RobinMarylandTop Power 3200 Solano Vs. Super SolanoIs the Top Power 3200 Solano any different from the Super Solano in terms of power or heat? I just bought a new Super Solano to replace an old one and for some reason I'm not finding this one very powerful. I have long, thick hair and would like to cut my drying time. There seems to be a variety of other Solano hairdryers to choose from and wonder what the differences, if any, there could be.6 out of 9 shoppers thought this post was helpful.

AimeeYes!I highly recommend this hairdryer for use with a diffuser. This is the one my hairstylist uses and it works well. I go to a salon that is quite busy and treats mostly Puerto Rican and Dominican women with very curly hair. They love to set hair in rollers before blowdrying straight (with this blowdryer) but when girls like to leave their curls this dryer with a diffuser creates beautiful frizz free curls. The key is not to fuss with your hair too much just use the diffuser to hold the hair place and dry for 10 seconds then gently shift to another part of your hair and repeat. Don't touch it with your hands too much until the end and if you would like some staying power set with a light mist of hairspray. My stylist uses Elnett.

Dia Frampton on The VoicePosted in Links on May 3rd, 2011 by Jody
Dia Frampton, lead singer of the band Meg & Dia, will be appearing as a contestant on tonight's episode of The Voice, airing at 9pm (8pm Central) on NBC.
The show is a singing competition that features four musician coaches: Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton. Currently the show is in the "blind audition" phase: Contestants perform while the coaches have their backs turned. If a coach likes what they hear, they push a button and their chair turns around so they can see the contestant. The contestant then gets to choose their coach from amongst the ones that turned around, and they'll work with that coach for the rest of the competition.
If you haven't seen the show yet, you should definitely check it out. Only one episode has aired as of yet, but it looks pretty sweet so far, and the presence of Dia Frampton on the show can only make it more awesome.
NBC released a preview of Dia's blind audition that you can view on NBC.com. Also, check out the links I've posted below to learn more about Dia, her sister Meg, and their band Meg & Dia.

Gimme some beta
Because I've never complained of having burned out on beta testing and I've never said I wouldn't jump on hype-wagons anymore. No sirree. Anyway, that was a long time ago and I'm pretty sure the opinion statute of limitations for blogs is about 15 minutes.
So. The Elder Scrolls Online now has a beta application page, here.
If you've never played any of the single-player RPG versions, a) you probably won't care about this and b) have you been living under a rock?! I sank a jillion hours into Skyrim most recently – actually no, I wanted to sink a jillion hours into Skyrim and kept getting stymied by work, but I did play as much as I could for a while and lots of fun it was too. (Apart from the fact that PC players got their bug issues addressed and Xbox players like me just had to suck it up and STFU).
Gamers have been clamoring for a multiplayer online version of TESO for centuries (in blogging years), so here it is. Come be part of the development and help make a kickass game. Or, if it's going to be an FFXIV-type of bust, at least you'll know ahead of time.
I appear to have only one problem right now. Clicking the "COMPLETE BETA APPLICATION" button makes it go from blue to brown, but otherwise appears to do nothing at all. I sure hope they haven't just received
4 5 7 versions of my beta app…
EDIT: Well, I hope you have better luck than me. None of my browsers do anything when I click the apply button. According to one wiki it goes to a confirmation page. Bah humbug.
Kickstarting Pathfinder Online
I really shouldn't spend money when my 2012 Q4 taxes are due, but I did it anyway.
Bill Murphy must have hit just the right button on Facebook because I read his post, clicked through, and pledged $35. I liked the possible benefits if this project ever comes to fruition.
However, since I've only just heard of this game and haven't acually read anything about it yet, and because said tax payment cheques have to be in the post today and I'm about to go out… I'm an ignorant dork who just pledged some money.
If you're also a dork who likes sandbox MMOs (ignorance is optional), consider pledging. There are 9 hours to go and the funding goal is almost reached.

