that is a lovely quote and just goes to remind us that there is nothing new under the sun.
...all things in moderation...that includes new equipment.
I tell people that new gear is fine, as long as it is not a proxy for practice and study and dedication to your craft...and as long as it adds something new to your capabilities.
You can't play golf without golf clubs.
There are some things that cannot be photographed without certain equipment--wildlife photography is perhaps the most equipment intensive branch of the photography family tree. Getting good is very hard without at least a reasonably competent telephoto lens. Otherwise you are permanently handicapped.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, amazing street photography and portraiture can be done with very modest photographic equipment.

Thanks for sharing!
I'm a hopeless amateursih hobbyist, meaning I'm only in it for the fun. Part of the fun is to master the medium. But I also claim the right to enjoy all aspects of the process, such as mastering and discussing the gear. But Weston was of course correct when it comes to the end result, the photo. And I would add that the real challenge is to have some story to tell.

As others have said, I too have resembled that comment.
I think the point that a person "grows up" and becomes a true photographer, pro or amateur, is that time when you buy a camera and/or a lens, and you simply don't give a flying hoot what other people think or say about your gear, or if it makes a top ten list of sharpest lens, etc. You don't care what the web site or magazine reviews say or what popular opinion seems to be on the message boards, you get to a point where you are comfortable, and capturing/creating your image is top priority.
I was just taking to a professional photographer the other day. He pointed out a "new" lens he had bought a year ago, certainly not a top of the line lens by any standard, but not bad either. He says to me; " You know, people make fun of me or do a double take when they see the lens I use, but you know what, I pay the rent and buy groceries with photographs I take using this lens. Further more if I drop or break it, I toss it right away, but a new the same day and never loose any real downtime."
Another pro I know uses either Nikon or Canon, they flip back and forth all the time, simply depending on his need at the time. He doesn't care what brand they use as long as the camera has the features he needs.
There is one bit of "gear" advice I was given 30 years ago, that despite all the technological advances I still agree with. I was taught that 90% of the world's photographs could be improved by using a tripod. Two reasons. One, it steadies the camera and makes any lens you use sharper that a jiggy hand held shot. Even today with IS or VR, i still see "shaky shots" that people take even with the IS or VR turned on, so I think that still hold true. Secondly, using a tripod mounted camera forces you to slow down and think about what you are shooting.
So the real lesson is, not to always use a tripod, but to hold your camera steady and think about your shots. In other words, technique over gear wins out almost every time.

It is an excellent quote, thank you for sharing. But I can't help but think if you dropped it into many 'gear threads' across a wide range of forums (not this one obviously) the reply would be one of two, a) 'who is Edward Weston?', or b) 'His photo's would have looked better in HDR color'. Essentially many people have never known anything other than gear discussions, they have never gone outside the envelope of 'the next lens will make me better'.

Sorry! I can't identify much with this quote from Edward Weston. Whenever I buy new gear, it's always because I've experienced some degree of disatisfaction with my current gear, and discover that the new gear is not only claimed to address such problem, but actually does address such problems, according to sites such as DXOMark.
For example, my first digital camera, the 6mp Canon D60, had rather poor high-ISO performance. I could see the noise clearly on my computer monitor, even at ISO 400. At ISO 800 it was unbearable. ISO 1,000 was the highest ISO setting. The only reason I ever used ISO 1,000 was to reconfirm that noise was unacceptable, in all circumstances.
When Canon released the 20D some years later, the improvement in high-ISO noise was so significant that upgrading the D60 to a 20D was a no-brainer.
Likewise, when Canon produced an affordable full-frame DSLR, the 12mp 5D, around the same time it offered a good quality 24-105/F4 zoom, the decision was easy to buy both the camera and the lens. The improved results were a joy to behold.
However, nothing's perfect. Despite my general satisfaction with th Canon 5D, there were times when I was really pissed off with the banding and the noise in the deep shadows. I felt that some of my best shots were ruined because I was unable to retrieve clean detail in the shadows.
When Nikon addressed this problem, to a small degree with the full-frame D3 and D700, and later to a much more significant degree with the D7000 and the D800, then the decision was clear. I now use Nikon equipment.
I hope the point I'm making is clear. I'm distinguishing between a redressing of dissatisfaction with one's current equipment, and the seduction of advertised new effects which may be perceived as cool.

Upside down, in the dark, problem.

Amazon has excellent prices on this invaluable piece of camera gear. It's an LED flashlight, not much bigger than the single AAA battery that powers it. I tape a piece of red gel over the business end if I'm star shooting to preserve my night vision.

Getting and reading Edward Weston's Daybooks is a good way to see what he thought about what he was doing. Worth the effort and time as it gives good insight into one of the photo greats.

