Waiting For God Classic TV Show
Waiting For God Fan Tributes13 John Sposato from Syracuse, NY, USA: The show actually ran until fall 1994.
Crowden passed on last October. He is missed.
Thought of getting the series one DVD but its too early days for me.
Few PBS stations air the show anymore. Mine stopped after seven years time ages ago. The library had the DVDs so I was able to see everyone at Bayview again.
If theres ever a US version, it'd be set in Florida as its full of over-60s, especially on the East Coast! Still, you can never repeat the magic of the original, can you?
I wasn't sure if the show was filmed at BBC House, but I know some of it was done about 90 miles west in Farmoor, Oxfordshire, not Bournemouth, Dorset.
I've got a tape of two Series 2 episodes I got from the local PBS franchise after paying towards their pledge drive. Shows the limit of VHS! How times have changed!
Its hard to choose a favourite moment. So much of it was a right laugh. Dianas a curmudgeon, but you can't help but love her!
12 kate from oklahoma city USA: Just started watching the show on late nite PBS. Love it. I'm now 73 and want to be Diana and say exactly what I thing, and damn the torpedos!! Hope they both are alive and having a ball!
11 Twyla from Arizona: Does anyone know if Janine Duvitski who played "jane" was pregnant in real life during season 4 of the show?
10 Tamela Payne from Lynwood, California: I saw that people are asking for Waiting for God on DVD. Well, I saw on a website, when I was looking this up, that Amazon.com, has this on DVD. You might find what you are looking for, and I do love the show on KOCE channel 50. I think the show is great and everyone on it. Especially Harvey.
9 Mary from Ireland: Absolutely love this show, favourite episode is when harvey proposes to jane the first time and she rejects him brilliant especial about the silent p.
8 eviltwin from north carolina, USA: this is one of the best shows i have ever watched! i wished they would put it out on dvd! i would love to own the whole thing!! Harvey is the kewlest ever! I love how Jane adores him, i know i do as well!!
7 patricia mclaughlin from hampshire: I heartily concur with Dr Owen and his wife. The first time the series was shown I managed to record most of it. I played it almost every night as I prefer to watch something humerous before I retire. But the tapes have been played so many times that they broke. Fortunately, I have managed to record most of the current showing, except when I had to go on holiday. If I had known that this was to be shown then I would have changed my holiday dates. Please, please, could we have prior notice when, hopefully, the series is to be repeated or episodes shown - in the Sky mag perhaps.
6 Dexter Robinson from USA: This is my favorite British comedy series - several PBS stations have shown it over here. Would love to see the entire series available on DVD. Public library has a few episodes on VHS. I have about 30 "choice" MP3 audio snippets saved on CD that I have enjoyed playing for friends. The acting and writing are terrific!
5 Wanda Strong from USA: I would also like to add that Daniel Hill has fans in the US also. We do have a fan club on Web for him and would like to see more of him too.
4 Rosemary Roberts from Essex: I love the fact that Daniel Hill does such a wonderful rendition of Tony Blair before Tony Blair had even been heard of. I would like to see more of him (Hill, that is).
3 pat marsh from north wales: My two sons never miss waiting for god they like it when havey is pull down a peg or two my youngest son loves the tune to it as well long live waiting for god
2 Wanda Strong from USA: I have seen Waiting For God on our PBS station. I found this website, and thought I would tell you, that I think that Waiting For God is one of the best ones that I have ever seen. The acting, writing, and directing really came together to create a great show. Is there any chance that more of the shows will be available on DVD's?
1 Simon Betts from Ipswich: My favourite Waiting For God memory is that I went to the BBC Television Centre twice to see two episodes being recorded. Both days were excellent and it was great to see it being recorded and all the mistakes (that you don't see!) too! I wish they would bring it back!

Trout season remains closed until March first. Grouper season is closed until March 15. The pelagics are not here yet and likely will not roll into town until the full moon in March (21, first day of spring). The whiting which ARE in season seem to be in hibernation and are mostly unwilling to take any kind of bait, likely due to very cold water temperature.

