Songwriter thrives as country performer
Songs written and co-written by Eric Paslay have been getting a lot of attention and radio airplay for other artists.
Jake Owen's "Barefoot Blue Jean Night," co-written by Paslay, was named the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers' 2012 Country Song of the Year. The Eli Young Band's "Even If It Breaks Your Heart," also co-written by Paslay, was nominated for a 2013 Grammy for Best Country Song and Country Music Association Song of the Year in 2012.
But the Texas-born Paslay, 31, is a performer in his own right. He's been the opening act for Dierks Bentley, Clint Black and Blake Shelton, and has his own No. 1 single, "Friday Night." His "Song About A Girl" is also a staple on country radio.
It's very satisfying to Paslay that he's now pushing some of his songs up the country music chart through his own singing and playing talents.
"It's awesome that I'm getting to do what I moved to Nashville to do, and that's to leave Nashville every weekend and go play a bunch of songs," Paslay said Friday as he rolled into Des Moines for a performance at the Iowa State Fair.
Paslay will headline the Monday, Aug. 25, attractions at the Indiana County Fair.
Paslay gained his music business savvy through courses at Middle Tennessee State University. He picked up his musical ability through schools that had musical theater and by learning to play the piano, guitar and violin.
"Music was always kind of around me," Paslay said. "My grandfather and his brothers had a band. He passed away when I was about 2 years old so I didn't really grow up in the band but there were stories about him. So, I think when I started playing guitar at 15 my family wasn't too scared of me doing that thanks to him and his brothers."
Paslay also soaked up live country music at the Heart of Texas Coliseum, in Waco, and at dance halls throughout Texas.
"Around the country, all music venues are a little different and people listen a little different," he said. "And I'm glad I'm getting to learn all that."
He discovered as a teen that most songs are really poems, and that realization influences his creative process.
"I'm not afraid to put some big words in there once in a while," he said. "I always just remember that if someone's going to give me three minutes of their life, I want to make sure it's worth it. … I hope it's a song that people will think it's time well spent listening to it. … I always try to make sure it sounds as real and authentic as I can make it."
By the end of this year Paslay will have played 180 band dates.
"I'll have played close to 250 including all the acoustic shows I play for radio stations and things like that. It's definitely been the busiest year of my life," he said.
The schedule has forced him to learn how to write new material while spending much of his time on the road.
"It's kind of weird going from only getting to write songs and wanting to play shows to now pretty much playing tons of shows and trying to figure out when I have time to write songs," he said. "It's a good trade-off. I've written a thousand songs in the last eight years so I'm glad some of them are getting heard now."
Paslay said he was never the cool kid in school but instead was "the kid in the back of the room watching." But the transition to his band's frontman hasn't been difficult.
"Call it the stages of life," he said. "From the little coffee shops to playing a church, to getting to play bigger shows and bigger shows, I think we all learn how to get on stage and be comfortable with it and realize everybody's having fun, even though we're live and vulnerable.
"The most satisfying thing is connecting with people and hopefully making a good memory for them that night," he said. "As an entertainer, we get to create an escape for people, from real life for a little bit, or to bring them back to real life and let them focus on what really matters. … God somehow allows me to hopefully influence people for good and make a good soundtrack to a memory for them, that they can look back on and hopefully fall in love deeper and dream higher. It's a cool thing to get to be a part of that."
He's also enjoying his additional role as a music video actor.
"They're always fun. You're there all day long, for umpteen hours for a three-minute video. But I think it's worth capturing that."
He's especially proud of the video for "Song About a Girl." Near its end there some flashes of old photos featuring his grandmothers.
"My mom's mom is holding a guitar at the very end when she was a teenager. And my dad's mom is sitting in kind of a ball gown. … There's even a flash of … Lady Liberty. … The neat part is, every song's about a girl."
In his free time and while on the road, Paslay listens a lot to country music radio, "to see what all my friends are up to," he said. "If it's a great song, I turn it up. It might not even be in a language I understand. I just love music and love how it takes you somewhere."
Despite being a Texas boy, Paslay shuns cowboy hats in favor of a plain, brown ball cap.
"It's just my thing," he said. "I wasn't meant to wear a cowboy hat."