WoW – drood powa
I used to get annoyed at druids in PvP in WoW, because the little buggers are unkillable, sort of like paladins only more moonkinny. Then again, I've always had a love-hate relationship with droods. I made one early on and never really played her. Made another and never really played her either – and so on. Each time I've come back to WoW I've made another druid (to start fresh or some such smart reason) and never played her.
Last year, however, I finally made one as a hermit char and played her up to 60, which took about 17.4 seconds with the new levelling and a couple of heirloom xp items. (For those who don't know: a hermit character is one nobody else knows about so you can play them when you're not feeling sociable. Of course, the whole e-mailfriends WoW thing, whatever it's called, puts the kibosh on that because they can see you're online no matter who you're playing, but that's okay; I've only got 2 of those and we don't bug each other a whole lot.) And then she sat there for a few months, gathering rest xp and dust, until I brushed her off again during the Xmas break.
Now, while I don't particularly want to gush… OMGWTFBBQOPSMASHRIPRIP! Druids are fun, especially feral druids when it comes to my own playstyle. Sneak around when you need to, claw-shred-rip the crap out of stuff when you want, heal when required, claw-shred-rip some more, rinse repeat. I'll grant you it doesn't require a whole lot of keys and it's not all that varied, but none of that matters in the face of shredding the opposition before they even know what's hit them.
So my little druid is now 70 and claw-shred-ripping her way through the aptly-named Northrend. I don't want to like her more than my hunter, who is my day 1 character (hell, Eloise is a remake of my beta character so she's like a million years old in MMO years), but… well… who needs a pet when you can be your own pet? And flight form rocks, especially the faster purple flight form.
I've also been indulging in pet battles. I'm still shocked at how addictive those are if you let them be, especially when you get complacent about how good your main team is (mechanical gnome, nexus wyrm, flayer hatchling) and then one of the battle masters hands you your ass; not once, but three times. After the third time I realised it was time to a) level my guys a little and b) find some team members who weren't going to be insta-roasted by the Shadowmoon guy's horrible little flame elemental.
There's something for me about WoW that other people report finding in GW2, which is uncomplicated fun. I've logged in to TSW a few times and though I still love the game, it just demands too much thought from me at the moment. So I'm dabbling in TSW for brief, cogitation-laden sessions and then going back to WoW to relax. I'm just glad I have several games I can hop around in and only one I need to be paying for.
TSW and Noël
Today I logged back into TSW for the first time in, uh, some months, and it made me wish I hadn't neglected it so. After some pretty strong disorientation, that is. I always get that going back to games – what's this skill? How do I do that? Oh crap, the B button isn't Bags, it's Browser here (something I remapped immediately). How do I walk and talk, let alone chew gum or kill things?!
Still, it was fun. I instantly spent a bunch of freebie lifetime member points on a snazzy new outfit, then I went off in chase of the End of the World quest, which I'm still working on since walking and talking was proving to be such a challenge. Oh, and because I decided to work on a Blade/AR build I'd been pondering months ago before I stopped playing.
Anyway, it was a day without work, which has been pretty rare of late and thus makes it great and fun by definition. Also it's Christmas Eve, which rocks, since that's traditionally when presents are opened in France. One's Christmas expectations seem to be formed in childhood, so I've never really got used to the whole wait-for-Christmas-Day business. Fortunately the spousal unit appears to endorse any option that means opening presents earlier.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Joyful Oh-The-World-Didn't-End – whatever it is you celebrate or don't, be nice, be kind, and have fun.
Not only… but also
This has been covered by others already, but fortunately for me I never claimed to be a scoop-hound (I'm far too
lazy busy with work). I've let it sit in my mental microwave for the last few days, and when it finally went ping I decided that yes, I'm probably going to try out AC2.
I remember the AC2 beta and how froth-botheringly excited the community was, because AC1 players got priority for beta testing – at least that's how I remember it. It was a long time ago. Hell, it was THAT long ago that the spousal unit and I actually got CDs through the mail to install the beta client. No, really. People used to send CDs all the time. Then again I'm old enough to remember floppies. Wait, does that sound bad?
Anyway, froth-bothering excitement gave way to puzzlement (wtf is this? it's not AC1!) to interest (okay, but it's actually a pretty cool character system) to frustration (oh look, another play-stopping bug!). And before someone berates me for complaining about bugs when I was beta-testing, I know. I know. I know. I like beta-testing and I'm aware bugs are the whole point and hell, I do it professionally now, so don't teach your internet grandma to suck eggs. Every beta-tester has a point at which they transition from "Hey, this is kind of a cool bug, let's make that cow's head explode again" to "Ohhhh Goddddd, not another one… Now I can't move. Now I can't talk. Hey, what happened to my inventory?"
I reached that point with AC2 after a few weeks of testing which, coupled with a machine that was only barely able to run the game, kind of put paid to both my testing and my interest in the game. I didn't buy it at release, though a number of my AC guildies, The Knights Who Say Ni, did.
AC2 had quite a few issues in beta, which is what you'd expect. Chat, as I recall, was pretty gruesome (and the Elder Game post referred-to above explains why), but then chat had issues in more than one game back in 2002 or 2003. Star Wars Galaxies was fickle as a drunken debutante when it came to letting you chat or not, at least for the first few months – setting up one of the first cities was quite the experience without guild chat, especially since this was before anyone much used voice-chat.
So yes, my guildies played it and enjoyed it, though it never got as much momentum within the guild as AC1 did. Nothing's ever the same as your first… Also, SWG came fairly hot on the heels of AC2 and we ALL wanted to try out a Star Wars game (though again, not many of us played it for more than a few months). Actually, that was more or less the time when the MMO market sort of exploded – after SWG came City of Heroes, then later that year both EQ2 and WoW, and on and on…
I didn't play AC2 at release, I was probably a little unfair about it for various reasons, and now I'm a jaded old hag – or hack – with nostalgic leanings and I'm going to check it out again. It didn't take me but a couple of minutes to recover my Turbine account info, and there's my AC1 account all ready to be activated to grant me access to what's old is new AC2 (although it's not my original AC1 account – I didn't migrate it soon enough back in the Microsoft/Turbine migration or I just plain forgot the details, either way my original chars are lost somewhere in v-space).
We'll see, right?
Survey: Avatars
Another email. I actually got the first one a few weeks back and forgot all about it (work having been what it is) other than spending a couple of minutes checking credentials. Even a little blog like this one gets some weird monetization or advertising requests – I dread to think the crap the big blogs have to wade through.
Anyway, this appears legit and could help someone's research project. I've not done the survey myself yet but I enjoyed taking part in Nick Yee's Daedalus project work a few years back and hopefully even provided some useful data at the time.
Dear Ysharros
I am involved in a psychology project at Charles Darwin University, in Darwin, Australia. We are looking for male and female participants to take part in a project exploring avatar use, in particular – why people do or don't choose avatars of the opposite gender. In gaining participants we were hoping that you could possibly put a post up on your site regarding the study, along the following lines:
"We are conducting an Internet based psychological study at Charles Darwin University and are seeking male and female participants who are over 18 years of age, are able to read and write in English fluently and who use avatars. The study will examine participants' identification with their avatars as well as explore why people may use, or not use an avatar of the opposite sex. The study will examine psychosocial functioning in the real world, personality factors as well as sex role identification of the participants' and their avatars, and will take around 20 minutes to complete. Please go to http://cduhes.asia.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_brQ0uYKeagINqo4 for more details. You are not required to provide any identifying information in order to participate. All information given will be anonymous and protected. Ethics approval has been obtained for the conduct of this study. Thank you."
[snip - query email addresses]
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards
Amalia Badawi, for Dr. Jon-Paul Cacioli
I draw the line at posting people's email addresses, but if one of you reading this would like to mail the people involved for whatever reason, leave a comment and I'll forward the relevant info.
Shocked, not
This just landed in my inbox:
We've just made a major change to the business model of The Secret World in that we no longer require a subscription to play, and have instead introduced an optional Membership. As a lifetime subscriber this will only affect you in a positive way, read on for all the changes to our game!
The Grandmaster Pack continues as a powerful and lifelong commitment to the game for those with true dedication, and contains all the benefits given to members and more [etc etc.]
I doubt anyone else in the blogosphere will be surprised. I'm not disappointed, bothered or offended either – when I bought my lifetime sub it was as much to support the idea of the game as to get a lifetime sub, and I was well aware the game would be free-to-play fairly quickly (though I'll admit, I didn't think it would be this quickly).
I'll get a bunch of goodies points and whatnot, which is fine by me since I like fluff and goodies. In fact, that one email was enough to make me bust out the launcher and start the (long and stupidly laborious, with my internet connection) process of getting the game patched and up to date. It's probably been about 3 months since I last did that, so I should be ready to play around Christmas.
The shiny new feeling of Pandaclysm is wearing off, too, though I'm still having fun there when I have time to play, so maybe I'll poke my head back into creepy-land and take on a bit more challenge than WoW offers a non-raider.
It'll go well with the insanely creepy-scary nightmare I had a couple of days ago, about which I will say nothing except "lunch truck full of cannibal kids". You can imagine the rest for yourself; it was more Stephen King than SAW, but it was still scary enough to make me extremely relieved when I woke myself up from it.
There you go, a little personal anecdote for free. Now back to work for me!