Under Fire, Security Firms Form An Alliance
By Dana Priest and Mary Pat Flaherty
Thursday, April 8, 2004 " Washington Post" -- Under assault by insurgents and unable to rely on U.S. and coalition troops for intelligence or help under duress, private security firms in Iraq have begun to band together in the past 48 hours, organizing what may effectively be the largest private army in the world, with its own rescue teams and pooled, sensitive intelligence.
Many of the firms were hired by the U.S. government to protect its employees in Iraq. But because the contracts are managed by the Coalition Provisional Authority and the coordination between the CPA and the U.S. military is limited, and by their accounts inadequate, the contractors have no direct line to the armed forces. Most of the firms' employees are military veterans themselves, and they often depend on their network of colleagues still in uniform for coordination and intelligence.
"There is no formal arrangement for intelligence-sharing," Col. Jill Morgenthaler, a spokeswoman for the U.S. military command headquarters in Baghdad, said in an e-mail in response to questions. "However, ad hoc relationships are in place so that contractors can learn of dangerous areas or situations."
The demand for a private security force in Iraq has increased since the war ended, said officials with the CPA, the U.S.-led authority that is running the occupation of Iraq. There are about 20,000 private security contractors in Iraq now, including Americans, Iraqis and other foreigners. That number is expected to grow to 30,000 in the near future when the U.S. troop presence is drawn down after the June 30 handover to Iraqi authorities.
The presence of so many armed security contractors in a hot combat zone is unprecedented in U.S. history, according to government officials and industry experts.
In the past, "we've been careful about where and when we arm civilians who accompany the troops because we don't want to inadvertently turn them into soldiers, even by what we have them wear," said Col. Thomas McShane, an instructor at the Army War College.
As the security situation in Iraq has deteriorated in recent days, the security contract workers have been exposed to some of the same dangers U.S. soldiers face -- and have defended their posts as soldiers would, but without the support of the military with which they share the battlefield.
While U.S. and coalition military forces fought rebellions in a half-dozen cities yesterday, the body of a contract worker, employed to guard the power lines of the Iraqi ministry of electricity, was extracted from a rooftop in Kut by his firm's Iraqi interpreter after he bled to death, according to government and industry officials.
The dead man, a Western employee of London-based Hart Group Ltd., had been pinned down on the rooftop of the house he and four colleagues had been occupying Tuesday night when insurgents overran the house. The other four were wounded.
"We were holding out, hoping to get direct military support that never came," said Nick Edmunds, Iraq coordinator for Hart, whose employees were operating in an area under Ukrainian military control. Other sources said Hart employees called U.S. and Ukrainian military forces so many times during the siege that the battery on their mobile phone ran out.
That same night, armed employees of two other firms, Control Risk Group and Triple Canopy, were also surrounded and attacked, according to U.S. government and industry sources.
In all three instances, U.S. and coalition military forces were called for help but did not respond in a timely manner, according to U.S. government and industry accounts. The private commandos fought for hours and eventually were able to "self-evacuate," said one U.S. official, who asked not to be named.
Asked last night to explain why U.S. and coalition forces had not responded to requests for help, a Pentagon spokesman referred the question to commanders in Iraq, who could not be reached for comment because of the time difference.
On Monday, eight commandos from Blackwater Security Consulting repulsed an attack by the militiamen of Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr against the Coalition Provisional Authority headquarters in Najaf. After hours of calling the U.S. military and CPA for backup, Blackwater sent in its own helicopters -- twice -- to ferry ammunition in and carry a wounded Marine to safety, according to U.S. government and industry sources familiar with the incident.
A week ago, four Blackwater commandos -- all former members of U.S. Special Forces working on a contract to protect a private food company in Iraq -- were killed and mutilated in Fallujah. U.S. government and industry sources believe a member of the Iraqi police helped set up the ambush of the two unarmored cars the men were using.
The U.S. military does not have enough specially trained troops or Iraqi police officers to guard its civilian employees, said defense and CPA officials. As a result, the U.S. government has turned increasingly to private firms. Blackwater even provides personal security to U.S. administrator L. Paul Bremer.
The Bremer detail, said Peter W. Singer, a private military expert at the Brookings Institution, illustrates the extent to which the military is breaking new ground, even amending its long-held doctrine that the "U.S. military does not turn over mission-critical functions to private contractors," Singer said. "And you don't put contractors in positions where they need to carry weapons. . . . A private armed contractor now has the job of keeping Paul Bremer alive -- it can't get much more mission-critical than that."
Some Defense Department officials are concerned that private commandos are not subject to adequate oversight. There is no government vetting of contract workers who carry weapons. "The CPA has let all kinds of contracts to all kinds of people," said one senior Defense Department official who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the subject. "It's blindsided us."
The CPA's program management office has sought bids for a project to coordinate security among the 10 largest prime contractors and their subcontractors working on U.S.-backed reconstruction projects worth $18.4 billion. But the bids are still under review. In the meantime, the office is "trying to get at least some level of intelligence sanitized from the military that could be given to contractors," said Capt. Bruce A. Cole, spokesman for the program management office in Baghdad. That has not happened yet.
The firms, stunned by the casualties they suffered this week and by the lack of a military response, have begun banding together to share their own operations-center telephone numbers and tips on threats, as well as to organize ways to rescue one another in a crisis.
"There is absolutely a growing cooperation along unofficial lines," Edmunds said. "We try to give each other warnings about things we hear are about to happen."
"Each private firm amounts to an individual battalion," said one U.S. government official familiar with the developments. "Now they are all coming together to build the largest security organization in the world."

Wilton boys scratch out win over McMahon
WILTON -- It was a tale of two halves Tuesday night in Wilton.
Wilton completely dominated the first two quarters while Brien McMahon owned the second half. In the end, though, the Warriors dug deep and were able to scratch out a 56-51 win.
The game also illuminated the trajectory of two teams heading in opposite directions. With the win, Wilton (8-5, 6-5) clinches a berth in the CIAC Class LL State tournament while the young Senators fell to a disappointing 3-11.
"Regardless of how ugly it was at times, we picked up a win," Wilton head coach Joel Geriak said. "We learn from what we did wrong, and we move on."
The Warriors came charging out of the gate in the first quarter putting away eight points before the Senators could find their footing. Led by the velvet scoring touch of Wilton captain Weston Wilbur, who chalked up eight points including two treys in the first frame, the Warriors built up a 15-point lead at one point. When the quarter came to a close, Wilton was sitting on an 18-7 advantage.
The Warriors cruised through the second quarter with more of the same, taking a 35-21 lead into the locker room at halftime.
Sports Videos
In the second half, though, spectators did a double-take at the McMahon team that came thundering onto the court. The Senators, who were playing with new-found intensity, were pulling down rebounds, making shots, and forcing turnovers.
The Warriors turned the ball over on their first three possessions of the half.
"We were stagnant, and we stopped driving," said Geriak.
This time, the first eight points were McMahon's, knocking the wind out of Wilton's sails.
"We woke up and started playing with a little more heart, and things turned around," said Senators captain Larry McKinney, who showed toughness inside by draining three baskets in the quarter.
McMahon finished the quarter trailing by two, at 41-39.
With about four minutes remaining in the game, the Senators had pulled ahead 48-44, which proved to be their high water mark. The Warriors were not going to let the game slip away and found their second wind at the tail end to close out a 56-51 win.
"You can go negative and take away our lack of ability to play a full game, or you can go positive and see the adjustment that they made themselves at halftime," McMahon head coach Ken Dustin said. "The second half team was the team I was expecting."
McKinney led the Senators with 10 points, followed by Justin Walker and Andrew Rivera who both contributed nine.
Wilton's Max Maudsley was the high scorer of the game with 17 points. Eric Houska added 13 for Wilton and Wilbur chipped in 12 points and 12 rebounds.
As a team, Wilton made an impressive 21 out of 27 free throws, and McMahon went 7 for 13 from the line.
It won't get any easier for the Senators, who host Trinity Catholic on Friday. Wilton meanwhile travels to Trumbull.

