It all started at CES in January of 2010. That's when Google met with execs from various major record labels, I'm told, to discuss launching a possible music service. The meetings were very exploratory, but it sounded at the time like the service would be cloud-based.
Fast forward to the present, and rumors of Google's music service haven't become any clearer: We've seen leaked screenshots, read of relevant music acquisitions and internal testing, and heard reports of stalled negotiations. As one music industry source recently told me, "Google music is now surpassing Spotify as the best music service that never launched."
However, negotiations between Google and the labels are still very active… continued.

Faith Hill blew fans away last night on the CMA Awards with an incredible comeback performance of her brand new single, "Come Home." Hill looked and sounded totally fantastic, something that country music fans have come to expect. What might be surprising however, is that her new single isn't entirely new.
The song was written by Ryan Tedder, lead singer of OneRepublic ("Apologize," "Stop and Stare"), and originally appeared on the group's 2007 debut album Dreaming Out Loud. "Come Home" was also a single for the group, who re-recorded it with fellow Adult Contemporary star Sara Bareilles ("Love Song").
After the jump, check out both Faith and OneRepulic's versions of the songs and let us know which one is your favorite in the comments below!

I'm just hopen they don't completely ignore Blood Elf and Dranei starting areas and cities like they have been lately. It would be a shame. Specially for the Blood Elves since one of there primary concerns is the Scourge... which is also why its annoying to see they have no presence in Northrend. :/
The Horde district of Dalaran is called Sunreaver's Sanctuary. The Blood Elves have a presence in Northrend, certainly more than the Draenei do.
At any rate, I doubt there will be too much overhauling of those starting zones, since they're already much higher quality in both art and quest design than the old crusty vanilla zones.

Manana Nachkebia: "Ministry of Education Must Be Held Responsible for It"
"The Ministry of Education and Science must be held responsible for the failed schooling process in public schools in the regions of Georgia when the president arrives there," said a leader of the New Rights Manana Nachkebia.
"The local media sources often report that regional and district administrations order to cancel lessons in public schools and to mobilize teachers and pupils for the large-scale meeting with the president of Georgia. The teachers of nursery schools are also compelled to attend the meeting and the kindergartens often finish working hours earlier," Nachkebia said.
Manana Nachkebia relied on the video-material of the Information Center of Kakheti, which was released on March 5.
"The video shows how school-children are withdrawn from the Akhmeta district public schools to meet the president. It is alarming that children were transported by trunks that could create problems for their health. According to the ICK, the head of the district educational resource center Bela Marukashvili supervised the mobilization process of teachers and pupils. Since the Ministry does not react on the failed schooling process in public schools, we believe the Ministry also agrees with it. It is incredible because the ministry is authorized to ensure normal schooling process in the education system while they make the system politicized and fail the schooling process," Manana Nachkebia said.
She added that the Ministry must be held responsible for similar facts and stop using the system for political purposes of the ruling party.
"We call upon the President to stop PR campaign with "large-scale meetings" in the regions and forced participation of teachers, pupils and personnel of state agencies in them," said the leader of the New Rights.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm not even sure where to start to describe the state that my guild is in.
The guild I'm a part of (and have been since the SSC days) is one of the oldest guilds on the server, founded in March 2005. We have 550 characters in it (granted a lot are alts). We were a top 10 guild in BC, a top 5 guild in Wrath.
And now we barely have 5 people on at a time. We do still try to do 10 mans, but sometimes we have to pug one or two people. Healers especially are hard to come by. And I'm one of the healers who stopped raiding this expansion.
I think burnout is a part of it. We were always going for the Meta achievements last expansion, both 10 and 25man. We had LK Heroic 10 down and were wiping to 25 when Cata came out. Ulduar was done, we had groups that had done Herald of the Titans and all the crazy Crusader achievements. Most of us were raiding both 10 and 25 each week on our mains, if not also on an alt.
It was fun, but when I realized what I was doing 4, 5 nights a week I just stopped cold turkey when Cata came out. I still haven't done Bastion of Twilight ever. I'm trying to make myself realize that even non-raid achievements are not that important. I was raiding with my wife so that wasn't an issue, but I think we both realized we would rather be doing stuff away from the computer.
And I don't think I was the only one who felt this way. Over the years a lot of us have started to keep in touch outside of WoW (Facebook, etc), and I even had a lot of guildies come to my wedding. I think some us of were playing just to keep in touch with one another, and when we realized we didn't need WoW for that some stopped signing on.
As I said, we can barely field one 10 man a week now. During ICC we would be doing 25's and have 35 people signed up and online. I know I still get the invites, I know I'm a healer and one of the problem spots they can't fill, but I just can't make myself raid anymore. I know the guild leadership had some arguments when Cata came out about 10/25 raiding, and at first tried to do 25's unsuccessfully. Then we partnered with another guild to do 25's, which didn't work out well. Then we cut back to 10's, and here we are today.
I don't know if the raid sizes had that much of an effect on what happened with us. I'm sure it's part of it - we have had people leave to other guilds and other servers to be with "better raid guilds" than we are anymore. We've had (a lot) of people stop playing all together. And we've had others like me who still sign on a lot, but do random things or level alts instead of raid.
I think part of the problem is Cata just didn't grab people the same way Wrath did. I loved all of Wrath, I loved continuing Arthas' storyline from WC3. And now that's over. Yeah, Deathwing, hurray. Pandas, woo. I feel like Blizzard may have put out Arthas an expansion or two too early, but what's done is done.
I don't see my guild reviving unless a lot of the people who have quit suddenly decide to come back for Pandas. And I don't see the hook for that happening yet. I know I still love to see the content, but I can do LFR for that now (which is awesome). I'll still be playing, but not really wanting to raid. And as mentioned in the article there aren't a lot of raiders wandering guildless anymore who we can grab to bolster our ranks.
I've loved my time in the game. I'm happy with all the people I've met through it. I'll keep playing WoW because it's fun, but I'm no longer a hardcore player. And all the friends I've made, well, I'll talk to them on Facebook, or text them. Or hang out with them in person. If I take anything away from WoW when I stop playing it will be all the friends that have come from it.
Anyway, this is a long rambling comment. I'm not even sure what my intention with it was anymore! I just know my guild is a shell of what it used to be, and I'm not sure what will bring it back.
Pyromelter said...
Looks like you needed to get some of this off your chest Jerry. Wow Insider is a great place for rambles like that. Sorry to hear your guild is down, but it seems like you had a good run. Don't despair. Earlier last year I was looking up Cuties Only on wowprogress, since they had been a world top 100 guild for a number of years. After t11, they completely shut down. It was hard for me to think that a guild that was so good would just up and quit, but they did - it was time to move on.
It's hard to play the same game for years and years on end. There's nothing wrong with feeling like wow is in the past, and you're moving on. I will say it may be difficult for you to realize it, and maybe it's dawning on you that your wow days are coming to a close (along with the guild you are in).
I've had this sentiment expressed to me by more than one raider for whom the endgame was the be all, end all. The top guilds on my server in BC and Wrath disappeared within weeks of the new expansion dropping. I watched one of the top rated guilds pack up; lock, pally, bank and gnomes; and beat it to another server, but not before lambasting the lack of quality players. It was dead within three months. The few players I knew from that guild, great people I had lots of fun running with, have disappeared.
Our wants and desires and needs in a game such as this changes as we progress with our lives outside of the computer. It took my officers and I some months to process that some people we cared very much about have decided this game is no longer for them. We won't see their names log on anymore. They have been replaced by new people, no less skilled, no less exciting, no less friendly, just wearing a different name plate than the one we used to see.
I think this paragraph is key to your post. "I've loved my time in the game. I'm happy with all the people I've met through it. I'll keep playing WoW because it's fun, but I'm no longer a hardcore player. And all the friends I've made, well, I'll talk to them on Facebook, or text them. Or hang out with them in person. If I take anything away from WoW when I stop playing it will be all the friends that have come from it." The game you played before filled a niche at a time that you needed it. You've made friends, moved beyond the computer, and find that a "game" no longer meets what you want out of life. You're playing, not out of an obligation because you're a healer, but because it's fun.
Don't apologize for where your guild finds itself and your contribution to that. Maybe your guild needs to decide what it wants to be and maybe that isn't a raiding guild. Maybe just a place for people to hang out and run dailies is all that it is. That's a good place to be, too.
The game, as it has been designed, has always accommodated various play styles. Hardcore, world firsts to "I just want to fish off the dock in Menethil" have found people to do that with. You'll be fine however you choose to play or, when that time comes, you choose not to play.