Quote from: Ellis Vener on August 23, 2013, 11:21:38 AM
"The fact is that relatively few photographers ever master their medium. Instead they allow the medium to master them and go on an endless squirrel cage chase from new lens to new paper to new developer to new gadget, never staying with one piece of equipment long enough to learn its full capacities, becoming lost in a maze of technical information that is of little or no use since they don't know what to do with it." - Edward Weston
"Weston often used longer exposures than Adams did (particularly in his still lifes) and was less likely to use a filter to correct tonality or to eliminate chromatic aberration in his often less-than-perfect lenses. Instead, he usually stopped down his lenses as much as possible, even using black paper with a hole in it in one case to increase the appearance of detail in the finished photograph. ... This limited equipment was occasioned by
straitened finances
, but Weston made a virtue of necessity by believing that it was best to learn to see in terms of one lens, one film, and one paper, rather than acquiring a smattering of knowledge about a variety of processes. In this manner he felt one could gain an intuitive relationship to the exposure of the photograph."
(My emphasis.)
"Continuity and Revolution: The Work of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston", Diana Emery Hulick, pages 26-27 in
Through their own eyes: the personal portfolios of Edward Weston and Ansel Adams
I really should have wondered more about the background to Edward Weston's words. I do only have a 35mm f1.8 and 85mm f2.8 and one APS-C camera body; and although I am slowly learning what I can do with them, it would be silly to ignore the fact that they were among the cheapest prime lenses for the camera :-)

The change in technology in bodies every few years tempts people to upgrade technology so often that, as Weston observed, it is often too short a period to fully comprehend its potential and to develop "automaticity"....technique without having to think about mechanics...

I'm not sure if many have looked at Brett's work, (Edwards older son)...I find it a real joy. I recommend the bio's of the family as well.
I can relate to the quote, and as mentioned, rather timely :-)
If you are in studio and setting up a shoot, maybe it has little relation. But shooting in the streets anything that is at the glimps of a second, knowing your gear second nature is huge.
I'm happy I can pretty much have this setup from the Canon 10D to 4 models between up to the 5Dm2. I'm sure Nikon users feel the same way.
Perhaps partly the Weston quote is as such, since they used the LFormats like most today's photographers use a SLR.....at least on occasion.
If you buy a camera, you're a photographer...

Thanks for this quote, Ellis. It's a great reminder of what really counts in photography - the photographs, not the gear. No doubt the circumstances of Weston (limited finances) have a bearing on his comment, as Isaac pointed out.
It's also important to remember the time in which it was said - a time when gear was significantly more expensive compared to average incomes of the time and there wasn't the level of now rampant consumerism we have today that companies now rely on for profits. The photography industry would collapse if today we had to pay equivalent prices (compared to average incomes) for gear. We have also gone through a period of incredibly rapid and unprecedented change and improvements to gear with automation and digital capture. These have all combined to keep many of us spending.
But I fear for the future of a photo industry so reliant on consumerism and upgrading; an industry also being scavenged by phone cameras at the low, money-making end. I'm sure Canikon are not relying on pro sales for their bread and butter.
Case in point, similar to Ray, in the last 10 years I have upgraded my main camera four times to take advantage of the improvements. But, like many perhaps, I have now reached an "equipment plateau" with my D800E, primes, a good simple zoom, flash and tripod and an archival printer. This is a good thing - and one clearly pointed out by Weston - as now, given only so many hours in a day, I can devote more to what counts, photography, and not to gear watching-comparing-buying-learning-fine tuning. I've stopped ebaying and can't yet conceive of any significant purchases beyond a TC. Cameras and lenses have become too darn good at reasonable prices. I suppose I could spring for a carbon fibre tripod, but paying $500+ for a savings of 1kg just isn't justifiable. And even those exotic lenses are now within reach as lens rentals are also much easier to do now than in the past.
Perhaps all we can hope for is that there are enough rampant consumers who don't feel the same way and keep buying to keep the companies we depend on afloat. Sounds crazy, but that's the reality as Nikon has made all the money they will from me for a good few years at least. Now, the only companies who will see my photo dollars are Epson for ink, Moab and Canson for paper and my local framer.

A CRIME ALERT has been posted to the USC Division of Law Enforcement and Safety's website http://ow.ly/6LSUh
Type of Alert:
Assisting Other Agency (Columbia Police Department)
Date and Time:
June 17, 2012 around 2:10 a.m.
900 Block of Sumter Street (803 Hookah Bar Parking Lot)
Suspect Information:
Sex: One male
Race: Black
Vehicle: none
Height: unknown
Weight: unknown
Age: unknown

Other: none
At approximately 2:10 a.m., USCPD received a report of a shooting in the parking lot outside of the 803 Hookah Bar on Sumter St. The suspect shot the victim in the leg and then immediately fled the area on foot eastbound on Pendleton St. The case is being investigated by the Columbia Police Department.
Members of the Carolina Community are encouraged to report suspicious persons or any related crime tips to law enforcement, or CRIMESTOPPERS at 1-888-CRIME-SC. To send anonymous tips via text or online, go to www.midlandscrimestoppers.com
Safety Tips:
- Travel on major sidewalks along major streets and avoid shortcuts. Well lit and well-traveled routes are best.
- The University has and encourages the use of several available shuttle services for transportation to and around campus such as the Evening Shuttle, Late Night Shuttle, APO, and others. Please go to http://www.sc.edu/vmps/shuttle.html for more information.
- Have a plan before going out. Make sure your friends know not to leave you alone or let you leave anywhere with someone other than the friends you came with. Stay in a group as much as possible.
- The best mode of travel is by vehicle but if you do choose to walk, travel in large groups and never alone. The larger the group of people you are with, the better (four or more is best).
- Be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts. If a place or situation doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. Leave.
- If you feel unsafe or see suspicious activity or persons, seek safety in a well-populated area or building and call the police immediately by dialing 911.

