Many view their social media pages as a place where they can voice their opinions and show off pieces of their lives. However, there's a fine line between being you and being annoying, especially on Facebook and Twitter, where it's harder for someone to tell your tone. Plus, those who allow bosses, co-workers or family to see their social media pages should be extra careful. The slightest misdemeanor in social media etiquette could cause some to think poorly of you, or worse, defriend you. We talked to owner of The Protocol School of Texas Diane Gottsman, Daniel Post Senning of the Emily Post Institute, social media expert Mari Smith and The Protocol School of Palm Beach etiquette associate Jorie Scholnik to get the lowdown. Avoid these online behaviors to ensure that the number of your friends and followers doesn't plummet.
You wrote: "Falling on hard times has lead to a recent and disturbing social trend of asking for help, whether it be physically, emotionally or financially."
You have misused the word: "lead" should be "led".
I now have 10 new ways to piss people off?! WOO HOO!
Apparently my on-line friends are extremely tolerant, cuz I consistently do enough of these things to be annoying. Then again, a lot of my Facebook friends are guilty as well, so maybe that has something to do with me not being de-friended by everyone I know!
I don't get it! What is the purpose of Facebook then? =P
And the NUMBER ONE UN-FRIENDABLE GAFF….run around the web passing of self egrandizing tripe telling others how to act and that expressing normal human emotions and instincts will cause their exclusion from your clubhouse branding them a social pariah. That's right play upon the basic fears all people have to one degree or another. Us fear to position yourself as "a helper". I mean talk about the height of arrogance who the heck are you to tell others how to conduct themselves among their social peers and groups? Should those groups not be self regulating? Should people who are indeed friends accept anyone for who they are not who they demand the be? I guess fair & balanced is no longer a mantra in today's media or what passes as news.
People like the author of this article are what is WRONG with this PC world…do everything in a milquetoast-esque manner, express nothing beyind banal platitudes and never, ever…ever…say anything true or real.
I mean good gawd woman, using your own measuring stick for online conduct, you are the height of moving the immature high school "Mean Girl" mob mentality to the web. Get off your cotton pony, pop a fist full of Midol plus whatever "Happy Pills" you get from your doc to render you emotionally impotent and grow the heck up.
Feel free to unfriend me…based on your article you are nobody's true friend to begin with as you consider yourself aas sitting in judgement of your fellow man for acting in a fashion which makes you uncomfortable and perhaps causes you to question your own inner demons and insecurities. Allow others the freedom to be human and lean on those who claim friendship in whatever fashion they can to express emotions and to help them feel safe in trusting those friends with those emotions. True friends listen and help each other through the rough patches and don't converse via those insincere platitudes devoid of real meaning or substance which is what you are advocating in your article. Many next time consider addressing the true issue here and encourage each of us to be more understanding and considerate of those we call friends when they are in need of our support in whatever way we can provide it. Life is too short to conduct ourselves otherwise.
Snipenekkid, you are very annoying.
Nope sorry Susan, snipenekidd is right. The author of this post is wrong. While Snipenekidd took the time explain why they felt the article was wrong all you did was personally attack him. That is annoying if you don't like what they said then try to act like a grown up and argue like they did.
Snipenekidd you are completely right.
Snipenekid, while I agree with you, you come off as preachy and bitchy, lol.
What do you mean you can't curse? Don't Facebook friend someone who can't take you being you. If you want to drop the "F-bomb," drop it. If you don't want grandma to see it, don't have your grandma as a Facebook friend!
why should anyone care what anyone from this shitty web site thinks? what is it that we're supposed to post online? pics of the burrito we're about to devour. if i don't like someone's post, i either ignore it or comment. if someone doesn't like mine they're free to do the same, or unfriend me. i don't give a sh*t.
snipenekid is right, this article and susan are tools and know nothing of being a good "friend" Its a social website and your telling people not to be social or leading people to think something is wrong for them if they done these things. Grow up and come back when your brain is fully grown if ever at all.
This just makes me want to check my facebook..
It didn't seem to me that the writer was simply listing her own personal views. She had quotes from reputable sources; a social media expert, an etiquette expert, etc. The title was Top Ten Unfriendable Mistakes. I took this to mean that these are the behaviors that are most likely to cause your friends to unfriend you. I actually have heard in conversation these very objections articulated as causes for unfriending. They are not just personal opinions & complaints of some lone battle-axe bitch. They are true. People do, indeed, unfriend & then later, tell people why they have done this. Many people other than the writer share these objections. However, had I been writing the article,I might have commented on the Top Twelve. I might have mentioned "The Editor", the one who has nothing to say about anything, their sole purpose being to point out all errors of spelling, grammar, punctuation & typos.Sometimes it seems to me that the internet is absolutely crawling with the type of anal-retentive English teachers we all hated in grade school. Another type missed : "The Abuser", someone who is there to launch a barrage of personal attacks & an avalache
of scolding That's mean & not friendly
…and these reasons are why I quit facebook. I got tired of political rants ( both left and right ) and I really got tired of the racist and sexist updates … I think people will say things on facebook that they wouldn't say otherwise because they like to provoke, and feel that facebook offers some sort of safety. Iinstead of defriending some people, I defriended everyone and left. I couldn't be happier, now if someone wants me to know something they have to email me, call me etc … the contact is friendlier and far more meaningful and it's with real honest to god friends, not the meaningless stuff you get on facebook. Let's be honest, not everyone you friend on facebook is really your friend.
