Best bread recipe EVER. With this recipe, my husband thinks I'm an awesome breadmaster! Actually thanks to my breadmaker and this recipe, I feel like the bread master! The only changes that I did was used bread flour and skim milk. I forgot to brush the tops with butter but it doesn't need it. Try it if you want a tender, soft, buttery roll. I made hot dog buns with half of the dough and the other half is sitting in the freezer.. Don't know if I'll make rolls or cinnamon rolls next...
I agree these need 10 stars, I made them for Thanksgiving and I was sooo happy !!!! Thank You so much for sharing...I appreciate it.
These deserve 10 stars. Everyone loves them. I am constantly printing the recipe for people.
These rolls are delicious and easy to make. My family has made them several times. Thanks for posting such a great recipe!
I actually made these at Easter but wanted to try then again as the first time mine also didnt rise like I thought they should. I just made them again this weekend and used 1/2 bread flour and 1/2 regular flour and it worked like a dream. These are very tender and slightly sweet and they freeze beautifully. Thanks for a great recipe Roxy!
With the bread machine, these tender rolls are so quick to put together. Perfect for holidays or weekday dinners. Dough is very easy to work with and the butterhorn rolls simple to shape. Great tip about the pizza cutter. Would be perfect for kids to make or help with. I've made these a couple of times now and everyone enjoys them. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Roxygirl!
These rolls have a wonderful taste, its just they didn't rise for me as good as I thought they would. I don't know if it was my bread machine or if I done something wrong while putting the mix in the pan. My bread machine was making weird noises so I am thinking it didn't go thru the process good. I will be giving this recipe a try again. They are really tasty. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
These were FANTASTIC! I must admit that I made a few changes though. I added 2 tablespoons more milk. I originally started by using my machine recipe which called for 7/8 then I switched to this one. I also added less sugar, more like 1/4 for personal preference. Lastly, I used bread flour. I used olive oil for the oil bit. The dough came out perfect. Not too dry, not too wet.literally perfect. I added garlic to my butter topping and the kids gobbled them down. The were so fluffy and yummy. I just had to register to give this 5 stars. Best bread recipe I've tried to date.
I had to sign up just to say thank you. I have been searching for this recipe and the cookbook from which it came for years! My sister gave me the book in 1995. I made these rolls all the time. She passed in 1997 and making these rolls reminded me of her! We had a house fire in 1999 and the book was lost to me! I could specifically remember the title or the recipe. Finally saw a pic of the book today by chance and knew it was it! Then searching I read your post about these rolls. After looking at the recipe I knew I had found it! I can't wait to make these for my family this Thanksgiving! Again, thank you so much!
This recipe was a series of firsts for me: First Time using an Online Recipe, First Time using the dough cycle on my bread machine. It turned out exactly how it was described, and there were no surprises - except how good they were! All of the rolls disappeared in an hour - no leftovers for me!! I intend on using the dough again, this time for a stuffed crust pizza dough :) Thank you.

A Momentary Retreat on the Battlefield at Petersburg
I had the privilege of witnessing a reenactment of the US Civil War battle at Petersburg today at Prado Regional Park. In this shot, the Union troops are making a hasty retreat. They quickly formed up again and return fire on the advancing Confederate soldiers with a Gatlin gun. As was the case in the past, they won the battle again today.
I'm sunburned and tired and will visit your photo streams first thing in am.

A W-band transformer-based injection-locked frequency tripler (T-ILFT) is designed and implemented in 65 nm standard CMOS technology using a 0.8 V supply voltage. The use of injection locking topology with on-chip transformer provides several advantages over conventional design. Occupying an chip area of 0.089 mm2 (including buffers), the T-ILFT achieves an input sensitivity of -15 dBm and a continuous locking range from 85 to 95.2 GHz with 4 dBm input power. The measured phase noise degradation from that of the input signal source is only 9.8dB at 1MHz offset. The harmonic suppressions for the first and second harmonics are measured to be 32.9 dB and 38.5 dB, respectively. The power consumption is only 5.2 mW for T-ILFT and 14.6 mW for output buffers. To the authors' best knowledge, this T-ILFT achieves the highest operation frequency for injection-locked-based frequency multipliers, reported to date.

adding beads to your knitting
I have been making a lot of knit shawls using lots of beads and I was so exasperated with using the smallest (size 14-16) crochet hooks that really made a mess of the loop of yarn. I have some 8 pound test vinyl/plastic fishing line and I cut about a 10 inch length and then thread it through the loop of yarn on the needle, slip st off, fold fishing line in half, add the bead, slide it down and onto the yarn, slip st back onto needle and knit. This 8 pound test fish line is good for size 6/0 and 8/0, haven't tried a smaller bead but I'm sure if it's too big, you can get smaller plastic fish line. I tried the tiger tail jewelry wire and it works almost as good as the plastic fish line.
Thanks for this tip. Yes, those small crochet hooks can be a pain to use. Not often I get to go to the tackle store for my next beaded sweater.
adding beads to your knitting
I discovered that if the fishing line is about 20 inches or longer you can tie a knot in one end, put 20-30 beads on it then just fold over about 2 inches of the other end and hook the loop on your left needle, let one bead slide down and over the folded other end, slide the bead onto your loop remove the fishing wire and continue on to where your next bead needs to be placed.
I used the "carry them on the yarn method" was kind of annoying. I heard of a tool on Etsy called the Fleegle Beader:
Is this difficult to do? I haven't added beads to my knitting before, but it's definitely been something I've thought about doing.
Where do most of you go to find beads? What type of beads do you recommend getting & NOT getting?
Not difficult to incorporate beads at all. It takes a little time and planning, whichever way you choose to do it but it's fun to try a project with some added beads. Here's a beads 101 that may help.
adding beads to your knitting
It's not difficult. At first, I put them down the center of the shawl and along each edge Just look at your pattern and decide where you want beads. I use 8/0 and 6/0 seed beads. There are a bunch of places to get your beads. I get mine on Ebay since I loaned my car out last year and haven't gotten it back yet. JoAnn Fabrics and Michaels have beads. Go ahead and try it. You never learn anything new if you don't try.
I think I'm going to try one day. I'm just so afraid that I'll buy the wrong beads & end up screwing up my project & wasting my money. :rofl:
You could try a simple pattern, say for a scarf. Use the weight yarn called for and the beads that are specified in the pattern.

