A record producer is an individual working within the music industry, whose job is to oversee and manage the recording (i.e. "production") of an artist's music. A producer has many roles that may include, but are not limited to, gathering ideas for the project, selecting songs and/or musicians, coaching the artist and musicians in the studio, controlling the recording sessions, and supervising the entire process through mixing and mastering. Producers also often take on a wider entrepreneurial role, with responsibility for the budget, schedules, and negotiations.
Today, the recording industry has two kinds of producers: executive producer and music producer; they have different roles. While an executive producer oversees a project's finances, a music producer oversees the creation of the music.
A music producer can, in some cases, be compared to a film director, with noted practitioner Phil Ek himself describing his role as "the person who creatively guides or directs the process of making a record, like a director would a movie. The engineer would be more the cameraman of the movie."[1] The music producer's job is to create, shape, and mold a piece of music. The scope of responsibility may be one or two songs or an artist's entire album – in which case the producer will typically develop an overall vision for the album and how the various songs may interrelate.
In the US, before the rise of the record producer, someone from A&R would oversee the recording session(s), assuming responsibility for creative decisions relating to the recording.
With today's relatively easy access to technology, an alternative to the record producer just mentioned, is the so-called 'bedroom producer'. With today's technological advances, it is very easy for a producer to achieve high quality tracks without the use of a single instrument; that happens in urban music (like hip hop, rap, etc.). Many established artists take this approach.
In most cases the music producer is also a competent arranger, composer, musician or songwriter who can bring fresh ideas to a project. As well as making any songwriting and arrangement adjustments, the producer often selects and/or gives suggestions to the mixing engineer, who takes the raw recorded tracks and edits and modifies them with hardware and software tools and creates a stereo and/or surround sound "mix" of all the individual voices sounds and instruments, which is in turn given further adjustment by a mastering engineer. The producer will also liaise with the recording engineer who concentrates on the technical aspects of recording, whereas the executive producer keeps an eye on the overall project's marketability.