I've been unfriended exactlyonce, by a guy who couldn't really answer a political question I asked in a comment on his post. He said his grossly inadequate & not well thought out piece, then quickly defriended me before I could reply. Since my politics are centrist, I normally get along with even the hardline right or left. Of course, I don't post pix of what I eat or if I have a perfect BM. lol
Wait… Please wait… The Protocol School of Texas????? My head hurts.
Facebook is a blight on Society. Most of the posts are from self centereed ego centric individuals with too much time on their hands. However, this is America and we do have the right to express ourseleves as we see fit. If you don't like it just don't create a page. On the more positive side it does give people with OCD/ADHD something to do.
@Michele….You spelled "avalanche" incorrectly. LOL.
Though technically I have a Facebook account, I don't use it, and have told friends/acquaintances; "I don't do Facebook."
They try to convince me of its value, showing me pics of their kids who just did "the cutest thing," Shirt-tale relative at a family reunion; reposted "quote of the day," all of which serve to further entrench my resistance and distaste for social media…. Facebook in particular.
I'm guilty of just one, posting numerous pictures of my kids. Consider it content creation which is bundled into albums rather than individual assaults on the newsfeed.
I think most people missed the point of this article. Yes, Facebook is a social media site with very few limitations, but that does not mean that we should not have a social media code of conduct. This article was simply stating that these actions in excess can be very annoying for your Facebook friends and make you look bad. Also since potential employers are more likely to scope out your Facebook page it is better to put your best face forwar and sidestep any social media blunders. Notice how the author commented that many of the actions are perfectly acceptable among close friends. Besides this article is called 10 Unfriendable mistakes. Lighten up people!
Posting things that are racist or sexist doesn't make you look ignorant. Ignorant means you don't know any better. Posting that stuff makes you look stupid. Which means you know better and you do it anyway. There is nothing wrong with ignorance other than the fact that people who actually need to learn a few things. People who are stupid need to shut up. I think that's really what you meant with the Mel Gibson picture.
People taking the time to argue on-line about Facebook? Way too much time on your hands. No one changes anyone's thoughts.
Kaleb, I respectfully disagree with you, at least in part. While you do have a right to drop the F-Bomb as an adverb or adjective, a noun-modifier – using it as a verb followed by "you" should actually result in banning permanently from whatever page it's used on. To say nothing of the fact that it is very revealing about the person using it as a way to end discussion on an intelligent level.
THANK YOU Snipe…! Finally! If you don't like what I have to say, or my posting pics of my son and dog irritate you, then UN-FRIEND ME! You aren't a "real friend" anyway! And if you are so bold as to feel you can tell people how to live THEIR lives and and tell them what they should or shouldn't on THEIR own fb page, then at least be grammatically correct when you do it!
Facebook is a lot of fun for me. I don't mind if people un friend me because I broke one of their rules. I love posting pictures, and yakking about all manner of things. I try to connect with decent people. Closed groups are more flexible with the occasional cuss word. I hate the "neener neener" mentality when it shows up. I'm there for a good time, and that's about it.
This whole thing is ridiculous. Behavior police are the worst. Be yourself on your own social networking page. I'm on it to connect with my friends and family and coworkers (sometimes, but there are other places for professional contact), not to get a job or… I don't know, interview for new friendships. If I want to post pictures of my baby or my dog, I'm going to. If someone is posting something I don't like, I just don't read it! If something is hateful, violent, or misogynistic, yes I will unfriend someone—and I'm glad to know it about them. But if they are posting what they want to on their page, their political opinions or religious affiliation, so what? Nothing is ever going to change in society if you don't talk about real issues. Man, this article is infuriating.It seems like the the authors want a world with nothing but blandness.
Social abilities in this Country have gotten to be abolute. Stop pointing fingers and blame on women for your problems. race , gender and alptitude of social graces are no longer. Whom do we blame.
OURSELVES …. point the finger back at you and don't expect someone whom is being discriminated against or being judged by gang like mentality ppl or popular people by society to clean up ur crap. Be productive work together then avoid the burden of strife and love one another as intended.
discrimination and hatred comes in many forms as well as social parallels. We are supposed to act accordingly with obedience to your own emotional safety and dignity.
too much anger in this Country.
When someone unfriends me, I take it as a sign that that's not the type of person I want to associate with anyway. Who would want a "friend" who would ditch you over something so stupid? Life's too short.
