Information on local option taxes authorized by the legislature.
Municipalities and charter counties can find out more about the information they must report, as required by law.
They may also search the MPST database for information as reported to the Department of Revenue.
Read about a program designed to help local officials with administration of tax programs, resulting in increased compliance and improved revenue collections.
The Department of Revenue is no longer requiring the State Revenue Sharing Application form number DR-700218 to be submitted annually. After careful review, we have determined that each local government already certifies the requirements of s. 200.065, F.S. to our Property Tax Oversight Program. Eliminating the application will reduce any duplication of information provided by the local governments, which will save time and financial resources. However, if for any reason, you believe that your local government doesn't meet the requirements of this application, please contact the Department at email@example.com, so we can discuss the matter further.
For further information on eligibility requirements documented in the application, please reference Section 218.23 Florida Statutes by clicking on this link s. 218.23 and for determining 3 mill equivalency.

OregonLive Readers disagreed with the Clackamas County commissioners' decision to help pay for the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office new evidence processing facility.
In a poll, more than 45 percent of voters said the commissioners should have told the sheriff's office to choose a less expensive option for the facility.
Here are the results, from 64 votes:
Should the Clackamas County board have approved the Sheriff's Office facility?
- No. The sheriff's office should make do with the bond money. 45.31% (29 votes)
- Yes. It's a better investment to finish the work now than asking for more money later. 29.69% (19 votes)
- No, there are other priorities to tackle first. 20.31% (13 votes)
- Yes, but I am uncomfortable with shifting urban renewal money to free up general fund money. 4.69% (3 votes)
Commenter clackcorepub thought wanted another option to express a more nuanced opinion. Here's the comment, where "UR" stands for urban renewal: Using the UR funds for public safety was better than letting it be squandered on subsidies for new high density developments. Best option was to return funds to the original taxing jurisdictions, but a majority of commissioners (Savas, Bernard & Schrader) wanted to spend the money. Ludlow's position seems to be that if the others wouldnt return the fund this project was a better option than the other ones under consideration. Your poll didnt give that option (that this was better than the rest of the items on the UR menu).

I am going to go insane. She has typically a very obedient and good little girl, but since turning 3, OH MY GOD. She has started taking swings and kicking. She stomps her feet and goes " hmph!". Also, screaming at the top of her lungs. We do time out, but I don't believe in spanking. (Grew up in an abusive household, it's not for us) The only other thing I have tried is taking away priveleges, such as television or certain toys.
The main issue we have is just listening when we ask her to do something, and eating meals. For instance, if I ask her to pick up her toys, she will say "No, you do it." So I'll tell her that she made the mess, and she needs to clean it up. Generally after time out and talking, she will eventually clean up her toys.
But the eating. Breakfast is usually no big deal. She'll eat fruit/yogurt/cereal/ and sometimes eggs. But lunch and dinner are usually a struggle. She wants to snack constantly, and I don't give her many. (generally 1 small snack after each meal) She will persistently ask when it's time to eat, so I KNOW she is hungry. But if I give her something that she doesn't want, she just won't eat. She will just not eat, or throw fits about it. There are some things she will eat:
Avocado Sandwiches
Chick-un nuggets
Cheese Quesadilla
Bean Tostada
Bean Burrito
Baked Beans
Macaroni (homemade only, we don't buy boxed)
Pizza (usually mushroom/pineapple)
But really, even sometimes she doesn't eat those items. It's random. I used to be able to get her to eat SO many things like brocoli and carrots and peas she LOVED sauteed onions and mushrooms.
Now I know she isn't going to starve herself. She will eat when she's hungry. But how far is too far? I generally don't make a seperate meal for her, unless what I made is far-out or spicy. She generally gets what I make for dinner/lunch. But most of the time, she won't eat.
Should I just let her decide when to eat, and not discipline at all for it? Would a chart (she could put stars up for it after finishing a meal and then pick a small reward at the end of the week) help? Or is the lesson behind that a bad one?
It gets frustrating when we go to family's house and they say things like "Just give her xyz- it's better than nothing!" Because, I disagree. I'm only going to offer her healthy items. I'm not going to give her crap just because it's all she wants. She is 3 FFS. Keep in mind, all the items I listed are fat-free/low-fat/healthy versions 99% of the time.
I am just honestly at my wits end with her. This is just so out of her character, and I'm hoping it's just her age/phase.