The suspects, members of the Gonos family, own the Dianna's Deli restaurants in Perkins Township and Port Clinton, as well as the Depot Family Restaurant in Sandusky.
Armed with assault rifles and a search warrant, agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the U.S. Border Patrol and the Department of Homeland Security-Office of Inspector General stormed the family's $671,000 home at 858 Crosstree Lane at about 8:30 a.m.
Haralambos Gonos, 52; Andreas Gonos, 28; Chris Gonos, 31; Kryiakos Gonos, 30; and Sofia Skoura, 52, all of Crosstree Lane, were all indicted in U.S. Federal Court on charges of conspiracy to structure financial transactions to evade filing currency transaction reports and conspiracy to structure financial transactions to evade filing form 8300.
In short, the indictment alleges they were making cash deposits of less than $10,000 apiece to dodge federal laws on reporting banking transactions.
According to the indictment, investigators are now trying to seize about $1.5 million in assets from the family, including two high-end sports cars.
Haralambos, owner of the Dianna's Deli restaurants and the Depot restaurant, was indicted alongside Skoura on an additional single count of conspiracy to engage in bulk cash smuggling.
A caravan of about 14 unmarked federal vehicles screeched down Crosstree Lane shortly after dawn, stopping outside the Gonos home, where agents jumped out with guns drawn and surrounded the place, witnesses said.
"I was just sitting here and all of a sudden all these cars come speeding down the street," neighbor Neal Sabino said. "They came loaded for bear — flack jackets and all."
When Neal and his wife, Nancy Sabino, went out to check on the commotion, agents ordered them to go back inside.
"Then this big guy with a SWAT uniform, holding an M16, said, 'Please, go back in your house,'" Sabino said. "I'm just amazed. That kind of stuff isn't supposed to happen around here."
Agents went into the home and quickly emerged with a woman. Border Patrol agents escorted the woman to an SUV, then drove her away from the scene.
Sabino said he never knew the Gonos to be violent or troublesome.
"They just kind of kept to themselves," he said.
Still, there was one thing kind of strange, Nancy recalled. Almost every summer before the family headed back to their native Greece, a large shipping container would appear in front of the the Gonos home. The container would sit there for a few weeks. Then, just as it appeared, it'd be gone, she said.
Erie County commissioner Bill Monaghan, who lives two doors down from the Gonos family, said he left at about 7 a.m. Monday and noticed two Border Patrol SUVs parked outside the neighborhood.
"I was thinking, 'I wonder what these guys are doing over here," he said.
He soon had his answer. When he returned home about an hour later, there were about a dozen cars parked outside the Gonos home.
"Texas license plates, Illinois license plates, Michigan license plates," Monaghan said.
According to a federal indictment released by the U.S. Attorney's Office, Haralambos and Skoura got busted by U.S. Customs agents in January at Detroit Metro Airport, carrying a total of $14,736 between the two of them. They were trying to board a flight to Amsterdam. Federal law demands travelers carrying more than $10,000 report it at customs.
The federal indictment lists dozens of transactions in 2007, 2008 and 2009, most in amounts ranging from about $2,000 to $9,500. The indictment alleges "all of the Gonos family members regularly 'skim' cash generated from their restaurants, which they have used for personal purposes."
"Since 2005, the members of the Gonos family have made over 200 deposits totaling over $1.8 million in cash at numerous financial institutions," the indictment states.
While depositing money into a bank account isn't a crime, the method the Gonos family used to deposit their money was criminal, the indictment states.
Federal law requires banks to report any deposit over $10,000. The Gonos made multiple deposits under $10,000 over a short period of time in order to avoid mandatory reporting, according to the indictment. Federal investigators said the deposits amounted to tax evasion.
Dianna's Deli in Perkins Township was still taking orders at 7 p.m. Monday.
It's unclear if all five family members have been arrested and, if so, where they're being held. U.S. Attorney spokesman Mike Tobin did not return multiple voicemails left Monday at his office.

http://whyy.org/blogs/itsourcity/2009/0 ... relations/
How many of you even knew about this? Do you think this makes disc golf look good? For the amount we pay we get nothing in return. How can the word corruption not come to mind?

grease wrote:I wouldn't, however, give the ADGO so much credit for making it happen.