Mesa, Arizona (CNN) – It's been a difficult few days for Rick Santorum. Fairly or unfairly, you always know you have a campaign problem when media outlets are asking you about statements you've made about Satan and Hitler.
To his credit, he's not ducking and weaving. He's not shying away from answering these questions and others involving his stance on the most sensitive social issues out there, including gay rights, abortion, contraception, religion and a woman's role in the military.

(CNN) – Because I've now moderated three of them, I know it will sound self-serving when I say I've really enjoyed watching all the Republican presidential debates. There have been about 20 so far, and they have been informative. Like the millions of Americans who've watched them on television, I've learned a great deal about the candidates. They've been really instrumental in shaping public attitudes.

RELATED STORY: Florida debate's most buzz-worthy moments
Wolf Blitzer talks with Anderson Cooper about his interaction with Newt Gingrich during the CNN Debate.
By Wolf Blitzer, CNN
Jacksonville, Florida (CNN) – I am blessed with a great team of producers and researchers who have helped me craft a lot of strong questions for tonight's Republican presidential debate here on the campus of the University of North Florida. First of all, let me thank them. Hopefully, I won't disappoint our viewers tonight.
This will be my third Republican debate in this presidential cycle. The ones I moderated at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa and at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., I thought, were solid and informative. We focused on some of the most important issues impacting Americans. I will try to do that once again tonight.
The earlier debates had eight candidates on the stage. Four finalists remain tonight. That means each candidate will get some more time. And that is good.
My goal is that the voters in Florida and across the country will have a better appreciation of these candidates following the debate. I want the voters to know where the candidates agree and where they disagree. Undecided Republicans certainly need to know how each candidate would operate as president.
Four years ago, I moderated five presidential debates. Each was important, especially that final debate I moderated at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. At that time, only Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were left on the stage. The debate was substantive and important and no doubt shaped Democratic voters.
Having said that, I believe all these Republican debates in this current election cycle may in fact be even more important. Tonight's debate will be the 19th. Millions of people are watching and learning and making final voting decisions. And that's the way it should be.
One final personal note: I feel honored that I have this opportunity to moderate the debate. No matter how many times I do it, I feel blessed.