Hard win keeps Roosters honest

Canberra 22 Syd Roosters 38
Even before regaining the competition lead with yesterday's classy win at Canberra Stadium, the Sydney Roosters were already focused on the big picture after spending three days in camp reviewing the season, planning for the finals - and trying to avoid the hype.
"The players all week had been hearing how much we were going to win by and how it was going to be an easy game, and it's really hard to prepare under circumstances like that, because it's sometimes natural for them to believe the man in the street," Roosters coach Ricky Stuart said.
While the possibility of the Bulldogs losing to Melbourne hadn't been discussed during their time in Batemans Bay, the Roosters set their sights on ensuring they maintained a place in the top two and stepping up another gear when the finals start.
The camp had been planned for five weeks and the match against Canberra was just part of the equation, but Stuart predicted that the way his side had to withstand a desperate Raiders fightback after racing to an early 22-0 lead would prove invaluable for the road ahead.
Not even injuries to internationals Craig Fitzgibbon (ankle) and Anthony Minichiello (corked thigh) or the possibility of a judiciary charge against skipper Brad Fittler for a lifting tackle on Matthew Gafa could dampen his enthusiasm.
"I'm really excited about this win. It's about putting something in the bank for the games ahead," Stuart said.
"When you get away to the start that everyone is predicting it can be really hard for the players to handle that, so I'm really proud of the way they maintained their effort for the entire 80 minutes.
"We started really well again today and we found a lot of their weaknesses where we were aiming at and we ended up getting a lot of points, but then at the end, where we had to slug it out, that's going to be great preparation for us at the back end of the season."
Raiders coach Matthew Elliott was pleased with the commitment of his players, saying: "At least when we stuffed up we did so at 100 miles an hour rather than being conservative or intimidated.
But with 11 players unavailable through injury or suspension, the Raiders' faithful seemed resigned to their fate even before kick-off - the ground announcer asking Anthony Mundine whether he'd consider playing for the Raiders if he ever returned to league from boxing.
Politely replying that he would, Mundine - a special guest for the club's reconciliation celebrations, which involved the Raiders wearing commemorative jerseys - was then told he had 10 minutes to suit up, as Canberra needed him.
By midway through the first half, the Raiders seemed to require help from a slightly higher source than The Man as the Roosters piled on the points at a rate better than even time.
Clinton Schifcofske's 11th-minute sin-binning for what referee Jason Robinson described as "out-and-out insolence" after he stripped Anthony Tupou on the try line and then knocked the ball out of his hands following the penalty didn't help, but Canberra were already trailing 12-0.
Ryan Cross had been the player causing the most damage for the Roosters, racing 60 metres down the eastern touch line before putting Luke Ricketson over in the second minute and making several other breaks on the opposite side of the field in the opening exchanges.
Just moments after Schifcofske's departure, the City Origin centre grabbed a try of his own and only a Simon Woolford ankle tap stopped him scoring again in the 14th minute after another long run.
When back-rower Michael Crocker regathered a Chris Walker kick after a break by Shannon Hegarty to score in the 19th minute, the visitors led 22-0 and a record win was in the offing.
But with 11 of the last 16 sets of possession in the first half, the Raiders narrowed the gap to 22-10 at the interval and then moved to within one converted try of the Roosters when Schifcofske scored in the 59th minute.
Cross again injected himself into the game to lay on a 64th-minute try for winger Hegarty and, despite Brad Drew's almost immediate reply, the home side could not reel in the Roosters.
"It's been a bit like that all year, we get ourselves back in position and let ourselves down," Schifcofske said.

Time Warner to Trial Pay-Per-Use Broadband
Time Warner is testing a plan that could end flat-rate monthly broadband subscriptions.
The second-largest Internet service provider in the US, Time Warner will soon launch a trial in the Beaumont, Texas market with four different prices for those downloading up to 5, 10, 20 or 40 gigabytes each month. They chose Beaumont randomly and say the area doesn't have a specific problem with heavy broadband use.
A spokesman said it was a possible way to tackle the problem of light users effectively subsidising those who use the Internet more often. "What we're trying to accomplish is to create a network that serves our customers equally; not one that is serving a very small number that are using a disproportionate amount at the cost of the vast majority of our users." (Source: kansascity.com)
One report says around five per cent of Time Warner's customers are responsible for half of the company's total traffic. (Source: enews20.com)
Though there have been reports of file-sharing programs causing bandwidth problems for some Internet providers, Time Warner insist that's not a problem for them. They say the trial is intended to resolve the issue now rather than wait until it gets out of hand. It's thought the growth of online video may speed up the problem.
Rival firm Comcast caused controversy last year when they cut off several customers for excessive use. Some of those affected had downloaded over 500 gigabytes a month, the equivalent of more than 60 DVD movies. Though Comcast didn't announce a specific limit, they said the crackdown was on customers downloading over 100 times more data than the average customer.
The Time Warner plan would mean heavy users pay extra fees rather than losing service altogether. The scheme could be seen as fairer pricing and, by discouraging bandwidth-hogging 'excessive' use, could speed up access for the average user.

text: AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, December 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- uniQure B.V., a leader in the field of human gene therapy, today announced a non-exclusive cross-licensing agreement with Benitec Biopharma Ltd. (ASX: BLT) giving uniQure access to Benitec's proprietary DNA-directed RNA interference (ddRNAi) technology in Huntington's disease. In return, uniQure granted Benitec non-exclusive access to the Company's AAV5 delivery technology for the development of a ddRNAi therapy for Hepatitis B. "The cross-licensing agreement with Benitec fully capitalizes on the strength of our advanced AAV platform and our proven ability to deliver therapeutic genes to target cells with high accuracy and efficacy," says Jörn Aldag, CEO of uniQure. "The agreement with Benitec opens up promising new avenues to develop therapies for high unmet medical needs such as Huntington's disease. While our current programs focus on delivering fully functioning therapeutic genes to remedy faulty or malfunctioning genes, Benitec's ddRNAi technology will allow us to do the opposite - to 'silence' the gene responsible for producing the mutant protein that lies at the basis of Huntington's disease, and to develop a therapy for this devastating disease." Dr Peter French, CEO of Benitec Biopharma, commented, "Benitec Biopharma is very pleased to have executed this licensing agreement with uniQure, the first company to achieve market approval for a gene therapy product, Glybera, in the West. uniQure have demonstrated their unique ability to take gene therapy-based programs from pre-clinical stages to commercialization, and we are confident that they will be able to achieve a similar outcome in this program. Importantly this agreement also provides Benitec access to uniQure's AAV delivery technology enabling further development of our ddRNAi treatment for Hepatitis B." About Huntington's disease Huntington's disease (HD) is a rare, chronic, incurable, progressive and disabling neurological condition, which continues to challenge the medical community. About 30,000 Americans (or 1 in 10,000 people) have Huntington's disease and at least 150,000 individuals have a 50% chance of inheriting the disease. The symptoms of HD become most evident in adulthood, typically 30 to 55 years, characterized by sudden, abnormal, and uncontrolled jerky movements called chorea. Currently, therapeutics for HD are limited only to symptomatic treatments and there are no treatment options with proven safety and efficacy to slow down disease progression or enhance survival rate.