Early record producers[edit]
During the 1890s, Fred Gaisberg ran the first recording studio and provided the closest approximation of production by guiding an opera singer closer or further away from a gramophone's horn to match the dynamics in the score. (Citation: Gronow and Saunio 1998, p. 8; Moorefield 2005, p. 1).
However in the first part of the 20th century the record producer's role was similar to the role of a film producer in that the record producer organized and supervised recording sessions, paid technicians, musicians and arrangers, and sometimes chose material for the artist. In the mid-1950s a new category emerged, that of the independent record producer. Among the most famous early independent producers are the famed songwriting-production duo Leiber & Stoller, "Wall of Sound" creator Phil Spector and British studio pioneer Joe Meek.
Magnetic tape enabled the establishment of independent recording studios in major recording centres such as London, Los Angeles and New York. Unlike the old record company studios, which were effectively a "closed shop", these new studios could be hired by the hour by anyone who could afford to do so.
The biggest and best commercial studios were typically established and operated by leading recording engineers. They were carefully constructed to create optimum recording conditions, and were equipped with the latest and best recording equipment and top-quality microphones, as well as electronic amplification gear and musical instruments.
Top-line studios such as Olympic Studios in London, Fine Recording in New York City, United Western Recorders, and Musart in Los Angeles quickly became among the most sought-after recording facilities in the world, and both these studios became veritable "hit factories" that produced many of the most successful pop recordings of the latter 20th century.
Evolution of the role of the producer[edit]
Prior to the 1950s, the various stages of the recording and marketing process had been carried out by different professionals within the industry – A&R managers found potential new artists and signed them to their labels; professional songwriters created new material; publishing agents sold these songs to the A&R people; staff engineers carried out the task of making the recordings in company-owned studios.
Freed from this traditional system by the advent of independent commercial studios, the new generation of entrepreneurial producers – many of whom were former record company employees themselves – were able to create and occupy a new stratum in the industry, taking on a more direct and complex role in the musical process. This development in music was mirrored in the TV industry by the concurrent development of videotape recording and the consequent emergence of independent TV production companies like Desilu.
The new generation of independent producers began forming their own record production companies, and in many cases they also established their own recording labels, signing deals that enabled the recordings they produced to be manufactured and distributed by a major record company. This usually took the form of a lease deal, in which the production company leased the usage rights to the original recording to a major label, who would press, distribute and promote the recording as their own, in return for a percentage of any profit; the ownership of the master recordings typically reverted to the producer after the deal expired.
Producers would now typically carry out most or all of the various production tasks themselves, including selecting and arranging songs, overseeing sessions (and sometimes also engineering the recordings) and even writing the material,[2] although it became a common practice for producers to claim a writing credit even if they did not actually contribute to the song.
Independent music production companies rapidly gained a significant foothold in popular music and soon after became the main intermediary between artist and record label, discovering and signing new artists to production contracts, producing the recordings and then licensing the finished product to record labels for pressing, promotion and sale. (This was a novel innovation in the popular music field, although a broadly similar system had long been in place in many countries for the production of content for broadcast radio.) The classic example of this transition is renowned British producer George Martin, who worked as a staff producer and A&R manager at EMI for many years, before branching out on his own and becoming a highly successful independent producer with his AIR (Associated Independent Recordings) production company and studios.
As a result of these changes, record producers began to exert a strong influence, not only on individual careers, but on the course of popular music. A key example of this is Phil Spector, who defined the gap between early rock and roll and the Beatles (1959–1964). Although many of Spector's s productions were credited to acts such as The Ronettes, The Crystals, the Righteous Brothers, the Paris Sisters and Bob B. Soxx & the Blue Jeans, in reality they were created using a crack team of top-rank Los Angeles session players (now known as "The Wrecking Crew") and often featured an interchangeable lineup of lead singers, including Ronnie Spector and Darlene Love. The prime example of Spector's modus operandi is the record widely regarded as his masterpiece, "River Deep, Mountain High". It is credited to "Ike & Tina Turner", but it is now well known that Ike Turner was paid $20,000 to stay away from the sessions; the backing track was in fact performed by the Wrecking Crew, and the backing vocals were provided by a chorus of 21 singers — Ikettes Janice Singleton and Diane Rutherford and most of the female singers on Spector's roster, including Ronnie Spector, Darlene Love and Cher. Spector's Wall of Sound production technique also persisted after that time with his select recordings of the Beatles, the Ramones, Leonard Cohen, George Harrison, Dion and Ike and Tina Turner.
Some producers also became de facto recording artists, creating records themselves or with anonymous studio musicians and releasing them under a pseudonym. In the USA, some of the earliest examples in popular music were the novelty records released under the name Alvin & The Chipmunks, which became hits in many countries in the mid-1950s. These records, written, performed and produced by entertainer David Seville, relied on the simple gimmick of recording an instrumental track, then overdubbing the vocals while the tape ran at half-speed. When played back at regular speed, the music would sound normal, and the voices would remain synchronised with the music, but the pitch and timbre of the voices would be dramatically shifted up, creating the instantly recognisable, chirpy "helium" effect. In the UK in the early 1960s, Joe Meek was the first British pop producer to make records with studio-created groups, and he had major hits with singles like "Telstar" and Heinz's "Just Like Eddy".