By Wolf Blitzer, CNN
(CNN) - A week ago, the Gallup daily tracking poll of registered Republicans around the country had Mitt Romney at 37% with Newt Gingrich at only 14%. Guess what? That 23-point spread has now disappeared. The new nationwide Gallup numbers: Romney 29% to Gingrich's 28%. That's a statistical tie well within the 3-point sampling error.
It only goes to show you how quickly political fortunes can change. Fresh from his double-digit victory over Romney in South Carolina, Gingrich now certainly has the political momentum going with him into Florida's January 31 primary. He seems to be on a roll.
By Wolf Blitzer, CNN
(CNN) - And now there are four Republican presidential candidates left in the contest.
They were all on the stage Thursday night at the tough CNN debate in South Carolina.
One of them will almost certainly face President Barack Obama in November. There is still a tiny chance no one will emerge with enough delegates to wrap things up. I suppose, at least theoretically, there could be a brokered convention in Tampa, Florida, at the end of August.
By Wolf Blitzer, CNN
Charleston, South Carolina (CNN) – Here are a few things I will be looking for in Thursday night's CNN Southern Republican Presidential Debate:
The four remaining candidates have been beating up on each other in recent days. Will they have the guts to blast their opponents when they are standing right next to them?
Rick Santorum, whom I interviewed Thursday in Charleston, has had an ad running that says Mitt Romney is "just like Obama." He refers to Romney's support for health care mandates in Massachusetts. Will Santorum look Romney in the eyes and repeat that line Thursday night?
Newt Gingrich told me in Iowa that he doesn't think he could vote for Ron Paul if the Texas congressman were to win the GOP nomination. He cites Paul's national security policies. Will Gingrich be prepared to go that far in the debate?
Is Romney going to announce that he's ready to release his income tax returns now - as opposed to in April, as he suggested earlier this week? Even strong supporter New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he should be completely transparent.
Will the issue of Gingrich's three marriages be a major issue? The reported comments by his second wife that he once wanted an "open marriage" have certainly generated a lot of commotion. Let's see how the former House speaker handles that controversy and what his rivals say.
The many debates during this election cycle have been so important in this contest. Gingrich is surging in South Carolina now in part because of his strong performance in Monday night's debate. Thursday night's CNN debate will be must-see TV.
Tune in Thursday at 8 p.m. ET for the CNN/Southern Republican Presidential Debate hosted by John King and follow it on Twitter at #CNNDebate. For real-time coverage of the South Carolina primary, go to CNNPolitics.com or to the CNN apps or CNN mobile web site.

Video Alleging Toronto's Mayor Smokes Crack Makes DC's Scandals Look Lame
- Politics
A video has surfaced that apparently shows Toronto Mayor Rob Ford smoking crack cocaine. A group of Somali men, apparently drug dealers, were asking for a $100,000 yesterday to allow members of the media to see the footage.
According to the Toronto Star, two reporters who work for the paper have seen a video several times that shows the mayor smoking from a glass crack pipe, and then joking with someone off-camera about Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau.
Ford was elected in 2010, and is no stranger to scandal. In 2012, he was found to have violated the conflict of interest law, but a judge overturned the ruling, allowing him to stay in office.
In 2006, he was kicked out of a hockey game for drunkenly shouting at other fans, and has several times been criticized for using racial and homphobic slurs. (A helpful list of his most ludicrous statements can be found here.) In 2010, he got a DUI in Miami, Florida.
There are also these (photoshopped but still upsetting) naked pictures of him.

An unknown suspect robbed the McDonald's on Grove Street Nov. 1, according to police.
Fayetteville police said officers responded to a report of an armed robbery at the restaurant at 542 Grove Street around 5:30 a.m. Upon arrival, officers learned an unknown black male entered the business and jumped the front counter. The suspect then pulled out a handgun and demanded money, police said.
The suspect fled the area once he obtained an unknown amount of money, police said.
The suspect was described as a black male, 20 to 25 years old, wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt and khaki pants.
Anyone with information concerning the robbery or the identity of the suspect, is asked to contact Sergeant G. Womble with the Fayetteville Police Department at (910) 916-2764 or Crimestoppers at (910) 483-TIPS (8477). Crimestoppers information can also be submitted by visiting Fayetteville CrimeStoppers and completing the anonymous online tip sheet.


text: Founded in Florence on 4th June 1753 on the initiative of the Lateran Canon Ubaldo Montelatici, the Academy was the first public body in Europe dedicated to agrarian studies aimed at improving agricultural production by means of the rational use of the land. Under the patronage of the Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo di Lorena, the enormous problems linked to the renewal of agricultural means, the cereal trade, animal husbandry, sharecropping, reclamation and other issues connected with low land productivity at that time, were faced. Its historic value in the early years of the XIX century are undoubted, on the invitation of Napoleon Bonaparte, it examined the new rural Code and under Ferdinando III, it produced the Grand Dukes land register. In 1829 it promoted the institution of the Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze savings bank and in 1831 the Georgofili Chairman, Cosimo Ridolfi, founded the first agrarian school in Italy. After the First World War, the Academy focused on the problems relative to the causes of the peasant uprisings, colonial relations, economic conditions in the rural areas of the Apennines, the colonisation of the landed estates and other problems linked to land ownership. In the disastrous flood of the 4th November 1966, the library, which contained ancient volumes of inestimable value, suffered most of all. Unfortunately, on the 27th May 1993 a mafia attack which killed and wounded several people, also seriously damaged the seat of the Academy. In 1996, after lengthy restoration works, the building was returned to its original form and the Library was almost completely restored to its original state. Today it is a very active institution, above all in the IT field, and deals mainly with the relationship between agriculture and the environment, renewable and green energy sources in the defence and restoration of the environment. It still houses the extremely valuable Library (with around 70,000 volumes) and an important Archive.

UNDATED (WTVB) - Get skilled…Get work. Skilled workers are in high demand right now, and there may be a critical shortage of them in a few years. The Society of Manufacturing Engineers says there may be as many as three-million skilled factory vacancies by 2015. The group blames the shortage on a sharp increase in four-year college enrollment for white collar careers, as well as parents influencing their kids away from manufacturing jobs. Welders, for example, are in high demand across many fields, from highway construction to natural gas production. They make, on average, about 48-thousand dollars per year.

Diane Keaton's Layered Bob
Lots of flirty layers keep Keatons style fresh and full of movement; face-framing fringe also offers a fun complement to her bold specs. Ask for a layered bob that falls just below the jaw line and includes shorter fringes around the face and side-swept bangs. To style, use a round brush to flip the ends out as you blow dry.