Creative sandwich recipes
Move past simple cold cuts and try one of these creative sandwiches.
Turkey, apple and cheddar grilled cheese
4 teaspoons butter, divided
8 slices whole-wheat bread
6 ounces reduced-fat Cheddar, thinly sliced
8 ounces sliced turkey breast
1/2 apple, thinly sliced
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a sheet pan with foil. Coat the foil with cooking spray.
2. Melt 1 teaspoon of the butter over medium-low heat in a large, nonstick skillet. As it begins to melt, brush the top of 2 slices of bread with the butter. Set the bread aside.
3. Spread another teaspoon of butter over the surface of the skillet. Place the 2 unbuttered slices of bread in the skillet; top each with one-eighth of the cheese. Place one-fourth the turkey on each slice; top with one-fourth the apple slices. Top each with one-eighth of the cheese and add the reserved buttered bread, with the buttered side facing up. Press down lightly with a spatula and cook until the undersides are golden, about 3 minutes. Flip the sandwiches over, and again cook until golden on the undersides and the cheese begins to melt, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer the sandwiches to the prepared baking sheet pan and place in the oven while you repeat the procedure with the remaining ingredients, making 2 more sandwiches.
4. Keep the sandwiches in the oven until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes; serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
Peanut Butter, honey and banana sandwich
2 to 3 tablespoons peanut butter
2 slices white whole-wheat bread
1 to 2 tablespoons honey
1 banana, thinly sliced
Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread, honey on the other. Cover the honeyed slice with thinly sliced banana and then top with peanut-buttered slice. Makes 1 sandwich.
Grilled sausage, onions and peppers
1 large red onion, cut across into ¼-inch thick rings
1 red bell pepper, halved, and seeds and core removed
1 green bell pepper, halved, and seeds and core removed
1 pound (6 links) sweet Italian sausage, poked in several places with a fork
6 top-split hot dog buns
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon dried basil
? teaspoon salt
1. Light half the grill. (You will be cooking over both direct and indirect heat.)
2. Insert a toothpick horizontally through the center of each onion ring to hold it together. Place the onion rings and sausage on the unlit half of the grill (for indirect cooking). Place the peppers, skin-side down, over the lit portion for direct heat grilling and close the grill. When the peppers are fully charred, after about 10 minutes, turn and grill 4 to 5 minutes until softened. Set aside.
3. Cook sausage and onions 15 minutes, until well-marked on the undersides; turn and cook another 10 minutes, until cooked through. Remove from heat.
4. Brush the sides of the buns with a little of the oil; grill 1 minute on each side until just toasted and marked.
5. Whisk the remaining oil with the balsamic, basil and salt. Cut the onion rings in half and discard the toothpicks; cut the peppers into thin strips. Add the onions and peppers to the dressing; toss thoroughly. Place a sausage link in each bun and top with the onions and peppers. Makes 6 servings.
Chicken, mozzarella and sun-dried tomato panini