That'll eliminate some guesswork and give you experience with beading.

The Premier League Latics were held to a goalless draw by the lowest-ranked side left in the tournament, with the Bantams winning the shoot-out 4-2.
It was not the only upset of the round, as Championship Middlesbrough moved into the quarter-finals at the expense of local rivals Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
Scott McDonald was handed a start by Boro boss Tony Mowbray after he scored both of the goals in last weekend's 2-1 Championship win over Bolton from the bench, and the Australian scrambled the ball home from six yards at the near post late in the first half.
It was enough for Middlesbrough to progress as Sunderland lacked the cutting edge that has seen them draw six of their eight Premier League games so far this season.
Southampton were unable to find sanctuary from their Premier League woes, with manager Nigel Adkins' decision to make 11 changes backfiring on him as Leeds secured another top-flight scalp with a 3-0 win.
The Saints have found life tough since leaving the likes of Leeds behind in the Championship in the summer, accruing just four points from a possible 27, and even the bounty of a quarter-final berth could not chivvy them up as goals from Michael Tonge and El-Hadji Diouf, as well as Luciano Becchio's penalty, saw the home side through.
It is not unusual for managers to make changes in this competition - Leeds boss Neil Warnock made four himself - but in view of Southampton's recent struggles, Adkins' choice to rest the entire starting line-up from Sunday's loss to Tottenham, as well as naming an inexperienced bench, looked somewhat strange.
It was not all bad news for Premier League sides though as Aston Villa made the quarters for the third time in four seasons after Christian Benteke scored a late winner against Swindon at the County Ground.
Villa looked to be cruising to victory as goals from Benteke - a £7million summer signing from Genk - and Gabriel Agbonlahor earned them a 2-0 half-time lead.
But the League One side, who had already overcome Stoke in this season's competition, fought back through two goals from substitute Miles Storey before Benteke had the final say.
The one Premier League clash saw Arsenal come from 4-0 down to beat Reading 7-5 after extra-time at the Madejski Stadium.

Hi people out there kdenlive need your help!!!! ;)
The "razor tool" icon still don't looks good .
So please spend just some free time to think about how it could looks like and send your ideas to this or the icon posting.
Any ideas are welcome!!!!!!!
Mon, 06/01/2009 - 18:09
Don't know if this idea is still active :-) But I would suggest renaming the "razor" tool to "add edit point". The idea of using a razor to make any changes in the timeline is actually not needed at all. It adds to many steps. Here is how a segment in the timeline should be removed:
Add inpoint at beginning of segment, add outpoint at end. Press X to delete and close the gap, press Z to delete and leave gap open. In the last case, the in and out points should not be cleared. This way the timeline is ready for a replacement if so decided.
BTW - the icon for add edit on MediaComposer is >|
Mon, 06/01/2009 - 21:40
Perhaps it's unnecessary when removing part of a clip but I find myself using a razor tool in many other circumstances.
Splitting a clip in two, slide the later part and add i clip inbetween for instance. How would I do that with just inpoints?
Mon, 06/01/2009 - 21:51
Very easy. I have been editing on MediaComposer for many years and there is no such thing as a razor there. The razor was a strange thing that Adobe added in Premiere and a lot of people have become used to it in lack of better tools.
First of all, dragging a clip to the timeline should never be allowed :-) It is slow, unprecise and if you work on a big project (or a lot of small ones) it can give you carpal tunnel syndrome VERY fast.
There should be two main ways of adding a clip to the timeline. Splice-in and overwrite.
Park the play marker in the timeline where you want the new clip to start.
Load a new clip in the source viewer.
Mark in and out.
Press the splice-in button.
The clip should start where the play marker is and push the rest of the video to the right
Overwrite would work in the same manner, but instead of pushing the video to the right, it would just overwrite it.
Something analog to this would be pasting a piece of text in the middle of the sentence in a word processor. You do not need to split it. Just place the marker, and paste it in. The rest of the text will be pushed to the right.
This avoids a lot of clicking and when you have to do this a lot, you appreciate every single click that can be eliminated.
BTW - Splice-in should be on V and overwrite should be on B if I could choose :-D
Tue, 06/02/2009 - 05:16
Dragging should be allowed because it is what a lot of people expect. But I definitely agree that there should be other means.
Tue, 06/02/2009 - 05:18
I think that the current razor tool is fine as is, but again welcome additional cutting tools.
I agree the razor tool does not look good because it is scissors and not a razor. :-)
Thu, 06/04/2009 - 05:18
> Dragging should be allowed because it is what a lot of people expect. But I definitely agree that there should be other mean
Sorry, did not mean to imply that it should be removed from Kdenlive :-) Just that the users should be encouraged to use the keyboard as much as possible. Carpal tunnel is not a good thing... I know people that has had to change to different work because of that.

