Chicken and Rice
this one is a personal favorite of mine as my mom and my dad both make drastically diffrent versions of this and love both equally(the recipes and my parents). It's a simple dish that can be made for about 7-10 bucks and can yeild 5-6 servings. I've mixed both their recipes to make my own version which isnt half bad, but like all cooking you do will never be as good as when your mom makes it.
What you'll need:
1-2lbs of chicken (preferably drumsticks)
stalk of celery
2 carrots
1 white onion
2 Bullion Cube
2 packs of saffron rice
5 cups of water
Heres what you do:
1. I start by cutting my veggies. your gonna want to dice your onions,celery and peel and dice your carrots. I go with a smaller cut on the onions so that it can melt a little in the pot.
2. Get that water boiling! i do 5 cups to compensate for the evaporation. your water is gonna be used for both the chicken and the rice as you'll see so i put a little bit more water in there for that reason.
3.Once the water is boiling dump your chicken in the pot and let it cook for 12-18 minutes. check the chicken by poking it with a fork. i take the fattest piece out and poke ti with a fork if i see blood its not ready yet.
4.once the bird pieces cook take them out and strip them with a fork. i suggested drumsticks being they are the esiest to strip from the bone. grab the leg and using a fork shred the meat off the bone. you can leave a little in there cause those bones are getting thrown back in the pot for flavoring. cover your stripped chicken (Oo la lal) and toss in the veggies and the bouillon cube.
5. Give the veggies and the cube about 3-4 minutes to themselves with the bones in the pot and grab your rice.
6. Saffron rice can be found in any grocery store. its usually for under a dollar a pack and each pack is about 1 cup of rice. I go with 2 cause of the amount of chicken and im usually feeding 2-3 people. dump the rice in and place a lid or large dish on top of the pot and cook on a low heat.
7.DO NOT LIFT THE LID EVERY 2-3 MINUTES. rice is a private grain. it needs time and paitence to cook. i check at about the 10 minute mark and give it a stir and a taste check. i like my rice a little firm but if you like mushy go for it.
8. once the rice and such is cooked. yank out the bones and place in your chicken shreds. stir and serve.
You can add other veggies to this as well sometimes i use peas and brocoli but find my little one isnt a fan of the green thigns (kids right). Well enjoy and as always happy travels and happy eats
What did we learn?
This whole traveling and blogging thign is super new to me. i mean i travel plenty but updating it and reporting on it…it's a new task that im wrapping my head around. anyway traveling as with most thigns in life is a trial and error process. the more you travel the more stuff you learn and even after you travel alot you still never quite get it. anyway heres some stuff i'd like to pass on to you guys out there trying to do some traveling that ive picked up over the years. If you have anythign you'd like to add feel free to comment and put your two cents in.
1. If driving by car always make sure your car is travel ready: this means getting the car a lil tune up, checking the tires, making sure you have a jack in the trunk. you wanna be spontaneous go ahead! but if your plannign a big trip somewhere you've never been before id suggest making sure your car is up to the task.
2.Water: this came in handy on the louisville trip as we spent a good amount of time on foot and it was hot as balls. water is cheap and easy to carry so you really dont have any excuse for not carrying it. your made of water so it cant hurt to carry an extra 16 oz. of the clear stuff.
3.Cash: I'm not saying run to the atm and yank out 500 bucks and stuff it i your sock, but it helps to carry some looose cash. I generally go with 5 ones, a five and a 10 dollar bill. change is a pain in the ass and i generally dont like to carry it but if you must id go with 2 dollars in quarters. this comes in handy for parking, street vendors and im a fan of giving the homeless and street musicians a dollar or two.
4.GPS is not to be trusted: i always look at the gps as a gas station attendant. in that if you ask it for direction it has a general idea where your going but not exactly. people tend to get dumber when they turn it on so always keep that in the back of your mind that its a machine program by people to help people…not some all knowing device that can answer life's greatest questions
5.Things will never go according to plan: I cant tell you how many times ive planned out a vacatio or small trip to see friends and had all the plans fall through. the key is to just go with the flow. if you didnt make ti to where u wanted to go dont stress. you cna always go another time and you shouldn't let a scheldue dictate your travels (unless its business)
6. Network: I've been alot of places and you'd be surprised what networkign can do for ya. thanks to social networking and them internets its easy to make a contact in a new city. Alot of my traveling is based on contacts. it gives you a permanet scout in the city keeping you updated on cool thigns happening and when u visit it gives you a sort of sherpa to help you find your way. i generally couch surf as it saves me cash on hotels. most of my contacts ive emt through mutual friends or drinks at a bar. i cigarette and a brew will get you alot in traveling so always keep a little extra aside to buy someone a drink. not only is it good karma but it could pay off in the long run.
