I love Asian food. I love the fresh ingredients and the ease with which I can cook up a healthy meal full of wonderful flavors and aromas. If I had my way this is all I would eat.
I think my favorite is Thai. One of my favorite eating places in the town where I live is a restaurant called Thai Spice. The food is always beautifully cooked, well presented and the taste is divine.
My brother's girlfriend is Thai and on their last visit both she and my brother cooked up 3 Thai dishes for dinner one night. I just loved it and was eating it as leftovers for the next two days. That's saying a lot for me because I am just not into eating leftovers.
But as always, I am getting sidetracked as I really wanted to talk about woks. I think woks would have to be one of the most useful of cookware items. They are reasonably priced and at a pinch can cook a multitude of things over and above the normal Asian cuisine.
The shape of a wok ensures that food is cooked evenly and quickly and it is a healthy alternative as minimal fat is required in order to sear foods.
The key to cooking in a wok are high temperatures and continual stirring of the ingredients.
It is also not necessary to spend a lot of money on a wok in order to ensure good cooking results.

In a post on EMR and EHR about Transcriptionists Partnering with an EMR Vendor, I got an interesting comment by George Catuogno from StenTel about the various technologies that the Medical Transcription (MT) industry are using alongside EMR software. George called the use of transcription with an EHR "practical use" while still showing "meaningful use." I think it's a mistake for any EMR company to ignore the transcription industry.
Here's George's description of the medical transcription technologies which I think people will find interesting:
The Medical Transcription (MT) industry actually has done a lot to advance itself amidst HIT, particularly EHR technologies, while supporting narrative dictation, which for many physicians is still the preferred method of information capture because it's fast and easy (efficient) and it tends to more comprehensively captures the patient "story". DRT, BESR and NLP are three examples of this. I'll save the best for last.
1. Discrete Reportable Transcription (DRT) is the process of converting narrative dictation into text documents with discrete data elements than can be easily imported into the appropriate placeholders inside an EMR.
2. Backend Speech Recognition (BESR) has been in play for years which allows physicans to dictate without engaging the computer for realtime correction. The correction is instead done retrospectively by a medical transcriptionist. Some speech rec technologies (like M*Modal) support data structuring. The gap remains, however, in getting applications written that readily move that strucutred infomration into EHRs like DRT can.
3. Natural Language Processing (NLP) trumps both of these solutions because it takes a narrative report, regardless of how it was created, and codifies it (SNOMED) for a number of extraction, analytics and reporting applications: Patient Summary, DRT feed into an EMR, Core Measures and PQRI, coding automation, interoperability, and support for the majority of Meaningful Use requirements. Secondary use opens up to clinical trials and other applications as well.
Overall, if the transcription industry can market itself and get its messaging out through the right channels regaridng these innovations that augment transcription and keep physicians dictating, then transcription is a terrific EHR adoption facilitator, enables "practical use" along with Meaningful Use, and will remain relevant for the foreseeable future.