Forget the sports, the Olympic Games is the biggest party on earth. One giant FriendFest. Torino threw an all-night celebration this weekend for some 700,000 people, organizers claimed.
Yep, I missed it.
I've been dreading the call from the Big Boys and Girls at ESPN.com, demanding to know how someone with the job of walking the streets of Torino failed to notice a party attended by almost three quarters of a million people.
Folks, I was very tired and a really big dog was outside my flat. More on that later.
"La notte Olimpica," or Olympic Night, was a sight to behold (I'm told), with museums, shops, bars and institutes open late -- 'til dawn in many cases. Performers included Daddy G from Massive Attack and Italian crooner Paolo Conte. At least, I think he's a crooner. He's world famous in Italy.
"Torinonodorme," or Torino doesn't sleep, was at the Teatro Agnelli. That's not to be confused with the smaller rival event, "Church-does-dorme," a few miles up the road.
Post-party snow fell heavily in the area Sunday, causing havoc with transport and some events. I got stuck up in the mountains, but made new friends in the process. That's the Olympics for you.
Gary Morgan is an Olympian who competed as a speed walker for the U.S. in the 1988 Olympics. He didn't win a medal, but still looks pretty fit to me. His fastest-run marathon -- check this out -- is 2 hours and 35 minutes.
I asked him for some tips in improving my best 5K time, a terrible 22 minutes that I set while trying to impress a beautiful Greek woman on the same track. Gary's best is around 16 minutes. I've got to run much more and do some speed segments, he told me. "No pain, no gain" is as true as it's ever been.
Vladimir Prikupets, 75, was my fave person of the day. A Jew from Ukraine who left for San Francisco 30 years ago, he is that rarest of combinations: A U.S. civil engineer and sports press photographer for Russian newspapers. He's taken part in the Olympic torch relays three times: 1984 Los Angeles, 2002 Salt Lake City and 2004 Athens.
All three torches bear his own inscribed message.
"Second torch I carried in 2002 and, of course, it was a very fresh memory from Sept. 11," Prikupets told ESPN.com. "This is why I put on the torch: Against terrorism, banditism, anti-Semitism all around the world."
His first torch remembered the victims of the Holocaust and the Israeli athletes who died at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Although the snowstorms made it feel like a real Winter Olympics on Sunday, this is still a country full of the carefree Mediterranean spirit. I asked the driver of my private bus if he minded me leaving my bag with a valuable laptop on the vehicle while our tour party went and ate. Sure, no problem, leave it, he said.
In the tavern, much wine and food later, I looked over to another table and there's my driver eating away. I'm glad to report the bag and bus were still there upon our return.
Now, about that dog. We met at my new lodgings, a basement flat in a remote area of Piedmont. Apparently, he's very friendly, but all owners say that, don't they? I just know he's huge and doesn't like me.
Stressful 18-hour days are the norm for many journalists covering these Games. My day, as long as I get through the first 3.5 seconds alive (that's the dash from the flat to the other side of the yard gates) is a doddle.
He'll be waiting for me tonight.
Brian Church is a columnist with the Athens News in Greece. He will be contributing to ESPN.com throughout the Olympics.