Copyright on the Finished Piece
Free Beginner Crochet Knitting Steps Academy Classes Online for STEM! Within Fiber Arts is Science, Technology, Engineer & Math all exist in knitting & arts!
Thank you so much for this information. I've purchased patterns before and wondered about claims of not being able to sell what I make from someone elses pattern. I appreciate the clarification!ReplyDelete
Very ineteresting read. I can see this applying to patterns that are sold. But, would free patterns found, for instance, online also be under the same guidelines? I've seen plenty of sites where free crochet patterns are offered and the designers ask that the finished items not be sold.ReplyDelete
The Internet is part of the stream of commerce(e-commerce), even though the pattern is free. The pattern should be kept private, if the individual does not want people selling the finished piece. How is the pattern author monetarily damaged with a free pattern? The pattern author does not control the finished piece.
Wow Thank You so much,
I hope this applies to knitting patterns as well, as I was told I wasnt able to sell my guinea pigs that I bought a pattern for, so had to find another pattern,
Your such a help, Thank You,
Wow! This is huge- are you ready for the backlash? I appreciate the information but I can see those peeps being very surprised at this interpretation ;o)
You're the best, T!
This applies to any type of pattern. Sewing, knitting, crochet, woodmaking, quilting etc.
Angelica Bays, TygrLilies.com,
Thank you. The website said everything pretty clearly and I learned some new things myself. It is a big shame for people to continue thinking that they can't sell their finished piece. I have heard from people in the past and wish this article was available. I hope everyone is very successful and sells everything that they want to sell.
Thanks for the information. I really appreciate you putting this out there for us to read. I have been taking some of my finished items to a consignment shop and didn't dare take certain things for fear this would be a problem.ReplyDelete
I'm curious as to the author's legal credentials. I'm not being a smart-aleck but copyright law is a very confusing thing that takes lawyers to interpret and still cases go to court for a judge to solve. I wonder if this article will loosen up crochetville's blocking of archived websites???ReplyDelete
I clicked on the 'Carolyn V. Peters, Esq.' link on that page. If I understood correctly, you would be safe NOT to mass produce an object from a purchased pattern and then sell them. This particular situation has not gone to court, so there is no legal precedence, so it is sort of a better safe than sorry situation. Based on this article, I think that the 'for non-commercial use' seen often on patterns means you may sell and distribute your finished objects, but not at such a large scale (i.e. commercial scale) that you have significant financial gain. Anyways, I am certainly not a lawyer, so this is just my two cents.ReplyDelete
Sharon Marie,
Websites are considered someones expression of work, so allowing archives will violate the copyright law. The archive website that does this on the Internet, is in violation of copyright.
This interpretation in the article is related to selling the end piece. There are links in the article to the the US Copyright Website and to court cases ruled on by the supreme court. In 1908 the supreme court ruled that the owner of the copyright does not have the right to determine future sales.
Whitney @ The Crochet Café,
This is a 1908 case.
As end users of these computers, should we all be required to pay any future profits to Apple,Dell and Microsoft, because we sell crochet on Etsy or Ebay and make a profit? Something to think about.
Hi Teresa...
I would have to say the 1908 supreme court case is a much better example of copyright issues with the pattern itself, not the end product resulting from use of the pattern. Looking into the full context of the case, it outlined that after practicing their right to vend, the owner of the copyright (the designer) cannot qualify or limit future sales of their book (for us a pattern). So the purchaser has the right to sell the original pattern for whatever price they want, but it was also clear that they will infringe on the copyright if they make copies of the pattern to sell or distribute for free.
Very interesting, for sure...
Thanks for posting this...
It has always been my stated position that I have allowed buyers of my patterns to sell their finished works. I've always considered it a compliment that they would even want to.
Thanks for posting this Teresa! I sell patterns for scrapbooking (paper piecings) and have always allowed customers to make & sell their items. The large majority of my customers are like me - stay at home moms with an online business. If I limited my customers to not sell what they make, I wouldn't sell near what I do. It only brings me more returning customers. There are some crochet patterns out there that I would have bought up in a heartbeat - BUT - the seller states that I'm not allowed to sell finished items, so I sadly passed. If she would allow me to sell what I make, I would buy & return to buy all of her patterns. (And she has ALOT!) I had even considered chainging over to a crochet business instead of scrapbooking if it weren't for that. I enjoy both crafts so much, but since I am on a budget, I have to stick mainly with the one I can make a little grocery money on. Sad that some have to be this way.ReplyDelete
ahhhhh *hugs you* your the BEST! I've been looking for this information everywhere and I just couldn't get a clear answer or answers. I saw this pattern that I wanted to use SOOOOO badly..its very outdated and I figured I could make a whole bunch of them and sell them on etsy..now I CAN! *claps hands* yay! lolReplyDelete
How interesting, I never knew that.
This calls for celebration! lol!
Awesome!! I always wondered if it were true when someone would say that they developed a sewing technique and that if I used it I couldn't sell the item I made. I always thought it was weird that they could say that.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the info! I didn't know that.ReplyDelete
This was in court. One reason you do not see court cases concerning the sale of finished products from patterns is because of Baker v. Selden, 101 US 99 - Supreme Court 1880. The Supreme Court commented on "a chart of patterns for cutting dresses and basques for ladies, and coats, jackets, &c., for boys", stating:
It is obvious that such designs could only be printed and published for information, and not for use in themselves. Their practical use could only be exemplified in cloth on the tailor's board and under his shears; in other words, by the application of a mechanical operation to the cutting of cloth in certain patterns and forms. Surely the exclusive right to this practical use was not reserved to the publisher by his copyright of the chart.
(They talked funny back then) What the Supreme Court was saying is the end product was not covered by the copyright and therefore not a right of the copyright owner and not subject to limit. The practical use of a copyright, such as reading a book several times, is not for the rights owner to limit.
Thanks for this information. So if someone puts "if you resell the finished project please put a copy of my website with it" do you have to put their website along side the finished project or is it more of an option to do so?ReplyDelete
I have purchased a pattern on Etsy yesterday and the information on the pattern word by word says.
copywrite notice:you do not have permission to sell the finished product locally or online without purchasing a cottage liciense. Rewriting, reselling, disributing or copying the pattern itself is prohibited. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
I looked at the cottage license it states
Additional Policies and FAQs My patterns are for personal use only. Please contact me regarding questions about my licensing options. I currently offer 3 license options. 6-month limited license: Per pattern, sell only locally, not online. $20 6-month full license: Per pattern, sell local and online. $50 Full lifetime license: All patterns (current and future), sell local and online. $150
I have been crocheting now long enough and gained information from crochet gurus such as yourself to know that this is wrong and I know I have the right to sell my finished work. Its unfair that the designer would like extra money to sell something that I have made , spent my time on and money on and my skills. I shall be selling what I make from it. Thank you Teresa and to all the other crochet gurus on the internet that continue to educate the crochet community. You are a star. Thank you Teresa, you have given me confidence, knowledge and brought something wonderful into life. I have meet some lovely people on line, I have created friendships and without your videos I know I would not be as far on as I am today. I believe I would not even be crocheting. Its easier to learn through watching than it is to look and read from a book. Thank you x
In all fairness, the author should provide the licensing agreement in advance to sales so
people know their licensing demands. Most crocheters want the option to sell their finished pieces. Realistically, individual crocheters are not going to be able to mass produce crochet fast enough that a licensing agreement is worth the time it took to write. Depending on what it is, thousands of other crocheters have done something similar or are able to
reverse engineer their own pattern.
Perfectly stated! When you think about it, there very rarely are any 100% original creations anymore. They are all based on something else... But I HATE when I see a pattern I love and then the creator says not to sell finished products. I spend my money on the pattern, I expect to be able to make money with it. I am a mother to 4, I buy the patterns with my children in mind but so as not to constantly put my family out I use the creations to make a little extra money. That being said, I NEVER state their items as my own and I will gladly link back to the creator to give them credit for their products, but I don't see how they can say I can't do something with what I make. So I looked around and found this aricle...
@ toyboxplayground ~this is an extremely helpful link! Thank you so much for posting it.
@ Teresa ~Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us! I am a "see & do" learner; books help but your tutorials are a fantastic way for me to expand my old-school techniques (yarn hooker for over 30 years). I have spent years looking for the facts regarding craft patterns and selling resulting product. Everyone I've contacted throughout the years either had no clue, were possibly insecure in their own abilities and didn't want the market competition, or were all about how many ways they can milk a customer's wallet.
It has always been my philosophy that the materials I use to construct the pattern are not what is in the picture, so how can it be an infringement on the copyrights? It is a template to channel my creativity. Kudos to those that are able to produce a pattern design ~my talents lie in the skill to read and create. I can take an idea and run with it; 90% of the time, it only *resembles* the original anyway. And I have never passed the design off as my original ~I always share where I got the pattern or idea from!

Twenty kindergartners in Kate Greenbergs class at Riverview Elementary School learned some bare facts about black bears Monday.
The information came from Cindy Lawrence, a wildlife biologist with Bear Smart Durango, who arrived in the classroom with a taxidermist-prepared cub, the skin of an adult bear, a bear track preserved in plaster and sandwich baggies containing scat with remnants of berries, acorns or trash.
As residents of bear country, the youngsters, ages 4 to 6, were eager to let Lawrence know theyre familiar with ursines. But they paid attention as Greenberg repeatedly urged them to hold questions and comments to the end.
As Lawrence spoke, Chauntell Geary signed for the benefit of a hearing-impaired girl.
Lawrences presentation is one of the thematic units Greenberg teaches. She does one on the sun as part of science curriculum, and the bear unit fits into the literature component, specifically on separating fact from fiction.
We compare how Cindys fact-based talk compares with what we find in Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Greenberg said.
Lawrence told the kids at the outset that both the taxidermist bear, an 8-month-old cub, and the bear that belonged to her display skin had been killed by vehicles. The cub was hit on U.S. Highway 160 near Bodo Industrial Park.
She displayed photos of bears in their natural habitat, bears in backyards, bears going for bird feeders and garbage cans, and places where bears spend the winter.
The youngsters were able to take a close look at the photos and get up close to the stuffed cub.
Petting the bear is what I liked most, said Finn Skowlund, 6.
Bryan Peterson, who founded Bear Smart Durango in 2003 to educate the public about living in bear country, said 19 similar Im a Bear Smart Kid presentations were made last year in Durango School District 9-R and Aztec.
Lawrence said the numbers will be the same this year by the time she wraps up later this month.
The bear cub, which was donated by Colorado Parks and Wildlife in 2010, was one of 10 ursine vehicle victims that year in Southwest Colorado.
The taxidermy was done by John Gardner at Wildlife Expressions in Durango.
The Im a Bear Smart Kid program was funded in 2011 with $2,500 from the Living With Wildlife Advisory Board of La Plata County. This year, the LPEA Round-Up Foundation donated $2,000.
The last point Lawrence made focused on the problems bears create for themselves and people when they become habituated to human food and begin to hang out in urban areas. Sometimes they invade houses.
A photo of a kitchen ransacked by a bear drove home the point. Refrigerator doors were ripped out, and food was strewn on the floor.
We hope being bear smart becomes as second nature to the next generation as recycling is, Peterson said. Our generation doesnt seem to get it.