"Stop the Blame Game" and Get Serious About Addressing Nation's Fiscal Challenges: Lee Hamilton '52
March 18, 2013
"As the deadline for congressionally mandated budget cuts known as the sequester came and went, we got a taste of how difficult cutting federal spending actually turns out to be," notes Lee Hamilton. The veteran statesman and 1952 DePauw University graduate, who has been called "Mr. Integrity" by Newsweek, adds, "Yet as painful as the sequester might be, most policymakers know that it is not the main event when it comes to our fiscal challenges. Discretionary spending, the kind getting cut in the sequester, amounts to less than a third of federal spending."
In a newspaper op-ed, Hamilton writes, "Whenever I give talks about the federal budget I'm taken aback by where my listeners think most of our money gets spent ... If you think of federal spending as a pie, by far the biggest slices go to Social Security and unemployment support, Medicare, Medicaid and other health programs, which altogether make up well over half. Military spending accounts for about another quarter, while the next biggest slice, about 7 percent, is for interest on the federal debt -- a figure that will explode in upcoming years. Everything else we think of as the federal government -- spending on highways and the aviation system, money for student loans and other education programs, housing, food stamps, medical research and, yes, foreign aid -- comes in at under one-fifth of the total."
The Democrat who served 34 years in the U.S. House of Representatives continues, "The biggest driver of growth in federal spending, as Nate Silver of the New York Times pointed out in a thoughtful analysis in January, is entitlements: Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and other social insurance programs. This is especially true of health care, which accounted for about half of the increase in federal spending relative to the economy over the last 40 years. We cannot get control of federal spending without reining in health-care spending -- and though its rate of increase has slackened over the last few years, no one knows whether it's a permanent or temporary change."
Hamilton asserts, "if Congress and the White House are serious about tackling federal spending, then the piece they left out of the sequester -- entitlement reform -- must be on the table. But it's been hard to tell from their actions that they're really serious." Polls indicate Americans want government spending cut, but when it comes to specifics they want things left alone, he notes.
"This is why it takes extraordinary leadership to address our fiscal issues," Hamilton states. "Americans may bear some responsibility, but our leaders have not leveled with us about what it takes to get a sensible budget and put the economy on a path to recovery." He asks, "Let's stop the blame game and get to work."
Read the full column at the website of the Indianapolis Star.
Now director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University, Lee Hamilton co-chaired the 9/11 Commission and Iraq Study Group and was recently appointed a Professor of Practice at Indiana University's School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA).
Hamilton majored in history as an undergraduate and starred on the Tiger basketball team (and is a member of both the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame and the DePauw Athletic Hall of Fame). He has been a frequent visitor to DePauw over the years, and delivered an Ubben Lecture on March 15, 2011.Back