Note: As I get ready to publish this message, once again I am being tested on my own words. A very close member of my family has recently been diagnosed with lung cancer and it is tearing my heart out. I am truly broken. But am I going to trust God totally or will I give up and doubt that he will help me and my family in this trial? I am struggling to believe but I know that I have come too far with Christ. He has kept me from being destroyed in every single one of my battles so I am not going to give up now. My eyes are filled with tears but I have them focused on Christ. All things are in his hands and his will is perfect even when I don't understand it. Jesus is coming back soon. There is nothing that you face that will not be made right in his perfect plan for eternity. I pray that you will take that truth to heart in your own life.
I would humbly appreciate your prayers for my loved one.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.(Romans 15:13)
Amidst the chaos of a world that is filled with darkness, it is challenging to focus on the promises of God. In your painful trials, problems can appear insurmountable with the victory through them seemingly unreachable.
The Apostle Paul warned us in 2 Timothy 3 that there will be terrible times in the last days as people become lovers of themselves and not interested in the ways of God. The nightly news is filled with death, destruction and evil as people are turning to their own way of doing things. The enemy is dividing people against each other to cause confusion and doubt and in far too many cases it is working. The hearts of most have abandoned the fear of God. The ways of truth are being blurred by the evil desire of the flesh that is being called "choice". And as Scripture tells us, lawlessness is on the increase as the hearts of most grow cold.
While that is a sad commentary, we are not without hope. There is a place of rest where you can have the peace of Christ despite your struggle. That promise was given by Christ as he said in John 16:33, "I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world." Do you trust that Jesus is true to his word?
Your faith is being tested in every trial you face, but the reward is great to those who do not grow weary and give up. In 2 Kings, the prophet Elisha was surrounded by a great army who wanted to kill him. When Elisha's servant saw the massive army, he grew greatly alarmed. Elisha addressed his fears saying in verse 6, "Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." With that, Elisha prayed for his servant's eyes to be opened and he was amazed to see the mountain full of horses and chariots of fire from God surrounding their enemy. That is the power of God in action. Even now, there is no battle in your life that is stronger than God's ability to take you through it.
Jesus left us the Holy Spirit to help us in our weakness. The same immense power that raised Christ from the dead lives in the heart of of every believer. There is nothing that is able to destroy a child of Christ. All that we face is the driving force bringing us closer to God.
Troubles of this world don't define us. They are the necessary tools to mold us into the image of Christ and perfect us in the plan he has for our life The evangelist A.W. Tozer once wrote: "It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until he has wounded him deeply". Tozer understood that the trials allowed by God are meant to bless and equip the soldier of Christ for victory against the adversary of this perishing world.The believer must die to self in order to have the fullness of God's power. Whatever weakness you hold onto in your life will become the foothold that Satan uses to take you down.
The Apostle Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 4:17″For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison".
No matter how bad your situation seems. you must never lose hope. You have no idea what greatness God has planned for your life. You don't have to feel Christ to know that he is with you. While it is difficult enduring the trials that bring brokenness, God knows the work he must do in your life. He who began a good work in you knows how to complete it. His ways are higher than ours. He knows the length of your days and has your next step prepared for you.
My friends, you need to understand that heaven's royal army is standing by you right now to protect and defend you. God's plan for you cannot be hindered by your heartache,struggle, sickness, addiction, divorce or financial problems. You can't fail. He knew what you would face and the answer to it all is being set into motion even now. His love for you will not stop. Just stand in faith and see what God can do.

If it moves I photograph it, if breaths I photograph it, if it doesn't breath I photograph it and if it doesn't move I photograph it even more. Ok, so my kids are right, I'm obsessed. I never leave home with out it, my camera that is. I've always loved photography but as I've headed into my mid-life crisis period I have begun to open my eyes to more of the wonder around me. Why it took so long I don't know but look out world I have arrived.

February 2013
Dear Friends,
You may have heard that our city is experiencing a major brain gain. San Antonio recently was ranked No. 6 among top U.S. metropolitan areas in attracting young, college-educated people with bachelor's and advanced degrees. Experts say that San Antonio is catching up to Silicon Valley in the innovation economy, and UTSA is playing a big part in that advancement.
Each year, UTSA sends more than 5,000 graduates into the job market, with nearly 70 percent remaining in San Antonio. Our graduates add an estimated $4.8 billion in earnings to the state economy, alone. But, it's not just about the number of students we graduate. It's about being a leader in educating the growing, high-tech workforce needed for the jobs of tomorrow.
This is where community support makes a real difference. Thanks to the financial support from our business community and UTSA friends, we are able to attract expert faculty to UTSA and expose our students to some of the finest scholars in the nation. Our students work side-by-side with these researchers and professors, and graduate ready to meet the needs and strengths of San Antonio: health, cyber security, sustainability, energy, and human and social development.
A perfect example of how financial gifts have a transformational effect on UTSA is the recent gift of $5 million from H-E-B. This watershed gift will support recruiting and retaining world-class faculty, matching other private gifts dollar for dollar. That means, through the generosity of our community, we will be able to provide a total of $10 million for endowed professorships and chairs at UTSA.
With this caliber of faculty, we will move even closer to Tier One status. And, our students will have the opportunity to work with scholars conducting cutting-edge research, creating new businesses that grow our economy and inspiring a new generation of leaders.
It's all the more reason to support our university. I am so grateful for the generosity of H-E-B, the business community and all of you. Your gifts are helping to make San Antonio a nationally recognized center of innovation.
Go Roadrunners!

I have a price list in an external file for easy site-wide updating. I've included the document into my theme's header.php and know it's working because I can echo out a price variable just under the body tag (did it just for testing, of course).
I also have "Allow PHP in Posts and Pages" plugin installed and know it's working because I can echo a string into a page.
But, for some reason, the combination of the two are not working. I cannot echo a price variable from the included price list into a WordPress-generated page.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?

Shakespeare Workshops for Primary Schools
Our shakespeare workshops for schools are aimed at KS1 and KS2. The children require no prior knowledge of the play, in fact we actively encourage teachers not to reveal the story before we arrive. The session is designed to be an interactive workshop whereby the children are encouraged to use their imaginations.
Shakespeare Workshops for Special Educational Needs
FINDING THE WILL has an inclusion policy that actively strives to deliver exciting and educational workshops to all children and young people whatever their disability or impairment. We design bespoke Workshops to ensure that everyone is safe, welcome and able to take part.
Bard Heads
Bard Heads takes an up-dated look at some well-loved characters from six of Shakespeare's most popular plays and imagines what might have happened next. Each 50 minute one man/woman show is full of laughter, tears and quite a few surprises. You will not need to know the parent play or even like Shakespeare to have a good night out!
Demystifying Shakespeare for Students of all Ages
FINDING THE WILL's fervent desire is to show that the plays of Shakespeare are as accessible now as they were four hundred years ago. They are cracking stories full of passion, jealousy, betrayal, love, war and humour – as good as any Hollywood blockbuster movie today.
We demystify Shakespeare making it easy to understand, enjoyable, relevant and, above all else, fun! FINDING THE WILL offers shakespeare workshops for schools and adult groups designed to take the fear out of Shakespeare.
"The legacy has continued in that all the Shakespeare books are permanently out of the library."
Year 6 Teacher, Nursteed Community Primary, Devizes
"Truly inspirational stuff!! It's been wonderful to see the impact on all children. Quiet nervous ones emerging from shells, behaviour challenges focused and able children extended. Please don't go!"
Ampfield Primary, Hants
Shakespeare Workshops
At FINDING THE WILL the 'end' we work towards is one where all who take part leave with an understanding, not only of the characters, plots and themes of a particular play, but an awareness that Shakespeare is as relevant today as it always was. To reach that end, a journey of individual confidence building and creative teamwork is undertaken.
FINDING THE WILL believes there are no wrong answers only interesting ideas. The children are continually encouraged to let their imaginations take flight, to empathise with and to articulate complex dilemmas of each principal character. By the end of the story all that have taken part have gone on a journey far beyond the confines of the play.