Cagney and Lacey Classic TV Show
The hard hitting, female buddy cop series that the fans fought to see. Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless battle the crime on the streets and the problems at home.
Cagney and Lacey Fan Tributes7 Andrea Bradbury from Dunfermline, Fife Scotland: Loved the show from the very beginning, remember being about 12 when they changed Meg for Sharon and sitting in our living room saying I didnt like the new actress. Little did I know I would grow to love not only her but also Tyne. Fantastic show and fantastic actresses and more than that fantastic writing and insight to produce a show of this magnitude even 25 years on.
6 Sharon Jones from Phoenix Az.: I dont think there is one I did'nt like. But some of the great ones to me are. Chris lost her dad & the drinking problem, Marybeth with the Breast cancer, the Bag Lady, Chris & Marybeth both getting Shot. Also the lady that through she was a Witch. I just cant wait till the hold set comes out, so I can watch then all over again. THANK YOU so much for the C / L shows.
5 Rhonda McClements from Northern Ireland: Like everyone else I was a huge fan of Cagney and Lacey. My favourite episode was when Christine had a drink problem. I miss seeing the show on tv. I think it was one of the best American drama's ever seen on tv.
4 Deb Walker from Heybridge, Essex: Cagney & Lacey has to be my all time favourite tv series. The writing, and even more so, the acting was OUTSTANDING! The on screen chemistry between Sharon and Tyne was terrific. The episodes that stick in my mind were the ones where Chris became an alcoholic after her father died and when Mary Beth was diagnosed with breast cancer. Everytime i watch these particular episodes i'm in tears, these ladies certainly know how to act! All the time C & L was on the air, from 1982 to 1988 the Emmy Award for Best Actress went to either Tyne (4 times) or Sharon (2 times), says it all really! This series had a great mix of drama and humour and was at times, very emotional too, and i miss it big time!!
3 paula lloyd-james from south wales uk: sharon gless is the best even today i love her dearly, miss the show like mad please bring them all back from the start
2 charles edward gregory from worksop notts: i liked cagney and lacey when cagney always knocking down victor isbecki
1 Cindi Strange from Wesley chapel, Fla.: I, like everyone else am an at large fan of the two women who play Cagney and Lacey, Sharon Gless especially, she was an inspiration to an abundance of gays and straights of who she portrayed and what she has accomplished then and now. I watched the show from the first time it aired and I was not all that impressed with the show when Meg Foster played Cagney, I thought the show really took off as soon as Sharon took over the roll, I still have the pleasure to watch it in syndication where I live. All the episodes were FANTASTIC memories for me.

Agree Realty Corp. (ADC) Hits New 52-week High During February 03 SessionEquities Staff Follow |
Agree Realty Corp. (ADC) hit a new 52-week high yesterday, reaching a peak of $38.17 after opening at $37.83 and closing at $37.77 for a move of 1.07%.
Hitting a new 52-week high is a notable milestone for any company, and it can mean a trading opportunity on either the long or short side, depending on one's perspective. Some view a company hitting its highest price in a year as a sign of momentum and think it means it's time to buy in. Others, though, tend to interpret a new 52-week high as likely signaling the end of a strong run, with the stock peaking out before a period of decline.
However one plays it, it's often a critical moment for any stock and should be noted by investors.
The new 52-week high came on a volume of 225,745 for a stock that has a float of 18.89 million shares and an average daily volume of $137,864. The day's trading means the company's market cap is now at $713.42 million and it has a 50-day SMA of $33.54 and a 200-day SMA of $30.61.
Agree Realty Corp. now has a P/E ratio of 16.4.

SeniorAdvice.com Names Top Fifteen LGBT-Friendly Senior Living Communities in America
SeniorAdvice.com, one of the nation's top senior housing referral services, released an article on the best fifteen thriving senior living communities for LGBT seniors. The company recognizes that the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) senior community is currently a very important part of the American population, and that the struggle for resources and housing can sometimes be difficult.
According to the American Psychological Association, "more than 39 million people in the U.S. are age 65 years or older including 2.4 million people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). It is estimated that as the baby boomer generation ages, the older adult population will increase from 12.8 percent to an estimated 19 percent in 2030."* Although the LGBT community is growing steadily, the options for LGBT senior housing are not as flourishing. There are a handful of these communities across the country though, and SeniorAdvice.com has put together a list of the most welcoming.
The top fifteen LGBT-friendly senior housing communities in America are:
There is generally less acceptance of the LGBT community among older generations, which can make it very difficult to find a supportive community within the senior demographic. It is estimated that "48 percent of LGBT older couples face discrimination" according to a 2014 investigation by the nonprofit Equal Rights Center.** In addition to discrimination issues, this community can sometimes encounter financial difficulties as well. These seniors can experience discrimination in the workplace, which can make it hard to afford senior housing and save for retirement. SeniorAdvice.com recognizes these challenges and aims to be a strong resource for LGBT seniors.
Ryan Patterson, SeniorAdvice.com CEO and Founder states, "SeniorAdvice.com will continue to be dedicated and focus on the challenges and needs of seniors of all backgrounds. The LGBTQ senior community faces additional challenges that other seniors do not have to deal with, and we like to provide resources aimed at this group to help make transitioning to senior housing easier for all involved."
SeniorAdvice.com has previously released articles on the "Americas Best Cities for Gay Friendly Retirement,""LGBT Assisted Living Communities - Finding a Gay-Friendly Facility," and "The Struggles and Triumphs of Transgender Seniors."