I don't get this. These aren't faux pas, these are just different personality types. If someone does one of these, then they are just being themselves. If someone is going to unfriend them over it, then good riddens. Let them have friends who like them just the way they are. Is this article supposed to teach people how to act like someone else to get more friends? Very strange.
I think these types of social medias are part of the decline of American Society today. I recently got a Facebook account just to see what heppens. I get former classmates who friend me & then don't talk to me at all In chat. And some who tell me they consider their former classmates only "aquaintances" & just use Facebook to see what everyone Is doing. My question is why even friend me on Facebook If you don't consider us friends? They don't want to even talk, they just say go see my facebook page. I don't want to just go over & read their page, I want to talk to them & actually see how they are doing. The whole Facebook forum, IMHO Is narcissistic. People do OVER SHARE by posting loads of pics of themselves just about everyday doing YOU NAME IT. BUT at the same time they don't want anything to do with you personally. I find it rather sad & disappointing & won't be keeping my Facebook account either. It's all just very shallow to me & people just post there to say, "Look at me."
Facebook is fair game. Whatever you post in there, people can comment on it anytime even if you don't like what they said.
I added someone on FB that I really want to unfriend now, but instead, I just hid that person's updates from my timeline and secured my profile so that person can't see my posts. Said person already has an "X" from me and also like that offline: major douchebag.
Love love love the "asking for handouts" pic. It's from "Coming to America" but really a shout-out to Trading Places from the 80's.
The quote is "Randolph, we're back in business!!" as Don Ameche tells his brother and business partner Ralph Bellamie (both unfortunately have since passed away) after Eddie Murphy donates his pocket cash of about $10K to them on the park bench.
If you adhere to these rules, your content would be so boring I wouldn't follow you anyway.
What a bunch of crap! Follow these rules and turn FB into another bland, milktoast, politically correct and totally boring place. Now children, let's all get in line and make sure no one colors outside of the lines…
LOL…LMBO – cliche enough? Now we must abide by "the rules" of social media. For crying out loud, social smart people have two pages and the point is, it is there page. These "what to do, wear, not do, not wear" posts are getting on my last nerve and I should know by now..duh..It's a social media page reflecting the person, what's next, brain implants to make what people do (non criminal of course) socially palatable for everyone else? SMH…I'll go stalk someone now..
Oh Jeez – should have said "their" not "there"…grammar police alert…insert siren sound as we round the bend for the next list of things "not to do" on social media, forgetting about all of the smartphone flaws. Forgive me, I've sinned in the social media world by inserting the wrong spelling
Maybe it's just me but what I read in this article was "Top 10 reasons people might start unfriending you" Sure, we're all guilty of doing these sorts of things at one point or another. The writer didn't say "If you do all of these things people WILL unfriend you!!" She was just listing things that most people would unfriend you over. I agree with some of her points even thought I, myself, have been guilty of a couple things. Sure, there are some documented facts but at the end of the day, we shouldn't take the internet so seriously. Social media sites were created to be… well… social and everyone has a right to their own opinion on what they feel is creative, funny, political, etc. If you don't like it, don't read it. If it annoys you to the point that you need to unfriend someone, so be it. These were just meant to give a heads up on what can be annoying to some people. Jumping on the writer of this article doesn't do anyone any good however, you are all entitled to your own opinions. This is the circle of virtual life.
Over and over pictures of babies and your kids. food recipes. God this and god that…. I will go to church if I want to hear all that… just saying
I like the helpful info you provide in your articles.
I will bookmark your blog and check again here regularly.
I am quite certain I'll learn many new stuff right here!
Best of luck for the next!

How long does a pack of raw, dried Indian papad keep once it's opened? There's a best before date on the pack, but it's not mentioned how long they keep once it's opened. The ones I have are the Lijjat Papad brand that's sold internationally. This stuff is pretty dry, so I'm guessing it will remain safe to eat for quite a while though.

I haven't really experimented, but if imagining how dry that stuff is and the amount of salt that goes inside one those, I would say in the months/years range. Just keep it in a cool dry place..
Air sealing it will do. Moisture affects papads for some reason.
Another tip : If you fry some papad, keeping them in air sealed bags will stop them from going mushy

En español | Streaming devices — those Internet-connected gadgets that play online content on your TV screen — are a booming market: Annual sales of streaming devices are expected to double to about 330 million by 2017. Consumers already have many options, and with tech titans like Amazon and Google reportedly prepping new products for 2014, you'll soon have even more.
While most TV manufacturers now offer smart TVs, which integrate online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu Plus right into your flat screen, they charge a hefty premium for it. In many cases, connecting a streaming device to your TV set may be a more sensible option, offering a broader range of choices — and often for under $100. Before you start shopping, make sure you have a speedy Internet connection and an open HDMI port. Got those? Then read on.