The Bard in Halifax and Havant
No BAFTAs for us (boo!) but a huge shout out to the children and goodly folk of Halifax and Havant
As requested the children knew nothing about the play until we arrived
I've never performed two different one woman shows in one day before!
Happy Birthday Mr Shakespeare!
You continue to inspire, educate and entertain – I doubt even you ever dreamt that could possibly be the case 400 years on.
We are inspired by you and with your help we educate and we also entertain.
We had a truly lovely weekend, so many thanks to the Trebah Amphitheatre team for making us feel so welcome
Easter Holiday Rant
And now a short Easter Holiday Rant
Surely if teenagers and adults find it impossible to understand there is no way that primary school aged children can 'enjoy' it.

I was there as 20% of a panel speaking on creating funny web content. My fellow panelists, left-to-right:
Jeff Rubin, Executive Editor, CollegeHumor (collegehumor.com)
We were all pretty funny people, but I hope the audience wasn't expecting an hour of non-stop laughs. We were giving advice on building successful funny content and promoting it.
We were each planning to speak for 2 minutes total on three bullet points, so none of us needed a whole lot of planning before we took the stage.
These were my three points:
Thanks Paul Kafasis for volunteering to take the photos!
We did introductions, a short video, the bullet points, a couple of questions from John, and finally the audience questions.
John asked about our "big break", techniques for marketing new articles, projects that weren't good enough to post, and how often should a comedy site should release new material.
I was excited to get to the audience questions. I'm obviously very comfortable talking about myself, so I knew answering questions would be easier than a monologue.
The hour passed in about 20 minutes. At the end, John presented the trophy for the "Funniest Person on the Web 2010".
Kris Wilson! Cyanide & Happiness (explosm.net)
The trophy was a beautiful urn, which John promptly filled with a #10 can of nacho cheese.
John also brought chips.
Kris with trophy aloft. Congratulations you son of a bitch!
With our panel finished, I hung out for a while, meeting a few people from the audience and chatting more with my internet contemporaries.
I made plans to hang out later with John, Kris and Rob DenBleyker (also from Cyanide and Happiness).
Picture: The Legos.
On the way upstairs to hear John's interview, we ran into Drew Curtis from Fark.
He was surprisingly good at charades.

Make a new "Blade" movie dammit!
Wesley Snipes has been out of prison for a while now, and it is an insult that a a new "Blade" movie isn't in the works yet. The kids these days with their "Twilights" and their "Vampire Diaries" have forgotten what good vampire cinema is about. Martial arts, sleazy broads, and lots of gore. It's high time that "Blade" takes back its rightful spot as the worlds premier vampire movie franchise. So lets get this going people! "Blade IV: Whistler's Revenge" starring Wesley Snipes and Kirs Kristofferson. The world needs this, but it won't happen unless we demand it!