Hi everyone! We moved from a quaint small town to the Tuscan shoreline which was absolutely stunning. The shoreline was filled with designer boutiques and restaurants. The strip was constantly walked by local families either all linked in arms or in heated discussions.
Our first day was magical! After paying 20 Euro for the use of an umbrella, set of chairs, 2 beach towels and some still water we sat on the beach for 5 hours soaking up the sun and authentic Italian atmosphere. Unfortunately since sunny day 1, we had experienced a huge thunderstorm and it didn't stop raining for two days. Luckily we photographed this Forever New 'Brynn Mirror Print Dress' while the sun was still shining. I love the print on this dress and think it could be a great option for Spring Racing Carnival. Check out the details of this look below- all products are available from Highpoint Shopping Centre.

Civil society organisations drafted a declaration on the recent revelations about the surveillance of citizens' online activity by the government of the United States. APC read the following statement to the Human Rights Council earlier this week.
We express strong concern over recent revelations of surveillance of internet and telephone communications of US and non-US nationals by the government of the United States of America and the fact that US authorities makes the results of that surveillance available to other governments such as the United Kingdom. Of equal concern is the apparent complicity of some US-based Internet companies with global reach. These revelations suggest a blatant and systematic disregard for human rights as articulated in Articles 17 and 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), as well as Articles 12 and 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Just last year the Council unanimously adopted Resolution 20/8, which Affirms that the same rights that people have offline must also be protected online, in particular freedom of expression … But during this session the Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression, Mr. Frank La Rue, reported (A/HRC/23/40) worrying new trends in state surveillance of communications with serious implications for the exercise of the human rights to privacy and to freedom of opinion and expression. The Special Rapporteur notes that inadequate and non-existent legal frameworks create a fertile ground for arbitrary and unlawful infringements of the right to privacy in communications and, consequently, also threaten the protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression.
The application of surveillance mechanisms to the heart of global digital communications drastically threatens the protection of human rights in the digital age. As Frank La Rue notes in reference to such actions: "This raises serious concern with regard to the extra-territorial commission of human rights violations and the inability of individuals to know that they might be subject to foreign surveillance, challenge decisions with respect to foreign surveillance, or seek remedies." This recent case is an example of human rights violations specifically relevant to the Internet, and one foreshadowed in the Council's 2012 Expert Panel on Freedom of Expression and the Internet.
We call for protection of those who have made these violations public. As Mr La Rue notes, laws "must not be used to target whistleblowers … nor should they hamper the legitimate oversight of government action by citizens. "We urge States protect those whistleblowers involved in this case and to support their efforts to combat violations of the fundamental human rights of all global citizens. Whistleblowers play a critical role in promoting transparency and upholding the human rights of all.
We call on the Human Rights Council to act swiftly to prevent the creation of a global Internet based surveillance system by:
1)convening a special session to examine this case
2)supporting a multistakeholder process to implement the recommendation of Mr La Rue that the Human Rights Committee develop a new General Comment 16 on the right to privacy in light of technological advancements, and,
3)requesting the High Commissioner to prepare a report that:
a)formally asks states to report on practices and laws in place on surveillance and what corrective steps will they will take to meet human rights standards, and,
b)examines the implications of this case in in the light of the Human Rights Council endorsed United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the "Protect, Respect and Remedy" Framework of A/HRC/RES/17/4.
The call is open for signatures

(CNN) -- Gov. John Hickenlooper, who this week signed some of the nation's tightest gun control measures into law, said Sunday he couldn't fathom why the son of one of his close friends would decide to shoot his state's prisons chief -- also a friend -- to death.
"I felt like I was caught in a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. All these things were happening to people that I loved. And they didn't seem to be connected in any way," Hickenlooper, a Democrat, said on CNN's "State of the Union." He added his own security was being bolstered in the aftermath of the crime.
"We know Evan was connected to the white supremacist group. We can't see clearly what a motive was," he continued, referring to Evan Spencer Ebel, whom authorities have linked with the slaying of Tom Clements, the director of Colorado's state corrections system.
Ebel himself died in a shootout with sheriff's deputies in Texas on Thursday. Investigators have told reporters that Ebel, a former member of a white supremacist prison gang, might have conspired with other inmates to kill Clements.
Clements earned widespread recognition not only for prison reforms but also for a crackdown on prison gangs, including the one Ebel is said to have belonged to.
By all accounts, Ebel came from a privileged upbringing. His father, Jack Ebel, an attorney and former oil executive, counts Hickenlooper among his friends. The two met in the 1980s while working for the same firm.
"From the beginning his son just seemed to have this bad streak -- this streak of cruelty and anger," Hickenlooper recalled to CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley. "And yet, they did everything they could. They worked with Evan again and again, but to no avail. He had a bad, bad streak."
Clements was also a friend, Hickenlooper said, and one of the "elder statesmen" in Colorado's government.
"To have two people connected, two people I know so well and love so deeply to be connected by this, it's inexplicable," he said.
This week, Hickenlooper signed into law new gun control measures requiring universal background checks for gun sales, restricting the size of ammunition magazines and making buyers pay for their own background checks.
The laws, which at one time would have seemed impossible in Colorado, came after a spate of deadly shootings in the United States, including the movie theater massacre in Aurora, Colorado, last summer.
Lawmakers in Washington are also debating new gun control laws, though a ban on assault weapons pushed by some Democrats was scuttled this week when it wasn't included in legislation headed to the Senate.
A ban on assault weapons, along with other measures like improving background checks, make for "tough sells" in states like Colorado, where gun ownership is a way of life, Hickenlooper said.
"They deeply believe that their guns and the Second Amendment are critical parts of American life," he said Sunday. "And their integrity and honesty and conviction, you can't challenge that."AlertMe