text: So i recently thru a p1400 code. Fuel tank pressure control solenoid failure or short. So i do all my own work usually but I can't seem to find anything on iwsti or on this website that pertains to this particular code. I have gone to numerous shops and have been told 6 different things. One of these things are that the solenoid is on the top of the tank and the tank needs to be dropped, therefore the rear diff has to be dropped as well. is this true? If anyone has a minute to bs with me about this it would be greatly appreciated. So far the quotes have reached 908 big ones so I'm really trying to do this myself if i can. Thanks in advance

There are a few clues to help you best determine if you have a maladaptive relationship with food that you are passing on to your children. The most important key is to look at how you feel when your child is not eating the way you believe they should.
If your child is a picky eater, and you worry that he/she is not getting enough nutrients, that is a normal response. When you worry about your child getting all the nutrients they need, thinking tends to go along the lines of, "how can I increase the amount of fresh green vegetables my child eats" and you do things like look on websites and talk to other moms about recipes and presentation and stuff like that that might entice your child to eat more of whatever you think it is they need to be eating. You may also think about whether you should give your child supplements, etc, and if so, what would be the best kind, etc. The point is that worry and anxiety for the child are motivating your behavior.
If your child is a picky eater and you are feeling resentful or frustrated or downright angry that your child is not eating how and what you think they should be eating, that is a clue that something maladaptive is going on in your thinking. It is perfectly alright to have a maladaptive relationship with food - in fact, in western culture, its pretty darn hard not to. What you want to strive for is to bring awareness to what belongs to you, what is your stuff, so that you can make decisions based on the needs of your child and not on your own messed up thinking about food.
My kids aren't actually picky. They eat what is put in front of them. They have some preferences, which I'm fine with catering to--not everyone has to like bell peppers. So I don't think I am creating food issues. We don't have food battles.
But I cook one meal and I put it on the table. If you refuse to eat it that is not my problem. My kids will eat plenty during the rest of the day. I just don't stress over it. But I am a total hard ass about not doing the short order cook thing. I think it is incredibly disrespectful. I guess that's a problem on my end. Oh well.
My advice may not be appropriate for you. That's ok. You are just fine how you are and I am the right kind of me.
At the risk of seeming like I'm being contrary to everyone on this thread, picky eating is unique to simple (and limited) food aversions. Parents who deal with it have more complicated issues to contemplate than feeding a child who eats most things put in front of them.

So I think we're getting stuck on my use of the word "maladaptive." To me, "maladaptive" isn't a dirty word that means manipulation. (As an aside, I am doubtful that there is really such thing as manipulation as we typically understand it - but that is a whole other topic).
I define maladaptive as a set of behaviors resulting from values or beliefs that do not assist or support healthy emotional experiences. The process is mainly unconscious, or partially conscious, and is rarely intentionally manipulative. Every single one of us has some maladaptive behavior. It is not something to chastise ourselves about, or feel badly about, or deny, or fear.
Because maladaptive responses can be so hidden, and often they are accepted behaviors culturally and socially, it can be useful to look for clues as to when your responses are maladaptive (e.g. not promoting healthy responses). Whatever emotion you feel is one that you can be grateful for, as it is simply just like the gauge on your car's dashboard - "ah, I see my oil is running low; I should take a closer look at what is going on there." "Ah, I see I am feeling really frustrated that my child won't eat this meatloaf that I spent two hours preparing; I should take a closer look here at what might be really going on with me."
The tendency with maladaptive behaviors is that to us they feel so normal, that it must be other person who is doing something wrong. If I'm getting upset that my child will not eat what I have prepared, there must be something not quite right with my child.
I think you are saying that frustration can be a healthy, non-maladaptive indicator that a situation is simply frustrating, and even the epitome of emotional health would be frustrated. That frustration is a normal part of the human experience and doesn't indicate some deep underlying messed up thinking.
I think I made a mistake in implying that there was a sharp distinction between adaptive and maladaptive, a single, dark line that on one side is healthy and unhealthy on the other. Its not like that at all. For me, thinking in terms of authenticity and center are most helpful.
Some emotions are more authentic than others. Frustration, to me, is not the most authentic emotion. It always follows another emotion, something that lasted a split second, something that is usually either fear or grief. Fear and grief are more authentic than frustration. When I feel frustration, I know I need to look further to see what is behind that. If I have worked hard on a meal and my child rejects it, my first reaction, the more authentic reaction, is probably grief (in our culture as women it could also be fear; fear that we have failed to meet some standard regarding mothering a household).
Besides authenticity, center is the second element I like to look at. All of us lean one way or another when our needs are not met or our values are challenged. One common way to lean is in the direction of neurosis (there must be something wrong with me). Another common way to lean is in the direction of personality disorder (there must be something wrong with you). Other directions people can lean in include fantasy/non-reality (towards psychosis) and avoidance (drugs/alcohol). When a person has leaned far enough in one direction that it is impacting their functioning, mood, health, or relationships, sometimes they qualify for a diagnosis. There are things besides our basic beliefs and values which cause us to lean more, like stress. Parenting is often hard and causes us to lean more. Noticing when we are off center and aiming for center is healthy.
Just because you are feeling frustration doesn't mean you HAVE to address it. For example, yesterday I was trying to move the swivel hook for my child's tire swing from the end of the swinq where I had mistakenly placed it to the center of swing, where she would have full range to go around in circles without smashing into the supports. My first drill battery went poop after about 3 seconds. I climbed down the ladder, got a second battery from the charger, climbed back up. The second battery went poop after about 60 seconds. I climbed back down the ladder, got the third battery which was supposed to have been charged but was not, I found out, once I got to the top of the ladder again. I thought, "what a bunch of peckerheaded batteries can't even hold a *damn charge for freakin two seconds cost way more than the damn drill itself this swing is stupid she'll never even use it anyway and I am DONE." I was frustrated. I could have taken a closer look at my frustration and would probably have found some beliefs to challenge, not the least of which would have been "I am an incompetent single mom who can't even put up a swing for my child" but sometimes it is just more fun to feel frustrated. Not everything requires deep analysis.
But when dinnertime is a repeated hell, when a child has been sitting at the table for two hours trying to eat a bite of meat, when bribes and punishments have been used to no avail, it is time to find authenticity and to find center. Its also time to stop looking at the child and look at what is going on inside yourself.
I totally agree. Feelings aren't wrong or right, they just are.
my post ... was addressing the issue of whether showing frustration (or being frustrated) is an indicator of manipulation.
I didn't mean that it was an indicator of manipulation. I did mean that it was an indicator that there are probably some maladaptive beliefs and values going on that one could, or could not, choose to look at, aiming for center and aiming for authenticity. I do understand that you think frustration is a primary emotion that in itself is not indicative of anything. There are a lot of people who would agree with you, and some research to support that belief. There is also some research that supports the idea that it is not a primary emotion, but secondary to another emotion which would benefit from some attention to. I think its fine to believe what you believe; I'm not all that invested in it one way or another.
Needing to be appreciated is just one of several possibilities that might be underlying the frustration. Its good to know, don't you think? Awareness is good. Then you can get a better picture of whether its you who needs to change, or the child.
Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it.
Aw...crap! I read the word "maladaptive" as "manipulative"....so my whole response is in reference to that. But, looking forward to reading and responding 'cuz it looks like a great reply.