If you're looking for quantity from your streaming device, meet the most robust offering on the market. More than 1,000 choices are listed on Roku's channel store, from popular services like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant and Watch ESPN to more obscure services. With a little digging and research, Roku users can download channels that play nothing but B-movies or classic cartoons. Other channels offer local newscasts and weather from across the country, which can be nice for travelers or transplants who miss home.
Until recently, Roku was the only major streaming device that didn't have a YouTube app, but a new update added that feature. The Roku also lets you stream your own pictures and video from your mobile devices to your TV. The top-of-the-line Roku 3 features a motion sensor remote that turns the Roku into a rudimentary gaming device. There are a few fun trivia apps, and it is pretty cool to toss Angry Birds across your screen with a simple flick of the wrist, but the game selection is limited.
The Roku 3 (and the newly updated Roku 2) offer what's perhaps my favorite feature on any streamer: a jack on its remote that mutes your TV set and sends audio directly to your headphones. It's a perfect solution for anyone who wants to watch TV without disturbing others, such as a sleeping partner.
Price: $49.99 (Roku LT) to $99.99 (Roku 3)
Apple TV
The first incarnation of the Apple TV streaming box, released at the start of 2007, predates the iPhone. The jump Apple got on its competition has paid off as the tech giant still owns more than half of the streaming device market.
More apps and channels have been added over the years, and many of the biggies are here: Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go and YouTube. Recently added apps include Watch ESPN and the Smithsonian Channel.
Apple curates its offerings more stringently than some others — at least for now, you won't find Amazon Instant video. IPhone, iPad or Mac users already in the Apple ecosystem will benefit the most from Apple TV, as it seamlessly integrates iTunes and App Store purchases across all devices. Its AirPlay function, which allows content from iDevices to be streamed to your TV screen, is the most intuitive and smoothest mirroring option available.
Price: $99

I have read this very good link on the differences in paprika, but I did not learn all that I need to learn as far as buying these different varieties. When I go to my grocery chain to do my weekly shopping and I see the spice container which says Paprika, is that just going to be "Plain" paprika. I ask because I need to go out and find both sweet paprika and hot paprika which probably will require a little more effort on my part to find. Maybe a Whole Foods or something?

Convenereached out to more than 30 high-level medical meeting professionals across a broad swath of medical practice areas to learn how the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) — aka the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare — is changing the way they're planning their medical meetings, conferences, and conventions, only a handful responded. The director of convention operations for a major medical society whose annual meeting draws tens of thousands of physician attendees said she was "uncomfortable" addressing the topic at this time. The ramifications of the PPACA for her convention were being discussed at the board level, she said, but not yet at the committee or staff level.
While parts of Obamacare have already been implemented, most of the major provisions — aimed at decreasing the number of uninsured Americans, lowering the overall costs of health care, improving health-care outcomes, and streamlining the delivery of health care — will be phased in by January 2014, with the remaining provisions enacted by 2020.
Change is clearly at hand. What's behind the seeming lack of responsiveness from medical meeting professionals? In a word, uncertainty. And they're hardly the only ones in the health-care community who are unsure how the Affordable Care Act will play out.
At the end of last year, The Physicians Foundation — a nonprofit organization whose mission is "to advance the work of practicing physicians and help facilitate the delivery of health care to patients" — released its 2013 Watch List, which identified the top five issues affecting physicians and patients this year. All five had to do with the Affordable Care Act, with "Ongoing uncertainty over PPACA" topping the list. "Much of the law has yet to be fully defined," according to a news release from The Physicians Foundation, "and a number of key areas within PPACA — including accountable care organizations (ACOs), healthinsurance exchanges, Medicare physician fee schedule, and the independent payment advisory board — remain nebulous. The Foundation's 2012 Biennial Physician Survey found that uncertainty surrounding health reform was among the key factors contributing to 77 percent of physicians being pessimistic about the future of medicine. In 2013, physicians will need to closely monitor developments around the implementation of these critical provisions, to understand how they will directly affect their patients and ability to practice medicine."
'We have an issue with capacity in primary care in particular, and the Affordable Care Act is going to aggravate that by letting more patients have access. So a lot of it is about building new models of care, new skills for managing populations, instead of kind of a traditional form of practice.' -James P. Scott
'We have an issue with capacity in primary care in particular, and the Affordable Care Act is going to aggravate that by letting more patients have access. So a lot of it is about building new models of care, new skills for managing populations, instead of kind of a traditional form of practice.' -James P. Scott
Lou Goodman, Ph.D., president of The Physicians Foundation and CEO of the Texas Medical Association, called 2013 "a watershed year for the U.S. health-care system." It's "clear that lawmakers need to work closely with physicians to ensure that we are well prepared to meet the demands of 30 million new patients in the health-care system," Goodman said in a press release, "and to effectively address the impending doctor shortage and growing patient-access crisis."