Guest article by Susan Strawbridge, Park Services Specialist
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park has announced that "Yuma" is the name selected for the Florida Panther kitten that will be make its home at the Wildlife Park. "Yuma" is Native-American for "Son of the Chief." Over 100 names were submitted by park staff and visitors. The four most frequently suggested names were then voted on by Park staff. The kitten's name was announced by Park Manager Kim Tennille at Saturday's Earth Day Celebration at the Park.
Back in January, the approximately seven-day old kitten was rescued by biologists with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Conservancy of Southwest Florida in the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge in Collier County. The one-pound male kitten was found in a matted down area of sawgrass and was nonresponsive with a dangerously low body temperature. Biologists determined that the kitten was in very poor condition and would not survive without intervention. The decision was made to rescue him and bring him into captivity.
The kitten was immediately transported to the Animal Specialty Hospital of Florida in Naples where veterinarians and staff performed life-saving measures to treat him for dehydration, malnourishment and raise his body temperature. Once he was stable, he was transported to Lowry Park Zoo for further rehabilitation and vaccines. While in their care he continued to improve, gaining weight and strength.
On April 3, 2014, the Florida Panther kitten was moved to Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park where he will make his home. The kitten was kept for the first few weeks in the Felburn Wildlife Care Building so he could acclimate to a new environment and the wildlife care staff. Now at approximately 13 weeks old, he weighs about 15 pounds.
The kitten can be seen, weather permitting, at a distance during the Wildlife Encounter programs. These programs are held daily at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. He will eventually be introduced into the Panther habitat.

5 Short-Squeeze Plays Primed for Quick Profits
Another potential earnings short-squeeze trade is DSW (DSW), which is set to release its numbers on Tuesday before the market open. This is a retailer of footwear and accessories. It offers a wide assortment of brand name and designer dress, casual and athletic footwear for women and men. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect DSW to report revenue of $589.15 million on earnings of 89 cents per share.
Just this morning, Brean Capital said they remain aggressive buyers of DSW ahead of its third quarter results. The firm cited valuation, trends showing the store ramp is on track, and the spread of brand awareness. The firm has the stock rated a buy with a $72 price target.
The current short interest as a percentage of the float for DSW is rather high at 10.3%. That means that out of the 37.42 million shares in the tradable float, 3.51 million shares are sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 6.9%, or by about 227,000 shares. If the bears are caught leaning too hard into this quarter, then we could easily see a large short-squeeze develop post-earnings.From a technical perspective, DSW is currently trending above its 200-day moving average and below its 50-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has been downtrending for the last two months, with shares falling from a high of $69.15 to a recent low of $57.27 a share. During that move lower, shares of DSW have been consistently making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, the stock has started to bounce hard right off its 200-day moving average of $58.28 and it's now pushing within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. If you're in the bull camp on DSW, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades once it manages to break out above its 50-day at $64.18 and then above some near-term overhead resistance at $64.27 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average action of 472,808 shares. If we get that breakout, then look for DSW to trend up towards its next significant overhead resistance levels at $68 to $69.15 a share. Keep in mind that any move above $69.15 will push DSW into new 52-week high territory, which is bullish technical price action.

Once the team receives Council's direction, they will begin finalizing the contract for private management of the City's golf courses.

Sending Out A Big Thank You!
by Kevin Bennington, Golf Administrator

As we are nearing the end of an era, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize and thank all of the full-time City of Virginia Beach employees that have provided you with the quality golf courses that many of you call home. Through the good and the bad in my ten years with the City of Virginia Beach, these individuals have dedicated themselves to providing our guests with the best possible golfing experience that our resources would allow.
At Red Wing Lake Golf Course:
Jerome Smith, Scott Newbury, Cary Shaw, Dino Hallmark, Brian Dobson and Paul Simmers.
At Bow Creek Golf Course:

At Kempsville Greens Golf Course:
Tyrone Davis, Bill Ratcliffe, Pete Taylor, Steve Cotter and Matt (Rob) Gimbert.

Top Ten Gift Ideas for Golfers
10. Golf Accessories
- Accessories such as golf tees, ball markers and divot repairers are always needed. (Cost = Low)
9. Golf Gloves
- Golf gloves are replaced often, so having extra is never a bad thing. (Cost = Low)
8. Training Aids
- There is always room for improvement, so training aids such as swing trainers, practice balls, practice mats and practice videos from professionals are a good idea. (Cost = Moderate)
7. Free Round(s) of Golf
- Paying the greens fee for a couple of rounds is a welcomed gift by all golfers. Knowing your golfer's favorite course and which courses to avoid is essential. (Cost = Moderate-High)
6. Golf Lessons
- A gift certificate for golf lessons by a local professional is a great gift idea for your golfer, so they can get an expert opinion on their swing. Prices vary depending on where the lessons take place and with whom. (Cost = Moderate-High)
5. Rainwear
- Rain jacket pullovers are a great idea as they can be used on the golf course if the situation presents itself and they can also be used off the course. (Cost = Moderate)
4. Club Covers
- Club covers give golfers the ability to protect their clubs from the common wear and tear of rounds of golf. Consider custom club covers or covers that
include your golfer's favorite team. (Cost = Low-Moderate)
3. Prints/Paintings
- Most golfers love to decorate their rooms or offices with frames of golf holes. Some good ideas for prints would include golf holes from St. Andrews, Augusta National, Pebble Beach and Kiawah Island. (Cost = Moderate-High)
2. Balls
- Golfers often lose golf balls due to water hazards and hitting out of bounds. Just be sure to ask your golfer if they have a preference on the type of ball. (Cost = Moderate)
1. Clubs
- This is the ultimate gift for your golfer. Whether you prefer to buy one club or a whole set, it's best to find out which clubs your golfer has their eye on. (Cost = High)
Just for Fun: Why Are Golf Balls Like Eggs?
They're white, sold by the dozen and a week later you have to buy more.