After a week off, the Philadelphia Wings (2-3) had trouble shaking off the rust, struggling to find the net in a 20-10 loss against the Rochester Knighthawks at Wells Fargo Center during the team's Friday Lacrosse in Education matinee game.
The Wings got three goals from Captain Brodie Merrill and two from former Knighthawk Jordan Hall, who the Wings received in an off-season trade for Dan and Paul Dawson. Kevin Buchanan had six points for Philadelphia on a goal and five assists.
Philadelphia has lost three games in a row after a 2-0 start to the season. Solid play from Wings goalie, Brandon Miller helped the Wings with the fast start, however Philadelphia has given up 50 goals in their past three games.
Familiar face, Dan Dawson, who was traded to Rochester by the Wings in December, led the way for the Knighthawks, scoring 11 points on four goals and seven assists. Today's win for the 2012 NLL Champion Rochester, is only their second on the season, after a rocky 1-3 start. The Knighthawks' leading scorer on the season, Corey Jamieson had seven points on three goals and four assists in the winning effort.
The Wings have a bye next week and return to action against the Colorado Mammoth at Wells Fargo Center for "Bark in the Bowl" to celebrate Mad Dog's Birthday on Sunday, February 24 at 4 p.m.

Indirect tax
An indirect tax (such as sales tax, a specific tax, value added tax (VAT), or goods and services tax (GST)) is a tax collected by an intermediary (such as a retail store) from the person who bears the ultimate economic burden of the tax (such as the consumer). The intermediary later files a tax return and forwards the tax proceeds to government with the return. In this sense, the term indirect tax is contrasted with a direct tax which is collected directly by government from the persons (legal or natural) on which it is imposed. Some commentators have argued that "a direct tax is one that cannot be shifted by the taxpayer to someone else, whereas an indirect tax can be."[1]
An indirect tax may increase the price of a good so that consumers are actually paying the tax by paying more for the products.[2] Examples would be fuel, liquor, and cigarette taxes. An excise duty on motor cars is paid in the first instance by the manufacturer of the cars; ultimately the manufacturer transfers the burden of this duty to the buyer of the car in form of a higher price. Thus, an indirect tax is such which can be shifted or passed on. The degree to which the burden of a tax is shifted determines whether a tax is primarily direct or primarily indirect. This is a function of the relative elasticity of the supply and demand of the goods or services being taxed. Under this definition, even income taxes may be indirect.
The term indirect tax has a different meaning for U.S. constitutional law purposes: see direct tax and excise tax in the United States.
Indirect taxation is policy often used to generate tax revenue. Indirect tax is so called as it is paid indirectly by the final consumer of goods and services while paying for purchase of goods or for enjoying services. It is broadly based since it is applied to everyone in the society whether rich or poor. Since the cost of the tax does not vary according to income, indirect taxation is a regressive tax, or in other words it imposes a greater burden (relative to resources) on the poor than on the rich. The taxpayer who pays the tax does not bear the burden of tax; the burden is shifted to the ultimate consumers. In the case of a direct tax, the taxpayer has to bear the burden of tax personally; in case of indirect tax the taxpayer and the taxbearer are not the same person.
Excise duty[edit]
Excise duty is a governmental tax meant for producers and manufacturers on certain goods.[3]
Manufacturers are considered to be:
- Entities who manufacture goods themselves
- Entities who pay a fixed salary for others to manufacture these goods
- Entities who outsource manufacturing, but manufacturing takes place from their name
To cover these costs, manufacturer adds them to COGS (cost of goods sold), where the buyer ends up paying for these costs. Thus, it is considered to be an indirect tax.