Senate to Begin U.S. Farm Bill Debate This Week, Stabenow Says
Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow said the full chamber this week will begin considering a new farm bill that represents "the most significant reform in agricultural policy in decades."
The measure, approved by Stabenow's panel in April, would end direct payments to farmers. These subsidies, which are paid regardless of crop prices, have become a target for congressional budget cutters. At the same time, the bill would add to and expand insurance programs to compensate growers for weather disasters or if commodity prices collapse.
"The era of direct payments is over," Stabenow, a Michigan Democrat, told reporters today in a conference call.
The next farm bill also will authorize funding for U.S. Department of Agriculture programs for the next five years. Stabenow said her bill would provide $23 billion in "real cuts" in government spending if scored over a 10-year period, mostly by eliminating direct payments. The current legislation expires Sept. 30.
The bill is S. 3240.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Every quarterback in the NFL watches film of opponents during the week of preparation for a game.
But, as was demonstrated here Sunday when the Indianapolis Colts pushed their record to 13-0 with a 26-18 victory, Peyton Manning apparently reviews more videotape, perhaps the most of any quarterback in the league, in readying himself for a game.
Asked about the genesis of a 65-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Marvin Harrison in the second quarter, why the particular route was called and how he knew his longtime partner might be able to beat Rashean Mathis on the play, Manning referenced a play that the Jacksonville Jaguars standout cornerback had made in an overtime victory against the New York Jets.
"I saw [Mathis] make an interception in overtime on an 'out' route the Jets ran," Manning said. "I kind of filed it away. In that situation [on Sunday], we just felt like we might be able to get Mathis, who is a great corner, to bite on the 'out' route, and then have Marvin turn it into a 'stop-and-go' [route] deep. And it worked. I just told [Harrison], 'Pump it and then go by him.' And that's what we did."
Actually, it was Manning who pumped, and then Harrison who went, streaking past a flatfooted Mathis for his second touchdown reception of the game.
On the first-and-10 play from the Indianapolis 35-yard line, Manning faked to tailback Edgerrin James, freezing the free safety, and then pumped once, as Harrison temporarily throttled down, feigning the "out" route. Then Harrison slanted quickly up the seam, and into the clear by 10 yards. Manning was, not surprisingly, perfect.
And, of course, so was his recall of the interception that Mathis made against the Jets, as the Jacksonville cornerback stole a Chad Pennington pass intended for wide receiver Justin McCareins. The interception did not lead to a score, although the Jags eventually won 26-20 on a 36-yard touchdown catch by Jimmy Smith.
But here's the kicker: The Jaguars-Jets game was played in Giants Stadium on Sept. 25 in Week 3 of the season. Which means that Manning had to go back nearly three months to review the video of the contest. Most quarterbacks watch just three or four games' worth of film in getting ready for a matchup. But, then again, Manning isn't most quarterbacks.
"I watch 'em all," Manning said. "Every one of them. You just never know when you're going to pick up something that might help you. I watch the defense, that's it. I couldn't tell you who the Jets' receiver was in that game, but I knew Mathis, and I knew the play that he made."
And that knowledge, and unparalleled attention to detail, helped Manning and Harrison make a big play on Sunday afternoon.
One more element of the game that Manning revealed: When the Jaguars opted to kick deep to the Colts after cutting a onetime 23-point deficit to just eight points, instead of trying an onside kick with only 1:54 remaining, the Colts quarterback reminded all of his offensive teammates that the Jacksonville coaches were challenging them. Manning isn't always known for his outward fieriness, but he went up and down the sideline after the deep kick, telling his teammates that the Jaguars coaches clearly felt they could stop the Colts and get the ball back.
"I definitely made sure they knew we were being challenged," Manning said.
The big reason he and the rest of the Indianapolis offense withstood the challenge came three plays later, as Manning completed a 12-yard pass to tight end Dallas Clark on a critical third-and-seven play from the Colts' 23-yard line to snuff out Jacksonville's comeback attempt. The pass completion allowed the Colts to run out the clock with two kneel-downs.
On the play, Manning was under a pretty good pass rush, and throwing a bit off his back foot, but still delivered the ball to Clark, who had found a void in the Jags' secondary.
"That's all about trust," Manning said. "Dallas ran a great route to get open, and I just put the ball up, and trusted he would be there. I didn't even see the catch. That's just a great feeling for a quarterback. You don't see the pass [completion], but you hear [making the sound of a sigh] from the crowd, and you know it was complete."

Gateshead 0-2 Woking
- From the section Football
Play-off-chasing Gateshead's nine-game unbeaten run came to an end as Woking recorded their first away win of 2014.
Woking scored on their first attack, with the home side never recovering after John Nutter converted Kevin Betsy's cross.
The Tynesiders' Marcus Maddison hit a post with a scuffed shot shortly afterwards, but it was the visitors who found the net for a second time.
Betsy's delivery told once more, with John Goddard shooting home.
Woking, who had lost two and drawn once in their last three away matches, are nine points clear of the Conference Premier relegation places, while Gateshead are fifth.
Woking boss Garry Hill told BBC Surrey:
"From the off we had a game plan and we got the ideal start and probably even at half-time we were disappointed we were not two or three-nil up. The game plan we set up worked very well and we made it very hard for them.
"I think we had to have a game plan and when we went 1-0 up we were always going to make it difficult for them to get the ball. We were very quick on the counter-attack and we exploited them several times.
"If John Nutter's going to score, it's going to be scored in the second minute not the 88th. He's a good pro and has done very well this season and I'm pleased for him and it was a great lift for him and us."

I was born & raised in Marysville, Washington (the other Marysville). I am the son of teacher parents so education was pretty important in my family. I graduated with a B.S. degree in Organizational & Mass Communications from Eastern Washington University (after a lengthy battle over a typing compentency test, which I eventually won). When I got to college I asked someone who had the best parties and they told me to try the Radio & Television Department. So I got a job on the campus station and it turns out the guy was right, I got hooked on radio and the rest is the proverbial history.
I'd like to know what you are up too. Send me an e-mail about your favorite things to do, fun websites you've found, funny stories or gossip you may have heard and things that you and your friends and co-workers are talking about (I can always use the material). Thanks for listening and thanks for stopping by my page. By the way if you have any thoughts about stuff you'd like to see here, send me an e-mail. - Manley

Please Lord deliver us from Poke' stupidity! Apparently there was someone walking around in our parking lot and in the field where are broadcast towers are this morning looking for a Pokemon! One of our Sales people was trying to run after her to warn her about the rattle snakes that live in the area but she managed to avoid him, capture her character and leave. I suppose the potential upside is that it may be safer to wander in a field of rattle snakes than out into the middle of a busy freeway!