grease wrote:I got that from your original post, Lewis, you were questioning if and why the ADGO gave 10g to the PDGA. I should have said that the contirbution is shown as having come from the ADGO, but it actually should have been listed as "Disc Golfers of Georgia". That was all and not ragging on the ADGO,Keith, or making anything cheap or sleazy. Sorry if it was perceived that way.
Lewis wrote:Careful where you're putting your quotes there, Keith. I'm not trying to give or rescind any credit or blame. I was just asking to have a rumor cleared up. If the ADGO was thought to have donated $$$$$ (five figures) to the PDGA for their general treasury (which according to Dollar is currently swimming in cash) to no particular purpose, rather than to a particular project to support a particular course, it would make me want to ask why the ADGO was funding the big national organization so much more generously than the local scene. Your explanation was very helpful, especially if this rumor pops up again.
richardhead wrote:I'm pretty sure there was tons of money donated outside of ADGO Member Events. In fact, the first time I heard about this was at the 05' Sequoyah Wide Open (R.I.P). I'm certain the ADGO was not the driving force behind all of this, but Gator certainly appreciated the help!

text: TARANIS Taranis roll out   Taranis is an unmanned combat aircraft system (UCAS) advanced technology demonstrator programme. We're striving for the pinnacle of UK engineering and aeronautical design with the concept aircraft Taranis. The aim of the Taranis concept is to see if a stealthy unmanned aircraft capable of striking targets (with a human operator in the loop) with real precision at long range is possible. What the project will definitely achieve is to add to the understanding of strategic Unmanned Combat Aircraft Systems (UCAS), through the demonstration of relevant technologies and their integration into a representative Unmanned Air Vehicle system (UAV). And this groundbreaking work will give the UK MOD a wealth of evidence on the potential capabilities of this class of Unmanned Air Vehicle. This will help it make decisions on the future mix of manned and unmanned fast jet aircraft. Named after the Celtic God of Thunder, Taranis will explore and demonstrate how emerging technologies and systems can deliver battle-winning capabilities for the UK Armed Forces incorporating both an autonomous and survivable Unmanned Air Vehicle System (UAV) concept design. Any future in-service systems based on such a concept design will be under the command of highly skilled ground based operators who will also be able to remotely pilot the aircraft. About the size of a BAE Systems Hawk Jet, Taranis is jointly funded by the UK MOD and UK industry and is managed by the UK MOD's Unmanned Air Systems Project Team in the Defence Equipment and Support Organisation based in Bristol. Taranis was formally unveiled at a ceremony in July 2010. Initial ground testing commenced in 2010. BAE Systems formed a teaming arrangement combining Rolls-Royce, the Systems division of GE Aviation (formerly Smiths Aerospace) and QinetiQ to work alongside UK MOD military staff and scientists to develop and fly Taranis. BAE Systems, as prime contractor, will provide many elements of the Taranis technology demonstrator, including the low observability, systems integration, control infrastructure and full autonomy elements (in partnership with QinetiQ). In addition to the existing industry partners, the project has also engaged a significant number of other UK suppliers who will provide supporting technology and components.

"A simple dessert using pumpkin and yellow cake mix. Watch out, pumpkin pie!!!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale

Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (18.25 ounce) package
yellow cake mix
3/4 cup
white sugar
1/2 cup
vegetable oil
1 cup
1/4 cup
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
As with the other's who reviewed this cake I made some alterations following their lead. I reduced the sugar to 2/3 cup; used a 15 oz can of pumpkin and added 1/2 tsp. of Nutmeg. I baked mine in a bundt cake pan for approx 45 minutes. I then made a glaze using 1 oz of cream cheese, 1/2 stick butter, 2 cups powdered sugar and milk; spooned it over the top and let it slide down the sides. I made it for Boss's Day and everyone is going crazy over it and how moist it is. I will be making this again and again! Thanks!!
it was ok - used 1/2 sugar, applesauce instead of oil and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon
219 Ratings
I decreased the sugar to 1/2 cup and used a whole can of pumpkin like others suggested. I also used 2 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp cloves, for great results! I baked it in a bundt pan and it probably baked for 45 minutes, then I made a glaze of powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. My co-workers raved about it, and my students devoured the rest!
This cake was superb. It was moist, tender, light, rose high in the pan, and kept well. No frosting is needed. However, for more spicyness, I added 1 extra tsp. cinnamon, 1 tsp. ground ginger, and 1/2 tsp. ground cloves (pumpkin pie spices). A great all-around spice cake. Thanks!
My husband has asked for this cake over and over again since I made it. He LOVES it. This is a 5 star with the following tweaks....I used a whole can of pumpkin, reduced the sugar to barely 1/2 cup and added 1 tsp pumpkin pie seasoning, 1 tsp nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp cloves. It turned out just right. I used a bundt pan and baked 45 minutes. I topped it with a cream cheese frosting. I will continue to make this every year.
Very easy and delicious.I added a little nutmeg ,a 15 oz can of pumpkin instead of 1 cup and 5 more min. to cooking time. Try cream cheese icing or french vanilla cool whip, both are wonderful. I will add this cake to my dessert menu for Thanksgiving.
This was an AWESOME cake!! It was a huge success, my husband even said it might be the best cake he ever had! A friend said that she always thinks of pumpkin desserts as heavy, but this isn't. I used egg whites instead of whole eggs. A serving suggestion: I swirled a non-fat caramel syrup on the plate, placed a slice of cake on top, dusted with powdered sugar and added a dollop of fat free frozen whipped topping for good measure. MMMMM!!!
I don't care much for pumpkin, but this recipe is out of this world - just add a homemade cream cheese frosting.