Jerrod Niemann visited the fifth grade chorus students at PS22 in Staten Island, NY earlier this week. In addition to performing his latest single, "Shinin' on Me," with the students, Jerrod also presented them with a new drum set and electric piano. In return, the students gave Jerrod one of the chorus's t-shirts, and their director said they hope Jerrod wears the shirt when he wins a Grammy for his new album, Free the Music , in stores this week.
The visit to PS22 is just the latest way Jerrod is working to champion music education programs. He credits sports and music for keeping him out of trouble.
Jerrod tells ABC News Radio, "Growing up, kids need things to do. They need things to get their mind out of the gutter and stay away from the bad crowd."
Jerrod thinks the disappearance of music education programs robs kids of the opportunity to learn how healing music can be as well. That's why he's looking for other opportunities around Nashville, including a possible deal with Tennessee Titans players, to get instruments into young people's hands.
Says Jerrod, "I just think it's important for music to be in the lives our young folks of America."

This is the second of the Elk Ridge Trailsman machetes that i have purchased. My brother in law was so impressed with the ;first one that I gave it to him and ordered me one. This is a great piece of camping equipment and I have used mine for splittign wood, trimming brush and whittling a hiking stick. Five stars on this item.
Very good tool will be a great asset to my hunting & camping gear :)
Impressive! Nice edge and weight. Sheath is of good quality. Only thing missing was a lanyard, which I added my own.
Nice and hefty. I think it would make going through heavy brush easy.
Looks good Christmas gift

Small-Group Tour: Half-Day Kona Gold Coast
- Close encounter with wildlife
- Choice of several departures throughout the day
- Led by a local guide
Next, head to the Kona Cloud Forest Sanctuary, with an elevation of 3,000 feet (914 meters) above sea level. Due to its high elevation, the sanctuary abounds with unique tropical plants. See more than 100 varieties of bamboo and walk under the towering tree ferns, some of which are 30 feet (9 meters) tall!. Your ranger-trained guide will point out the many endemic and exotic birds, including the Hawaiian Hawk and the Honey Creeper. Admire the plethora of colorful, non-indigenous plants that create a feast for the eyes.
After exploring the sanctuary, visit the award-winning Mountain Thunder Coffee Farm. Tour the coffee mill and taste one of the most famous coffees in the world, grown on the volcanic slopes of Kona. Kona farmers cultivate their crops with meticulous care; all planting and picking are done by hand.
Then enjoy a scenic coastal drive to Kaloko Honokohau National Historical Park. Take a short hike and see the ancient heiau (sacred sites), burial caves and petroglyphs carved by native Hawaiians. Stroll to the shore, where ancient Hawaiians stored their stock of fish in traps and ponds. On the coast, keep your eyes open for Hawaiian green sea turtles, rare Hawaiian monk seals, dolphins and whales.

Reviewed by: ken l, July 2013
We had a wonderful time, one of the best tours we've gone on in a long time. Great communication, Viator kept us informed and provided regular updates via email that were super clear and spot on. There were nine of us in our group and everything went like clock work. The tour guide(s) were well informed and had charming personalities, kept us entertained the whole time. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to see everything. I loved how much we saw in a relatively short period of time (half day tour was the way to go). Highly recommend Viator and encourage everyone to check out this tour = the best way to explore the Big Island!

Adams MSPV43 Soloist Series 4.3 Octave Padouk MarimbaThe Soloist series of marimbas are effective solutions for budget conscience musicians and schools who are looking for high quality sound but desire a low cost. Made with Padouk wood bars that are graduated and slightly narrower, this marimba offers the same precise tuning and voicing as the Artist marimba. This quality provides for balanced sound throughout the entire range of the instrument. Being tuned to the sixth overtone allows complete control over all aspects of the marimba's sound. As far as construction goes, the frame is the patented voyager system which permits effortless adjustment to a wide range of playing heights, and the resonators are welded, not riveted, to offer the utmost strength and safety from mechanical noise. Mallets and a cover are included.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I opened two new schools in suburban Houston and ordered one of these and was pleased as could be. Two years later, at the new high school that opened down the road, I ordered 2 of these with the marching band rolling frame for use in the Never a single problem, and a crisp, pit. A crisp, yet warm sound throughout. Great scale throughout. Now I am looking to buy 2 more for another middle school I teach at in a different state. Sure, we'd all like a rosewood or similar bar, but this one can't be beat if you are on a strict budget!
The High School I work for just bought this instrument a little over a year ago. This is the second Marimba the school has, the other being a VERY old Yamaha with synthetic bars. When we got the new Adams out of the box and set up it just didn't compare to the ridiculously old Yamaha. And I mean that in a negative way.
The Bars are made of very porous and airy would, which means they are both delicate and they dont resonate. They have a very clanky, sharp tambour, with pretty much no real tone.
Along with that, the instrument came with THREE goofy/broken bars and TWO poorly tuned resonators.
A month ago we a student was playing the marimba (during a song) and a Bar just snapped in half. He wasn't even banging them hard.
We contacted Adams to try and get the broken stuff replaced, but they're ridiculously difficult to try and contact, and when we finally managed to contact them (a little over two months ago) they said they couldn't really do anything about it...
In all, the instrument is terrible. Especially if you wish to do some "Soloist" pieces.
Maybe it's good for a Middle school