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Commodity markets, particularly gold and oil, have been clinging to hope that the U.S. government will strike a deal to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, but starting to trade as if it won't.
Gold GCZ2, -0.62% and oil CLF3, +0.00% prices marked their third-straight losing session on Wednesday, in part due to uncertainty linked to the fiscal cliff, which refers to a combination of hundreds of billions in spending cuts and tax hikes that take effect at the start of the year if the nation's lawmakers can't reach a compromise.
"As we get closer and closer to the end of the year or, more importantly, when Congress goes home for the Christmas holiday, buyers in all markets will not commit to the market," said Tariq Zahir, managing member at Tyche Capital Advisors. "We are already starting to see that. But as we get closer, we feel shorts will start to put some money to work."
So as the wrangling in Washington wears on, so will the volatility in the commodities markets.
"When it looks like a deal will be reached, all markets react positively and when it looks like a deal will not be reached, the markets react negatively," said Bradford Cooke, chief executive officer and director of Endeavour Silver Corp. EXK, -0.50% That's because "slashing spending and raising taxes reduces economic activity … and pushes the U.S. economy into recession or even worse — deflation and depression."
But right now, there are many different variations on potential deals to avert the cliff.
They include a $4 trillion deficit reduction over 10 years, plus some reform to entitlement programs such as Social Security or Medicare, and an extension of the former President George W. Bush-era tax cuts and either preventing or spreading out the time period for cuts to defense and non-defense spending.There's also a proposed deal that would pursue tax reform and possibly entitlement reform in another six months.
But for commodity traders, the details aren't quite as important as simply finding out whether a deal is reached or not — and if there's a deal, whether it's a short-term or long-term fix.
A no-deal scenario isn't likely, while the chances for a complete resolution with far-reaching decisions about higher revenues and spending cuts, including cuts in entitlements, are slight, said Malcolm Gissen, co-manager of the Encompass Fund US:ENCPX
He expects to see a partial solution that will leave many issues unresolved. That can be viewed as a positive as the cliff would be avoided, he said, and would, in the short term, be good for the dollar and negative for gold.
Gold's safe-haven tendencies
Even so, for gold there's potential for price climbs under just about every fiscal-cliff scenario, depending on who you ask.
"The biggest impact the fiscal cliff issue has on gold is its effect on risk taking in the markets," said Brien Lundin, editor of Gold Newsletter. "When there's hope of a deal in the air, a 'risk on' sentiment takes hold that buoys the gold price."
"Conversely, when pessimism reigns supreme, speculators pull their horns and go to cash, which hurts gold on the margin," he said.
But Elliott Orsillo, co-founder and portfolio manager at Season Investments LLC, pointed out that the type of deal can impact gold in different ways.
The more a compromise seeks to "kick the can down the road" by not addressing the problems at hand, the more bullish it will be for commodities in general, he said. "It would be most bullish for gold since it would further degrade the confidence in the U.S. dollar and the U.S. government's ability to make good on their debt."
A weaker greenback tends to lift prices for dollar-denominated commodities, including the yellow metal.
A good example of such a compromise would be if the government was to agree to pursue tax reform in another six months, essentially dragging out the issue.
"That would light a fire under the metals because it would signal a complete lack of serious resolve to create a cure," said Phil Storer, director of trading at Dillon Gage Inc.
But if a deal was reached on a $4 trillion deficit reduction, that "would hurt both gold and silver, both of which owe their lofty values to a continuing demoralized dollar," he said. The dollar, instead, should get a bounce because it would appear to the world, at least initially, "that we are doing something significant to avoid financial collapse."
And if there was no deal to avert the fiscal cliff, commodities would "likely sell off on global growth fears," though gold will probably hold up better than other commodities, "as it could see some inflows as a safe-haven asset," said Orsillo.
Then there's the camp that believes that no matter happens, gold will benefit.
"Almost no matter what — barring some bizarre miracle like Democrats and Republicans deciding to sing … 'Give Peace a Chance' and holding hands, coupled with an unexpected Internet-revolution-esque surge in productivity — what they'll agree to or what will be forced on the economy will be viewed as inflationary," said Seth Rabinowitz, who covers commodities as a partner at Silicon Associates. Gold is often seen as a hedge against inflation.
And with a resolution or not, the U.S. will likely see accelerated increases in taxes and money printing and that points to higher prices for safe-haven gold, he said.
Oil's dilemma
The oil market, on the other hand, has to worry about ample supplies on top of the impact a fiscal-cliff deal or no deal would have on demand.
"If a deal is not struck, the U.S. economy will grind to a halt which will likely find the U.S. leading the world into another global recession," said Roy Friedman, executive vice president of business development for Dillon Gage Metals.
"It is difficult to say what would happen to gold and oil under this scenario as the weak U.S. dollar will propel both higher, but a global economic downturn would certainly have a negative impact on oil prices," he said.
Tyche Capital's Zahir said that if leaders fail to make a deal and the economy foes over the cliff and falls into recession, that would add more pressure to an already well-supplied market and demand would take another hit, possibly taking crude down to the $70-per-barrel level in "rather quick fashion."
At the same time, the cuts to military spending will hurt oil demand, since the U.S. military is the world's single-largest industrial consumer of oil, said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at Price Futures Group.
Certain compromises on the fiscal cliff may benefit oil prices, but the impact isn't as clear-cut as it may be for gold.
"Any 'deal' made to extend tax cuts or water down the fiscal cliff legislation would send a clear message to our trading partners that the U.S. is not willing to go through austerity and this would benefit gold the most," said David Morgan, publisher of The Morgan Report.
"Other nations would see the U.S. as a paper tiger and would know the U.S. dollar is doomed to further depreciation," he said. "Oil could benefit but it is not as clear a picture because fiscal expansion would pressure all commodities to the upside but other than monetary assets (gold and silver), oil is not always considered a store of value."