The field of medicine is complex and specialized, so the extent to which the PPACA will affect a medical association's constituents depends on its particular area of health care. But the general consensus is that family physicians are likely to bear the brunt of changes. "Family physicians are the backbone of our nation's primary-care infrastructure, which has unfortunately been crumbling under the weight of a misaligned, inefficient, fractured health-care delivery system for many years," said Ray Saputelli, CAE, executive vice president of the New Jersey Academy of Family Physicians (NJAFP). "The pressures faced by family physicians extend well beyond the PPACA and have existed for years before Congress enacted the law, and while some of those pressures may be relieved, some may be exacerbated. Part of the problem is that much of what is to come is still not clear to everyone."
One of the pillars of the National Physicians Alliance (NPA), founded in 2005 for physicians across medical specialties, is ensuring "equitable, affordable, high-quality health care for all people" — so it's not surprising that NPA is "very supportive" of the Affordable Care Act, according to NPA President Elect James P. Scott, M.D. "I think there are concerns in some areas about the additional [patient] load," Scott said. "That may be kind of a temporary adjustment, I think. We have an issue with capacity in primary care in particular, and the Affordable Care Act is going to aggravate that by basically letting more patients have access. So a lot of it is about building new models of care, and new teams, new skills for managing populations, instead of kind of a traditional form of practice."
Scott is referring to two outcomes of the PPACA that are abundantly clear: increased patient loads, including a high representation of minority patients who have not previously had access to medical care; and incentives to create ACOs that coordinate their services to design a more efficient delivery of health care to patients. Many factors, including health-care insurance challenges, had already started a trend of private-practice physicians joining larger medical groups and/or becoming hospital employees prior to Obamacare.
What are the opportunities for medical meetings to help transition their members and attendees to this new model of practice — and how might the meetings themselves change to better meet their participants' new challenges?
"The [PPACA] is hugely affecting our members," said Kirsten Olean, CMP, CAE, director of meetings for the Association of American Medical Colleges. "We actually think that the uptick in attendance at our annual in the fall [of 2012] might have been in part because our members are really looking to us to guide them through all these changes ahead" — although, she added, "that is a theory."
At its conferences last year, the American Osteopathic Association (AOA), which represents more than 100,000 osteopathic physicians (DOs) and osteopathic medical students, offered a few educational sessions about the PPACA, "which were great successes," said Deidre Irwin Ross, MHA, CMP, CAE, AOA's director of meetings and administration. This year, AOA is providing "additional sessions related to practice transformation and PPACA implementation, which will be eligible for category 1-A CME credit," Ross said. "We are also offering dually accredited CME that can be used for both AOA and credit from the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), which we see as added value for attendees."
Added value is something that health-care professionals across every discipline are looking for. "The most important role that the NJAFP plays in our members' professional lives with regard to the PPACA is to serve as both a conduit for information and a resource for education," Saputelli said. "The PPACA will present different challenges to different segments of our membership. Physicians practicing in larger group practices, integrated delivery systems, hospital-owned practices, and other similar settings

Blue Valentine
A complex portrait of a contemporary American marriage, "Blue Valentine" tells the story of David and Cindy, a couple who have been together for several years but who are at an impasse in their relationship. While Cindy has blossomed into a woman with opportunities and options, David is still the same person he was when they met, and he is unable to accept either Cindy's growth or his lack of it. Innovatively structured, the narrative unfolds in two distinct time frames, juxtaposing scenes of first love and youthful sexuality with those of disenchantment and discord.

It makes no difference the level of baseball, a pitcher gets a thrill when throwing a perfect game. Just ask Spencer Wells.
Wells, who pitches for the Poteau Rebels OK Kids baseball team, did just that, throwing a perfect five-inning game as the Rebels defeated the Spiro Muddawgs 5-0 in the title game of the 2013 OK Kids Preseason Tournament on Thursday night at the Poteau Area Recreational Complex.
Wells faced the minimum 15 batters in five innings with 11 strikeouts.

As we wrote yesterday afternoon, in terms of coverage, we didn't miss a beat.Our East Village HQ didn't get power until last night, so, lacking a home base, we set up work stations wherever we could — whether it was friends' living rooms, hotel lobbies, or even an odd rooftop.

It's tough to be astonished these days.
And tougher to be astonished by guitar players in Nashville. That's like being astonished by Green Hills traffic, or by the empty-ish upper deck at late-season Titans football games.
Even tougher still for guitar players to be astonished by guitar players. Mystery is astonishment's pre-requisite, and there's no mystery in a guitar: six strings, some wood and steel, some electronics to make sure everyone can hear. We all know how it's done, and in Music City — or "Guitar Town," as it's sometimes called — it's done by most everyone who waits on a table, valet parks a car or smiles from a billboard.
But astonishment was the order of the evening at Wednesday night's "String Fever" concert at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center's Polk Theater. Country Music Hall of Famer and master guitarist Vince Gill served as host, but spent most of the night at side stage, watching and listening like a 4-year-old gazing at a shopping mall Santa as mind-bending guitarist after mind-bending guitarist took the stage.