*by NO MEANS am i tellign you to go home with them! simply grab a facebook invite and catch up from time to time till you feel comfortable with the person. even if you dont crash on their couch you still gain valuable intel that websites and books wont give ya
well its late and i just wanted to get something written down. also i apologize for the sloppy writing. chances are it wont improve and spellign errors will be a plenty. happy travels and happy eats peoople
some great bluegrass
these guys were amazing. seen them playig across from the resturaunt gave them 5 bucks and they played batman soggy bottom boys and east bound and out
they had a great fruit market! we tried something called a dinosaur egg which is apparentally a gentectically egineered fruit its 1/2 apricot/plum and its sweet as fuck
tasty tacos in louisville
these tacos were fucking amazing! only disappointing thing was that i only had one.
Louisville what a city
Up until today i was never super fond of living and being in Kentucky i didn't see what the city had to offered and today it didn't disappoint. What started as a trip to an art gallery and a hookah lounge evolved into a full on adventure. On our way to the 21c art gallery at the museum hotel we notice that the city was in an uproar. There was a gentleman handing out flyer's for the Louisville World Festival. We couldn't pass up something that sounded that awesome and was also free.
The Louisville World festival or Worldfest is a festival celebrating the many cultures and food available in the city. as a travel/food blogger i couldn't pass this up. We were treated to a bazaar of trinkets and food from cultures ranging from African culture to the Jewish community. I enjoyed the gyrations of belly dancers and the was amazed (and slightly turned on) by the amazing skill and beauty of the fire dancers. i had my first pineapple drink in a real fucking pineapple and had taco carnitas so moist and tender that you'd mistake it for chicken. WE talked with an array of colorful and intresting people from all walks of life and different cultures and can say that it was an enlightening experience.
But it wasnt all food and dancing..we of course had some international booze. I enjoyed a kirin ichi (may have spelled that wrong) a japanese beer that reminded me a bit of a corona and Shonda (my lovely camera-lady) had a St. Paul's a beer out of the northwest which had a very nutty taste.
We attempted to fullfill our promise to ourselves to visit the 21c art gallery only to learn we may have come underdressed lol. covered in sweat and making our way to the museum we are greeted by a well dressed gentleman who looked confused as to why two sweaty beer smelling adults were wandering into a place that litterally pissed excellence. We got our share of stares and took the hint. traveling isnt about being looked down upon its about looking out and foward tot he horizion. we made our leave and headed to Cafe 360.
Cafe 360 located on Bardstown Rd. is where the common man goes to drink. where hipsters and hobos line the street each holding their respect drinks of choice in hand while enjoying the many sounds and flavors the road has to offer. The cafe itself is amazing to look upon. local artists have canvas the walls with a plethora of art maing the place feel hip and welcoming. upon entering why find a seat and sit enjoy the sounds of a kitchen hard at work pushing out amazing food and bartenders and hookah tenders dashing back in forth between tables entertaing guest and regulars alike. We had the 360 club and the apple hookah. the 360 club was delicious. aside from the sourdough ripping the out of my mouth i couldnt stop myself from enjoying it. the 360 club is your standard club made with fresh cut ham turkey and delightfully crispy bacon served on a sourdough with a side of seasons fries. The hookah wouldnt coroperate with us and was sub bar but i hardly hold the place at fault for the hookah's malfunctions. Overall i give the place an A-. amazzing atmosphere, great location, awesome food and awesome service….only dowbfall being the hookah and soem rowdy gentleman at the next table over.
We finished the night listenign and smoking with some bluegrass bands playing on the street. they took requests and played everythign from nirvana to soggy bottom boys. I learned that the street bands were from the music stores that litter bardstown road and was even more impressed and jealous that these guys worked in amazing locations and played music right on the street after closing up shop.
Overall i suggest Louisville to anyone traveling. The city will welcome you with open arms and hand you a beer. which is what i want and expect now every time i visit "the Ville". 11 days from now i will be heading to the Kentucky bourbon festival to drink my heart away and enjoy even more of what the bluegrass state has to offer. Til next time happy travels and good eats.
If you are in the area check out the worldfest in Louisville food and booze from around the world