Well, that would be way off topic but I'd love to hear more about that, for sure!
Ok, I think I get what you're saying here. I DO use a gauge for how I'm doing generally, which is the car. I know that when I'm off or running low on patience and perspective, I get can get a bit irritated with other drivers. Funny that you gave the car analogy and my gauge has to do with a car.
I can totally see what you're saying, too, when it comes to kids. There are definitely times when...yes, probably ALL times when I'm frustrated that it has to do with other things too.
Yes, I suppose so. Though I can think of a few folks I know who are rarely frustrated - seems a nice goal.
I am vaguely familiar with the concept of primary and secondary emotions. While it's an idea that looks good to me on paper, it isn't something that I have found that useful...perhaps an argument could be made that I'm not that good at isolating my emotions.
YES! I suppose rather than feeling like frustration is a primary or secondary emotion -- it's an emotion I suppose I kind of like in the grand scheme of things. I think it's one my family can relate to and it's one that is non-threatening. It does feel very pure to me and non-judgmental. It is rarely one that is loaded with other stuff.
Yes, I agree. And I do know women for whom I could see this being an issue, for sure.
Thank you for your response. I really appreciate it.
Yea, me too! Sorry for my mis-read. I'm BFing a toddler and brain function is a bit sllloooowww...

Consumer New Zealand says only one trampoline out of five it's tested has met critical safety checks.
The brands were tested based on the Australian standard, which Consumer says is more up-to-date than the kiwi version.
Only the Springfree R54 passed the impact tests, which tested the risk of brain injury from a child's head colliding with the safety padding above the frame.
Consumer Chief Executive Sue Chetwin says the poor results show the voluntary standards for trampolines isn't working.
She says a mandatory standard is necessary if New Zealand is serious about reducing the number of trampoline-related injuries.


text: I have a knocking noise in the front end going over and bump other than a very mild one. The dealer loosened up the struts and turned the bushings around and tightened them down and said it was fixed. I drove it around the lot and saw it wasnt, then they tried to say it was "normal and in spec". It isnt handling funny or anything, its just making a repeative knock when traveling over a good sized bump. It reminds me of the issue GM trucks and SUVs had for years and years with the steering shaft. It sounds like its in the drivers side front and its quite loud and embarrasing. Im not going to go taking the car apart myself especially since its under warranty, but also because at this point I cant see myself owning it much longer. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Markovs (sp?) restaurant/bar

Back in the 70's, my family would drive from Dayton to eat at Markovs. Not sure of the spelling. There was a bar as well. They had the best chicken I ever ate, great cole slaw. The chickens were raised out back. Does anyone know if it still exists?
#2 Mar 29, 2010
Mike Markov died years ago and his wife ran it for quite a while. I was back there for a funeral in nov. 08. The building was still there but I don't know if it was open or not. I drove tractor trailers back there and most of our company was there every Sat nite for chicken dinners and a few beers! Ah the good old days!
#3 Mar 29, 2010
How sad to hear that it is no longer in operation and that he has passed on. They should have franchised it. He had a great recipe for chicken. I'd love to find out what the seasoning was made from. Thanks for the info.