What do firefighters do? I mean, obviously they fight fires. But stuff isn't always on fire! And you can't train 24/7, can you?We had an in-flight emergency the other day, and firefighters are required to respond. While we were waiting for the all clear, all of us in the end of runway group realized that we don't know what firefighters do when not responding to ground emergencies/fires.
This completely seem like a stupid question, but I can't decide if it's stupid because 'of course' or 'NO!'Can I just scoop from the cat pan into the toilet (that is right next to it, and has been for a year. And this is the first time this has occurred to me)?I use Feline Pine litter (compressed sawdust pellets).I have a septic tank (not sewer)If the answer is 'no', anyone have advice for keeping the poo from stinking until garbage day? 1) I have an over active gag trigger 2) Florida is having a rather warm winter, and the rest of the year is warm anyway...anywhere I put the little bags, it stews and marinates, and the smell expands to fill all available space....Eta septic info
New topic:Tonight it is supposed to get well below freezing which is essentially the first time this winter. I currently have a 12 pack of diet sodas in my car which will be parked in the garage. I want to take them to work tomorrow.Do you think I need to bring the sodas inside or will the car/garage keep them safe from freezing? It will be around 16 degrees tonight. Will the car and garage provide that much protection?(16 degrees DOES seem awful cold!)
How does one "shop" for a financial adviser? I always thought I could save without help, but I could really use some help in figuring out how to budget things. How can you tell a good one from a bad one? What are important things for which to look?
afbluebelle wrote:"What do firefighters do? I mean, obviously they fight fires. But stuff isn't always on fire! And you can't train 24/7, can you?"Most "firefighters" are really emergency response people, and they handle stuff that requires heavy equipment in most towns. So, they not only respond to fires, they respond to other stuff like car or boating accidents, natural disasters like mudslides or flooding, non-fire emergencies like someone trapped in a drain/stuck on a roof/caught in a structure collapse and lots of other stuff of that nature. That said, training does take up a reasonably large amount of their time because they're not just training to put out fires. Learning how to cut a car open with the Jaws of Life takes time, for example. Maintaining their equipment also takes up a lot of time. They don't "wash the fire truck" every week just because they like it shiny, it's also to test all of the pumps and safety systems and make sure the truck runs and the hoses work and the gear is sorted and the oxygen tanks are filled and prepped and so on. When they're not doing the job or training (or dealing with the upkeep of the job like paperwork or keeping the station), they do whatever they care to do while being ready to drop it all and respond to a call.Virg
Betelnut, the ultimate easy test for you is to go into your garage sometime when the weather is well below freezing. If you can't see your breath, or if you don't have to scrape your windows when your car is in the garage, it's not likely that the inside temperature is below freezing.Virg
I've known forest firefighters who do anything and everything when the weather isn't conducive to fires. One guy I know told me that he and his crew planted the town's flower boxes one spring when they started the season and there was little to no chance they'd get called out. They didn't mind; it was better than sitting around.A coworker's husband works forest fire crew. He hates being on 'Red Alert' because it means they have to be at the base 24/7, can't go anywhere or even do a whole lot. Playing cards gets old fast.Taking away the soap opera aspects of everyone sleeping with everyone else , I would think 'Chicago Fire' is reasonably accurate - they sit around, watching the game on TV, cooking, talking, going through the gear, etc., and drop everything when the bell rings.
squeakers wrote:"Under 32 degrees liquids freeze. Diet soda is very similar to water so will freeze near the same temp (30-32 degrees).. regular soda can stand temps a bit chillier but at 16 degrees will probably freeze too."There are two things at work here that can change the situation. Firstly, an enclosed garage that has contact with a house will generally not drop to the ambient outside temperature unless the door is open, so in 16 degree weather the interior of the garage is not likely to be nearly that cold. Also, if you'll pardon the pun there are degrees of freezing to consider. Soda in a can has to freeze hard, crystallizing all the way through to expend enough to deform the can or damage it. Very near its freezing temperature, soda (even diet soda) tends to be slushy because it doesn't freeze uniformly until it's well below its base freezing temperature. So given these two things, I wouldn't be concerned that soda in the car would freeze hard enough to burst.Betelnut, the ultimate easy test for you is to go into your garage sometime when the weather is well below freezing. If you can't see your breath, or if you don't have to scrape your windows when your car is in the garage, it's not likely that the inside temperature is below freezing.Virg

After a well-received European release last year, Invariable Heartache -- a classic country-inspired collaboration between Nashville indie rock names Kurt Wagner (Lambchop) and Cortney Tidwell -- will finally be available Stateside on February 8.
Heartache features the pair taking on tunes from the catalog of Chart Records, a Nashville label with lots of family ties: Tidwell's grandfather ran it, her father did A&R and the label also released recordings by her mother, country singer Connie Eaton.
The album's backing band includes Lambchop and Tidwell band personnel, and was recorded by producer Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Lambchop) and Todd Tidwell.
After the jump, watch Wagner and Tidwell tell Heartache's story in a mini-documentary from the album's label, City Slang.