text: DULUTH, MN (KDAL) - A two mile section of Highway 210 through Jay Cooke State Park that was washed out in the flood of 2012 will be rebuilt according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Work on that portion of the road will begin next summer and could be completed by late 2016. The road has been closed since the flood but a series of meetings and surveys showed the vast majority of the public wanted to see it rebuilt. Emergency funds from the federal and state governments will pay for the project.

Chicken Killer down.....
1 Attachment(s)
My son has been asking me to shoot a red fox every time I go hunting b/c one killed some of our chickens in the summer. Everytime he hears a noise at night, thinks a fox is trying to come in and get him.
Sat was the last day of PA buck - gun, so I brought my fox call (Kettle Creek Calls) and decided to sound it off. I must have hit the right note b/c this red came flying in. I was more excited to bring this red home to show my son than if I shot a big buck.....
Now the red is down, maybe I can get the buck in late season archery.....
Congrats! Good shootin, those little guys don't stop movin for nothing it seems. It's got a nice thick winter coat.
good shootin bud!
Used to have one of those critters checking out my bird/chipmunk feeder. It was hit by a car. Now, the chipmunks have had a population explosion!
Nice fox, it would make a nice pelt.

We'll return to regular programming shortly. For now, I urge everyone to say a prayer for the thousands and thousands of people in Georgia and elsewhere who lost their homes, their businesses, much of their towns and in some cases their loved ones in the terrible storms yesterday and last night.
If you're looking for a place to start helping, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency has a clearinghouse for donations as well as links to other states' portals and private charity/volunteer websites.
The photos from Ringgold and Rome, from Bartow County, from Griffin, from Madison, from Tuscaloosa, Ala., and elsewhere across the South are heart-breaking.
If you escaped unscathed, please be thankful — and willing to lend a hand to those who didn't.

If God really exists then He must have chosen to do nothing when all this destruction was happening. So, what makes you think saying a prayer will do any good?
April 28th, 2011
12:52 pm
Yessir. And if I could just take this opportunity to ask a favor of men who lost property to the storm. Before you go out there and get in front of the press photographer or you give an interview to the TV station, please, oh please, put your shirt on, and preferably something more than a white wife-beater t-shirt.

heathen- what if they don't have a shirt to put on? Their clothes might be 3 counties away for all they know.
carlos- if you don't believe that'sd fine, but why attack people who do? Seems to go against that whole "tolerance" thing atheists like to preach. Pun intended.

Several years back there was a pretty bad tornado here. A local business was leveled and fortunately no one was at the business, although the storm did cause several fatalities. The cash register, from the business, was found over 50 miles away in North Carolina.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all those who were hit by these storms. There but for the Grace of God, go I.

Metro Coach – I asked a sensible logical question and you responded with knee-jerk true believer dogma, just as I knew you would. And, I am not an atheist, I am an agnostic.
Hillbilly Deluxe – So you think God decided to give you grace but decided not to give any to those storm victims. Do you have any idea how self-serving and arrogant that makes you sound?

The world is a wicked & dangerous place to live. We suffer personal & private tragedies & great global catastrophies. Christians believe that the only perfect place is Heaven. Life is no more than a test.
The main reason for prayer is to thank God, not to ask for favors. The second reason for prayer is to pray for each other. We trust God to know what is best.
Weather caused destruction yesterday. It is part of the natural cycle of our planet. It was here before we were. The sun rises & sets & the rain pours down on all of us, whether we have been good or bad.
After a personal tradegy in my family, I remember telling my mother that had this not happened, we might not have ever known how so many people loved us so much in so many ways.
Just like God creates rainbows at the end of a storm, this will be a great opportunity for us to show acts of kindness to those who have suffered.

Residents and City of Saskatoon crews are cleaning up after a sudden downpour overwhelmed the city's sewer system.
The quick but powerful deluge took place around 6 p.m. Monday, resulting in overflowing drains, sewer covers popped off and minor flooding on streets.
The city called in extra crews to help with the displaced sewer covers.
The City of Saskatoon noted Tuesday that the rain storm will not impact drinking water in the city.
The storm water and drinking water systems "are two totally different sets of pipes," and are not connected.
David Baggaley, a meteorologist with Environment Canada, said it was hard to say how much rain fell during the deluge. One weather station northwest of the city collected 22 millimetres of precipitation, and the airport station collected 11 mm, he said.
"The trouble with thunderstorms is that their swath of precipitation can be very narrow," Baggaley said.
There was one report of a possible funnel cloud near Watrous, he said, and nickel-to-loonie sized hail near Broadview and Estevan on Monday.
The public can report any flooding concerns to the city at (306) 975-2476.

I suspect that if you're the kind of raider who is in the kind of guild where your raid leader would seriously ask you to switch races, then you're the kind of raider who has already done the research about your optimal racials and are already planning to switch races as soon as the option becomes available (and you have the cash). Most people don't raid like that. Somehow I also see this more as something that avid PvP'ers will take advantage of.

Parking lot maintenance is taking top billing in retail, as a growing number of facilities managers realize that extending the life cycle of an existing parking lot paves the way toward reduced expense in the long run.
Chain Store Age talked with Rose Paving's C.B. Kuzlik about retail's renewed focus on maintenance in today's cost-conscious climate.
What role does weather play in parking lot management?
Winter is fast approaching — is your facility ready? Statistically speaking nearly 80% of all slip and falls are due to snow and ice, and they occur mainly in parking lots and sidewalks. As an expert witness and consultant in the field of risk and liability due to snow and ice, I see incidences that could have been avoided had the facility performed a pre-season property assessment.
Parking lots serve as the first point of entry for customers and, as such, are an important brand touchpoint. Chain Store Age spoke with Dan Flaherty, national accounts executive, Ultimat/Crius Corp., about how retailers can maintain a positive first impression without breaking the budget.
What, if any, impact does a badly maintained retail property have on customers? Can it affect business?
Rose Paving Co. has completed a major parking lot enhancement program at 7-Eleven locations in the northeastern United States.
Bridgeview, Ill. -- Rose Paving Co. has completed a major parking lot enhancement program at 7-Eleven locations in the northeastern United States. The project, which involved 970,463 sq. ft. of space, spanned the course of five weeks. Work ranged from two-inch mill and overlay to full parking lot reconstruction at more than 75 7-Eleven stores in Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia -- all while stores remained open.
Parking lots have typically not been associated with green and energy-efficient design and building practices. But according to some experts, that's beginning to change.
"Extensive changes are being made to reduce the carbon footprint of surface parking lots," said Matt Jobin, AIA, project manager, Rich and Associates, Southfield, Mich., the oldest firm in North America dedicated solely to parking design and planning.