Love widows 10 phone, but the market absolutely sucks. Here drive had more features that isn't on the new app and had a better interface. I never even used it when here drive worked.. Loved the live tile for daily commutes which let you know if traffic was bad to go to work. Also had a feature to save your parking location to find your car later. Please bring it back.More

I've recently started working for dominos and I've had the misfortune of using this app because I can't have google maps on a windows phone. It takes me longer to get to customers because it can't find houses on popular road or will take me to a field on the opposite side of town. Not to mention it doesn't automatically come with a voice navigator. I wish I could give zero starsMore

Really really aggravating. I was driving from woodman and 1-25 to monument- normally a short drive, but I wasn't sure of how to get to my exact destination. This app decided that instead of remaining on the highway, I should take the back roads. I was on Dirt roads in my Civic, in the dark, and incredibly. Lost. I did reach my destination; an hour and half later than normal. I do not recommend. This app.More

Was excellent till stopped working.
Stopped working with my Lumia 640 LTE using windows 10 preview. Now just quits on startup. Tried reinstalling, but store now says not compatible.....awesome, thanks. Also, One of the redeeming apps for windows phone and it is stopping in June... What the heck. Basically after buying this phone to try windows, do my best at getting used to it, Android is still far ahead in general usage. Now this app not working and support being dropped, there seems like little reason to stay. Why MS why? I could have been persuaded to upgraded to a more expensive model but you threw the baby out with the bath water.More

Not sure why people vote 1 star! I've been using Here Drive+ since it was available with a variety of Nokia phones and has been outstanding. My main use lately has been with 1520 and not a navigation service better. I have a Garmin and lately a BMW car nav. Here+ is often quicker to calculate and more accurate. I'll sure miss it when Here pulls the plug on WP platform.More

Atlanta airport worker turns in $7,000 in lost cashBy JEFF MARTIN
The Associated Press | March 07,2013ATLANTA An Alabama foot doctor said he is grateful for the honesty of a part-time parking cashier at Atlantas airport, who found $7,000 in cash on the curb outside the international terminal and promptly turned it in.
A couple weeks ago Pamela North Holloway found the envelope on the curb where shuttles unload passengers at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. She turned it in and watched her supervisor count the money and contact Atlanta police to pick it up.
I couldve kept the money but I didnt do that, Holloway said. Im an honest citizen. Im a taxpayer and I believe in doing the right thing.
A number listed for her in Atlanta rang unanswered and the voice mailbox was full Wednesday.
Dr. Troy Zimbelman said he called the airport shuttle service he used and then police.
He was eventually able to claim the 70 $100 bills since he knew specific writing on the envelope and how the money was wrapped.
I was very impressed and plan on sending her a little reward money, too. It was a nice thing, Zimbelman said Wednesday.
The Prattville podiatrist says he was running late for his flight with a group of friends to Costa Rica on Feb. 20. While retrieving his passport and emptying his pockets in a security checkpoint, he discovered the cash had vanished.
Hoping he had left it in a car before he reached the airport, he boarded his flight and figured he would check for the money when he got back to the U.S.
I was like, I sure hope its in one of the cars, he said.
When he returned to the U.S., he searched the cars hed been in and found no trace of the envelope.
I figured if somebody found it, since it was money, it wouldnt get turned in, he said.
But he called the shuttle company anyway, and they told him some money had been found. About 20 calls later, he was able to reach an Atlanta police officer. The officer, he said, was very helpful and arranged for him to claim the lost cash.
Im actually going to send her a check, he said of Holloway. Same with the police officer who helped me.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump encouraged Russia to meddle in...

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens....Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." ~ John Maynard Keynes
NDAA Fuels Militarization, Enriches Defense Corporations, Expands Empire
Submitted by Melinda L. Secor on Sun, 2012-12-23 02:00
"The military industrial complex is a jigsaw puzzle of seemingly competing private companies; but they are in reality state-sponsored enterprises where well-connected lobbyists, usually after long and prosperous careers in the military or government, pressure Congress to fund pet projects regardless of whether we can afford them or whether they are needed to defend our country. This convenient arrangement is the welfare of the warfare state."