Other examples of this phenomenon include the records by fictional groups the Archies and Josie & the Pussycats, produced by Don Kirshner and Danny Jansen respectively, who were contracted by TV production companies to produce these records to promote the animated children's TV series of the same name. Similarly, Jeff Barry and Andy Kim recorded as the Archies. The same producer-as-artist phenomenon can be found with many modern-day pop-oriented street- and electronic-music artists. In later years this became a prominent and often successful sideline for major producers, as evidenced by the string of albums by the studio group The Alan Parsons Project (created by former EMI/Abbey Road staff engineer Alan Parsons) and the successful musical adaptation of H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds, devised and produced by former David Essex producer Jeff Wayne.
Another change that occurred for the role of producers occurred progressively over the 1950s and 1960s. The development of multitrack recording and new technology such as electric guitars, amplifiers, and better microphones led to a fundamental change in the way recordings were made. The goal of recording no longer was simply accurately capturing and documenting live performance. Instead producers could manipulate sounds to an unprecedented degree and producers like Spector and Martin were soon creating recordings that were, in practical terms, almost impossible to realise in live performance. Producers became creative figures in the studio and were no longer reserved to the role of functional engineer. Examples of such engineers includes George Martin, Joe Meek, Teo Macero, Phil Spector, Brian Wilson, and Biddu. These producers became known as creative producers who turned the studio into a creative space.
Another notable related phenomenon in the 1960s was the emergence of the performer-producer. As pop acts like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys and The Kinks rapidly gained expertise in studio recording techniques, the leaders of many of these groups eventually took over as producers of their own work, although this was often not credited. For example, many recordings by acts such as The Rolling Stones, The Small Faces, Donovan, The Kinks and The Who are officially credited to their various producers at the time: Andrew Loog Oldham. Mickie Most or Shel Talmy; but a number of these performers have since asserted that many of their recordings in this period were, in practical terms, either self-produced (e.g. The Rolling Stones' Decca recordings) or were collaborations between the group and their recording engineer (e.g. The Small Faces' Immediate recordings, which were made with Olympic Studios engineer Glyn Johns).
Similarly, although The Beatles' productions were credited to George Martin throughout their recording career, many sources now attest that Lennon and McCartney in particular had an increasing influence on the production process as the group's career progressed, and especially after the band retired from touring in 1966. In fact, in an extreme example of this, Martin actually went on a two-week vacation as The Beatles were recording their self-titled 1968 album known as The White Album; production of several completed tracks on the album were credited to The Beatles on internal paperwork at Abbey Road Studios, although the released LP gave sole production credit to Martin.
The Beach Boys are probably the best example of the trend of artists becoming producers - within two years of the band's commercial breakthrough, group leader Brian Wilson had taken over from his father Murry, and he was sole producer of all their recordings between 1963 and 1967. Alongside The Beatles and Martin, Wilson also pioneered many production innovations - by 1964 he had developed Spector's techniques to a new level of sophistication, using multiple studios and multiple "takes" of instrumental and vocal components to capture the best possible combinations of sound and performance, and then using tape editing extensively to assemble a perfect composite performance from these elements.
With the turn of the 21st Century along with the focus on digital audio workstation (DAW) technology, a record producer's role is expected to include many skills. Most producers have roles in songwriting, music composition, sound engineering and audio mastering. The increase in demand for a one-stop-shop multi-instrumentalist type producer led to the modern Record Producer having to take on more of a broader role. Some examples of modern pop music producers include Max Martin, RedOne and Dr. Luke, who have collectively Produced Billboard chart topping artists such as Lady Gaga, Usher, Britney Spears, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry. Rick Rubin is one of the most important cross-genre producers, with production credits almost too numerous to list - Aerosmith, Metallica, LL Cool J, The Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, and dozens of others. Hip-hop producers such as Dr. Dre, Timbaland, DJ Premier, J Dilla, and Kanye West often branch out into serious vocal work and become rappers as well.
With the increase in demand for music videos online such as on YouTube, the traditional tasks of a record producer for independent artists are beginning to include such visual and filmmaking aspects as well. Independent producers such as Korean producer Psy, who produced the world famous viral video for his hit single "Gangnam Style"; Los Angeles-based producer Clarence Jey, who was instrumental in the song "Friday" by Rebecca Black, as well as Australian producer Gotye, who produced the chart topping hit song "Somebody That I Used to Know", performed a broader role in coordinating the music to match the appropriate visual content along with a Viral Marketing campaign.
Equipment and technology[edit]
There are numerous different technologies utilized by the producer. In modern day recordings, recording and mixing tasks are centralized within computers. However, there is also the main mixer, outboard effects gear, MIDI controllers, and the recording device itself.