Now called Taylors Tavern ...I live in Enon, so it's close to my house. They have an outdoor patio now, with a bar outside, and a little fire pit and a stage back there for live music. Very nice.
I have never eaten there so I can't comment on the food, but my husband works in Enon, and he said several people he works with goes everyday to eat lunch there.
#5 Apr 27, 2010
my adopted parents, Mary and Joe Markov ran the place with Joe's brother Mike until Joe passed away in 1960. Joe and Mary also had a bar in downtown Dayton, Ohio. Mary sold out to Mike and he continued to run the restaurant in Enon. The last time I ate there was in about 1981 and the chicken was - and is - the best I ever had. I had the luxury of living at home with Mary until 1975 and she still made the chicken with the recipe that was so famous at Markov's. I'm 55 now and I miss those days very much.
#6 Aug 1, 2010
You wouldn't happen to have the recipe would you?
#7 Aug 4, 2010
Me too,
Do you have it?
#8 Aug 6, 2010
I grew up in Springfield and we were there for a chicken dinner practically every weekend. I was sad when I heard they'd closed. I don't know whether it's true, but if you don't have the recipes, I think I remember someone telling me that Mary had shared her recipes with Connie (of Bruce and Connie - don't want to use any last names here).
#9 Aug 6, 2010
Any Idea if the signs are still around???
#10 Aug 12, 2010
The chicken sign is still there. :)

#11 Jan 26, 2011
I know where to find the recipe for the chicken - my husband is Chris Clark and when Ruby Markov passed the restrurant to daughter Becky Clark and then after Becky passed in 2000 - we sold it. but Tracy, Susan and Chris know the recipe. I'll ask
#12 Jan 27, 2011
I didn't know Joe or Mary, but interesting to find out about you. I am Mike and Ruby's granddaughter.
#13 Jan 27, 2011
try this for the sign. If not google, and you can see on flicker.
#15 Feb 8, 2012
This was a every Saturday meal for our family. Sometimes more than once a week. Was always driving around back to pck up dinner. Mother always wanted the backs. If anyone should have this recipe, could you please share. Would do anything for a Markov's Chicken Fix :)
Thank you,
[email protected]
#16 Dec 8, 2012
How can get the recipe,I would love to try to make it,and the best cole slaw,would love to have that is the south.anyone with infor let me know [email protected]
#18 Aug 25, 2014
Markovs Resturant belonged to my Grandparents. My grandfather passed away in 1975. My grandmother (Ruby) passed away in 2000. It was auctioned off couple years later and reopened as taylors tavern.

Oh Stan! Markov's was a big part of my childhood. When I was three My grandpa sent me in to the kitchen to compliment Mike.(1969). My family celebrated all the milestones there. I had my wedding rehearsal dinner there. I can close my eyes and see the tablecloths, the picture of the Kennedy motorcade, Neil Armstrong. If I was good I would get a pack of Teaberry or Rainblo gum. I can make the cole slaw, but can't come close to the chicken.
#20 Jan 12, 2015
Taylor's Tavern chicken taste just like Markov's only Mary didn't shit in hers.
#22 Nov 3, 2015
I grew up in Springfield. The family used to go there every so often back in the late 50's, early 60's. I remember the chicken being the best I ever had. My Aunt and Uncle owned the Pinewood on Lagonda Ave., my Grandma had a paper hanging business, and a small general store off Lagonda. Such good memories when we would get together for chicken dinner at Markov's.
#23 Nov 4, 2015
Very interesting! Was the Pinewood a bar or restaurant? Maybe where Dick's cafe used to be? Where was the store?

Mt. Pleasant's Quilt Patch Etc. participates in 15th annual Shop Hop
More than 600 quilters visited Quilt Patch Etc. in Mt. Pleasant recently for the 2013 Western Pennsylvania Shop Hop – a four-day event that draws those who practice the craft from across the region.
Currently located on West Main Street in the Borough, the shop, which has existed at various other locations since 1995, has always participated in the event.
"It's a lot of fun," shop owner and Acme resident Becca Flack said. "We get to meet such nice people."
The Shop Hop, in its 15th year, is an annual event that encourages crafters to visit a variety of different quilting shops.
"You go from shop to shop and check out the different stores," said Heather Sager, a Greensburg resident who works at Quilt Patch Etc.
"It's gives people the chance to meet the shop owners and browse their merchandise," she said.
At each of the 10 participating shops, individuals receive a different pattern block that can be put together after the event to form a complete pattern for a progressive quilt.
"I love it. Every shop has something different. It's inspiring," said event participant Sue Sebastian, who came from the North Hills to participate.
Participants purchase a $5 "passport" that is stamped at each shop.
When the passport is complete, participants are entered in a drawing to receive a grand prize – a quilting weekend retreat for four at Seams Like Home in Vanderbilt. "We think the prize is a nice incentive," said Donna Eicher, owner of the Bed and Breakfast, "And it's good advertisement for us — it's a win-win situation."
Giveaways and gifts are awarded daily from each individual shop, and each participant receives a gift bag which, in addition to the shop's quilt block pattern, also includes charm squares, fabric and coupons.
Refreshments are served at each location.
This year's Shop Hop theme was "Into the Forest," and each shop proprietor completed an example quilt to display containing woodland creatures in a forest setting.
A pattern was distributed to each shop but, as quilting is a creative experience, "every quilter has (his or her) own variation," Flack said.
As long as all of the elements are included, two quilts designed from the same pattern can look very different, Flack said.
After the Shop Hop, Flack plans to donate her quilt to the Laurel Highland Coon Hunt Club to be auctioned off as a fundraiser.
"We're a full-service quilt shop," Flack said, "We sell new quilts, repair old ones, finish designs and sell supplies."
Flack offers a variety of classes year-round at Quilt Patch, Etc.