Jason Heyward
It's between Stanton and Heyward because they are both more complete players. Montero isn't going to stay at catcher

Jesus Montero doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Jason Heyward or Mike Stanton.
Heyward and Stanton are top 2 prospects. Montero MIGHT be top 20 in MLB.

Buccaneer Football falls to No. 22 Furman, 30-10
Saturday, October 25, 2003GREENVILLE, S.C. (Oct. 25, 2003) -- East Tennessee State had trouble capatilizing on opportunities early in the second half, while Furman scored 13 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to defeat the Bucs 30-10 from Paladin Stadium in Greenville, S.C. Furman's Josh Stepp, a redshirt freshman quarterback making only his second career start, completed 10-of-14 passes, including a 21-yard scoring strike to Brian Bratton, and later added a 21-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter to pace Furman (5-3, 3-2 SoCon) to its third straight triumph over East Tennessee State (3-5, 0-4 SoCon). The contest represented the final meeting between the two schools following East Tennessee State's decision to terminate its football program following the season. Furman claimed the all time series 23-7. �My hats off to Paul Hamilton," said Furman head coach Bobby Lamb. "He's doing a great job with that team. They could have quit at any time today, but they hung in there and battled us all the way. I thought our defense, however, was the difference. They came up big, and our offense finally came through with some points in the second half. Josh Stepp grew up a lot today. He made plays with his arm and his legs." "I felt like our team could come in here and compete and have a chance to win," said East Tennessee State head coach Paul Hamilton. "I really think five or six plays today determined the game. We gave up too many third and longs, and offensively we had a lot of chances to score but didn't capitalize." Both teams traded field goals to open the contest before Furman used a fumble recovery by Mike Killian at the Buccaneer 21 to set up the game's first touchdown. A 1-yard plunge by fullback Brandon Berry with only seven seconds left in the first quarter gave the Paladins a 10-3 lead. In the second quarter Furman extended its advantage to 17-3 when Stepp, on a third down and 14-play, connected with Bratton for a 21-yard touchdown strike at the 11:26 mark. ETSU sophomore safety Primus Glover's (Springfield, Ga.) fumble recovery on the second half kickoff gave East Tennessee State the ball at the Furman 26, but the Buccaneers failed to convert the scoring opportunity when, on a fourth-and-one play at the Paladin 3, Cam Newton stopped Buccaneer senior slotback Andrew Nuckolls (Dalton, Ga.) for no gain. Two possessions later Glover's second fumble recovery of the contest and 22-yard return gave ETSU the ball at the Furman 15, but the Buccaneers failed to score again when a bad snap from center on a 31-yard field goal attempt was downed at the Furman 39. Later in the quarter the Buccaneers finally cashed in on a Furman miscue, taking advantage of a 14-yard punt to the Paladin 30. Turning to senior running back Gaven Varner (Summerville, S.C.) for six consecutive rushes, East Tennessee State covered the 30 yards in eight plays for a touchdown, which came on a 1-yard plunge by Varner on a fourth-and-goal play to make it 17-10 with 14:05 to go. Furman responded with a 57-yard kickoff return by Daric Carter to the Buccaneer 23, and four plays later Danny Marshall converted his second field goal of the contest, a 38-yard effort, to increase the Furman advantage to 20-10. Two possessions later Furman took control of the game. A Stepp 35-yard pass to Bratton to the ETSU 45 was followed by back-to-back completions to Isaac West covering 10 and 16 yards. Two plays later Stepp scrambled up the middle 21 yards and into the end zone to complete a five-play, 80-yard drive that gave the Paladins a 27-10 lead at the 4:08 mark. A sack and fumble recovery by Travis Jones at the East Tennessee State 13 led to a Marshall 20-yard field goal � his third of the game � at the 1:45 juncture. Redshirt freshman Scott Butler (Kingsport, Tenn.) and Carl Meadows (Cumming, Ga.) split time at quarterback, with Butler going 7-for-11 with 56 yards and Meadows going 6-of-15 with 52 yards through the air. Varner led the Bucs with 19 carries for 48 yards, while Nuckolls had 39 yards on three rushes. Varner also led the team in receiving, hauling in four passes for 29 yards. Redshirt freshman linebacker Mike Cullen (Roswell, Ga.) led the Bucs in tackles with 10 as senior linebacker Matt Palmer (Summerton, S.C.) and senior safety Montreal Harkley (Hanahan, S.C.) each had nine stops. Palmer had five tackles for a loss, giving him 18.5 on the season. He is just 2.5 short of the school record, set by James Russell in 1994 and matched by Derek Fudge in 1996. As a whole, the Buccaneer defense had 12 tackles for a loss this afternoon. East Tennessee State will return home to host Georgia Southern next Saturday in a 1:00 p.m. game from Memorial Center in Johnson City, Tenn.

"This authentic spaghetti and meatballs recipe is made with fresh oregano and parsley. Because the meatballs are cooked in the sauce, they are tender and savory."