Optimal strategies for a replacement model
Bruns, P.B. (2000) Optimal strategies for a replacement model. [Report]
We examine a replacement system with discrete-time Markovian deterioration and finite state space . State 0 stands for a new system, and the higher the state the worse the system; a system in state is considered to be in a . We impose the condition that the fraction of replacements in state should not be larger than some fixed number. We prove that a generalized control limit policy maximizes the expected time between two successive replacements and we explain explicitly how to derive this optimal policy. Some numerical examples are given.

I have had myself, my wife, my daughter, my parents, and my sister genotyped by 23andme.
From time to time, I explore my personal and family data on my other blog. If you are interested, you can read about it under the Genetics category there.
My latest post is about figuring out how my inbred genome has passed on to my daughter.
It has been one year for the Harappa Ancestry Project. I announced it on January 17, 2011 and then moved it to its own domain on January 19.
It started out fast and furious with participants sending their data every day and I was blogging it multiple times a day. Now it has slowed down quite a bit with only one South Asian unrelated participant (not counting any Romany) in the last 2 months.
Speaking of participants, there have been a couple of complaints.
The decision to include non-South Asian participants from countries that do not neighbour the Subcontinent contradicts the Harappa Project's original inclusion criterion.
I concur with DMXX. While I'm certainly not anyone to tell Zack how to run his own show, I think the project is losing it's original focus. Accepting folks from West-Asia was also fine, given that South-Asians derive a lot of ancient ancestry from the area and thus may be deemed a secondary focus area. The same could also be said for those with partial Roma Gypsy ancestry. But, some of the runs seem to be almost entirely dominated by non-South Asian participants, who have absolutely no connection with the subcontinent. I can't help but ask on what basis these Brazilian, Belizean, Mexican, Hispanic, Somali, African-American and European participants were accepted into the project.
My approach has been to make it clear to any potential participants that my focus is on South Asia. Thus any Admixture components I have computed have been with a heavily South Asian dataset. Also, a number of PCA and clustering analyses that I do are at times limited to South Asians etc. On the other hand, I have accepted any participant who has asked to be included. I run a basic Admixture run for everyone which is a fairly automated process and sometimes include them in other analyses.
Let me illustrate with an example. I am working on a new Admixture calculator. For computing the components, I am using all the South Asian project participants in addition to reference datasets. I am going to select the data for that in such a way that we get Admixture components which gives us a better idea of South Asian genetic ancestry.
While participation in the project has slowed down, the research on South Asian genetics has picked up. We had the Metspalu et al paper and dataset. Also. 1000genomes is expected to release 400 South Asian samples (100 Lahori Punjabis, 100 Bangladeshis, 100 Sri Lankan Tamil and 100 Indian Telegu) over the summer.
I released my 23andme raw data last year. Since I had my parents also genotyped, I am now releasing my phased genome.
I haven't done anything with it yet. So if you have any ideas of what use I can put it to, chime in.
Hope y'all have a great 2012! And that we see another fruitful year for personal genetics.
I have been away over the holidays driving around the country and am just getting back to try to catch up with my email. I owe several people IDs which I'll send out by tomorrow.
23andme is having another sale till December 31: $23 off per kit (from $99 up front). The code to take advantage of the sale price is TPHG6P.
UPDATE: Here is another link for a $23 discount for 23andme.
I upgraded my desktop last week.
The bad news is that I am having to upgrade from XP to Windows 7 which means reinstalling everything.
The good news is that Ubuntu ran perfectly after the upgrade.
And the best news is that with an Intel Core i7-2600 and 8GB of RAM, Admixture is running about 6 times faster.
I have released my 23andme version 3 genome into the public domain.
I challenge y'all to find anything interesting about my chromosome 9 (which is 93% homozygous).
Also, I got my parents' 23andme results last night.
I got back yesterday. Due to jetlag and things that accumulated during my absence, it'll take me a few days to get back to regular posting here.
I got about 12 data submissions during my vacation. I'll send everyone their Harappa IDs by tomorrow. If you haven't received an ID from me by Thursday morning, drop me an email to remind me.
I have 2 batches of ten to process for Admixture results. I hope to post those by the end of the week but can't make any promises.
If you sent me an email in the last month that required a response, I will try to reply soon. If you haven't heard from me by July 11, please remind me.
Thanks, Razib, for your guest blogging.

