full bloom just prior to the recent financial crisis. That system proved unstable. And the shadow banking system was the central focus of the government's emergency policy response to the crisis. Drawing on existing theory, this article argues that maturity transformation - the financing of longer-term financial assets with short-term (money-market) liabilities - is inherently unstable, and that this instability generates externalities. Consequently, government intervention may be warranted on grounds of economic efficiency. The article examines the efficiency characteristics of three potential approaches to policy intervention, which may be used alone or in combination: (i) ex ante risk constraints; (ii) ex post liquidity support; and (iii) insurance for short-term creditors. It shows that, under plausible assumptions, an insurance regime (supplemented with ex ante risk constraints to counteract the effects of moral hazard) is efficiency-maximizing. The proposed insurance regime would (i) make short-term liability insurance available to financial firms whose assets fall beneath a specified risk (volatility) threshold; and (ii) disallow financial firms whose assets exceed that threshold (and firms that are eligible for, but decline to participate in, the insurance regime) from funding themselves in the money markets. The article proposes functional criteria for establishing the efficiency-maximizing risk threshold.