Walked / ran into the valley under the 1000 ft north face. Armed with nought but a pair of off-road running shoes, a (walking) ice axe and a grin. Having walked / climbed up the north face of Cribbyn for practice.
I aimed to meadander up the middle and then go right - towards the tourist walking path (from Brecon), but half way up realised the gullies were full of very loose boulders (it was summer). That meant backing down the way I'd came or going straight up the middle... I thought, "Aww,... that don't look too bad" so I went for it. It got steeper and steeper until around 200 feet from the top it went vertical with the odd tiny over hang... By now I was cacking it, 800 feet up and 200 feet unroped above me. I began to say a mantra to my self "I'm in my garden, I'm in my garden" and concentrated only on the next six foot above me... Some of the boulders I hooked rocked as I pulled on them (it's vertical turf n boulder)... By now I was near shouting the mantra... Now unbeknown to me, an old chap had walked up the tourist path and was leaning over the drop because he could hear some one shouting that they were in their garden !! My last swing (onto the top) nearly went through his foot! We laughed about it soon afterwards... and I told myself not to climb crappy vertical mud in the summer again. Pen-y-Fan (north face) is far harder than Cribbyn north face... :-) Hope you enjoyed my account... Wildy - Solo O/S - 20/Jul/08

One of the higlights of my Christmas was that my mom bought me a vintage film SLR camera and she gave me some of her dad's old film camera equipment which ended up being three 35mm film cameras and several lenses. Needless to say - I'm over the moon about it. I can not wait both to photograph the cameras themselves but also to use some of the film my mom gave me. I have been staring at my box of loot all day today, hoping I could get away while the light was good - but there were so many other things to do today and I've got nothing.
My favorite part about this time of year is looking ahead to the new year. I'm a big list maker and New Year's resolution maker. Of course a big part of that list is this blog and my photography classes. I'm working on putting together a couple e-books. One will be out January first and will be a companion to your new SLR camera (Download the first chapter here). I'm thinking that possibly a class on photo editing would be in order for January as well. I'm also going to be working on a lighthearted e-book on how to improve cell phone photography. I'm super-excited about it. You can get a sneak peak here. I'm really interested in what you - my faithful reader - would like to see.

These spicy, soft pretzels are best enjoyed warm, but they are still great when completely cooled.
Prep Time: 2 hours
Bake Time: 8-9 minutes
Yield: 12 pretzels
3 3/4 - 4 cups bread flour, divided
1 package (1/4 ounce) fast- rise yeast
1½ cups very warm water (120° - 130°F)
1 tablespoon honey
3 - 5 tablespoons finely chopped pickled jalapenos
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 cups boiling water
¼ cup baking soda
1 tablespoon melted butter, optional
1. In mixer bowl, combine 2 cups flour and yeast. Stir in water until thoroughly combined. Add honey, jalapenos, salt and cheese. Gradually add enough of the remaining flour until a soft dough forms. Knead dough by hand or with dough hook 8 to 10 minutes.
2. Place dough in oiled bowl turning to coat. Cover with damp towel; let rise until double, about 1 hour. Punch down dough; divide into 12 equal portions; cover with damp towel.
3. In a shallow glass bowl measure baking soda. Boil 2 cups water. Pour boiling water over baking soda; stir until soda is completely dissolved. Set aside.
4. Grease or line with parchment paper two 13 x 18-inch baking sheets. Roll dough portions into 2 to 2 ½ foot lengths about ¼ to ½ inch in diameter (about the size of a large pencil). Twist into pretzels by making a circle, bringing ends together, twisting twice and pressing ends onto bottom curve of circle.
5. Dip pretzels into soda water; place 6 pretzels per baking sheet. Let rise 15 to 20 minutes.
6. Bake in preheated 450°F oven 8 to 9 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately transfer to wire rack. If desired, lightly brush pretzel with melted butter.
Variation: Omit step 3 (soda and water mixture); shape the dough in pretzels, let rise 15 to 20 minutes and bake.
Makes 12 pretzels.
One pretzel provides approximately 208 calories; 8 g protein; 36 g carbohydrate; 1 g dietary fiber; 3 g fat ( 2 g saturated); 10 mg cholesterol; 85 mcg folate; 2 mg iron and 262 mg sodium.

This week I signed onto H.Res. 675 to reassure the governors of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California that if they exercise their states' constitutional authority to defend themselves and deploy their respective National Guard units to secure the international border that falls within their states, Congress will set aside funds to reimburse them for costs incurred securing the border.
Rep. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo. totally ignoring the fact that the National Guard can't actually do anything but confront tired and thirsty children with guns to refer them to the Border Patrol.
So she's supporting dropping millions to do really nothing, except using the National Guard as well-armed secretaries.
This whole "Fuck Obama" skullduggery is getting expensive. And we could spend that money on other things, like actually helping these refugee kiddos.
A man tried to burn down an underage girl's house because she refused his sexual advances.
Not all men get violent when rejected, BUT SOME DO. Before this is hijacked by the "not all men" crowd, can we please think about this for a minute? This is the much more extreme version of feeling entitled to a woman's body in some way. The softer, more sinister version is calling women bitches because they refused a drink you bought.
It's catcalling — which is more aptly titled "street harassment" — and telling women to smile on command. It's calling women sluts for having sex with men who are not you. It's whining about the friendzone — you were SO NICE and just can't understand why she won't fuck you. YOU WERE NICE DAMMIT!
It's following women down the street for ignoring you. It's stabbing a classmate to death because she doesn't want to go to prom with you.
And it's trying to burn down a teenage girl's house because you think you're entitled to fuck her whether she likes it or not.
Just sayin'
Stay classy, Wyoming:
"The dispute hinges on each side's evidence of who drew the penis."
Protip: Don't draw dicks at work. You might get yourself or a co-worker fired.
And this is why Wyoming will never be known as a tolerant state - much less an accepting one.
I'm sure this commenter has "homo" friends, but I would also argue he's likely just assuming he's friends with gay people. I find it unlikely any LGBTQIA person would purposefully identify themselves to someone who seriously thinks heterophobia is a thing on par with homophobia. He flat out says their presence "deprecates" the state. This person is a virulent homophobe who cannot even see how these comments are hateful.
These comments come on an article in The Laramie Boomerang about changing the narrative on hate crime legislation in Wyoming and actually protecting Wyoming's LGBTQIA residents. The article implies that Matthew Shepard's murder was a galvanizing force for change in Wyoming and in Laramie. When I see comments like this, though, I have to wonder.