First up was Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Duane Eddy, rock's first solo instrumental star. He capped a two-song set with his 1958 smash "Rebel Rouser," playing what must have been the lowest E note on the planet and offering lessons in tone, twang and melodic economy.
Then Rory Hoffman and Richard Smith came on, charged with following a legend and well-aware that the majority of the crowd was wondering, "Who are Rory Hoffman and Richard Smith?"
Well, Richard Smith is a finger-picking virtuoso, in the Chet Atkins mold. And Hoffman is a blind multi-instrumentalist who often plays local venues and who happens to have re-imagined the way that a guitar can be played. He lays it in his lap, plays it overhand, kind of like a piano, and finds fluidity, chordal voicings and textures that Keith Urban has called "frighteningly original."
Hoffman and Smith drew spontaneous applause mid-song in "Autumn Leaves," transforming an old war horse into something new and gorgeous, and drawing a standing ovation and subsequent encore.
"I'm so glad I write songs," Gill said after Hoffman and Smith exited. "I just went and told every guitar player back there, 'We've been doing it wrong all these years.' "
Hoffman was the evening's shocker for many in the audience, but there was nothing anti-climactic about the performances that followed.
John Jorgenson, who recently moved from Nashville after 12 years here, played Django Reinhardt-style gypsy jazz, jammed with slide guitar ace (and former Allman Brother) Jack Pearson and fronted a rock 'n' roll power trio for a trippy take on George Harrison's "Love You To."
Colin Linden fused Texas, Mississippi and Piedmont-style acoustic blues, and then he and the Nashville-born Pearson amped up and turned TPAC into a juke joint. Andy Reiss of Grammy-nominated band The Time Jumpers and longtime session ace/"Grand Ole Opry" musical director Steve Gibson offered "Sugarfoot Rag" in tribute to Hank Garland, who Chet Atkins cited as the greatest, most complete of all Nashville guitarists.
"Hank Garland defied gravity," Gibson said, before romping through the rag.
Steve Wariner talked eloquently about his friend and hero Atkins, then played in Atkins' style, with complex chordal maneuverings and a thumb that banged the low strings like a drummer whacks a snare. Then Wariner played a bluesy "Guitar Talk," scatting like George Benson, whose prime influence was ... wait for it ... Hank Garland.
Johnny Hiland and Guthrie Trapp, both veterans of Lower Broadway's Don Kelley Band, played a warp-speed "That's Alright, Mama" while Gill and other guitarists shook their heads and laughed in wonder, and Al Perkins and Phil Brown took on Peter Green's airily lovely "Albatross."
Lee Roy Parnell and Mike Farris played and sang (yes, singing was allowed) bluesy Southern soul and then joined Rock Hall of Famer Steve Cropper on Cropper and Eddie Floyd's soul hit "Knock on Wood."
And Grammy-winning Larry Carlton — Gill called him "The guitar player's guitar player" — played jazz that was as tuneful and accessible as it was sophisticated.
After more than three hours of this, Gill was supposed to cap the show. Instead of trying to top what had already been played, or bringing everyone back for a chaotic group number, Gill came out alone, holding his 1942 Martin D-28. It was his first fine guitar, purchased when he was a teenager, with every cent he'd saved in his young life, and it's on display as part of the Tennessee State Museum's "The Guitar: An American Love Story" exhibit.
It's been the constant in Gill's life for decades, and Wednesday he used it to provide a plaintive benediction, singing a song he wrote about the instrument called "This Old Guitar and Me."
And then folks filed out, astonished to be astonished. It was late by then, nearing midnight. But Green Hills traffic was a breeze.

The plan was a good one. I would drive out to Plymouth and hike a place called Peat Swamp Woods and explore the ruins of an old carriage factory.
Then I discovered Plymouth's historic Main Street, so I took a few detours into the past before heading into the woods.
My first stop after parking along the Plymouth Green was an old cemetery dating back to 1747 and filled with soldiers from the Revolutionary War, the French and Indian War and the War of 1812.
I love the history and melancholy of cemeteries from the 18th century, with their crumbling, lichen-covered stones with ornate carvings. Be on the lookout for a grave marked "lived to bury five husbands" — a sad reference to life expectancy back then.
According to the town's "Walking Tour of Plymouth Center" brochure, several of the buildings around the town green come with interesting histories, including the "Quiet House." George Washington slept there on his way to meet French Gen. Comte de Rochambeau. The house on Main Street was a former inn, where the keeper would not serve alcohol —hence it's nickname.
A Greek Revival-style building along nearby North Street was moved in the dead of night to a new location because the town was divided about whether to relocate it.
After taking my brief history tour, I made my way up North Street to the preserve entrance across from a beautiful 1780 Cape known as the Blakeslee House. After crossing a field, the trail leads to a picturesque swamp where spring peepers sing out to attract a mate. As I get closer, the sound stops as the peepers figure out I'm not a female frog. A loop trail takes visitors to the top of a stone cliff to "sunset rock" and its view across the swamp and forest. There are several benches for those who want to wait for a sunset.