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Nicolas Petan earned an assist on all three Portland goals and the Winterhawks ousted the Chiefs 3-1 on Saturday night at the Spokane Arena in front of 7,269 fans on Washington National Guard Buck Night.
Nearly 58 minutes passed until the Chiefs finally found the back of the net. Defenseman Cole Wedman was passed the puck on the right circle for a quick slapshot that put Spokane on the board, preventing the team from being shutout for the first time at home this season. Dominic Zwerger and Jackson Playfair were both credited with their first assists of the season; Zwergers was the first of his career. It was Wedman's second goal.
Despite allowing three goals, Eric Williams made multiple outstanding saves while manning the net. In the third period, Portland center Adam Rossignol stole the puck and had a wide-open breakway against Williams, but the 20-year-old goalie from Langley, B.C., made a terrific glove save to prevent further damage.
The Spokane Chiefs will head on the road for three games beginning with a Wednesday, November 6th showdown with the Medicine Hat Tigers. The Chiefs will return home Friday, November 15th to play host to the Prince George Cougars. Puck drops at 7:05 PM.

Dear Editor:
I was truly disappointed to see that the article "Honoring Our Heroes" was put on Page Three in the Tuesday November 12 edition of the Minden-Press Herald. Really?
On Veteran's Day did not our veterans deserve a front page article? Instead we see that the school board article about school superintendent positions and an article about the Fasching Parade get front page news.
We also see that the parade for Fasching was during the warm part of the day while our veterans (war heroes) have their parade at 5:00 when it is dark and cold.
Is this "honoring" our veterans, Minden?

As of Tuesday, December 4, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
Carlton Fletcher
MARIETTA — Southwest Georgia artists dominated the recent GeorgiaCountry.com awards, held at the 120 Tavern and Music Hall here, with Cuthbert's Cole Taylor claiming the coveted Artist of the Year award as well as being named Male Artist of the Year.
Taylor, who plans a move to Nashville in February in search of the dream that propelled Leesburg's Luke Bryan — who was named National Artist of the Year at the GeorgiaCountry.com ceremony — to stardom, called his victory a stepping stone.
"This is definitely a stepping stone to where I want to be," he said in a phone interview. "At this point five years down the road, I hope I can look back at this night and say, 'That's what got me to the Grammys or the CMAs.'
"(The GeorgiaCountry.com recognition) is definitely a reward for all the blood, sweat and tears I put into this. It's the results of five years of hard work."
The Albany/Dawson group Highway 55 joined Taylor and Bryan in the winners' circle at the awards ceremony, claiming the state Band of the Year trophy. Other winners included Female Artist of the Year Lauren Ashley, Teen Artist of the Year Jordan Grassi and Regional Artist of the Year Blackberry Smoke.
"This is definitely a big step for us," Highway 55's Cody Smith said. "To be at this only three years and then be named the best country band in Georgia is big. It great for exposure, which is important in this business.
"As much as music is art, it's a business as well. And like with any job, you build a resume. This is a nice addition to our resume."
Taylor, who is 18 hours away from finishing requirements for an accounting degree at Valdosta State University, said he and his girlfriend, Lacy Bradshaw, will start looking in January for a place in Music City. He says, though, that he will complete work on his degree online.
"I'm one of those people who never starts something and doesn't finish it," he said. "As I get further into my (music) career, I feel that the business courses I'm taking will help me. Lacy (a paralegal) and I are really excited about the opportunities in Nashville.
"I'm headed up there with a fire under me, and I won't quit until the Lord tells me to."
Nominations for the GeorgiaCountry.com awards are posted on the Web and voted on by fans. The Entertainer of the Year award is voted on by a panel from the entertainment industry.
"Knowing I have a broad enough fan base that's willing to vote for me makes this all that much sweeter," Taylor, whose recent album, "Cab of My Chevy," propelled him to the state awards, said. "Those are the folks who make me drive harder, who make me get up in the morning ready to go to work."