After experiencing a substantial and continuous intensification of samvega over the last year, I decided last week to finally book a ticket to Sri Lanka to visit a few monasteries as potential places to ordain at. The plan is to visit Meetirigala, Pothgulgala and possibly Na Uyana for 3 weeks total to find out what monastic life in Asia is like and see if this path is really right for me, come back to England, and then possibly return next year with the goal of ordaining. Then after visiting Amaravati (near London) last weekend, I thought that perhaps Thailand, specifically Wat Pah Nanachat, ought to also be considered as an option. Is anybody familiar with the differences with regard to monastic life between the two countries? As far as I found out online, in Sri Lanka there is more emphasis on study, one cannot re-ordain, and there seems to be more austerity than in Thailand. Are there other significant differences? Would it in your opinion be enough to visit a few monasteries in Sri Lanka only rather than to "shop around" various countries? Specifically, I am concerned about getting by as someone who doesn't speak the local language, how stable the monastic systems are in the two countries (i.e. resiliency to political instability), and how the ordination procedures and rules & daily schedules compare.
Many thanks,

Wow I hope some of you made it to steamboat this weekend, it was a great time! I would say about 40% of the cars up there driving around were sick Subaru's, and the rally was awesome! Travis Pastrona and Ken Block were there and we were able to hang out and talk with them for a bit, my buddy with the orange STi had his seats signed by TP and Block, we got to cruise with hundreds of sick cars well over the speed limits in the mountain roads without any trouble from the cops, All and all, it was worth the drive!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Hi guys, I am ready to buy one and I have found a good deal for Nitro Uberspoon. I read great reviews about it and sounds like a great all round board. My only complaint would be the camber, even though it is a new profile, different than traditional camber boards.
It's not that I hate camber, but I want to try rocker so bad after reading about it all these years. Any thoughts?
that pretty much sums up the raygun
you could get anything from 154-158 and be alright. only slight differences in deep pow with shorter boards.
One of the reasons I was considering the Raygun is that I read that even though it is a cheap board meant for advanced riders, it can be enjoyed by riders of all levels.
Another question is the size of the new board. My old one was 158, and even though I thought it was going to be long, it never felt so. I always thought that my next board would be a tad shorter, but I am not sure if this will heavily affect pow riding, considering the rocker shape of the new one and that I am bit heavier now.
The raygun will be a fun snowboard, and good for coming back from a break but might be a little boring or soft once you get back in the swing of things.
the doa and machete are true twin and more on the freestyle side of things. you loose some pow float that you would get from a directional board.
look at the salomon time machine, flow drifter, or ride wild life if you want to step up from the raygun without stepping up too much in price. They are all different camber profiles and the ride is the stiffest out of the three. The salomon will ride most similar to the strike.
New board
Hi guys, I am new here and looking for advice on a new stick. I have been snowboarding for many years on and off, but I have 0 days the last 3 years due to living in the Netherlands. I am 5'10'' and weigh 168 pounds and I would say I am an advanced rider who enjoys pow, tree lines, natural features and when that's not possible I just want to have fun around the mountain; almost no park, no hard charging.
My last board was a Flow Strike, which is really banged up so I am looking to replace it. I will keep my old bindings and boots which are Raiden Blackhawks and Northwave Legends respectively. I was initially eyeying the K2 Raygun which should be similar flex wise to my old board and plus is a rocker which is something I want to try, but I am having second thoughts now and thinking that maybe I should be looking at something a bit more advanced (I found some good deals for Capita DOA or Ride Machete for example). Thing is that the best case scenario for me is two trips of 5-6 days max per year, so I am not sure if it is worth it and I should just stick with a Raygun.
What would you do? Any other suggestions for boards that would suit me?

Less than a week before launch, Samsung has teased the Galaxy Tab 4 Nook in a video that sees Nook fans wax lyrical on the device's merits.
Comments include: "This is absolutely amazing!" "This is so awesome" and "I like it."
Looks like the device is a hit, then. Though let's take these reviews with a pinch of salt, seeing as it is an advert. And each participant was given a Nook in exchange for their time, the disclaimer at the end of the ad notes, so they were effectively paid to sound enthusiastic.
Internet meme Grumpy Cat even makes an appearance, though the most he can muster is a caption that reads: "I don't hate it".
The Galaxy Tab 4 Nook will launch on August 20.
It's expected to have a focus on eReading, though it's not known exactly how it will differ from other tablets.
The device will have a 7-inch screen, but that's all we know for definite. Though it's safe to assume it will have the same 1,280 x 800-pixel resolution as the Galaxy Tab 4 7.0. We also expect Android KitKat to come as standard, though possibly with some kind of Barnes & Noble skin over the top.
Barnes & Noble killed off its Nook eReader recently. Sony also announced it would no longer make eReaders.
The Tab 4 Nook will go on sale in the US this month, though no date has been set for a UK release. We'll bring you more news as we get it.

An Appeal to Two Troubled Communities
Eugene Borowitz, September 21, 1979
A rift between the black community and the Jewish community has erupted over the resignation of Ambassador Andrew Young.

3 Food Companies That You Could Consider Buying
Posted by: vinaysingh (IP Logged)
Date: April 26, 2014 05:43PM
The snack food industry includes some companies that have been delivering great results and are also expected to grow well. Moreover, consumer spending in U.S. has been increasing, rising 0.7% for the month of December. Also, hopes for 2014 have been on the rise since global retail sales grew 5.4% for the three months through November. In order to ride this uptrend, one should select the most profitable company to maximize investor gains.
One of the most interesting players is J&J Snack Foods (JJSF) , which has been a great company to watch. Not only did the company perform well, it also provided reasons to believe in its future, as indicated by its last updated outlook.
Reasons to believe
The acquisitions of Kim & Scott's Gourmet Pretzels and California Churros enabled J&J Snack Foods to enhance its pretzels and churros operations, respectively. Hence, revenue from these categories surged by 20% and 22%, respectively, for fiscal 2013.
Also, the snack maker is focused on widening its product portfolio and plans to expand its footprint. Therefore, J&J recently acquired New York Pretzel, which allows it to offer a wide variety of pretzels to its customers in the Northeast region.
On the other hand, Mondelez International (MDLZ) is having a tough time as biscuit demand in China has weakened and coffee prices have declined. These factors affected its revenue in the last quarter. Despite the problems that the company faced, Mondelez posted a top-line increase of 2% over the prior year's quarter. Also, the company has been trying to expand its reach in the emerging markets, which should increase its revenue further. For instance, it recently announced a plan to invest approximately $200 million in India in order to build a large chocolate manufacturing plant.