The trail winds down to the ruins of the former Shelton Tuttle Carriage Shop, where Plymouth natives Augustus Shelton and Byron Tuttle made carriages that were shipped all over the country. The trail, built last year by Eagle Scout Zach Wegh, winds its way around the huge stone foundation of the old shop. Bricks, iron nails and broken bottles peer out of the dirt and leaves.
A trip to Plymouth would not be complete without a trip to a place called Horseshoe Falls along Canal Street in the Terryville section. A scenic dam and waterfall along the Pequabuck River can be viewed from the Tadeusz Wladyslaw Konopka bridge.
No idea who that is? His acting name was Ted Knight, a Terryville native famous for his role as Ted Baxter on the Mary Tyler Moore Show and Judge Smails on Caddyshack.
Every town should print its own walking guide highlighting its history and the stories that make each community unique. And including a map of a short hike doesn't hurt.
Brochures are available in multiple locations around the town green, visit http://www.plymouthct.us/pdf/walking%20guide12_0627.pdf for a printable brochure.

Bars in Maryland cannot be held liable for injuries their patrons cause after they leave, Maryland's highest court ruled Thursday in a 4 to 3 vote.
The grandparents of a 10-year-old girl who was killed when a drunk driver hit their family car in 2008 sued the Gaithersburg bar that served Michael Eaton, the driver, 21 drinks before he hit the road. But the Court of Appeals ruled that the bar, Dogfish Head Alehouse, is not liable for the crash.
In 43 states and Washington, D.C., according to statistics compiled by Mothers Against Drunk Driving, vendors of alcohol can be held liable in at least some circumstances for accidents that occur after they serve drinks to a visibly intoxicated customer. Maryland, Virginia and Delaware are among the seven states that lack "dram-shop" liability provisions, as they are known. The others are Kansas, Nebraska, Nevada and South Dakota.
The Rev. William Warr Jr. and his wife, Angela Warr, had hoped to change that in Maryland. In August 2008, Eaton ordered 17 beers and several drinks of hard liquor, including a shot of tequila and something called a lemon drop, according to court records.
Then he drove between 88 and 98 mph along Interstate 270. He hit the Warrs' vehicle from behind. Ten-year-old Jazimen Harris was killed, and the Warrs and another granddaughter were injured.
Eaton was sentenced to eight years in prison for manslaughter, and the Warrs sued the bar.
The court offered the same opinion that it gave in 1951 and 1981: Bars in Maryland are not liable for accidents their patrons cause, even if the bars fail to stop serving patrons who are clearly drunk.
In her dissenting opinion, Judge Sally Adkins noted that public opinion on drunken driving has changed greatly since the last time the court considered dram-shop liability.
The court suggested in 1981 and in Thursday's decision that the legislature could choose to pass a dram-shop measure. But Adkins pointed out that four bills on the subject introduced from 1987 to 2012 never made it out of committee.
Jason Fernandez, an attorney who helped represent the Warrs, said legislators will not consider the topic because insurance companies resist the laws.
"At some point in time, some branch of the government has got to step up and save lives," Fernandez said. "The legislature couldn't, so we asked the court to do so, and they chose not to."
In her dissent, Adkins cited a study that found dram-shop liability — the term comes from a term for a shop where spirits were sold by the dram — reduced fatalities by 3 percent to 11 percent. She calculated that in Maryland 14 people would be saved each year by such a provision.
"The majority of the general public would be outraged at a commercial vendor who, for the sake of profit, continues to serve an already drunk person well past the line of being 'visibly under the influence,' to the point of becoming aggressive and violent, and then sends him on his way, where he gets behind the wheel of a vehicle and kills a ten-year-old girl," she wrote. "By the standards of our community, this is morally blameworthy."

All St. Mary's public schools will reopen Wednesday, Oct. 31, the school system announced on Tuesday, as the county continued to deal with the residual conditions and aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Patuxent River Naval Air Station lifted its �mission essential personnel� status posture as of noon, Tuesday, Oct. 30. Operations will return to normal on Oct. 31. Employees with extenuating circumstances are advised to contact their supervisors for reporting instructions.
The county�s commissioners lifted the local state of emergency at noon on Tuesday, a declaration made last Saturday as the storm approached, and all county offices also will reopen on Wednesday. The commissioners have rescheduled their regular Tuesday meeting to 9 a.m. this Friday, Nov. 2.
St. Mary�s shelters at Leonardtown and Great Mills high schools that began operation on Sunday have been closed, and a pet shelter at the county fairgrounds also has been discontinued.
The St. Mary�s Metropolitan Commission issued a reminder to customers that on properties equipped with a sewage grinder pump that have experienced a power outage, the grinder pump alarm will likely activate once power has been restored. If that occurs, and the alarm continues to sound for more than 30 minutes, the customer should call MetCom�s 24-hour response line at 301-373-5305.