With a solemnity reserved for momentous occasions, the Senate passed historic legislation Thursday offering the priceless hope of citizenship to millions of immigrants living illegally in America's shadows. The bill also promises a military-style effort to secure the long-porous border with Mexico.
The bipartisan vote was 68-32 on a measure that sits atop President Barack Obama's second-term domestic agenda. But the bill's prospects are highly uncertain in the Republican-controlled House, where party leaders are jockeying for position in advance of expected action next month.
Spectators in galleries that overlook the Senate floor watched expectantly as senators voted one by one from their desks. Some onlookers erupted in chants of "Yes, we can" after Vice President Joe Biden announced the vote result.
After three weeks of debate, there was no doubt about the outcome. Fourteen Republicans joined all 52 Democrats and two independents to support the bill.
In the final hours of debate, members of the so-called Gang of 8, the group that drafted the measure, frequently spoke in personal terms while extolling the bill's virtues, rebutting its critics — and appealing to the House members who turn comes next.
"Do the right thing for America and for your party," said Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., who said his mother emigrated to the United States from Cuba. "Find common ground. Lean away from the extremes. Opt for reason and govern with us."
Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake said those seeking legal status after living in the United States illegally must "pass a background check, make good on any tax liability and pay a fee and a fine." There are other requirements before citizenship can be obtained, he noted.
He, too, spoke from personal experience, recalling time he spent as a youth working alongside family members and "undocumented migrant labor, largely from Mexico, who worked harder than we did under conditions much more difficult than we endured."
Since then, he said, "I have harbored a feeling of admiration and respect for those who have come to risk life and limb and sacrifice so much to provide a better life for themselves and their families."
The bill's opponents were unrelenting, if outnumbered.
"We will admit dramatically more people than we ever have in our country's history at a time when unemployment is high and the Congressional Budget Office has told us that average wages will go down for 12 years, that gross national product per capita will decline for 25-plus years, that unemployment will go up," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.
"The amnesty will occur, but the enforcement is not going to occur, and the policies for future immigration are not serving the national interest."
But with a weeklong July 4 congressional vacation looming, the bill's foes agreed to permit the final vote one day before Senate rules mandated it.
In the Senate, at least, the developments marked an end to years of gridlock on immigration. The shift began taking shape quickly after the 2012 presidential election, when numerous Republican leaders concluded the party must show a more welcoming face to Hispanic voters who had given Obama more than 70 percent of their support.
Even so, division among Republicans was evident as potential 2016 presidential contenders split. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida was one of the Gang of 8, while Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas were opposed to the bill.
The legislation's chief provisions includes numerous steps to prevent future illegal immigration — some added in a late compromise that swelled Republican support for the bill — and to check on the legal status of job applicants already living in the United States. At the same time, it offers a 13-year path to citizenship to as many as 11 million immigrants now living in the country unlawfully.

Didn't work with the last amnesty that allowed 3 million law breaking immigrants a path to citizenship. That bill also had guarantees of more border protections and stricter penalties for businesses that hired law breaking immigrants. They chose to ignore the enforcement, which brought us the additional 13 million law breaking immigrants they want to give a legal status to now.
Make no mistake, this is about guaranteed cheap labor for the next decade and nothing more.
Meanwhile, Government Motors, those guys we bailed out and lost $10 billion tax payer dollars on, is expanding in Mexico.
I guess we should be happy they are investing about 1/6 of that amount in Missouri. Doesn't really make me feel Obama made a good investment or that we're seeing much, if any thank you from a company that wouldn't even exist if it weren't for US tax payers.
Next time they need a bail-out, tell 'em to ask Mexican tax payers instead.
Spot-on commentary Woody188. I'm thinking this bill is going to have a tough time in the Republican controlled House though, not that they too aren't into facilitating cheap labor for the captains of industry, but the midterms are approaching and many of the reps are going to play it safe with their constituents that are against amnesty, the loss of jobs and hate Hispanic people on general principles.
My concern is if the idea for a national i.d. card has been dropped from the bill. I haven't had a chance to find a copy in .pdf format. It's the sneaky stuff that they insert that's more terrifying than the main body of the bill itself.
Just seeing Senators Schumer and McCain pressing the flesh in the photoop is enough to make my skin crawl, both elitists and globalists to core that would sell out the U.S. for just a few dollars, euros or shekels more. Ugh! : (
Carl Nemo **==
Woody and Carl, I certainly appreciate both your opinions and doubts. I've lived all my life in mixed neighborhoods all over California and never had a problem respecting African Americans or Latinos.
I have developed a deep seated resentment for the Republican leadership who have tried to make me, as a female, feel incapable of equality. I made my two daughters extra strong and capable of being professionals in their lives.
I don't have much faith in the future of America unless we can replace those two-faced fools who despise the rest of us who refuse to hate others.
Voting against instead of for candidates has taken the fun and joy out of our elections.
Great, that's all this country needs is 13 million more Democrats.

Welcome! Climate, biogeochemical cycles, and planetary tectonics are the three basic processes that shape the environment. Geoscientists face a unique challenge in seeking to understand the complexity of the Earth's physical and biogeochemical systems. The surface environment of the Earth is controlled by interactions between the deep Earth, the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, and the biosphere. These interactions occur on timescales ranging from picoseconds for chemical reactions on mineral surfaces to the billions of years over which plate tectonic processes and biological evolution have radically altered the composition of the atmosphere. Princeton's Department of Geosciences is at the forefront of scientific discovery in the solid earth, the environmental geosciences and oceanography/climate science. Our faculty and students address critical societal issues, such as climate change and geologic hazards, through research and education at all levels. Our mission is to understand Earth's history and its future, the energy and resources required to support an increasing global population, and the challenge of sustainability in a changing climate.

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
We stripped in the first warm spring night
and ran down into the Detroit River
to baptize ourselves in the brine
of car parts, dead fish, stolen bicycles,
melted snow. I remember going under
hand in hand with a Polish highschool girl
I'd never seen before, and the cries
our breath made caught at the same time
on the cold, and rising through the layers
of darkness into the final moonless atmosphere
that was this world, the girl breaking
the surface after me and swimming out
on the starless waters towards the lights
of Jefferson Ave. and the stacks
of the old stove factory unwinking.
Turning at last to see no island at all
but a perfect calm dark as far
as there was sight, and then a light
and another riding low out ahead
to bring us home, ore boats maybe, or smokers
walking alone. Back panting
to the gray coarse beach we didn't dare
fall on, the damp piles of clothes,
and dressing side by side in silence
to go back where we came from.