Saturday Sermon: God's Autograph
One of our readers in Oregon suggested that we would be interested in this, a sermon her pastor preached a couple of years ago. She's right. Dr. Ben Cross, of First Baptist Church in Eugene holds a young earth view of creation. In this message he lays out various positions that evangelicals hold, including what he calls "theistic evolution."

Series: Ephesians 4:1-6: A Call of Christian Unity
This series discusses the importance of unity among Christ's believers. Ross Hastings, an expert in the areas of both chemistry and pastoral theology, is eager to see the church seek out unity rather than divisions in this science/faith interface. Unpacking Ephesians 4:1-6, he explains that unity in Christ through the Holy Spirit is the primary concern of both Jesus as seen in John 17 and Paul in Ephesians 4, making this matter pressing. He urges all believers to be in agreement that God indeed created, yet to be in dialogue over how that creative process occurred.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Evangelicalism and Adaptation
I look my students dead straight in the eye and tell them that no matter what, debate within the intellectual sphere cannot and should not take away or diminish the importance of the personal nature of their faith. The intellect, to use a scientific phrase, while necessary for the faith, is not sufficient
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Made in the Image of God: Human Values and Genomics
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
What is Scientism?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
Series: Thinking Aloud Together
This series by Scot McKnight relates a lecture given at the 2012 BioLogos workshop for Evangelical theologians, scientists, authors and pastors. He explains that evolution is taught in public schools, and therefore must be addressed by Evangelical pastors in the churches as well. This will educate a whole generation of upcoming scientists on the issues of science and faith. Overall, he encourages scientists and pastors to collaborate on the issue as they rethink the long held interpretations of Genesis 1-3.
Why should Christians consider evolutionary creation?
Because evolution is a challenging subject, many Christians are tempted to simply ignore or reject it. Yet considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with the Creator, and with our relationships with other people—believers and non-Christians alike. First, Christians should study evolution because (like all the natural sciences) it is the study of God's creation. Creation itself is a complementary revelation to what is communicated in the Scriptures, and through it God shows how and when he brought about life, to his honor and glory. Studying the creation is also an invitation into a deeper understanding of the attributes and character of Father, Son and Spirit. Second, considering evolutionary creation aids the Church in its gospel mission, supporting young Christians in their faith, helping answer critics, and equipping us to engage effectively in the wider culture. An anti-evolution attitude can harm Christian young people by presenting them with a false choice between pursuing science OR holding to faith. Similarly, a hostile attitude towards evolution can hinder evangelism when seekers hear that they must reject science to follow Christ. On the other hand, studying evolution as a God-ordained process helps Christians refute arguments that science encourages an atheistic worldview. Furthermore, as the church engages front-page issues raised by the rapid growth in science, medicine, and technology, a Christ-centered voice in such areas as bioethics will be stronger if based on a thorough understanding of the natural sciences, including evolution.

Let's Not Surrender Science to the Secular World!
As much as I sympathize with Giberson and Stephens, I am concerned that one of their central assumptions—that there is a divide between 'secular knowledge' and Christian—essentially undermines their very pursuit of a middle ground where the two can be 'integrated'.
The Source of Human Value
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
Art, Worship, Creation, and Imaginative Engagement
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
Six Reasons Young Christians Leave Church
A five-year project headed by the Barna Group explores the opportunities and challenges of faith development among teens and young adults within a rapidly shifting culture.
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
The Galileo Affair: Emblematic or Exceptional?

Agriculture & Food
Most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. A family's plot of land has to provide for their nutritional and economic needs.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced.
Distributing food is necessary in times of crisis, and we always try to procure food from local suppliers to save money, ensure faster delivery and support of the local economy. Learn more about the success of this model in Niger (PDF) ▸
In addition to emergency responses, we quickly focus on long-term solutions that strengthen harvests and livestock for the long-term. Mercy Corps works with families to ensure quality inputs, smart land use, good crop yields and a fair price at local markets.

Wintertime Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention
By: Victor Sotelo
Updated: December 11, 2012
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is produced by incomplete combustion in home heating systems, gas ovens, dryers, fireplaces and automobile engines.
Prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal.
They recomend hiring a qualified heating system professional each year to inspect all natural gas appliances and venting systems in your home to ensure that they are working properly.
Also, be sure you install carbon monoxide detectors in the home on all floors where bedrooms are located.