Maximum-likelihood based inference in the two-way random effects model with serially correlated time effects
AbstractThe general case where the time specific effect in a two way model follows an arbitrary ARMA process has not been considered previously. We offer a straightforward maximum likelihood estimator for this case. Allowing for general ARMA processes raises the issue of model specification and we propose tests of the null hypothesis of no serial correlation as well as tests for discriminating between different specifications. A Monte-Carlo experiment evaluates the finite-sample properties of the estimators and test-statistics. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2004

(01/08/14) - The icy roads are frustrating to drivers to say the least, and many are getting impatient. We all have to drive in bad weather from time to time, but going on five days is starting to take its toll. First it was the blowing snow, then the heavy snow, and now icy conditions. For the next few days, it may take a you some extra time to get to where you need to go. Even at slower speeds, there are still a number of cars that are stuck and sliding off the roads. When we were out Wednesday, we even saw some people who were texting while driving. One person we talked to says while he's tired with the conditions, he's even more frustrated with other drivers. "People that don't realize they're on ice. They don't pay attention. You see them sliding up to the stoplights, especially our young people. They're not experienced and so you just have to watch for them. Anybody that's been around Michigan for many years, they've experienced it all," said driver Rennie Sawabe. Here's a few tips for drivers - the key is to slow down and pay attention to those around you. It's also important to keep tools in your car such as a flash light, even a shovel, just in case you get stuck.

April 03, 2013
By Evan Lockridge
Legislation allowing heavier trucks on more non-Interstate routes in Idaho has been signed by Gov. Butch Otter.
The bill, which received approval from state lawmakers last month, will expand their presence from 35 designed routes in the southern part of the state, allows trucks weighing up to 129,000 pounds on non-freeway routes.
The measure was pushed heavily by timber interests. Opponents, including many local governments, said roads in the northern part of the state were not suited for the heavier rigs.
A decade ago Idaho's legislature approved a pilot project allowing trucks weighing up to 129,000 pounds in the southern part of the state. The weight limit on all other state non-Interstate routes is 105,000 pounds.
The legislation signed by Otter allows local highway jurisdictions, including cities and highway districts, to decide whether to allow the heavier trucks on local roads, while Idaho's Transportation Department will decide on state routes.
Otter has requested the Idaho Transportation Department hold public hearings before designating new routes.
A follow-up bill in the Idaho House, which passed the Senate on Monday, adds guarantees that local governments have the say over their roads and must hold public hearings, but it doesn't cover state routes that state transportation oversees.

If its done, not a single bug, not a single thing wrong and its ready to rock.....
I'd put the chip in and plan on the PCB FTDI lines so you can use pogo sticks and a jig to burn arduino bootloader to the chip and upload the code.
IF there is bugs port the code to another platform and sort the bugs so it is 100%. There are other platsforms that take C++ AFAIK
I was going to produce a product I prototyped on arduino. I was going to use the pogostick method and just give the chip (AVR 328) the bare bones of what it needed.
It added a bit more than other options on production cost (mainly time for the burning + code) but it would have saved me totally starting again. RRP margin would have still been there to make money.

Written by:
Glad to be back at my apartment,
I hung my coat,
Took off my shoes,
And stepped into the lounge.
I was greeted by my mother,
As I entered the room,
Her visit unexpected,
But a warm and welcome face.
Instinctively she knew my feelings,
My face gave away,
The fear within,
She wrapped her arms around me.
So warm and safe, I drift and dream,
Always glad, in mother's arms,
Gently so she lays me down,
Victim of my mother's charms.
Never could I come to harm,
Here within my cradle bed,
With mother softly singing so,
As she strokes my sleepy head.
My ever present Angel sighs,
And with such angelic grace,
She sings her simple lullaby,
And presses pillow over face.
In disbelief I pulled away,
Stared her in the eye,
Almost ran across the room,
And told my mother to leave.

By Prince Dornu-Leiku: Sena Agbeko has a dream to be a boxing world champion but the 19 year old also has the knack for books. Agbeko fights George Banson for the Ghana as well as West Africa Boxing Union (WABU) Super Middleweight belt on the October 15 Only the Strong boxing extravaganza at the Lebanon House in Accra but he is already looking beyond that fight even if he respects the opponent.
The Commonwealth title is my target after this fight. I want to be a world champion but Im giving myself 2 to 3 years because I dont want to rush anything since I just turned professional this year. I am very serious thats why Ive fought this many fights in this short period.
Banson will be very tough because he is very strong and has more experience. When he started boxing I hadnt even dreamt of it but I also have speed so I will counter his strength with my speed, Sena (7-0, 7 KOs) told the Ghanaian newspaper ALL SPORTS in impeccable English.
That should be no surprise because Sena is currently studying for a degree in Communication Studies at the Ghana Institute of Journalism, very rare for a Ghanaian boxer. He however maintains that the sport will rule over the book, at least for the next decade.
He told ALL SPORTS: Media and Public Relations is something that Ive always had the passion for after boxing. So immediately I retire from boxing then I will take it up full time, but until then I am fighting for the next ten years.
I think age 29 will be perfect for me to retire from boxing, Sena disclosed.