Vine mealybug must be a serious California grape pest if the powers at the UC Kearney Ag Center in Parlier, Calif., will not let university IPM specialist Walt Bentley rear vine mealybug in a greenhouse, but will let his peer Kent Daane established a black widow spider Disneyland vineyard on the station.
Bentley has been one of the point researchers on the vine mealybug and wanted to test materials in a Kearney greenhouse. Station managers told him he could rear grape mealybug in the greenhouse, but not vine mealybug. Too dangerous to other things in the greenhouse.
Wine grape growers and table grape growers have been aggressively battling a growing vine mealybug problem in the state. Unfortunately, Bentley told those at the annual table grape seminar in Visalia, Calif., recently some raisin growers are waiting until there is a serious problem to deal with he vine mealybug.
Waiting until it gets bad or ignoring it can result in crawler numbers of 800 per spur like Bentley found last year in a raisin vineyard in Del Rey, Calif. Numbers like that foretell a serious economic battle to control the pest that will serve as an infection point for neighboring vineyards.
Left alone, numbers like that can heavily coat grapes with honeydew and ruin the fruit; reduce sugar levels at harvest and spread diseases like leaf roll virus, Bentley told growers and pest control advisers at the table grape conference sponsored by the California Table Grape Commission and the UC Cooperative Extension.
Be ever diligent for what has become public enemy No. 1 for California grape growers, he warned. Alert workers to be on the lookout for tiny white spots on leaves, a sure sign of vine mealybug. That is also a sure way to tell a grower has a resident populations of grape or vine mealybug. Bentley has never seen a grape mealybug on a leaf, only its cousin vine.
As with black widow spiders, vine mealybug begin to move up the vine in the spring. From October until spring vine mealybug live on vine roots. Now is a good time to control the immatures with Applaud, an insect growth regulator that has proven very effective in Bentley's trials. The vine mealybugs are in a pinhead stage when they start moving out of the ground and up the vine. They are weakened from overwintering. They have no wax coating, making them very susceptible to an insecticide.
Long residual
Applaud has a three-week residual. "It certainly makes this product one that would be looked at closely when a grape farmer is approaching bud break and can no longer use Lorsban," he said.
This plan of attack must be implemented early.
"If you have not managed vine mealybug before July, you might as well give up until later," said Bentley.
"There is a tremendous post harvest benefit to treating vine mealybug in October and November with Lorsban," said Bentley.
"Unfortunately Lorsban is a priority one material and on the environmental chopping block right now because of the runoff issue," said Bentley. However, runoff should not be a major issue in vineyards irrigated with drip systems.
A post-harvest Lorsban treatment could also take care of a black widow issue in table grapes. However, the other product recommended for black widows, Danitol, is not particularly effective against vine mealybug.
Admire is a systemic material that has also proven effective in controlling vine mealybug. It requires 32 ounces of material through a drip system split in two application, 16 ounces each in April and June.
There is a new product due on the market soon. It is Movento from Bayer CropScience that Bentley says works worked as well as if not better than Applaud.
It has an uptake advantage. Unlike Admire that is taken into the plant xylem and then transmitted to the phloem where the vine mealybug feeds, the systemic Movento is taken directly into the phloem of the grape.
This new unregistered product is also effective on all growth stages of the vine mealybug.
It was even effective in a July application trial, a timing when currently registered insecticides are not effective.

NEW YORK — Things have been moving so quickly this year for Tony Yazbeck, who grew up in Bethlehem, that he hasn't had time to squeeze in something important — his honeymoon.
The singer and dancer got married four days after his glorious revival of "On the Town" opened last fall, and he and his bride never got to relax on a beach or even enjoy much of a break.
Instead, Yazbeck threw himself into what he calls "one of the most physically exhausting shows I've ever done in my life." He comes home late and ices his lower body. He eats bananas for potassium and craves magnesium.
"My wife is my hero. I have no idea how I would have gotten through this...

Assignment #5: Deserts
OP's offices are located in Southern California so we're never far from some of the most spectacular desert scenery in the world here. When I first came to Southern California I didn't have any appreciation for how varied the landscape can be in different desert environments. After exploring the high deserts of Joshua Tree, the dunes of Death Valley and the wildflowers of Anza-Borrego, I developed a special appreciation for an environment that gets a bad rap as a barren wasteland. Show us some of your desert scenes in this week's assignment.