3 tablespoons

4 cloves
garlic, minced
2 (16 ounce) cans

3 (6 ounce) cans

1 cup
1/2 cup
1/4 cup
chopped fresh oregano, divided

salt and pepper to taste
1 pound
ground round
1/2 cup
Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup
chopped fresh parsley
eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup

1 (16 ounce) package
uncooked spaghetti
There are MANY reviews/suggestions of this sauce...I read ALL of them...here they are summed up for easy viewing: 1. Omit 3 cans tomato paste for 1 can tomato paste and 1 can tomato sauce (I used 15oz can). 2. Omit 1/2 cup of sugar for 1/4 cup sugar if you like it a little sweet, or just 2 TBSP sugar if you cant tolerate much. 3. Omit 1 cup of water and add 2 cups of water instead. Some modifications that I personally made, which doesnt reflect what other reviewers have said, is using this Hot n' Spicy seasoning salt I found in my pantry...found the original recipe a little bland...this salt kicks it up a little (cajun seasoning should work just as well). I also read the reviews of how the meat, when baked directly in the sauce, can make it oily...I went ahead and bought meat that contained 7% fat (the already packaged stuff) and the sauce turned out perfect.
The meatballs were really good but the sauce was way to sweet. Use alot less sugar and maybe one less can of the tomato paste. I made it as is will use the meatball recipe again.
767 Ratings
This rating is for the meatballs only. I used oatmeal instead of crumbs, but that is just preference. I can't believe how tender these come out when cooked in the sauce. Ingenious! Here's a tip I learned about meatballs... instead of rolling out each tedious one, try rolling a handfull of meat into a 1" thick rope and then cutting the rope into 1/2-1" lengths. Much faster!
I decided to give this recipe a try today, and I'm very glad I did. I followed the recipe, except for these changes based on the other reviews I read...I used only 3 tablespoons sugar, added an additonl cup water (my family likes a more gravy like sauce, not too thick) and browned the meatballs in a bit of oil a bit...I also added a good chunk of pepperoni stick (old trick by my mom) and a half pound of beef stew chunks, browned as well, and simmered the whole thing for about 6 hours...Other than those changes, I follwed the recipe...:) The gravy came out phenomenal, and the whole family is looking forward to having it tomorrow as well (italian food is better the day after) So thank you Jenn, for a great recipe that can be easily tweaked to personal preference!
Edited to add: I've now used this recipe a half dozen times to great success and reviews...I now double the batch and freeze half, and it keeps VERY well in the deep freeze for up to two months. All in all now my gold standard recipe to use for sauce and meatballs, NEVER again will I buy premade stuff!
This was fantastic. I actually made many changes. I didn't make the sauce and just used the recipe for the meatballs. I made a pot of sauce (combination of store-bought jars)and I mixed the meatballs and made them into 2 inch balls. I baked them at 350 for 20 minutes. If you decide to do this do it in a casserole dish and not on a cookie sheet. The grease from the ground beef dribbled into the bottom of my oven and was a mess. After baking them I put them in the sauce and added sweet italian sausage cut up into pieces. I brought it to a boil and then simmered for about an hour and a half. It was delish. My family raved about the whole meal especially the meatballs. I served it with wheat pasta and garlic bread. Very good.
My husband and I really enjoyed these meatballs and sauce. They were very tender- sometimes my meatballs can be tough. Cooking them in the sauce must be the key. I cut way back on the sugar- only about a Tbsp. as we don't like sweet sauce. Also, I had to use dried oregano as my grocery store was out of fresh. I'm sure the fresh oregano would only improve these even more. I cooked these on low in my crockpot for about 7 hours. I think they'd make great meatball grinders. The sauce is nice and thick. It would sit well on a grinder roll. We were scooping every last bit off our plates with our garlic bread!
Great spaghetti sauce - if you cut back on the sugar that is.... I cut it back to 3 Tbsp. and that was about right for us. I also used 2 cans of tomato paste and one 8 oz. can of tomato sauce. Instead of 1 cup of water I used half water and half red wine. I didn't have fresh oregano so I used 1 Tbsp. of dried and added a few more spices: 2 tsp. of dried basil, 1/4 tsp. of red pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp. of salt along with the bay leaf. I let it simmer on low for 6 hours. I didn't make the meatballs so this review is for the sauce only. I used "The Best Meatballs" from this site.
When I told my carnivore hubby that I was making penne with marinara sauce he got upset and said "what, no meat?" so I turned to allrecipes and found this excellent recipe!! I just poured my jar of marinara sauce in a saucepan, followed these instructions for meatballs, plopped them in the sauce, and dinner was done in 40 minutes! These meatballs were very tender and easy to make with ingredients I had on hand. I will definitely make again.

Red is the color of the heart, and has a long and storied association with themes of passion, seduction and romantic love. Ironically, when it comes down to the actual "birds and bees," bees can't see red at all. They leave red flowers to be pollinated by butterflies, birds and the capricious winds. Simply put, some just aren't into red.
Red rooms rarely go unnoticed in the home, however, especially ones with tufted, crushed velvet crimson sofas set against walls painted in a compelling shade of pink. You can use the color red to communicate a broad range of ideas or moods, from confidence and good fortune to energy and creativity. But before you go and paint the town and everything in it red, we found some red rooms you might want to take a few cues from.