I have seen original cars with it both ways (weight pointed to the firewall, or pointed to the frame rail). It made me wonder if they switched the way they mounted them, Maybe later 69 cars have it pointed towards the firewall? or who was working that shift on the line when installing? Just a wild guess on my part.
The weight points towards the firewall
The heat riser valve in the photo in reply #30 appears to be installed upside-down; pushing the weight down (toward the ground) against spring pressure opens it, and that valve can't be pushed down because of the limit pin - it can only be pushed UP. The valve has a flat side, and a chamfered side - the flat side goes against the flat exhaust manifold outlet with a fire-ring gasket, and the chamfered side goes against the flared exhaust pipe with a "donut".

prelink first collects ELF binaries to be prelinked and all the ELF shared

slot to each library and relinks the shared library to that base address.
When the dynamic linker attempts to load such a library, unless that virtual
address space slot is already occupied, it maps the library into the given
After this is done,
prelink, with the help of dynamic linker, resolves all relocations in the binary or
library against its dependent libraries and stores the relocations into the
ELF object.
It also stores a list of all dependent libraries together with their
checksums into the binary or library.
For binaries, it also computes a list of
conflicts (relocations that resolve differently in the binarys symbol search scope
than in the smaller search scope in which the dependent library was
resolved) and stores it into a special ELF section.
At runtime, the dynamic linker first checks whether all dependent libraries
were successfully mapped into their designated address space slots, and
whether they have not changed since the prelinking was done.
If all checks are successful, the dynamic linker just replays the list of
conflicts (which is usually significantly shorter than total number of
relocations) instead of relocating each library.

The software development firm Macadamian has increased their rate of BlackBerry 10 app development by 85 per cent. The sudden leap in development stems from a strong customer demand says the company. This is great news for BlackBerry, as their BlackBerry 10 platform continues to pick up popularity among developers.
Macadamian will also be presenting several conference sessions at BlackBerry Live on developing and creating quality applications on BlackBerry 10.
Take a look at the full press release below:
Gatineau, QC. (May 13, 2013) – Macadamian has increased its rate of BlackBerry® 10 app development by 85 per cent to keep pace with accelerating customer demand. The user-experience-design and software-development firm has averaged about one new app every two weeks since the launch of the BlackBerry® Z10 smartphone on January 30, 2013. The Maxim app for BlackBerry® 10 is among Macadamian's latest design and development credits.
"We were one of the first to get behind the BlackBerry® 10 platform and we're seeing results," said Macadamian CEO Frédéric Boulanger who has dedicated a quarter of his company's workforce to BlackBerry® 10 development. "Stellar user experiences drive business value for our clients and that's been critical to our success."
Macadamian's 50+ person BlackBerry® 10 business unit has developed seven new apps in the past three months with more in its pipeline. Among these is Maxim's first video-rich mobile app that's now sizzling on BlackBerry® 10 smartphone screens. This free download has earned the coveted 'Built for BlackBerry' status and as of today, an impressive 4 ½-out-of-5-stars rating on the BlackBerry® World™ storefront.
"We were thrilled to work with Macadamian on our brand's BlackBerry® 10 video-rich mobile app," said Bill Shaw, Vice President, Digital, Maxim. "It looks terrific and expands our breadth across multiple platforms in order to reach Maxim fans whenever and wherever they consume content."
In addition, BlackBerry recently commissioned Macadamian to create a new app that serves as a template for other developers to use for events. The app can enhance on-site event experiences through a virtual layer of real-time information targeted to any user's geographic location. Real-time event updates, social posts from nearby event-goers and geo-location of performance stages and friends are some of its helpful features.
Macadamian has worked on many brand name applications, including ones that appear front and center in 15,000 retail outlets worldwide when consumers shop for a BlackBerry® 10 smartphone.

Craig CustanceESPN Senior WriterClose
- Senior NHL writer for ESPN The Magazine
- Wrote for Atlanta Journal-Constitution
- Wrote for The Sporting News
It was a Friday morning in early November when Anaheim Ducks defenseman Francois Beauchemin woke up with the swollen face that's become all too common right now around the NHL.
He suspected the problem might be mumps, since teammate Corey Perry had already dealt with it, as had players with the Minnesota Wild. There was also a mysterious illness in St. Louis earlier in the season where mumps was never confirmed, but was suspected.
Beauchemin played that night, because that's what hockey players do. Or, at least they did until mumps spread around the league and caution superseded playing through pain. Then he hoped whatever was invading his body would do it quickly.
"I was hoping not to get it too much," Beauchemin said when we chatted Monday morning.
Every player is different. Every body reacts to a virus in different ways. Sidney Crosby's recovery from mumps will be on a different timeline than New York Rangers center Derick Brassard, who was also diagnosed over the weekend. With 14 NHL players now officially diagnosed or recovered from the mumps virus, the range of time missed varies.
For instance, Wild defenseman Keith Ballard missed eight games with the mumps.

I woke up to some blessing this morning. Robin Lee, who wears Amazon's coveted "TOP 500 REVIEWER" badge, has read "The Cicada Survival Guide" and given it a professional review. You can see the book's review page here: http://amzn.to/10Vk4lc.
Robin said the following about the book:
"Biological Weapons"
This author wrote an excellent novella in a unique way..It is a mixed recipe, of an escaped man made virus, government conspiracy, cover-ups, and the emergence of Brood II….Which Scientists predict this year, the Cicadas will be in colossal numbers….It's not just a survival guide, but a possible real depiction of an ecological disaster…This story is dark humor, intriguing, gross, thought provoking and real horrifying….The characters could have been fleshed out more but for this part of the story they are not the main point……Each new chapter is told from the characters view point…..
Through the yrs a biological infectious agent has seeped into the fungus of the trees…The Cicadas have been feeding off this for 17 dormant years….It has been named "Troma" and the bugs are brand new mutations, that Americans are unaware of…This new species smells the scent of blood and seeks it out…If you have a open cut, you better hide, because this is a blood born pathogen of death….The symptoms are: severe itchiness, complete disintegration of your body, eventually takes command of your brain and drives you insane….It takes 72 hrs for the full effect….
This is not a zombie novel because the infected don't reanimate, they just become deadly killers in every way….
Warning: If you see a large Cicada with bright red blood colored metallic wings, instead of their green ones, you better run fast…..
This novel was just excellent.I hope this author thinks about continuing this as a series for the summer it has really great potential..I personally would like to see a Part 2 and 3……