Artpark & Company President George Osborne presented Lewiston Police Department Chief Chris Salada and Town of Lewiston Supervisor Steve Reiter with a check Wednesday for the LPD, recognizing outstanding work during the 2012 season - particularly the popular "First Niagara presents Tuesday in the Park" outdoor concerts. Over the course of the 12-week series, 100,000 people enjoyed music from top-name acts, including Foreigner, Heart, Steve Miller Band, Sheryl Crow and more at the newly renovated Artpark Amphitheater.
Each week, the Lewiston Police Department and Town of Lewiston Parks Department set up barricades on the Robert Moses Parkway and Center Street, allowing for the slip ramp to be used for quick exit after the concerts.
"(It was) another great, successful season with little or no major incidents," Reiter said. "Our police department did exactly what we expected. What other community has this kind of venue and can support it and have it go so well and improve the quality of life within our town?"
Artpark also expressed gratitude to the Lewiston Police Department for managing traffic after the concerts, as well as maintaining a safe environment for the people in the Village of Lewiston during all of Artpark's summer events.
Artpark averaged almost 8,500 patrons per week at the "Tuesday in the Park" concert series.
Salada recently told the Village of Lewiston Board of Trustees that his department had an eventful summer with Lewiston's myriad festivals, Artpark programs, Lewiston Council on the Arts concerts, and day-to-day activities.
"I'd like to recognize the hard work all our Lewiston officers did this summer keeping the village residents safe during our very busy season," he said.
"I think our officers do a great job, and they deserve the thanks they seldom hear."

This coming week will mark the 78th year for the Rolla Lions Club annual Fourth of July celebration.
This coming week will mark the 78th year for the Rolla Lions Club annual Fourth of July celebration.
The event will be Wednesday, July 3, through Saturday, July 6, at the Lions Club Park in Rolla.
As always the carnival will be complete with fun rides and games. Sixty-four-year-old Peter Schmidt, a Rolla Lions Club member, has worked the carnival for more than 20 years now.
While he says that the setup for the carnival is a drag, proceeds from the event all go to a good cause — Rolla Lions Club service projects.
Parking and admission to the carnival are free, but games, rides and food will cost.
Schmidt said that he will be running the bingo stand once again this year. The event relies on the help of all Lions Club members as well as a team of volunteers.
The carnival's ticket booths and food stands open at 6 p.m. each night. Rides start and 6:30 p.m. and games begin at 7 p.m.
Wristbands will be available for $20, which will allow carnival-goers the opportunity to ride on any ride. Wristbands will cost $15 Saturday, July 6, for matinee hours from 12:30-4 p.m.
State of the art fireworks will be displayed Thursday, July 4, and Saturday, July 6, at 11 p.m.
Finally, a raffle will occur for various prizes each day of the carnival with a nightly drawing at 10 p.m.
This year's grand prize drawing will be for a 2013 Dodge Rally Redline Challenger and will occur at midnight Saturday, July 6.
Tickets for the raffle are $1 each or 6 for $5.

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert believes his former club Borussia Dortmund can win this year's Champions League despite competition from European heavyweights Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
While Lambert is navigating a Premier League relegation battle with Villa, his former team are through to the quarter-finals of Europe's premier club competition, and he believes they could go all the way.
Lambert only spent one season at Dortmund, winning the Champions League after a 3-1 victory over Juventus in the 1997 final, but he moved back to Germany to earn his coaching badges after his career concluded.
The former Scotland international told Yahoo! in a press release sent to GiveMeFootball: "[BVB boss] Jurgen Klopp was on the same coaching course as me and you can see what a transformation he has made at Dortmund.
"In fact, if you think of one team who might be a good outside bet for the Champions League then that would be Dortmund because of the way that they're playing and the young, enthusiastic lads that they have in their squad. Plus their fan base is huge.
"Jurgen has done a phenomenal job at Dortmund, he has been a revelation for the team and for the crowd who have bought into the way he manages. After winning the Bundesliga back-to-back the previous two seasons, it seems at the moment that Dortmund's priority is the Champions League."
Lambert also believes the rivalry between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich will intensify when former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola takes over at the Allianz Arena at the beginning of next season.
"Bayern Munich are running away with the league and everyone saw how strong they were against Arsenal," he said. "When Pep Guardiola joins them in the summer that will really enhance them further and Dortmund will have to match that."
The former Norwich manager praised German football as a whole, claiming it was more professional and passionate than in Britain.
He said: "Low ticket prices can help you to maintain the large fan bases, it is big business and I saw that even when I was over there. The games always sell out and you can be in a stadium 90 minutes before kick off and they'll be jam packed, but in Britain fans typically flood in with about 15 minutes to go.
"German TV coverage is excellent too; they don't approach football as a hobby but as a profession."
And Lambert admitted he could see himself managing abroad in the future, taking a path travelled with various degrees of success and failure in the past by others.
"You can never say never because you just don't know what is going to happen," he concluded. "It's like being a professional footballer when people ask you the same question really. I loved my time abroad and I think it's great for your education to experience a different environment. If you get the opportunity it's a great thing to do."