On April 2nd, Steve Earle will add one more album to his already impressive collection. The Low Highway will be released by New West Records and was produced by Ray Kennedy and Earle himself. The album is a must-listen for any fan of country, rock, the blues, or anyone who appreciates the art of storytelling through music.
Earle first entered the country music scene with his 1986 debut, Guitar Town, which he wrote after moving from Texas to Nashville, Tennessee. In the twenty-seven years since, he has won multiple Grammys, collaborated with a remarkable list of artists, and released thirteen studio albums, including Copperhead Road, The Hard Way, and I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive. Earle's talents include more than composing and performing: in May of 2012, he released his first novel, also titled I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive, which received high praise from reviewers.
The Low Highway opens with a song of the same name, a simple tune that features a guitar, a few string instruments, and Earle's voice. He sings with a raspy growl that echoes with experience and emotion, like an old cowboy who has seen it all. His lyrics evoke images of the American landscape: "Travelin' out on a low highway/three-thousand miles to the Frisco Bay/crossing rivers wild and lonesome plains/up the coast and down and back again." He sings of houses on dead-end streets, lines of people outside restaurants, and broken factory windows. He contrasts the imagery of a desperate, decaying society with the beauty of the American landscape. It's a poignant note on which to start the album, setting a tone of community pride mixed with personal reflection.
"Burnin' it Down" is another slow track, a melancholy ode to Earle's memories of his younger self. He romanticizes his middle-class past and at the same time wants to let it go. He sings, "Thinking 'bout burnin' it down/love ain't never going to be the same in this town." Earle is almost like a country version of Bruce Springsteen. He is an American everyman. He has a true love of honest hard work and what it can do for you, but he's also noticed some flaws in the system that occasionally sadden his rock-n-roll attitude.
That rock attitude certainly has a presence on the album. "Calico Country" features an electric guitar solo and catchy hook. It is likely to be a crowd favorite during Earle's next tour. The song highlights Earle's skill in storytelling. He paints a picture of some run-down town and broken but hardy family, with lines like "Momma never told me why Daddy didn't live with us" and "My little brother Bobby stole a Coca Cola Truck/drove it through the cemetery/Bobby doesn't give a fuck." There may be some element of truth behind Earle's description of working class life in the south, but here Earle sounds like he's just having a good time. "21st Century Blues" is another opportunity for Earle to rock out. There is some commentary about American entitlement versus economic reality, but there are also a good deal of tongue-in-cheek lyrics. "Where the hell is my flying car?" Earle sings, "Ain't nothing like a tele-transporter so far."
Other notable songs off The Low Highway include "Pocket Full of Rain" and "After Mardi Gras," which both have a strong blues influence. "Warren Hellman's Banjo" is an impressive blue-grass track that gives Earle a chance to show off his versatility, talent, and ability to make any genre accessible to his listener.
Despite Earle's rough-around-the-edges persona, his music and lyrics are incredibly moving. Even if you didn't grow up in the south with a pickup truck, The Low Highway will take you to Earle's world and make you want to explore.

About the Author
Roger Price and Leonard Stern created Mad Libs in the 1950s and the series has been a favorite among kids of all ages ever since. Although Roger Price passed away in 1990, Leonard Stern keeps the tradition alive by writing new Mad Libs all the time.
Roger Price and Leonard Stern are both well known for their comedy writing. In the 1950s Roger Price created and developed cartoons called Droodles, which were turned into a television show. Before that Price worked with Bob Hope on a newspaper humor column, and he even appeared on Broadway in Tickets, Please!
Leonard Stern has an equally colorful and varied history. Before co-founding Price Stern Sloan with Roger Price (Sloan came later), Stern was a successful television writer. In addition to his creative involvement with over twenty television series and over ten motion pictures, Stern worked with Jackie Gleason in New York writing the Honeymooners. He also wrote for the Phil Silvers Show, The Steve Allen Show, and wrote and produced the original Get Smart television series. Recently, Stern published A Martian Wouldn't Say That, which compiled weird and wacky memos written by people in the entertainment industry. Currently, Stern serves as a senior vice president of Price Stern Sloan, where he still writes those hilarious Mad Libs.