Liz Cheney Is Really, Really From Wyoming, Again (This Time With Dick Cheney Grandspawn)
In this new campaign ad, creatively titled "Daughters," Liz Cheney's daughters talk about their family's "deep roots" in the state that their mother left during junior high school and returned to last year to run for Senate. She is totally a Wyoming … what is the word you people say… "gal." Through and through. Her papa, Dick "Papa Dik" Cheney, lived there oncet, and even represented the state in Congress. In the last century. Also, pay no attention to their Aunt Mary and her heathen Virginia ways.
Oh, and what's this I hear today? Liz Cheney's hubby committing VOTER FRAUD in Wyoming? I'm not sure the tighty-righties will actually care, given that there's no ACORN in sight - just a bunch of nuts. But say it ain't so, Darth Lizzy.
Well, gee whiz. It's so.
Mary Cheney and her wife, Heather Poe, drop some serious truth on Liz Cheney via Facebook.
Liz is running for the U.S. Senate in Wyoming, despite living there for about five minutes, and is trying to seal the deal by out-cowboying one of Wyoming's longtime senators, Mike Enzi. Her campaign ads are basically, "I'M MORE OF A RIGHT-WING WESTERNER THAN YOU! SO THERE! (oh BTW fuck Obama, here's a sunset on the mountains)."
I love that Cheney and Poe are calling Liz out on this particular bullshit, and publicly. Enzi has the same stance regarding marriage equality, and god forbid a GOP candidate appear to be more *gasp* MODERATE than an opponent.
Hey DC folks! Check this out, you won't regret it. I went to this event in Cheyenne, and it's a terrifying, yet vindicating, recreation of a very dark chapter in LGBTQ and American history.
Take a gander at the book here. Here's the summary:
"'Joe McCarthy's Cold War witch-hunts targeted people with same-sex attractions as much, maybe more than those with Communist sympathies.' This introduction to Rodger McDaniel's book sets the stage for a story of the most wretched political blackmail in American history. Lester Hunt was the kind of person we'd all want to be a part of our national government. Kind and empathetic, honest and hardworking, he was as one of his eulogists said, 'ill prepared for the cruel, brutal, rough aspect of national partisan politics.'
Hunt committed suicide in his Senate office in 1954. His death was tragic enough. Yet readers will find even more about which to lament reading of his extraordinary life. Dying for Joe McCarthy's Sins is not only Lester Hunt's story. It's the story of America during the virulent years of the early Cold War, of McCarthyism, and the way the voluntary death of a Wyoming senator helped to bring the curtain down on Joe McCarthy."