Aston Martin has unveiled the Vanquish Volante -- a new luxury sports car bringing open-...
Police Tape app can document traffic stops
In a video that looks like something cooked up by elementary-school students, the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey touts its new, free smartphone app called Police Tape. The application allows users to review their rights on the spot and to record both video and audio when stopped by police.
Once recorded, files can automatically be uploaded to external servers, where they are retained and examined by the ACLU for possible civil liberties violations.
According to the ACLU-NJ's Web site, the app will not appear on the smartphone's screen while recording.
The app is only for Android phones, but an iPhone version is due to be released soon. For more information and to get the free download, visit the ACLU-NJ's site here.
Only time will tell how the application fares, but fiddling with a phone while ignoring an officer may result in a "UC Berkeley-Davis Capsicum Face Wash."

"Excellent for Priceline Price I paid"
Reviewed Jun 4, 2013
Karri S | Youngtown, Arizona
I went to San Antonio to visit my daughter who is based at Fort Sam Houston. Since I was staying some of the nights in SAT by myself I did not want to stay in any of the cheaper hotels by the base. I was there over Easter weekend and the hotel was very full. The front desk staff was very helpful with both directions and ideas for places for dinner, and when I accidentally locked my keys inside my suitcase (maintenance has bolt cutters and was quick to respond to cut the lock off). My room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Not too hard and not too soft. Now I booked through a Priceline Express deal (I choose stars and area they choose hotel) and I paid about half of what their normal nightly rate was. For the price I paid this was a great hotel. I might have been less satisfied had I paid over $100.00 a night, however. Despite the hotel being full we always had more than enough to eat at breakfast, and since my sailor daughter was taking full advantage of being able to sleep in, in a bed that was a 1000 times better than the barracks we got there only about a half hour before it was ending each day. They had waffles, cereal, bagels, muffins, yogurt, fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, oatmeal, milk, juices, coffee and tea. At night time the rooms were absolutely quiet and our window looked out at the interchanges of 2 interstates. My daughter commented on how much quieter the room was than one she had stayed in a few weeks prior at a much higher end hotel in San Antonio when her fianc� had come to visit. The pool was still cold, since it was Easter weekend, but the Jacuzzi was perfect. This is not a high end hotel, but it is not a motel, either. It fits the bill for a comfortable, clean (if older) hotel that, if you book on a special, is a great deal. I would stay again, just for the quietness of the rooms and the friendliness of the staff if I could get a good deal pricewise. (I have discovered through my daughter and other mom's who visit their kids on base that San Antonio is NOT an inexpensive town for hotels and the cheap ones are DISGUSTING. So even if I had to pay almost full price, the quietness of the rooms and the fact that I felt safe staying there as a single female occupant would tip me towards staying here again.)

"Second Chance"
Reviewed Jun 3, 2013
ladybugkb | Dallas, Texas
This was my second stay for business and the first time was okay, well the second time was worse. My room had flyers that was tossed under my doorway. Clearly the room was not checked before my arrival. The overwhelming smell was very unpleasant. The bathroom had bugs in it and the carpet had not been vacuumed. As it was very late when arrived and too tired to do anything about it. I left the next morning to hope that my room would have a different smell along with being cleaned. I came back to have it freshly cleaned so the smell was masked. The bathroom was dirty still and clearly not cleaned. After working and eating the smell started to return....I will not be a returning customer.

"An okay hotel for an overnight stay"
Reviewed Jun 3, 2013
knr | Spring/Houston, TX
Picked this hotel due to the low rate that was offered. The hotel was clean and nice, but could easily tell it was an older hotel. The rooms had lower ceilings than a lot of other chain hotels we have been to, bathroom also had short shower head, so bad for tall people. Husband is 6'3" and could easily touch ceiling. Bed was wonderful and firm!! The location bid difficult to get to, maybe depends on which way you are coming from. Don't rely on GPS, follow the hotel directions. Our GPS told us the wrong exit, then had to travel a couple miles out of the way to turn around. Hotel was very quiet, never heard any airplanes either.

"Busy but tired hotel"
Reviewed Jun 3, 2013
William G | Wimberley, Texas
We have stayed at this La Quinta several times because of its proximity to the airport. Their shuttle to the airport worked well for us. During this stay we found a missing light bulb in one of our wall lamps and our air conditioner never cooled the room to a comfortable level. There are newer hotels close by and we will probably seek an alternative to La Quinta the next time we fly.