A teenager who saved an 8-year-old boy's life could be nationally recognized for his heroic actions. Marcos Ugarte, 14, has been picked as one of 23 finalists for a Civilian Medal of Honor award.
Back in September 2012, Marcos heard screams coming from his neighbor's burning house on Hewitt Avenue in Troutdale.
That's when he sprung into action, using a ladder to climb up to the second floor and rescue his young, frightened neighbor who was trapped in the burning home.
"I grabbed the ladder and propped it up so it was next to the window, and I punched the screen door out or the window screen. I told the kid to come out feet first, and he came down the ladder. And I carried him and gave him to the lady who was standing next to us," Ugarte said at the time.
Three of the finalists will be awarded the medal at a ceremony at the Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia on March 25.
"It's a good feeling to see the joy in the family and that no one was hurt so that's a good feeling," Ugarte said Tuesday. "I just think about it a lot. Mainly, that I did something good for another family and another person."

Calls for the United States to essentially abandon Taiwan – often cloaked in clever euphemisms or cunning 'strategic thinking' – are growing louder, even among serious minds. Here is why that would be a mistake.
Last week, the House of Representatives held a hearing entitled 'Why Taiwan Matters'. Randall Schriver, former US deputy assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, delivered one of the most succinct and direct statements addressing the myths usually propagated on those favouring a 'rethink' of US policy on Taiwan. I have paraphrased parts of the statement below, dividing them into four myths and respective counterarguments.
However, I strongly encourage you to read the entire thing here, both because it is a more accurate reflection of what Mr. Schriver actually said, and because it is a very well-argued statement on an important debate.
Myth # 1: If the US reduces its commitment to the TRA, it will enable US-China cooperation on a range of important issues such as Iran and North Korea.
There is no evidence to support this assumption, and there is very little reason to believe that it makes sense. China has important, strategic interests related to both Iran and North Korea, and those interests drive China's policy irrespective of positions the US takes on Taiwan. For instance, given that China is Iran's largest trading partner, third largest importer of oil, and larger investor in Iran, does it seem likely that China would suddenly join Washington to push for more sanctions to isolate it just because the US reduces its commitment to the TRA?
Myth # 2: Taiwan is a unique case because it is a core interest of China, is based on a special historic legacy, and is tied to emotive sovereignty issues. If the US concedes on Taiwan, China would be sated and not be aggressive elsewhere.
China is already behaving more aggressively toward US ally Japan over the Senkaku Islands, and towards Southeast Asian countries over the South China Sea. This is less about Taiwan in particular but sovereignty claims more generally.
Furthermore, if the US does concede on Taiwan, its allies and friends in Asia will lose confidence in Washington's commitment to preserving peace and security in the region on other issues, and that might increase the build-up of weapons in the region. This runs counter to US interests. There are signs that this is already happening.
Additionally, as others have highlighted and I have argued before, attempts at conceding to China in the hopes of wringing out reciprocal concessions is an approach that does not work, as has been proven by the Obama administration's attempts at such an approach.
After bending backwards to placate China via its concept of "strategic reassurance"– of which highlights included US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's belittling of US concerns about human rights, Mr. Obama's snubbing of the Dalai Lama, and 'sensitivity' about China's issues with the US-Taiwan relationship — the administration failed to gain any concessions and in fact had to backtrack and take a much tougher stance against China's more aggressive territorial claims.
Myth # 3: Taiwan is not that important to the United States anyway, and even if it is somewhat important, China is more important.
Taiwan is important in many ways to the United States, some of which include – 1) economically, as its ninth largest trade partner where 11 percent of the US export market goes (more than India and Brazil); 2) technologically, its companies are some of the world's most vibrant; 3) strategically, it is geographically suited to handle more shipping containers than any single port in Japan or Korea; 4) ideologically, it is an exemplary model of a democratic nation in Asia in line with US ideals; 5) internationally, Taiwan has become a "responsible stakeholder", firmly committed to international efforts in fighting terrorism, poverty, disease and disaster.
Even if one is not persuaded of why Taiwan is important to the US, it is clear that US interests will be harmed if Taiwan is lost to China. Chinese control of Taiwan and the Taiwan Strait would effectively deny the US and its allies access to critical sea lanes and would extend the PLA's reach in the Asia-Pacific region considerably.
The Taiwan Relations Act language states that US decisions on arms sales will be based solely on analysis of Taiwan's defence needs, and the Six Assurances to Taiwan promulgated by the Reagan Administration in July 1982 agreed not to give prior consultation to China on potential US arms sales to Taiwan. Therefore, Washington should not be subject to China's influence in its decision-making when it is clear in its own legislation that decisions should be based solely on Taiwan's needs and not in part on consultations with China and how it might respond.
Furthermore, an objective review of historical data demonstrates that though China is angered by arms sales, their response is quite predictable and limited in terms of any harmful impact on US-China relations beyond some verbal criticism and postponing some military-to military activities. The US therefore needs to be bolder about helping Taiwan defend itself, and should reject a zero-sum approach with regard to US-China or US-Taiwan relations.
Myth # 4: Cross-strait ties are actually progressing well, and even if they are not, the cross-Strait military imbalance in favour of Beijing will not reverse, so there is no point resisting it. The US might as well end the TRA.
The purpose of arm sales to Taiwan is not just to help defend itself from PRC aggression, but to give it confidence it needs to go to the negotiating table and strike a balance between the goals of the mainland and the goals of the 23 million people of Taiwan.
Despite the recent positive developments in cross-Strait relations, the continued build-up on the mainland opposite Taiwan and the increased targeting of People's Liberation Army assets directed toward Taiwan continues unabated. Chinese military leaders seek capabilities to ensure an attempted invasion of Taiwan would be successful if Beijing ordered the attack, successfully deter Taiwan independence or influence Taiwan to settle the dispute on Beijing's terms, and potentially deter, delay or deny any possible US support for the island in case of conflict. The balance of cross-Strait military forces continues to shift in the mainland's favour.
Can we believe in the fidelity of negotiations if China is, figuratively speaking, holding a gun to the head of Taiwan? And can the United States stand by and let the cross-strait military balance continue to tilt in Beijing's favour when it is clear that losing Taiwan would, as mentioned before, harm US interests and ideals and destabilize the security environment in Asia? That simply does not make sense.