Middleweight great BERNARD "The Executioner" HOPKINS will visit the future campus site of Florida's first public residential boarding school on Tuesday, April 14, 2009 at 2:00 pm. The location is 22025 SW 87th Ave, Miami, Florida, 33190.The press is invited for private tours, one-one-one interviews, and photo opportunities. This groundbreaking NEW high school will provide boys facing troubled lives with an option of either a rigorous college-bound academic track or a job-ready track.. Students will gain admissions to the revolutionary school phenomenon based on criteria targeting them at the highest risk for dropping out or engaging in criminal behaviors. Hopkins will speak to a group of young men currently in trouble, headed to a life of crime. He will become this breakthrough school's celebrity spokesperson and mentor - and rightfully so.
Hopkins turned to crime early in his life. By the age of thirteen he was mugging people and had been stabbed three times. At seventeen, Hopkins was sentenced to 18 years in Graterford Prison for nine felonies. While in prison he witnessed rapes and the murder of another inmate in an argument over a pack of cigarettes. It was in prison that he discovered his passion for boxing. After serving almost five years, Hopkins was released from prison and decided to use boxing as an escape from his previous life. While leaving the prison for the final time, the warden told Hopkins that he'll "see [Hopkins] again when you wind up back here," to which Hopkins replied "I ain't ever coming back here."
The story of Bernard Hopkins is a great one that he loves retelling - the street hood hooked on a life of crime, sent to prison aged 17, emerged a changed man, who became one of the greatest boxers of his era. Today, Hopkins is best known for his ten year reign as Middleweight World Champion. His support of this new school stems from the consensus that too many troubled teens become the product of a failing juvenile justice system, which is forced to treat youth offenders more like criminals, rather than students with potential who simply need help. Too many kids who go through the juvenile justice system later end up in prison repeatedly.
Bernard Hopkins took responsibility for his life but suffered serious CONSEQUENCES. He wants to help make sure others don'tmake the same mistakes by offering them a chance to succeed, despite the disadvantages they face.
To lend further support, Bernard will walk the red carpet and be a celebrity guest at Lea and Roy Blacks' Annual Gala on Saturday, April 18, 2009 at the Eden Rock Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida starting at 7 pm. Miami's most famous gala supports operations for both Bay Point Schools and a brand new foundation formed by Engin Yesil and Lea Black called The Consequences Foundation. The foundation is developing The Consequences Program - a proactive intervention curriculum designed to redirect troubled teens before they find themselves in trouble. Consequences will become an integral and important part of the new prep school's curriculum. Hopkins will become the Consequences Program's first celebrity spokesperson andwill be active in the programming development of the new high school.
Statistically, juveniles commit one in eight crimes. By removing youth from their crime-ridden environments and helping them focus on academics, sports and achievable goals, this program will aim to decrease the present dropout rate of 34.2% in Miami-Dade County alone. This new concept high school is designed to become a model across the country and the first of its kind. "We have a vision of bringing the federal and state government, public school systems, foundations and adolescent psychology and education experts in harmony to create a school on par with some of the nations finest," says Gio Greeley, the school's director of development and programming. Focusing on education, sports, student government and therapy will become the alternative to entering a corrections system infested with career criminal and prisoner training.

Waterloo Region World Champion Boxer Marks 10th Anniversary of Victory!
Waterloo Region, ON, April 8, 2009 It was ten years ago, on April 14th, 1999, that Kitcheners 31-year-old Fitz The Whip Vanderpool was standing in the ring at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto, being crowned the WBF Super Welterweight World Champion. He had just beaten Stephan Johnson to claim the vacant belt. It was a victory that had me behind on all the scorecards and the only way to win was by a knockout. I achieved the impossible and won by a knock out! My four brothers and I all dreamt of becoming a world champion - and I was the one who finally did it. It is the greatest feeling hearing your name called out as a world champion. Fitz went on to successfully defend his WBF World Championship twice. It was one of five belts he had won.
This victory was the culmination of a meteoric career. On April 6th 1996 Fitz Vanderpool was Crowned Canadian Welterweight Champion - the first Professional Boxing Title for Kitchener in over 50 years. In 1997 Fitz won the W.B.F. Inter Continental Title and then took the W.B.C. Fecarbox Welterweight Title as well. The Whip held 3 Championship titles simultaneously. Unable to defend them all at the same time, he relinquished two of the titles and held on to the Canadian Title - holding it for over 3 years, becoming one of Canada's most successful boxers.
He didnt do it completely alone. He remembers, with a catch in this throat, a man he calls Papa Joe - Joseph Hajnal Sr. - his amateur and pro boxing coach and trainer. He believed in me and inspired me. He helped me to see my vision in the darkness and to keep my dream alive.
Fitz also took time to use his fame in positive ways for the community. In 1996 he was officially proclaimed an International Fire Safety Ambassador. In 1998 Fitz joined the board of directors of the International Fire Safety Ambassadors. And in 1999 Fitz was voted Kitchener Waterloo Civitans first ever Athlete of the Year.
Today, Fitz Vanderpool still has boxing in his blood. He owns and runs the Whip Boxing Academy, teaches boxing in high schools, trains up-and-coming young boxers, and gives as much back to his community as he is able. I have accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish in my boxing career. Boxing is a sport that teaches discipline, self confidence, and respect. My goal now is to show youngsters that they can be successful if they work hard and believe in themselves. He trains top athletes such as Mixed Martial Arts combatants and hockey players. He offers specialized FitBox for those who want to be in fighting shape, but dont want to step into the ring, and also offers one-on-one personal training. He even has his own special brand of boxing gear - Whip Gear. Fitz The Whip Vanderpool is also available for speaking engagements on variety of topics.
A special dinner to celebrate Fitz The Whip Vanderpools historic victory will take place in June.

A Minnetonka man has been charged with threatening to kill his neighbor.
Thomas Patrick Dousette, 45, is charged with making terroristic threats, a felony with a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
According to the criminal complaint, a woman called police Aug. 27 and said Dousette, who lives across the hall from her apartment, had assaulted her.
The woman said she had been helping Dousette when he attacked her, biting her neck, throwing her to the ground and strangling her. The victim said Dousette told her, "You know, I could kill you."
The victim said she had trouble breathing while Dousette's hands were around her neck and that he called her a "cow" and more profane names while he was strangling her. She said he threatened to kill her.
The woman said she was able to fight off Dousette, get to her feet and flee his apartment, but as she left, she heard him yell, "You come across me again and I'm going to kill you," she told police. She said Dousette threw something at her that hit the wall near the door as she escaped.
Police noted that the victim had what appeared to be bite marks on her neck, along with other injuries.
Dousette's criminal history includes a 2001 conviction on three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, classified as a serious felony. He served a year in prison, with the remainder of his prison sentence stayed for 25 years, and was also placed on 25 years of probation.
Dousette has been released from custody on a $30,000 bond. An omnibus hearing in his case is scheduled Oct. 11 in Hennepin County District Court.