For a war vet from South Florida, a leisurely road trip to a seaside vacation came to an abrupt end in Mexico, where he has languished behind bars for four months, sometimes chained to a bed.
For the first few months, Jon Hammar's parents kept his plight out of the public eye, fearing that media attention could bring harm to him in prison.
But now they are coming forward, hoping the publicity will push Mexican authorities to act.
Hammar, 27, is being held in the border town of Matamoros, just across from Brownsville, Texas.
It is notorious as the home of the Gulf Cartel, one of Mexico's major drug trafficking organizations.
"The only reason they were going to stop was to get more gas," his father said.
Hammar, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Marine, was headed to Costa Rica in August to go surfing with a fellow veteran.
He had surfed there before and packed every good surf board he had, his parents said.
But he also took one item that quickly became troublesome: an antique shotgun handed down from his great-grandfather.
He intended to hunt with it, his parents said. And he declared it with U.S. border agents.

In an effort to encourage reading among children, three Richmond County libraries have selected winners for their Summer Reading programs this year.
"Every year, we have a summer reading program as part of the Sandhills Regional Library System, where we encourage children to read," said Peggy Wilkes, children's coordinator at Leath Memorial Library in Rockingham. "They come to the programs and we bring in performers like magicians and musicians. We even have clowns that come and encourage the children to read, also. After that, (children) check out books to read and we keep them on a reading record. At the end of the summer reading year, we tally them up and choose a winner from Hamlet, Ellerbe and Rockingham, and that winner receives a grand prize."
This year, the libraries decided on bean bags so each winner could enjoy a comfortable and cozy reading environment.
Winner for the Leath Memorial Library was Rafy Christie, who won the prize for reading the most books during Summer Reading.
"(Rafy) is 6 years old and attends Temple Christian School," Wilkes said. "He loves baseball, soccer and reading books, of course. Rafy has been coming to our story times here at the Leath Library since he was a toddler, and now that he has grown, he attends our Summer Reading programs. This was a very special summer for Rafy — he was able to get his own library card."
Winners of the Hamlet Public Library summer reading program were Austin, Hayden, Carson and Hudson Hadinger.
"We had a wonderful Summer Program, and are looking forward to our Star Wars Reading Day on October 5," said Belinda Norton, children's coordinator at Hamlet Public Library.
Jaylyn Efird was named the winner at Kemp Memorial Library in Ellerbe.
For more information about local library programs, contact 910-895-6337, 910-652-6130 or 910-582-3477.

Besides the obvious of catching up on finances, paying down credit cards, etc., im going to SHOCK my wife. I am going to let her spend $500.00 on whatever her little heart desires, hopefully, she'll get all the shoes she needs for 2010, doubt it'll work, but i'm sick of arguing about money, ya know?
So, i'm going to give myself a $200.00 budget. Should i ramp up on Discs, get a basket, disc golf apparel?

It's Como Time
Franco Villa/ Splash
George Clooney, his producing partner Grant Heslov, and Matt Damon have been shooting The Monuments Men in Germany the last couple of months. Evidently they needed a break. So they spent a few days in Italy... It's almost summertime. Which means it's Como Time. At least it is for George, who has no wife and children to go back to during his down time. Full Story
I guess it's not happening...?
Bauer, Said Elatab/ Splash
Despite how hard we've been wishing it. Or maybe just me. Here's Nicholas Hoult out in New York yesterday with Riley Keough. They worked together on the new Mad Max movie and partied together after the MET Gala with some other Mad Max co-stars. Keough, Elvis's granddaughter (!!!! Why don't people care more about this?

MET Most Surprising: Stacy Keibler

I don't hate it. Not at all. It's far from the worst of the night. Or the most boring. Or the most Try. It's not a mega standout but that's OK too. It wouldn't have been possible for Stacy Keibler, without George Clooney, to rise to the top anyway. But middle of the pack is about right. Full Story
Jennifer & Nicholas: back together?
Sorry for waiting on this story. There was an embargo on these photos until 9pm last night and I didn't want to just link to them because it's always much better to have the images on hand. Duana and I were driving back from London, ON yesterday when I was asking Jacek to acquire these shots. Full Story
Bradley Cooper must really like her
His model girlfriend, Suki Waterhouse, I mean. Because they're in Paris together. And the paps say this was a "romantic stroll". And he also had her on his bike for a manly hot ride through the city. And since he speaks, that would have helped too. But… does he not know she's only 20? You don't need to try that hard when they're 20. Full Story
Holding hands in a scrunchie
Britney Spears and her boyfriend went out for groceries today. They held hands on their way out. You think he's moved in yet? It's been a couple months now, right? Britney doesn't do the slow date.