Seagrass opponents gain ally
Opponents of the Seagrass Cottages development on Semiahmoo spit are expected to turn out in large numbers at the Blaine planning commission's public hearing next Thursday, so many in fact that the city has reserved the Blaine performing arts center for the crowd. They'll probably be pleased to learn they've been joined in their opposition by the city planning staff.
In a report made public two days ago, Blaine city planning staff recommended that the city planning commission urge the city council to deny approval of the development.
the 58-page report advises the commission to recommend
that city council deny developer requests for preliminary
plat approval, Planned Unit Development (PUD) approval
and shoreline management substantial development permit
approval for the project.
The report is available on-line at www.cityofblaine.com or at the planning office.
The approval process for the 72-unit 22-acre project had cleared one major hurdle last December when Blaine community development director Terry Galvin, functioning as the city's state environmental protection act (SEPA) official, issued a mitigated determination of non-significance (MDNS) for construction, meaning that the project would be approved so long as 30 conditions were met.
The next step in the approval process is next week's public hearing before the Blaine Planning Commission which takes place Thursday, February 24 at 7 p.m. at the performing arts center.
The staff also recommended postponing closing the public testimony portion of the hearing until the applicant has provided the commission with more information regarding conditions eight and 14 and staff has prepared a response as an addendum. Condition eight concerns details of the stormwater quality monitoring plan and condition 14 concerns details on the project's contributing to local road improvements as required in the original approval for the resort in 1986.
The report goes on to say that if the planning commission does recommend approval, then the project should be required to meet 27 different criteria as conditions of that approval. This is in addition to the 30 conditions set forth last December in the SEPA report and would require the developer to, among other things, cluster the units and reduce their footprint, eliminate several parallel access corridors and find room in the resort's central, shared parking for an additional 208 spaces.
appeals and a possible buyer for the property
The planning commission will also hear appeals from the developer and opponents wanting to contest aspects of Galvin's MDNS finding. The Trillium Corporation is appealing certain time constraints to meet conditions specified in the SEPA report as well as requirements limiting the amount of impervious cover (roofs, driveways, etc.) on each lot.
The Pointe on Semiahmoo Homeowners Association is also appealing the MDNS on five issues concerning impacts to birds and bird habitat, adjacent bodies of water including salt water, aesthetics and views, available space for parking and the realignment of Semiahmoo Parkway.
Separately, the Semiahmoo Spit Preservation Committee will continue its public appeal for funds to find ways of buying the property from Trillium in order to preserve it as open space.
The committee already has initiated discussions about a possible purchase of the property with Trillium and, according to co-chairman Trevor Hoskins, has found them "receptive." After receiving the blessing of the Blaine City Council to take part in its deliberations, Blaine parks board members Shelley Button, Janet Hrutfiord, Charlie Hawkins and Janet Hansen joined the group. However, as the project is currently under review the city cannot take an official position and the four sit as advisory members only.
residents Hoskins and Ron Miller
chair the group and led a recent petition
campaign aimed at examining the development.
Other committee members are Jim Jorgenson
and Jane Thompson.
Hoskins explained that the group has "plans to use the trust for public land to raise the necessary funds."
"We hope this community effort to find an alternative to developing the property will wind up making everybody happy," said committee co-chairman Miller, "because we want the property owner to get a fair price for the land and all the work that's gone into planning the project, but we believe strongly that this beautiful site needs to remain in its natural state for the enjoyment of the public and the survival of all the birds and wildlife that live there now."
Committee members chose to work with the Land Trust because it buys more land for preservation than any other entity in America, Miller continued. "It specializes in the complex task of finding purchase funds from public agencies and private sources, and it can and will handle all the applications and presentations for the committee.
"An initiative to buy the land outright will be most effective as a citizen-led effort," Blaine city manager Gary Tomsic said, "and the survey we conducted showed a good deal of public interest and support for this idea. We are certainly open to becoming a funding conduit for other state and local funds for which a general government must be the applicant. We appreciate the effort of these citizens in forming an organized strategy."
Hoskins thanked the 400-plus citizens who signed the group's petitions and added, "We hope to see all of them at the public hearing February 24."