From "Public Enemy: Confessions of an American Dissident" by Prof. Bill Ayers
Excellent read. And #Wyoming, you're immortalized in print, beginning on p. 155.
(Source: facebook.com)
They didn't think he would come.
He was a Ku Klux Klan organizer, after all, and they were local leaders of the NAACP, historic enemies. They spent months negotiating the terms of his visit to Casper. There were ground rules, topics to be discussed and guarantees of a security team.
They wait in a small, low-ceiling conference room in the Parkway Plaza hotel. Four NAACP leaders. Ten mints, striped red and white, sit clustered on the table. The pitchers of ice water on the table drip sweat.
"Showtime," a security man says. He's here.
A security check, swipes with a metal-detecting wand, and he steps into the room.
Here is John Abarr, an organizer for the United Klans of America, carrying a brown briefcase, shaking hands, settling into a high-backed swivel chair, leaning in, ready to talk. This could be the first time representatives of the two groups purposely met in peace.
Keisha Simmons, the secretary of the Casper branch of the NAACP, pours the Klansman a plastic foam cup of water.
A security man locks the wooden conference room door.
This article is an incredible read; however, the comments on this article are sadly predictable.
Thank you, Nichole, very much for your well stated message dealing with marijuana. Living in the United States, we are fortunate to have the opportunity to experience many different tastes and preferences offered from one state to another. Some states have legalized gambling, and some have not. In Nevada, prostitution is perfectly legal while in all others it is not. Some states have provisions for same-sex marriages and some do not. If one does not believe in the second amendment and therefore wishes to have strict firearm limitations and registrations, there are states that restrict this second amendment right far more than Wyoming. And the list goes on and on. And now we finally have some states that legally allow the, growing and use of marijuana.
We are also extremely fortunate in this country that we can freely move from one state to another and reside in any community we wish. In other words people that prefer living in a state that promotes gambling and offers a complete menu of such can choose to live in states that have legal gambling. On the other hand people who don't want to live in a gambling state can simply relocate and reside in a state the disallows gambling such as Wyoming.
The same goes for same-sex marriage and marijuana. If an individual American prefers a state that has adopted either one of these social options, or now, even both of them, (there are states that provide these two opportunities). In short, one can choose to reside in whichever state offers just the right combination of these and other forms of social conduct to best suit their tastes and preferences.
I and demographers in general are well aware of the fact that hundreds and hundreds of people have moved and continue to move into Wyoming because of our posture on these and many other economic and social attributes allowed and not allowed here. By the same token, there are no doubt hundreds of Wyoming citizens that have relocated to other states offering what they believe to be valuable amenities such as marijuana, same sex marriage, gun restrictions, prostitution, gambling etc. As a further example I would fully expect to see many Wyoming residents move to Colorado or Montana so that they may legally enjoy marijuana. It, in fact ocurred [sic] to me when reading your message that it was puzzling to learn that you chose Wyoming instead of Montana or Colorado that now celebrates their marijuana laws in open parks open to the public of all ages.
Thus, in short, there is no perceived need to make radical changes in these and other social phenomena in Wyoming since it is extremely easy for those seeking these changes to acquire them on their own elsewhere.
In addition, it is very important to note that any such potential change toward drug legalization would be met with much disfavor and even disgust among those hundreds and hundreds of people who have (or intend) to move to Wyoming from many of these other drug-permissive states - precisely because of our present posture.
I hope I have adequately explained my position on this matter. If not please let me know and I will explain further. Again, thank you for the message.
Michael K. Madden
Dist. 40 Rep.
Wyoming Rep. Michael Madden's reply to a constituent advocating for marijuana policy change.
Madden, a Republican, also called same-sex marriage an "amenity" and suggested that those who favor who gun restrictions, equal rights for LGBTQ people, and legal use of marijuana should just move. This is a man elected to represent all people in his district, and he's telling them that he'd rather they leave the state than represent them.
Drop him a line and educate him about the responsible, legal use of marijuana: firstname.lastname@example.com
Also, let him know Wyoming is not his birthright, a la Hans Hunt. You're a representative for your district, not just Republicans. You're not a feudal lord, choosing peasants to banish. Do your job. There's already too many elected officials in Wyoming who believe this claptrap — if you have a life in Wyoming, but want to change the policies of the state, don't get involved in politics, just leave.
That's not the position of a democratic republic, and it's not a policy any government official should be comfortable endorsing — especially ones who are elected. Take five minutes and email him. Hell, tell him to move. I'm sure he can find somewhere backwards enough for his tastes with the "amenities" he seeks.
Tomorrow marks an interesting day in the state of Wyoming. Overpasses for Obama's Impeachment well [sic] be held at several different locations around the Casper area. The event begins at noon, August 2nd and begins at I-25 as an "open vehicle" (motorcycles, convertibles, jeeps, etc.) protest that will last until everyone is too tired to perform any longer.
Goddammit, Wyoming. Really? The journalism here AND the protest just kills me…
CHEYENNE, Wyo. — U.S. Senate candidate Liz Cheney and her husband were more than two months late paying property taxes on a $1.6 million home they bought last year in the tony northwest Wyoming community of Jackson Hole, according to Teton County records. The oversight arose when they misunderstood the terms of their purchase of the four-bedroom, four-bath log home with views of the Teton Range, Cheney said Wednesday.
Awesome. Maybe that's why Liz Cheney is running on "No taxes ever because reasons" as a key plank of her platform.
But this is my favorite part: "Cheney has lived most of her life outside Wyoming but traces her family roots in the state to 1907 settlers and describes herself as a fourth-generation Wyomingite."
Uh… no.

T-Mobile will never announce a release date. Now from the past history you can expect that T-Mobile will be the last of the big 4 carriers due to the extra programming and testing required due to the Wi-Fi calling that is exclusive (for now anyway) to T-Mobile and is integrated into the OS so Samsung has to extra programming before releasing it to T-Mobile for carrier testing.

TUESDAY, Aug. 17 (HealthDay News) -- A surgically implanted
antibiotic-infused sponge doesn't lower the rate of sternal wound
infections in patients who've had heart surgery, a new U.S. study
has found.
The sternum (breastbone) is cut open during heart surgery.
Previous research has suggested that infection risk can be reduced
if a sponge containing the antibiotic gentamicin is inserted when
surgeons are closing the incision. The gentamicin-collagen sponge
is approved in 54 countries, and more than 2 million of the sponges
have been used in more than 1 million people outside the United
States who underwent a wide range of procedures. (The sponge isn't
approved in the United States.) One study found that the sponge
reduced surgical site infection by 50 percent in cardiac
However, this new study by Duke University Medical Center
researchers found that the sponge doesn't reduce the risk of
sternal wound infections. The study included 1,502 heart surgery
patients enrolled at 48 U.S. sites between December 2007 and March
2009. Half were randomly selected to receive two
gentamicin-collagen sponges between the sternal halves when their
surgical incision was closed, while the other half received no
There was no significant difference in the overall rates of
sternal wound infections between those in the sponge group (8.4
percent) and the control group (8.7 percent), or in rates of
superficial wound infections (6.5 percent versus 6.1 percent), deep
sternal wound infections (1.9 percent versus 2.5 percent), or
rehospitalization for sternal wound infection (3.1 percent versus
3.2 percent), according to the report in the Aug. 18 issue of the
Journal of the American Medical Association.
"These findings directly contradict the data previously available on the efficacy of this technology in wound infection prevention," Dr. Elliott Bennett-Guerrero, and colleagues concluded.