The county commissioners also issued a statement that because the hurricane no longer poses a danger to the county, trick-or-treating activities should go on as scheduled on Wednesday.

One football game in the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference will not be played Thursday night.
Westlake was scheduled to play at Lackey High School in a 6:30 p.m. contest, but the game has been canceled, according to a Thursday morning press release from Charles County Public Schools.
The release states that "the cancellation is a forfeit for Westlake as a result of a one-game suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct that occurred at a game last week."
There will be no makeup game, the release states, so Lackey receives a forfeit victory by the score of 2-0, its second straight win to start the season after a 47-0 shutout of La Plata on Saturday night. Westlake now will be 1-1.
The game the release refers to is a 20-13 victory by Westlake over Bowie of Prince George's County. Senior John Bell's 42-yard punt return for a touchdown with two seconds left in regulation gave the Wolverines the victory.
In between Bell's bookending touchdowns, the first being an 82-yard kickoff return to begin the contest, both teams spilled onto the field in a benches-clearing skirmish in the third quarter after Bowie strong safety Randel Emakoua made a tackle.
Four players, two from each side, were ejected during the fight.
Bowie's ejected players were starting right tackle Eugene Lindsay and reserve running back Maxwell Willis, Bowie head coach Jae Jackson said after Saturday's contest.
Westlake head coach Marlon Curtis did not remember during a postgame interview after Saturday's contest which two Westlake players were ejected, just noting they were role players.
"I was very surprised [the fight happened]," he said. "I did not see what happened [to start the fight]. I was watching the group tackle that took place. The melee kind of took place over by the numbers [on the field toward the sideline]. I don't think either side knows what ignited it and started it.
"A lot of bad decisions were made. It's a learning experience. You hate to learn that way, but the guys are going to know, from this point on, it'll never happen again."
Curtis responded to Southern Maryland Newspapers on Thursday morning after the decision was made to cancel the game.
"I was disappointed for a second by the call, but you treat this as a loss that happened the week before and you move on to the next game," Curtis said. "You can't spend time dwelling on it. This should be a motivator because we have to make up lost ground now. The state deemed it necessary for us to forfeit tonight's game because of the ejection of players from both teams."
Lackey head football coach John Lush added Thursday morning, "We don't control the state regulations; obviously our kids were excited to play. We haven't got a chance to beat Westlake since 2008, so this is a game we were looking forward to since last year. These type of things are out of our hands. We just have to learn from this and make sure we are not in the same situation. We have to be careful and conduct ourselves at all times."
The release states that notification of the canceled game was sent by email to Lackey and Westlake parents Wednesday.
"Incidents of unsportsmanlike conduct are routinely investigated and often violate Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association, Charles County Public Schools and individual school athletic rules," the release states.

2 cups
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
1 cup
mashed bananas
Okay, 5 stars based on how I made them. Cut the buttermilk to 3/4C, used 1.25C flour, 1.25t baking powder, four bananas and about 1/2T honey. Really, really good; lots of banana flavor, moist and fluffy. This made about 12 6" pancakes. Next time, I may add some oatmeal as well.
it worked out to be too liquidy and the flavour while nicely flavoured with banana was not favoured by the family....will not try this again.
25 Ratings
I can't give full stars, since I did some tweaking, but this is a good base. I increased the flour by 1/2 a cup, I used whole wheat flour and added vanilla and 1 tbsp of brown sugar to the batter, as well as a pinch of nutmeg. The result was pretty spectacular. My family asks for these every Sunday.
Ok, don't know why this gets such poor reviews! I followed the tweaking given in the reviews, used 3/4 cup buttermilk, 1 1/4 tsp double acting baking powder, and 4 over-ripe bananas. These were fluffy, with the creamy banana in the middle and full of banana flavor, plus they smelled fricken' awesome when cooking! Here's a hint people: when mashing the bananas use an actual "masher", not a blender or food processor. Also mix this by hand with a wisk, not a hand mixer. That's how this becomes too liquidy. Don't over mix, just mix until all the dry ingredients are incorporated and the batter is lumpy. Let the batter stand while you get your skillet heated up ( 1-3 minutes). Also make sure you grease your skillet or pan and use low to medium heat, otherwise these will get burnt before they are done in the middle. Follow these tips and this recipe WILL be awesome! Next time I'm gonna put cinnamon and chopped nuts in it and it'll kick butt!
these came out great! They're a little mooshy-er than regular pancakes, but sweet, delicious, easy to make. definitely fluffy!
These came out way too runny! I would reccomend using 1/2 the amount of buttermilk or making them into crepes instead. They did have great flavor though!
Batter was too liquidy so I added more flour. There just wasn't much taste to it at all. The only salvaging this recipe was adding chocolate chips. Never again!
I did not care for this recipe.