Both J&J Snack Foods and Mondelez International have performed equally well in terms of providing returns to their investors over the last year. However, peer TreeHouse Foods(THS) and Bridgford Foods have not been able to match up to the two players in terms of stock price.
Nonetheless, both the players have been good performers, providing returns of more than 20%. With stock price appreciation of 22.2%, Bridgford Foods has performed remarkably well. This is mainly because the company increased the price of its products and expanded their distribution. Also, it entered into a distribution deal with Golden Flake Food. Moreover, its growing relationships with Wal-Mart and Dollar General should prove to be beneficial.
TreeHouse has also provided a return of 20.7%. It has been trying to grow by acquiring other businesses. After strengthening its mayonnaise and salad dressing division last year, through the acquisition of Cains Foods, it made another acquisition. In October last year, TreeHouse bought Associated Brands which makes powdered beverages and specialty teas. The company now plans to expand the specialty tea division which will attract health conscious people. Therefore, its future prospects look bright.
All the companies have been increasing their top lines through various means. J&J Snack Foods and TreeHouse Foods have resorted to an acquisition strategy, whereas Mondelez has been strengthening its presence in the emerging markets. Bridgford, too, has made a number of efforts to grow such as expanding its product lines alongside its distribution networks. Hence, investing in any of these food providers should be rewarding.

Rodriguez Designated for Assignment, Ciriaco Recalled
Rodriguez has been designated for assignment.
Following up on the waiver claim of Brandon Wood, the Pittsburgh Pirates have designated Josh Rodriguez for assignment, and have recalled Pedro Ciriaco, the team announced today. As Colin Dunlap mentions, Ciriaco is likely up just to fill the roster spot until Wood arrives with the team.
As for Rodriguez, he will be placed on waivers. If he clears waivers, the Pirates have to offer him back to the Cleveland Indians. They can try to work out a deal to keep him, although Cleveland has indicated in the past that they would accept him back.

Solar-Powered Giant Robot Performs Daily Police Work
A giant robot brings traffic order to an African capital.
What's big, metallic, and changing the way people think about their driving habits? It isn't just your every day traffic light. In Kinshasa, the capital city of Congo, a new sheriff is in town: a robot that functions like a human traffic cop, creating a surprisingly effective way of doing a traffic cop's dangerous work in a country that's strapped for cash. Aside from displaying 'stop' and 'go' signals, the robot also is equipped with two cameras that can capture traffic violations and efficiently issue tickets, as well as passively monitor traffic flow. "We are a poor country and our government is looking for money. And I will tell you that with the roads the government has built, it needs to recover its money," said its inventor, a woman named Isaie Therese who works with her team and prototypes the machines by hand out of the Kinshasa Higher Institute of Applied Techniques.
Not only that, but the anthropomorphic robot, which reportedly stands over eight feet tall, seems to work better than its human counterparts for ensuring driver compliance. Commuter Demouto Mutombo told CCTV Africa through an interpreter: "As a motorcyclist I'm very happy with the robot's work. Because when the traffic police control the cars here there's still a lot of traffic. But since the robot arrived, we see truly that the commuters are respectful." Other people interviewed were more skeptical, saying that it simply can't follow up on accidents or aggressive driving as quickly as a human cop.
Therese, however, seems to delight in the robot's subtle, even passive-aggressive, approach: "If a driver says that he is not going to respect the robot because it is just a machine, the robot is going to take that and there will be a ticket for him," she said on CCTV Africa. See a video of the robot in motion below:

Clunking after putting on Meyle HD control arms and bushings

Just did the Meyle HD Arms/wishbones HD FCABS , tie rods/boots and new sway bar end links. The Meyle HD arms are FANTASTIC!
Your problem is most definitely the sway bar end links. Hopefully you replaced em when you had the wishbones and everything else out..
Your sway bar end links may either be shot or just loose. I remember even my stock shocks and end links needed washers because the threading was much longer than the thickness of the mounting point on the shocks. If you dont have the washer on there, you would tighten the end link all the way down but it would rattle because it wouldnt be actually tight on the shocks mounting point. I hope that makes sense.
Here's another scenario that you could have;
Depending on your suspension set up, the bottom of the sway bar end link may bang the MEYLE control arm! Remove the wheel and look for nicks on the control arm right below where the sway bar connects to the sway bar end links. This happened to me. If your lowered your ride or are no longer using the OE suspension you will need adjustable length sway bar end links and may need to shorten them 1-3 inches shorter than the stock length to avoid the bottom sway bar end link ball joint banging the control arm.
If you cant get the adjustable end links soon or dont want to, you can rig something like I did to artificially shorten them so nothing bangs.
Here's what I did:
I cut a 2x 4" long x 2" Wide 1/4" thick galvanized steel plates.
I drilled 2 holes in each of the steel plates. One hole on the top of the plate, one hole on the bottom of the plate. The drilled holes are the exact same size as the stud in the sway bar end links.
I then purchased 1.5" long bolts the same thickness of the sway bar end link studs along with some lock washers, fender washers and of course corresponding bolts.
I bolted one bar to each shock using the lock washers. I bolted the bars facing upwards to the part on the shock where the sway bar end link would normally connect to the front shock.
After the bar was bolted on, I then drilled an additional small hole through both the galvanized steel plate and the shocks "sway bar end link mounting plate" right next to where the sway bar end link would normally bolt to the shock.
This then allows you to connect the sway bar end link about 3 inches higher than It would normally bolt to , to avoid the bottom of the end link from smacking the control arm. The additional small hole described above prevents the galvanized plate from spinning because there are now 2 bolt holes instead of one.