VERO BEACH -- In a series of votes during the March 5 county commission meeting, commissioners tried to keep negotiations with the operators of Vero Beach Sports Village alive, but the results left neither party very excited.
Commissioners Wesley Davis and Peter O'Bryan made the motions that led to commissioners agreeing to remove a liquidated-damages fee from a proposed renewal contract with Verotown LLC, a group of funding partners that include former sole sports facility lease, Minor League Baseball, and former Los Angeles Dodgers owner, Peter O'Malley.
The 4-1 vote granted Verotown the right to exit the proposed lease renewal before the end of the 5-year term without a $300,000 penalty, which was one of the bumps in the negotiation proceedings.
The current lease with Verotown expires next year and the organization has given notice that it will not pursue its lease renewal option due to dissatisfaction in lease negotiations.
Craig Callan, vice president of Vero Beach Sports Village, said Verotown also wanted the county to pay annual insurance on the property at the tune of $80,000 per year and continue to pay an annual amount for repairs and replacement costs at the facility.
He also said he doesn't see the negotiations as a lease renewal or a renegotiated lease, but rather, he's interested in putting together a new lease.
County attorney Alan Polackwich voiced some concern about the negotiations being for a new lease because by law, a new lease would have to go out and a general request for proposals for the management and operation of the facility would have to be done.
Commissioners voted against insuring the property.
Verotown negotiators were also seeking annual repairs and replacement funding of $250,000 for five years with the stipulation that the county pay for the renovation of the hotel rooms on property, a rough estimate of about $600,000.
Commissioners eventually voted 4-1 to pay into the repair and replacement fund $150,000 annually and also have Verotown pay $50,000 annually to that fund.
They also voted 4-1 to spend $600,000 on renovating the hotel rooms if Verotown is going to stick around for another five years. A portion of that funding would come from the original $2 million capital fund, of which about $400,000 is remaining.

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
By Robin Jedlicka - bio | email COOK COUNTY, GA (WALB) - Georgia's state parks are offering a variety of new experiences to keep visitors coming. Though the parks have been hit with state-wide budget cuts, they're utilizing their natural resources to offer new adventures.
At Reed Bingham State Park, visitors are already buzzing about the newest opportunity: The Paddlers' Club.
Jack White, a frequent visitor to Reed Bingham, says, "It's just a quiet time to enjoy the tranquility of nature and the chance to see wildlife."
To earn membership in the Paddlers' Club, one must complete six water trails at six different state parks. Reed Bingham boasts the longest canoe trail of 4.5 miles.
Reed Bingham's course through the Little River offers paddlers the opportunity to view wildlife up close. Alligators, waterfowl, turtles, and otters are frequently spotted.
Upon completing the six courses, members earn an exclusive t-shirt and, of course, bragging rights.
Jennifer Glover, Interpretive Ranger at Reed Bingham, says, "It's really safe, it's fun, and most of the time, kids and parents alike enjoy it."
Paddlers' Club is open to oarsmen of all skill levels. "You can make it tough if you want to paddle in a really direct time, but I float and paddle and just take my time. It's delightful," explains Whit.
Rangers at Reed Bingham hope the club will spark new interest. "Hopefully, with us being on a list for Paddlers' Club parks, we'll be able to encourage people to come out and bring in more revenue since we're in such a crunch right now," Glover says.
After completing each course, paddlers will receive a punch on their card. The other five paddling trails are located at Crooked River, George Smith, Stephen Foster, and Sweet Water Creek Parks.
From the animals, to the adventure, to the idyllic scenery, it's safe to say that membership into the Paddlers' Club is well worth the tired arms.

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" from Mary Poppins
My elementary-school music teacher introduced me to "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" while we sat on the stage along risers, a heavy velvet curtain behind our backs shielding us from the rope-climbing and ball-tossing in the multipurpose room. It sounded atrocious, and I tried to spell it in my head as we all sang along (most of my fellow students were off-key, but not me, because I was a STAR), and I wondered what it meant. Superfragicaliwha? She led us through the song, while we stumbled and mumbled trying to put all those vowels and consonants together in the right order. It was definitely the biggest word I had ever heard. Superdociousexpicalafragalistic? No, that's not right. Sigh. I'm pretty sure most of us had no idea it was from the movie Mary Poppins. I know I didn't; I mostly wanted to see the word written down so I could dissect it. Superexpicalawho? Ugh. And what's this about the cat getting my tongue? Ow. Then, we got it: SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIEXPIALIDOCIOUS! SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIEXPIALIDOCIOUS! Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Supercalifragilisticexpialidociousssssss!