Congress takes steps to address and prevent sexual misconduct on Capitol Hill
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) —
California Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., appeared before the House Administration Committee to discuss ways to prevent harassment on the Hill. She told lawmakers she has heard of two sitting members of Congress who have engaged in sexual harassment.
In the wake of several high-profile sexual harassment allegations -- from Hollywood to the media -- Congress is taking a look at its own policies to prevent sexual misconduct on Capitol Hill.
"There is no place for sexual harassment in our society, period, and especially in the Congress," said Chairman Gregg Harper, R-Miss.
California Rep. Jackie Speier, D-Calif., appeared before the House Administration Committee to discuss ways to prevent harassment on the Hill. She told lawmakers she has heard of two sitting members of Congress who have engaged in sexual harassment.
"These harassment propositions, such as, 'Are you going to be a good girl?' to perpetrators exposing their genitals, to victims having their private parts grabbed on the House floor," said Speier.
Speier recently revealed in her #MeToo video that she was assaulted by a chief of staff when she was a young congressional aide in the 1970s. Speier says after she shared her story, more people started telling their experiences to her. However, she adds many don't come forward because of fear of retaliation.
"There is zero accountability and zero transparency," she said. "It's really no wonder that staffers do not seek this process at all."
In her opening statement, Rep. Barbara Comstock, R-Va., told a story about a young female congressional staffer who was asked by a member to bring materials to his home. When she arrived, the lawmaker opened the door in a towel and then exposed himself.
Comstock said after the incident, the staffer quit her job. Comstock did not name the member but acknowledged he is still in Congress.
"But that kind of situation -- what are we doing here, for women right now who are dealing with somebody like that?" said Comstock.
Lawmakers have held hearings in the past that stemmed from sexual harassment allegations, from Justice Clarence Thomas to former President Bill Clinton.
But why has it taken so long for Congress to reform its own system?
"I don't know the how come," said Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif. She said when she first got to Congress she says a male colleague repeatedly harassed her.
"I think the sort of floodgates have been opened," Sanchez said. "Now, I think we've finally reached that turning point in our country where people are starting to take complaints seriously."
Following the hearing, House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., ordered mandatory sexual harassment and discrimination training for every House member and staff.
"Our goal is not only to raise awareness, but also make abundantly clear that harassment in any form has no place in this institution," said Ryan.

Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate with Whipped Coconut Cream
Hot chocolate is one of the most comforting winter indulgences, I think. Warm, creamy, delicious chocolate - perfect for curling up with when it's cold and snowy outside. I look forward to enjoying hot chocolate all winter long, and it's one of the only ways I truly enjoy chocolate. My husband loves it, too, and when I saw this recipe for peanut butter hot chocolate, I knew he'd be excited about it.
Chocolate and peanut butter is such a classic combination, and they marry well together in this lovely twist on classic hot chocolate. Growing up, my favorite topping was none other than the classic Fluff. I loved that stuff (well, I still do!) but it's not exactly fitting into the clean eating lifestyle. Enter: the genius happening over at The Gracious Pantry. Tiffany recently introduced her readers to a whipped cream alternative made from coconut milk. Given my recent addiction to all things curry, I had some coconut milk in stock and decided to try it out.
All I can say is coconut cream = awesome. I forgot all about Fluff once I topped my hot chocolate with this heavenly stuff. I'm sure you are wondering if you can taste the coconut. I could when sampling it alone, but I skimped a bit on the honey/vanilla. Once atop the hot chocolate, I couldn't pick out the coconut at all. Just lovely, creamy deliciousness to perfectly complement more lovely, creamy deliciousness.
Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate with Whipped Coconut Cream
Source: Slightly adapted from Dolcetto Confections/Martha Stewart
Generously serves 2
2 cups skim milk
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
3 tablespoons natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons sucanat
1 tablespoon whipped coconut cream
In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm milk until it just begins to simmer and bubbles form around the edge of the pan. Whisk in chocolates, peanut butter, and sucanat until melted and smooth. Cover and continue warming over low heat until warmed through. For a thicker cup of cocoa, simmer hot chocolate uncovered until desired thickness is achieved. Ladle hot chocolate into individual mugs, top with whipped cream.
Whipped Coconut Cream
Source: Reworded from The Gracious Pantry
1 14 ounce can regular coconut milk (do not use light milk)
1 tablespoon. agave or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon coconut cream (recipe follows)
1. Identify which end of the can you'll open with the can opener (for some cans that's the bottom) and place it that-end-down in the fridge for at least a day. The longer, the better. Gently turn the can over and open it. The cream should be solid at the (now) bottom of the can, with a layer of clear liquid on top. Pour off the clear liquid (great for use in smoothies or added to juice for a tropical touch).
2. Scoop the cream out of the can and into a medium bowl. Add honey and vanilla extract. Blend or whisk together until well combined.
3. Refrigerate coconut cream for a few hours to set; it will thicken slightly when chilled.
Note: If you find that even after chilling, the cream won't stiffen up, put it into a blender with 1 package of unflavored gelatin. Let it sit out for about an hour. Once it's thick as it should be, put it back into the fridge to chill further.

Taylor Swift Gets Revenge With 2012 Best Country Song + Solo Performance Grammy Wins
Taylor Swift won two Grammy Awards this afternoon for 'Mean,' a song she wrote about someone who didn't treat her right. And if you're wondering whether the young singer still carries a chip on her shoulder, check out what she said during her acceptance speeches.
"This is fantastic," Swift said after capturing Best Country Solo Performance. "It's always gonna mean the world to me, the idea of getting to go to the Grammys and the idea of getting to possibly have a chance at winning a Grammy, but this one means a lot to me. There's really no feeling like writing a song about someone who completely hates you and makes your life miserable, and then winning a Grammy for it. Thank you!"
Minutes later, 'Mean' also claimed Best Country Song, an award given to the songwriter. Swift thanked her parents, her band for dressing up in vintage outfits for the music video, and even everyone in the audience who clapped when her name was called. "This is unbelievable. I am so happy right now! Thank you to all the Grammy voters."
The Grammys were the 5th and 6th of of Swift's career. She dominated the ceremony in 2010 by winning four awards, including Album of the Year. She has a chance to add one more award to her collection later tonight during the televised portion of the ceremony, when her record 'Speak Now' competes for Best Country Album.