A few weeks ago, TechCrunch reported on comScore's latest findings in Social App usage among Millennials. The big news was the sustained rise of Snapchat, which registered #3 in popularity behind Facebook and Instagram. "That means the app is more popular than Twitter," writes Sarah Perez, "Pinterest, Vine, Google or Tumblr among the millennial demographic, which comScore defines as those between the ages of 18 and 34."
More verification for a trend many have noted: Messaging apps are trending much faster among young people than broader social platforms. There are all kinds of theories why, but the hypotheses about Snapchat—first it was sexting, then it was selfies-obsession, then it was privacy from parental gaze—probably says more about the would-be theorists than the users themselves.
We all tend to view trends through the lens of our own uses and gratifications of technologies. We grope for answers to "Why Snapchat?" because the idea of taking a picture of yourself, typing or scrawling a message across it and then sending for a supposedly ephemeral viewing does not strike us as either useful or much fun. It is interesting how often our conclusions as to "why" have a dark or negative angle when there might be a much more innocent, perhaps even hopeful, reason that Snapchat and its competitors fit better. Unless you are Twitter.
It looks like the perfect A/B test of real-time marketing. One tweet, one Facebook post for all the marbles.
Snickers, like many a brand yesterday, joined the bite-jacking fray after Uruguay's Luis Suarez appeared to sink his teeth into an Italian defender during a FIFA World Cup soccer match. Snickers posted similar messages on both Twitter and Facebook.
And what happened? The tweet — "Hey @luis16suarez. Next time you're hungry just grab a Snickers. #worldcup #luissuarez #EatASNICKERS" — got 39,000 retweets and 17,000 favorites. The Facebook post — "Next time you're hungry just grab a Snickers. #WorldCup" — fell flat, with fewer than 5,000 likes, shares and comments.
The online ad fraud issue is far worse than you think. It involves organized crime, Russian millionaires, ex-bank robbers and one-sixth of the computers in the U.S. Oh, and forget those estimates of a few million at stake. Rather $6 billion is being stolen from advertisers—$6 billion.
Those are just some of the explosive charges being leveled by White Ops, a Web security firm born of experts from the bank fraud and Internet securities industry—i.e., the best of the best hacker fighters in the country.
The company, founded originally to fight malware and bank fraud, claims that billions are being stolen from advertisers and agencies in the U.S. The company says it has identified sites where 20 percent to 90 percent of ads and clicks are fraudulent—i.e., the result of bots, not humans. And they've naturally got a new tool to attack this problem.
As excitement—frenzy in many places—starts to whip up as the soccer-loving world converges in Brazil in mid-June for the next World Cup tournament, brands are salivating as always at the branding and marketing opportunity that such a mega-sporting event affords.
Many brands like Nike and Coca-Cola have been perennial supporters of arguably the global sporting world's most popular event, but with every succeeding tournament, more and more brands are taking advantage of the platform. But, like with the Super Bowl, many brands are defaulting to an over-reliance on the glittery platform of big-budget multi-million dollar in-game network television commercials. It is somewhat befuddling that many advertisers enamored with the broad reach and the presumed consumer engagement that big iconic global sporting extravaganzas offer are still approaching their media plans in 2014 with a 2004 mindset.
While running high-production value spots during the big games will definitely get your brand on the stage, complementing it with a sizable, highly strategic and hyper-targeted digital ad plan that launches months in advance of the big event will actually deliver the level of impact and ROI that brands should expect, even demand from these opportunities. So, those of you mired in the old thinking with little or perfunctory regard for this method are in for a rude awakening when your television-heavy media plans don't fulfill the pre-ordained brand KPIs.

After a run up from $10 in six months, very few of us are concerned about a near term top. No BFnD if it drops 1 or 2 dollars. What does your chart say about the long term top?
Technical charts say base in high $20 continues to build. Since late March, money flow index has doubled and OBV continues to show strong accumuluation. Stock pressing top bollinger band at $29.65 and well above 50 & 200 day moving averages, all bullish. MACD, Stochastc, Relative price strength, price rate of change, and Williams index are all in uptrend showing significant improvement over past 3 weeks. http://one.realtimestockquote.com/neochart/neochart.dll?co=realtime&mode=-1&idx_sym=&sb=stx&cn=us&chw=800&chh=400&inh=140&ty=1&ind=-6&inm=-1&sca=1&ref_rate=180&chk_mov=on&mov1=50&mov2=200&mov3=0&chk_boll=on&boll=20&lin=0&chk_vol=on&chk_obv=on&chk_rsi=on&rsi=8&chk_sto=on&sto1=15&sto2=5&sto3=5&chk_wil=on&wil=12&chk_macd=on&macd1=12&macd2=25&macd3=9&chk_roc=on&roc1=16&roc2=8&chk_mfi=on&mfi=14&chk_rsc=on

Sussex County native now a New Orleans musical fixture
VERNON — Lake Wallkill native Debbie Davis has been plying her craft since she made her first professional singing appearance at the age of two, but it wasn't until she gambled on a move to New Orleans in 1997 that her music career really took off.
Almost two decades later, Davis has seen her adopted home hit highs, lows and everything in between, but the songstress still manages to bring her family to stay at her childhood home in Vernon every summer.
"My city kids get to go country for a month or so every summer," she says. "They get to have a little piece of the childhood I grew up with."
The Vernon home was also the family's escape during Hurricane Katrina, a disaster from which Davis says New Orleans is still trying to rebuild.
While her New Orleans home was mostly untouched by the storm aside from the roof and grounds, "I know people that just had to start over," Davis says.
While a lot of progress has been made rebuilding the city and its culture, there is still much to be done.
"I'll let you know when it's over," she adds, with a hint of sarcasm.
Without question, though, Davis says the strength of the revitalization of the area is with the returning residents.
"The people who chose to come back are the strength of the city," she says. "There is no more apathy — the people that are here now are here by choice."
Some of these returning residents and musicians, Davis included, are among the cast of the musical theater project "Nine Lives," which recounts the Katrina experiences of nine New Orleans residents prior to, during and after the storm. The show will be performed live for the first time over the weekend of Aug. 27, marking the ninth anniversary of the storm.
Other projects include Debbie Davis and the Mesmerizers, The Gloryoskis, The Pfister Sisters, Paul Sanchez and the Rolling Road Show, and The New Orleans Nightingales. The schedule is hectic, but Davis says she is "blessed to be a part of so many great projects."
Davis has also been featured in several seasons of the HBO show Treme' and will be featured in the October issue of Downbeat magazine.