Although the Garden City girls softball team lost nine seniors to graduation last year, do not mistake that for being in a rebuilding mode. The team has a new wave of veteran players; some of them still underclassmen, according to Head Coach Melissa Reichman.
Last year's squad finished with an 11-5 record. But its season ended in the first round of the playoffs with a 9-0 loss to Wantagh. Luckily, many Lady Trojan starters will be returning.
Pitching wins championships, and Garden City baseball Head Coach Rich Smith is confident that his team has enough of it to make a run in 2014. He is not deterred by losing 11 seniors, many of which contributed to the team's 15-7 season. Smith, in his 42nd year with the program, has seen almost everything on the baseball field, but noted that this team is unique in one way.
"On paper we have three lefties in the starting rotation," said Smith. "And that's something I've never had here," he added. The trio of southpaws could prove to be nightmarish on the conference, even after its new alignment.
Spring Roller Hockey Divisions
The start of spring roller hockey is just around the corner. Whether you played in the past or looking to get involved, there is no better time to sign up and experience all the fun. All programs take place at the roller rink located at Community Park.
Registration and starting dates will be announced at a later time but you can see when your child will play by checking the divisions below:
Please pay careful attention as grades and dates/times have changed.
Garden City Middle School's boys volleyball team swept Friends Academy, 5-0, in a decidedly lopsided matchup. Despite a near-rally that had them ahead in part of the third game, the Locust Valley players could not overcome Garden City's skills and preparation. The team and its coach were all smiles after the game. Players include: Jack Dignam, Ryan Ferro, Ryan George, Jack Kenney, Ryan Murasca, Chris Mercadante, Steven Morales, Colby Nolan, John O'Hare, Tommy Pallai, Kyle Pletchr, Luca Saponieri, Matt Sauchelli, Paul Sekas and Ryan Trabold.
Middle School Recreation Nights Announced
The Garden City Recreation Department is sponsoring Middle School Recreation Nights on the following dates at St. Paul's Field House: Friday, Feb. 28, 6th grade and Friday, March 7, All grades
These parties will be chaperoned by the Recreation staff and will run from 7 to 9 p.m. Admission is $5. A DJ will provide music and refreshments will be available for a nominal charge. The gym will be open for basketball, volleyball, dancing and other games.
Things are looking up if you were a captain for a top youth soccer team, Albertson Fury '91.
Fury captain Crystal Dunn, the 2012 Hermann Award recipient, was picked first overall by the Washington Spirit in the 2014 National Women's Soccer League Draft. The other captain on the Fury, Garden City's Emily Menges, was selected in the third round by the defending champion Portland Thorns, led by their former youth soccer coach, Paul Riley.
The Trojans of Garden City are still holding onto control of their own playoff destiny, even after a tough loss to Westbury 62-45.
"We got some good shots, we just didn't finish," said Garden City Head Coach Larry Steiner. "Westbury did a job on defense," he added. Westbury chose to play a 1-3-1 half court trap to limit the effectiveness of Garden City's strength, which is its outside shooting. The Trojans struggled to get through the trap.
The Garden City Centennial Soccer Club is looking for qualified coaches to head its new U10 teams that will tryout in June 2014. The birthdates for the children on these teams will fall between Aug. 1, 2004 and Dec. 31, 2005.
League play for these teams will begin in September 2014. Anyone interested in these positions would need to be available to run practices in the summer, begin with tournaments in August, be able to attend practices/games at least two times a week during the school year and be able to commit themselves and their teams for several tournaments during the year. A good candidate for this position will have good knowledge of all aspects of soccer and must be able to share the love of the game with elementary school-aged children. The commitment is great but the rewards are greater.
The Garden City Bombers 10U travel baseball team recently announced tryouts for 2014 Baseball Season. The Bombers play a high level of play versus other competitive travel teams from throughout the New York and Long Island metro area. All homes games are in Garden City; while preference is given to Garden City residents, boys from surrounding communities, such as Hempstead and Roosevelt are also welcome, and this diversity supports a very good team.
The spring season includes games every weekend, and tournaments during the weekends of Memorial Day, Father's Day, and Independence Day. The summer season, which runs until mid-August, generally includes weekend and weeknight play. There are also special games planned at the original Yankee Stadium, and on the new baseball field at Governors Island. The team also plays a fall season, and has extensive indoor training during winter months.
To be eligible, a player should be 10 years old by April 30, 2014.
Interested parents can inquire at 516-637-8644.
Family Fun Time On Sundays
On Sunday afternoons beginning Jan. 12, St. Paul's Field House will be open for Family Fun Time for village families. This open time provides the opportunity for families to enjoy various gym activities in an indoor environment. The gym will be available for use from 3 to 5:45 p.m. each Sunday until March 9.
This time is designated for family time only. No organized practices or workouts will be allowed. Although there will be staff to monitor activity, this is not a drop off program. Elementary-aged children are asked to be accompanied by an adult. For the safety of users, no lacrosse or baseball will be allowed.

In Derry, storm is big, but timing is not bad
In Derry, the public works department is closely monitoring the storm predicted for Friday and Saturday.
"Crews will be preparing for the upcoming storm by checking their equipment and taking care of last minute details," said public works director Mike Fowler. "We expect that a full complement of DPW drivers and contracted equipment will be responding to the storm."
Fowler said he hopes that snow will be the major problem associated with the storm, as heavy winds could complicate the town's efforts if roads are blocked or power is out.
"The start of the storm will be critical, as it relates to the Friday (afternoon) commute," said Fowler. "The heavier snow accumulations are predicted to start later Friday evening into early Saturday morning. Our crews will likely be combating this storm most of the day Saturday until the storm dissipates."
He said the good news is that an overnight weekend storm gives crews the chance to clear the roads without dealing with weekday commuters, giving them the opportunity to be ready for Monday's commute and possible school openings.
"We would remind our residents to obey the overnight parking ban, which prohibits vehicles from parking on town roads between midnight and 6 a.m.," said Fowler. "Also, residents and businesses are reminded that it is illegal to deposit their snow in a public right-of-way. These measures will aid in our efforts to expediently clean the streets over the next few days."
During the first major snowfall of the season just after Christmas, there were some issues raised by Councilor Brian Chirichiello about snow removal on local sidewalks.
Town administrator John Anderson noted that crews were using new sidewalk snow removal equipment, but that he would address the issue.
At a town council meeting earlier this week, Chirichiello praised improved town cleanup efforts during more recent storms.