Do you have a lot of great ideas and plans but can't seem to be organized or focused enough to get them off the ground? Are you easily distracted?
Do you have difficulty controlling your impulses? Is this causing you trouble with alcohol, drugs, binge eating, or other compulsive behaviors?
Do you tend to feel things more deeply than other people? Do challenging situations in life throw you for a loop, when other people seem to handle them without much trouble? Have people frequently told you, "You're too sensitive?" Are you prone to anxiety or depression and can't seem to manage your emotions in a way that allows you to lead a happy life? Perhaps you are also extremely sensitive physically, with a condition such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, frequent colds and flus, or allergies.
Are any of these issues causing you problems in your relationships? Are your family and friends expressing concern?
You deserve happiness, balance, peace, and fulfillment in your life, and I'm here to help.

Then you'll be more able to set goals and break these down into manageable action steps.

Moving beyond destructive habits is vital, but it's only the first step. My purpose is to help you develop and maintain excellent emotional and physical health, and to experience fulfilling relationships with your family, friends, business associates, and people in general. In addition, I am passionate about helping you discover and pursue your specific goals, be they personal or professional. We all have specific talents and goals, but sometimes it can be difficult to recognize these and figure out a game plan to bring them to fruition.

Together we can help you to clarify what factors in your life are and aren't working for you.

Superior Energy eliminates dividend
March 31 (Reuters) - Oilfield services provider Superior Energy Services Inc said it approved the elimination of its quarterly dividend as it looks to shore up its finances amid a prolonged oil price slump that has severely reduced spending by oil producers.
The company's executive officers have all taken reduced base salaries, Chief Executive David Dunlap said in a statement on Thursday.
The company had been paying a quarterly dividend of 8 cents per share until last month. (Reporting by Amrutha Gayathri in Bengaluru; Editing by Shounak Dasgupta)

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I was having the same dilemma just two days ago. I ended up keeping the contrabands. The contrabands are lighter than the 390s. Between both canted foot beds, no doubt the wedgies are the best. The have those gel inserts at the front and back, as well as having the whole foot bed only being one piece. To be honest, since the 390s have a feature that pulls the ankle strap out, I believe those would be quicker to strap in, seeing as the ankle strap on the contrabands flops in. EVERYONE was telling me to go for the 390s, but I just tried to do my own thing. The contrabands look sick on my board, are extremely lightweight, have the best canted foot bed, new innovation, and it's worth the try. As long as you have them set up properly, you should love them. Try them, and if you don't like them, you know what to steer clear from.
Contras come with wedgies...
Go for them. They'll match up well with the Artifact
conrebands and 390 bosses
so what are the main differences between contraband and 390 boss. I know 390 boss has the yes i cant pads and contraband has the wedgies pads that you can buy. Also i know the 390 boss has the asymmetrical highback but i dont get what they do entirely. And obviously the contraband has the single ratchet thing. Also I'd like to know which bindings are more flexible.
I need the binding thats pure park b/c i have a freeride set and my new board is the artifact so this set up is strictly park. Im planning on doing more jibs and rails this season. I'm kind of leaning toward the contrabands because they are $30 cheaper but idk yet.
yea and i spelled contrabands wrong in the title my bad

Couple nights ago, a group of cool cats met up for some cruising, and a bit of friendly competition. Heres 2 videos, one of our 04 automatic WRX stock, Vs. a late 80's Z28 305-V8 camaro automatic, and one of our forum members "cuztom15" GT35R equipped STi racing our friends 2000 Z28 LS1 Camaro automatic.
WTF all autos cept the STI? I guess when the price is right we get sucked in. Anyway heres the videos, nothing spectacular but enjoy.

Put this together for video editing class as a final project. Done with Final Cut Pro. The assignment was to take existing videos and "re-appropriate" them to deliver a totally new message. So I took footage from the film "Baraka" and advertisements I found on Youtube to create this music video for Faithless' song "In the End." I hope you enjoy!
My baby was born in a bed
With white sheets, machines and heat
Traveled home in a car to a three room nest, eats and sleeps
Laminate flooring to crawl on, TV,
Talks, starts to walk, amongst love and security.
Goes to school, learns to read and write
Probably follows a team with his friends
And gets to ride the train,
Fall in love, probably fly on a plane
Get to work all week and spend what he earns
On the high street
He's got doctors, nurses, fireman, churches,
Kindergarten, wedding bells and jet black hearses
Passport, bankcard, maybe his own yard
Locks and alarms, trinkets and charms,
Maybe a baby in his arms
[Maxi Jazz]
My baby was born on his knees
One of poverty 's offspring
Came into the world coughing,
Already full of mother's disease
Went back to a flat, with no gas, no cash,
Rapped in a duvet full of cigarette ash,
Mama can't get no sleep,
Baby never quite get enough to eat.
Goes to school, learns to steal and fight,
Probably form a team with his friends,
Go steam those trains
Fall in love and never trust nobody again
Gets to work all week standing on the high street for Joe, Hustling blow, hustling blow.