She is still a pose-hard on a red carpet but... Lea Michele smells a lot less Try these days, non? She smiles more than she open-mouth gapes when she's getting her picture taken.

Feel free to PM me for details.
if we lose this game, im going to be PISSED
They made their run. Gotta respond.
We can't screw this up with 5 minutes left to go...
Aminu needs to get his butt chewed out by playing so stupid the last few possessions.

Starting 5: C Tyson Chandler | PF Brian Grant | SF Corliss Williamson | SG Mike Miller | PG Gilbert Arenas
Key Reserves: Scot Pollard | Channing Frye | James Thomas | John Salmons | Tony Allen | Milt Palacio
Aminu needs to sit his *** on the bench. Put Miller and Anderson back in. We need to keep them honest.
Rivers, Vasquez, Miller, Anderson, and Smith need to finish out this game.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Really don't want to drop this one. Need to find a way to get Ryno the ball coming out of the timeout.
Come on guys pull it together.
I wouldn't be against putting in Miller right now.
He might not create as many plays as Aminu does, but he makes far less mistakes. We don't need mistakes right now.
Bwahaha Aminu is so bad hes good. I loved his faceplant pass it was perfection.
How do you NOT cover a guy who has already made NINE 3-pointers in the game?
Time to get Anderson back in it. I'm happy for Rivers cuz production like this consistently will be JUST what the doctor ordered. More specifically Gerry V ordered it. But I'm not sure he got his doctorate.
Anywho. Anderson needs to hit...oh...about two daggers.
cmon basketball gods. don't get my hopes up.
Welcome back J Smitty!!!
Also, Vasquez in his last 3 - Turnovers = 6,6,7(+?). If there are questions bout his viability as a starting 1, it's becoming more and more evident he doesn't have the footspeed to play 1 against the starters in the NBA.
Eric Gordon must have gotten a new PR guy in LA.

Next month, Comcast will be announcing three exciting new services to join StreamPix: StreamJamz, StreamGamz and StreamPeeps. Like StreamPix, content downloaded or streamed from any of these new services will be exempt from the company's monthly data caps.
StreamJamz is an unlimited streaming music service, similar to offerings from Spotify, Grooveshark and Sony.
StreamGamz is an unlimited video game download and multiplayer gaming platform, similar to offerings from Steam and EA's Origin.
StreamPeeps is a VoIP 1080p HD video conferencing service, similar to offerings from Skype and Apple.
All 4 services are included with XFINITY HD Triple Play packages for no additional charge. You can add any of the streaming services to other packages for only $4.99 a month per service.
**********[ 3 months later ]***********
Comcast has announced the addition of an 'Internet-Lite' option for all of their XFINITY High Speed Internet plans. Any current plan can be converted to a 'Lite' plan, which will include a $20 discount off regular rates, and lower the monthly data cap to 10GB. This should come as great news for XFINITY Triple Play customers who already have unlimited access to XFINITY's great SteamPix, StreamJamz, StreamGamz and StreamPeeps services for all of their streaming video, music, gaming and video-conferencing needs. One stop shop entertainment, no need to subscribe to multiple services.
***********[ 2 years later ]************
Comcast has announced that it will be raising rates on all of their XFINITY High Speed Internet plans by $25. This includes their 10GB capped 'Lite' plans, as well as their regular 250GB plans. At a recent stockholder meeting, a top Comcast executive was heard saying, "We believe the added value of our unlimited SteamPix, StreamJamz, StreamGamz and StreamPeeps services warrant the price increase, as they provide our customers with all of their streaming video, music, gaming and video-conferencing needs, without having to worry about silly data caps.
And just like that, Comcast has managed to lower the data cap on their broadband plans to a measly 10GB, while actually raising the price, and putting Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, Grooveshark, Steam, Origin, Skype, Apple, all in a greatly disadvantaged competitive position. By not blocking any particular competing service, Comcast will have managed to sidestep Net-Neutrality restrictions, while severely limiting how much their customers can use any competing services. Yes, I made all of this up, but there's nothing stopping Comcast from following this plan to the letter (including the stupid service plan names), if their new StreamPix service is allowed to proceed unchallenged by the FTC.
With nothing stopping them, Time Warner, Verizon, AT&T et al will surely follow suit. How long will Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, Grooveshark, Skype and the rest of the free-market competition last? How many new services, like the one Sony was considering, will never have been started? And most US customers don't have many, if any options when choosing their ISP, so they can't just go somewhere else if they don't like Comcast's (or whoever)'s offerings. The FTC needs to step in now, to stop ISP's from dictating what their networks can be used for, and putting countless competitors out of business.