Post subject: Can't get Graflite to fire flashbulb
Hello everyone. I'm new to this site and almost as new to Graflex photography.
I found a Pacemaker Crown Graphic 2x3 at an antique mall for $30! What a steal. I've been using it since October '08 with some good results and am learning more about the camera (and photography in general!) all the time.
I found a two cell Graflite at a reasonable price on eBay (I guess the movie fans missed this one). It has the 5" reflector and is Catalog # 2772; the camera has the Kodak Flash Supermatic lens/shutter, Ektar f:4.5 101mm. I bought a NOS synch cord, coiled, with what looks like a 2 prong AC plug at a 90 degree angle on one end, and a two hole female jack on the other. I connected the female end to the two prongs just below the synch cocking lever, and the AC plug into the Shutter connection on the Graflite. The circuit control on the Graflite is set to N. I have tried the flash using both the F and M settings; since I'm using GE#5 bulbs I believe the correct setting would be F.
All this being said, I get no flashbulb operation at all, except if I press the red button on the Graflite battery holder. Is the problem with the shutter/synchronizer? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, thank God for Mike Butkus and his vintage photography manuals! If you download any of his manuals, please send him a contribution.

I sounds like it's time to get digit volt ohm meter or at least a circuit tester. From what you've said, you've done everything right. But the circuit isn't closing.
The first thing i'd do is find some fine sand or emery paper (320 to 600) or some 0000 steel wool and polish up the bipost contacts and the forks. With the NOS cord attached to the shutter, attach the meter (set to 'continuity') to each fork of the other end of the cord. Cock and trip the shutter when it's set at M. If the meter doesn't beep (or circuit tester light) try different shutter settings, going lower, sometimes the connection is to brief to be seen by a continutiy tester (which is nothing more that an Ice pick, some batteries a light bulb and a wire).
If you don't have continuity on any shutter speed, then pull the cord and test the shutter and cord separately, then the flash. The fact that the flash can pop a bulb on its own is a good sign. It means nobody has gutted it.
If it's the shutter, you can open it up and polish the contacts. If it's the cord then you'll need a new one rather than a new old one, try paramount cords.
Also do a search here on the graflex helpboard. Some Supermatics have a resistor inside that needs to be shorted with a piece of wire from one terminal to a screw head.

I too suspect the cord. When you see NOS cords these days, think they could have been made back in the 1950s. I've seen a lot of these cords with brittle covering which would break when bent. A continuity check as Les suggested will rule that out.
There are bulb test lights still out there to be bid on which will show the complete setup is working w/o having to waste an expensive bulb. Watch for them.

Thanks Les and Alec. I'll check that out with my Fluke when I go back to work 2-16. I was just hoping it wasn't the shutter. I use mostly natural light, but thought it would be fun to play with flash.

Remember to cock the shutter and the synchronizer delay lever Too.
I guess that I could get a digital camera but it would be obsolete in a couple of years (three tops). Or I could use my 3x4 Anniversary Speed Graphic. Heck, it's been obsolete for 50 years. That's way better than digital.