I made cranberry wine about 10 weeks ago and did not use pectic enzyme. Is it to late to add it or must it be put in at the start?
Take the 2-minute tour ×

Pectic enzyme is most effective when added before fermentation starts. Once there are ethanols present the pectic enzyme will still work but will take longer to be effective.

1. They may be able to stay open as late as March.
2. They hope to reopen in a new location nearby.

For the second year in a row, the Fairfax County Sheriff�s Office has received a donation to its Shop with a Sheriff Program: $1,000 from Montessori of Chantilly — Casa dei Bambini.
Each year, the kindergarten class creates several pieces of art under the guidance of the art teacher. The pieces then are auctioned rather than returned to the students, and proceeds benefit a charitable program.
�Auctioning the students� works of art to benefit a charitable cause is a great way to teach our children how to care about the community,� said school director Deepa Simlot. �We want the children to have a sense of empathy.�
The annual Shop with a Sheriff program takes place before school starts. Children from the Katherine K. Hanley and Patrick Henry family shelters pair up with Sheriff�s deputies to purchase school supplies and clothes at the Target store in Burke.
Since 1992, the Burke Target has been the primary sponsor of this program. In recent years, Costco, Capital One Bank and Panera have added their support.
Erbrecht named principal of Daniels Run

Erbrecht earned a master�s degree in school administration from the University of Virginia in 2006. He served as assistant principal at Colin Powell Elementary School for three years before moving to Providence Elementary School in the city of Fairfax, working with Principal Jesse Kraft.
"The city of Fairfax School Board is delighted Adam will stay in the Fairfax pyramid and join the Daniels Run faculty,� said Janice Miller, chairman of that school board.
Erbrecht assumes his new responsibilities July 1.
Local author releases book on Kindle
McLean author Alianna Maren, who writes under the name Alay�nya, has made her second book, �Unveiling: The Inner Journey,� available to Kindle readers.
She published the paper version of the book in July 2011 and released the e-book version in May. It took second place in the Kindle nonfiction self-help subcategory, �Personal Transformation,� during a two-day free-book promotion last month.
�Almost 1,200 people took advantage of the free e-book download,� said Maren, an entrepreneur who coaches other authors in various stages of book development. A former professor at Georgetown, George Mason and Marymount universities, Maren has a doctorate in physical chemistry.
�Unveiling: The Inner Journey� is a �life-roadmap book,� according to Maren, for women moving beyond the time when their lives are dominated by children�s needs, and when they have already achieved some career stability and success.

Fluoride, either applied topically to erupted teeth, or ingested orally (called systemic fluoride) during tooth development, helps to prevent tooth decay. It also strengthens tooth enamel, and reduces the harmful effects of plaque. Fluoride also makes the entire tooth structure more resistant to decay and promotes remineralization, which aids in repairing early decay before the damage is even visible.
The most common sources for fluoride are tap water and toothpastes.
Topical fluoride
Products containing mild (available over-the-counter) or strong (by prescription) concentration of fluoride (for example, toothpastes or mouth rinses)
When your child's first tooth appears, begin brushing his or her teeth using a very small amount of fluoride toothpaste, about the size of a grain of rice.
At about age 3, use a pea-size amount of toothpaste.
Rinses should not be used in children under 6 years old.
Fluoridated varnishes and/or gels either topically applied by a dentist or other health care professional.
These may be applied every 3 to 6 months beginning when the first tooth appears.
Systemic fluoride
Public and private water supplies
Prescription supplements
Other sources include teas, soft drinks, and some bottled water
Once ingested, systemic fluoride is absorbed via the gastrointestinal tract and distributed and deposited throughout the body via the blood supply.
It is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry that children between the ages of 6 months and 16 years have some form of fluoride every day.
If your child's primary source of tap water is not fluoridated, your child's health care provider or dentist may prescribe fluoride supplements. These come either as drops or tablets that are taken by mouth. The amount of fluoride that is prescribed is based on the child's age and amount of fluoride in the drinking water.
If your child mainly drinks bottled water, talk with your dentist about using a product that contains fluoride. Most children still get enough fluoride from brushing and eating food prepared with tap water.
In general, fluoride consumption is safe. Health risks associated with fluoridation are usually limited to misuse and over concentration. To avoid misuse and over concentration:
Avoid swallowing toothpaste and other dental hygiene products.
Keep toothpaste out of young children's reach. Make sure you help your child with tooth-brushing until he or she is 7 to 8 years old.
Call the local water department and/or the health department to find out the fluoride level in your local drinking water.
Children are especially vulnerable to dental fluorosis as their developing teeth are more sensitive to higher fluoride levels. Fluorosis only occurs in developing teeth, not those that have already erupted. Consult your child's doctor or dentist if you notice changes in the condition of your child's teeth.

Most over-rated 2 movies ever made.
Most over-rated 2 movies ever made.
Lip Balm?
I saw this at the Midnight release . . . I think it is right there with part 1 . . . but is LOADS funnier if you have watched part 1. I have seen reviews stating you "don't" need to watch part one to enjoy Hangover 2 . . . I think that is BS . . . being that the film is based on the same format as part 1. The definitely took it up another level on this one, and they made Bangkok, Thailand look like the ultimate hell hole