Comments On Feb 17, 2012:This battery worth the money. It may be a little more but it is very good. It does not come with acid but i bought it for 4 dollars at auto zone. Do not cut off the little tub on the side because the drain tube slides onto that. Overall very good battery.

The Golden State Warriors ran into a buzz saw in Indiana on Tuesday and saw their three-game winning streak come to an end. The New York Knicks, who host the Warriors on Wednesday, are hoping Sunday's win was the one that will get them back on track in time to chase down the Pacers in the Eastern Conference. The Knicks edged the stumbling Philadelphia 76ers to snap a four-game slide.Golden State was trying to pull back to .500 on the road on Tuesday but could not overcome Indiana, which also laid a 125-91 beat down on New York last week. That was part of a four-game stretch in which the Knicks failed to reach 100 points and fell twice to the Toronto Raptors. The Warriors had been impressive in winning the first two of their three-game streak, but struggled to overcome the Minnesota Timberwolves in a one-point win on Sunday and fell off in the second half against the Pacers on Tuesday to continue a trend of disappointing road performances.TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN, Comcast SportsNet Bay Area (Golden State), MSG (New York)ABOUT THE WARRIORS (33-24): Stephen Curry, who scored a season-high 38 points, was the only one who seemed to have his legs under him all the way through at Indiana on Tuesday. Golden State had snapped a five-game road losing streak with the win at Minnesota but has looked much more impressive at home. The Warriors knocked off the San Antonio Spurs in overtime at home on Friday but struggled to fight off the Timberwolves before falling to the Pacers. Golden State has gone 9-6 on the second night of back-to-back sets this season but will be facing their second consecutive physical defensive team in the Knicks. The Warriors will try to spread New York thin on the perimeter with Curry, Klay Thompson and Jarrett Jack but could be forced to use a bigger lineup to combat the interior strength of Tyson Chandler. That is where Andrew Bogut could prove useful, but Golden State's center has missed the last three games with back spasms and is questionable for the rest of the road trip.ABOUT THE KNICKS (33-20): New York was knocked off its perch as the No. 2 seed in the East by the Pacers, who are now a game ahead of the Knicks. New York has been held to 92.8 points in its last five games, including Sunday's 99-93 triumph over the 76ers. The Knicks' starters have struggled to hit shots during the scoring drought, led by Carmelo Anthony's 38.1 field goal percentage in the last five contests. Anthony went 6-for-18 on Sunday but connected on 16 of 18 free throws to finish with 29 points. Jason Kidd (19 percent) and Iman Shumpert (19 percent) have been even worse among the starting five. The bright spot has been the bench play of Amar'e Stoudemire, who helped carry the team in stretches on Sunday in a 9-for-10 shooting performance.BUZZER BEATERS1. Warriors All-Star F David Lee, who spent the first five years of his career with New York, has averaged 20.5 points and 7.5 rebounds in two games against his former team.2. Golden State has taken five of the last six meetings, including wins in its last two trips to Madison Square Garden.3. Knicks F Rasheed Wallace (foot) and C Marcus Camby (foot) each returned to practice this week and both are questionable for Wednesday.PREDICTION: Knicks 95, Warriors 91.