I had a nice image of a flash reflector burned into my retina for about an hour after wiggling such a cord!

The Lumineers
Photo: Jade Ehlers
The Lumineers Visit The Recording Academy
Folk-rock trio the Lumineers visited The Recording Academy's headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., recently to participate in an exclusive GRAMMY.com interview and perform a brief acoustic set. The Lumineers discussed their formation, their self-titled debut album, performing live, and future plans, among other topics, and performed songs such as "Ho Hey," "Slow It Down" and "Stubborn Love."
"We began writing the album about three years before we started recording it," said vocalist/guitarist Wesley Schultz regarding their debut album, The Lumineers. "We ended up doing many, many rough drafts of songs, many of which didn't make the album. It was kind of a long process before we got into the actual studio. By the time we got there, we had a good idea of what we were aiming to do."
The Lumineers formed in 2002 in Ramsey, N.J., when childhood friends Schultz and Jeremiah Fraites turned to writing music as a means to cope with the drug-related death of Fraite's brother, Josh Fraites. The duo subsequently relocated to Denver where they met classically trained cellist Neyla Pekarek, who responded to an ad on Craigslist.
Following an EP in 2011, the group released their self-titled debut album on April 3. Mixing elements of Americana, country, pop, and folk, the set features 11 tracks co-penned by Fraites and Schultz, including the singles "Ho Hey," "Classy Girls" and "Dead Sea." The Lumineers peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard 200 and "Ho Hey" reached No. 57 on the Billboard Hot 100. The trio also recently issued a free four-song EP, Tracks From The Attic, via NoiseTrade. The Lumineers have tour dates scheduled in the United States and the UK through November.

Here Are the Fake MH17 Pictures Circulating Online
As is the case with many tragedies, details are short and speculation is long in the aftermath yesterday's Malaysia Airlines crash, creating ideal conditions for the spread of viral bullshit. So which of the photos currently racing through social media are authentic and which are just opportunistic fakes? Read our rundown below.
As previously covered by our friends at Gizmodo's Factually, this photo—one of the first depictions of the crash site to go online—is completely fake. In reality, the picture is a screenshot from Lost that some asshole photoshopped his watermark and the Malaysia Airlines logo onto, as you can see below:
Before boarding MH17 yesterday, Dutch musician Cor Schilder—known in his home of Volendam as Cor Pan—posted this photo with a caption that translates as "If the plane disappears, this is what it looks like," apparently referencing the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. The bitterly ironic nature of his post caused it to quickly go viral, but some doubted its authenticity, as the pictured plane appears to bear the letters "RC" on the landing bay doors, the aircraft registration suffix of a different plane entirely. Sadly, Dutch news outlets confirmed this morning that Schilder and his girlfriend Neeltje were indeed on the doomed flight, with friends and neighbors in Volendam already publicly mourning the couple.
Pictures of this supposed Malaysia Airlines ad first popped up after the disappearance of MH370, but started to spread online again following yesterday's disaster. As many noted back in March, the fake ad doesn't depict a 777 at all, but one of the Airbus A380s recently added to the airline's fleet. As you can see below, the source of the manipulated image is an advertisement for the A830 that doesn't bear the ironic slogan:
Yesterday, Twitter users posted this image supposedly showing a young girl named Amy before boarding MH17 for her "first vacation ever." Luckily, Twitterer @CedJLo was able to debunk the hoax picture before it spread very far, using a reverse image search to source the photo to a blog post titled "Flying with Kids" from over two years ago.

The Cheesiest Love Songs EVER!
Posted Sat Jan 31, 2009 3:48pm PST by Shawn Amos in GetBack
The first dance at my wedding was to Freedy Johnston's "Bad Reputation." It was a fitting choice for both me and my wife, and it kept to the "no cheesy love song" rule we'd set for our relationship. But the longer we stay married, the more that rule gets broken. I dread what song will be played on our tenth wedding anniversary. Probably something by Peaches & Herb or "Endless Love."
There's a place for cheesy love songs. It's right alongside Lifetime movies, high school poetry, and Harlequin novels. All of them take perfectly valid, real emotions and inflate them to such histrionic heights that all the love is replaced with syrupy cliches. And cavities. Subtlety has no place in a cheesy ballad. Every emotion is supersized. Super sincerity, super compassion, super feeling, super togetherness. It's a super-sensitive nightmare living in that musical purgatory called "adult contemporary" or "soft rock."
With Valentine's Day approaching, don't succumb to the temptation of these cheesiest love songs ever. They kill romance. Save yourselves, and play Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" if you really want to confess your love.
Bryan Adams' "Heaven"
Some of the cheesiest ballads come from the cheesiest movies. This one comes from the 1983 film "A Night in Heaven," starring Christopher Atkins and Lesley Ann Warren. The film quickly disappeared into obscurity. I wish the same had happened to the song.
Stevie Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You"
Another soundtrack song, this time from the 1984 film "The Woman in Red." This one hurts, because I love Stevie. How can you not love Stevie? And, yes, it's one of his biggest hits. However, commercial success does not equal quality. Or lack of cheese. And this one cuts some serious cheese. Sorry, Stevie. I share 'cause I care.
Lionel Richie's "Hello"
Nicole's dad has made a fine living writing sappy ballads, and this one sits at the top of the pile. The only thing worse than the song is the video, which features a lovelorn Richie and the blind art student who makes a sculpture of his head. It's like a cable-access version of "Ghost" meets "The Miracle Worker." There is, however, one performance of this song that I dig. It's Lionel singing it on helium for a German talk show.
Extreme's "More Than Words"
And it just gets worse. Extreme is one in a long, insipid line of '80s hair bands who got all sensitive by busting out their Washburn acoustics and unbuttoning their shirts. It's a little bit better if you close your eyes and pretend it's some Everly Brothers wannabe bar band. Who am I kidding? Nothing makes it better.
Bobby Darin's "If I Were A Carpenter"
Old-school cheese that has stood the test of time, this song was written by folk hero Tim Hardin in 1967 and has been covered by everyone from Bobby Darin to Robert Plant. It has cred, because folk artists always seem to have cred (whether they deserve it or not). It's hard to slam someone when he's being all sensitive with an acoustic guitar. Still, the tune is pretty sappy. And a bit sexist.
Chicago's "You're The Inspiration"
This one is a double threat: a cheesy lyric sung in that she-man vocal that only Peter Cetera can provide. The 1984 hit single began as a song for Kenny Rogers. Dude! Imagine that hell.
Kenny Rogers' "Lady"
Oh wait, that hell has arrived. While Chicago was stealing Kenny's cheesy song away from him, Kenny was holed up in a studio with songwriter Lionel Richie making his own cheesy song. All right, my chronology is totally off (this song was recorded four years earlier), but it makes for great drama. It's like a "Yacht Rock" episode, a cheesy ballad tug-o-war. In any event, "Lady" is first-rate cheese and set the stage for Richie's solo career.
Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings"
Yes, another sentimental ballad born from a sentimental movie. This one is from the 1988 Disney flick "Beaches," which has all the hallmarks of the genre: two women fighting over the same man, career jealousy, and a terminal disease. Topping it off is the show-stopper ballad with lots of big metaphors ("fly higher than an eagle") and big emotions. It's the gold standard of cheesy love songs.
Air Supply's "The One That You Love"
These dudes practically invented "soft rock" with a string of '80s hits that took on love from every angle. Air Supply was "Lost in Love," "All Out of Love," "Making Love Out of Nothing at All," and discovering "The Power of Love." They have enough love in their songbook for every first dance forever more.
Chris de Burgh's "The Lady in Red"
Funny story here: Chris de Burgh performed the song for Princess Diana before her death (that's not the funny part). After the show, Di thanked de Burgh for writing the song about her. Seems Di was known for wearing red, so of course the song would be about her. Oops. The tune was about his wife, Diane. That relationship worked out better than Princess Di's.