Penn Cove Water Festival launches Friday
When May tides are considered their best, local Northwest tribes paddle to Penn Cove for a Saturday packed with canoe races, tribal dancing, storytelling and singing.
This year, organizers expanded the Penn Cove Water Festival from a one-day to a three-day event, from May 15 to 17.
Festival chair Susan Berta expects about 3,000 people to watch as 12 tribes compete in single to 11-person canoe races, including the large family "journey" canoes.
Race announcer Jim Hillaire, 74, of the Lummi tribe, said he plans to bring a fiberglass replica of an ocean-going canoe from his home on Lummi Island.
"All the canoes are pretty colorful and about 48 to 50 feet long," Hillaire said.
At about age 7, many children from Northwest tribes begin training for the canoe race season, which also includes events in northern Vancouver Island and Bellingham.
"Our kids start competing quite young. As soon as they're big enough to control a canoe, they're encouraged to do so," Hillaire said.
Each year, a small crowd lines the Coupeville Wharf as the canoes paddle to shore for what is known as protocol. Hillaire described the ritual as "acknowledging the people of the land, and asking permission to come ashore."
The Northwest tribes also participate in a welcoming ceremony, which Hillaire simply said, "You just have to witness it."
"The area years ago was our territory, so we reaffirm the elders are the spirits of the land," he said.
According to the festival Web site, it is believed that the Northwest Native American population was between 10,000 and 20,000 before contact with settlers, and that there was likely at least one boat for every 10 people.
The gathering of boat fleets for fish runs and for defense during warfare led to competitive racing.
The first water festival began in 1930, organized by a Coupeville businessman who hoped to draw more tourists to Whidbey.
Friday night, Rural Recollections will host a talk and potluck at the Coupeville Recreation Hall to share stories of the first festivals. The speakers will include tribal leaders and family members whose descendants crafted the early canoes.
This Saturday is the downtown festival with about 80 booths for food and arts and crafts. Booths will include beaded shawls, South American textiles, drums and tlingit art work.
A food area will be set up on Front and NW Grace Street, offering such meals as barbecued salmon and kettle corn.
Organizer Cheryl Bradkin said bread plays a major role at the event.
"In the early water festivals, the Indians would come great distances and camp around Coupeville. Local people would bake bread for them as gifts," Bradkin said. "So we accept loaves of bread from the public, package them and give them as gifts to Native families."
The canoe races will run from about 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
New this year is Sunday's "History of Natives on Penn Cove" by storyteller Lou LaBombard aboard the Deception Pass Tour catamaran. LaBombard will point out burial and living sites, Native American adaptions to Whidbey Island (food, shelter, canoes) and the Puget area tribal groups in pre-contact time.
Hillaire said his favorite part of the event are these exchanges of history with community members and the various tribes.
"I enjoy coming together and sharing the history of the gathering and sharing with the younger people how long our people have been doing this sort of thing," Hillaire said. "It's a good education for our youth."

Eastside Fire's Prop. 1 is on Carnation ballot Feb. 14
A $5.5 million bond issue for the construction of a new fire station in May Valley and improvements to five other stations in Fire District 10 will be on the Feb. 14 ballot for Carnation voters.
The measure, Proposition 1, is a 20-year bond that would cost voters an estimated 9 cents per $1,000 of assessed value in property taxes ($27 a year for a $300,000 home), to raise a total of $5.5 million. Of that amount, $4 million is budgeted for the new May Valley station, which will be the future home of Fire Station 78, at the outer edge of Fire District 10.
The remaining $1.5 million will be used to complete updates already in progress, along with new remodels at other stations, as follows:
Carnation - completing the conversion of a dorm into five separate bedrooms for the career and volunteer firefighters on staff. Eastside Fire & Rescue also hopes to develop a parcel of land in the area, which it owns, into a training facility, for needs specific to the Valley.
Preston - replacing the bay doors and installing a fire alarm system on the 50-plus year-old, all-volunteer station.
Tiger Mountain - remodeling the kitchen and installing a fire alarm system in the facility, which is moving from all-volunteer to include overnight staff members.
Maple Hills - remodeling the station to accommodate overnight staff members, and adding a fire alarm system.
Issquah Headquarters - adding covered and enclosed parking for emergency response vehicles.
EFR Fire Chief Lee Soptich said these projects might have to be scaled back if the new station's construction costs exceed the budgeted $4 million.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – The attorney for former Grand Rapids Catholic Central High School tutor Abigail Simon, who is accused of having sex with a 15-year-old student, says his client should not be on trial because she is the victim of either a rapist or a perjurer.
In what even the prosecution admits is a novel defense, attorney Michael Manley says he will defend Simon by using the alleged victim's own testimony to show that it was the petite 33-year-old woman who had sex forced upon her by the 6-foot-3, 220-pound teen.
Manley was in Kent County Circuit Court Friday, Jan. 10, asking Judge Paul Sullivan to dismiss the case, contending his client cannot be blamed for having sex with the teen who earlier testified in Grand Rapids District Court that he forced himself on the woman. Simon is charged with four counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and assaulting a child for immoral purposes.
Manley told the judge that not only did the teen force Simon to have sex, he threatened to kill her and anyone she was in a relationship with. He also threatened witnesses, Manley claimed.
"This is the first time I feel like a prosecutor," the Flint-based attorney said. "I feel like I am representing the rape victim."
Manley said the facts that Simon did not report the sexual encounters and there were no signs of physical abuse would not be factors if his client were the victim. He argues they similarly should not be factors in a case where she stands accused of sexual assault.
"Does a rape victim get charged with criminal sexual conduct if the rapist is under the age of consent?" Manley asked.
Manley argued that if the teen was lying about forcing himself on the woman, then he committed perjury and his testimony is unreliable.
Chief Assistant Kent County Prosecutor Christopher Becker said beyond the alleged victim's testimony there was other evidence of the former tutor, who worked at both Catholic Central and West Catholic high schools before being fired, being the instigator. Becker referred to provocative photos Simon allegedly sent to the teen.
"I've never had a case where there is a photo of the victim of a rape dressed in lingerie wrapped around her rapist," Becker said.
Becker said Manley can make his argument to the jury, and it will be up to the panel to them to decide who it believes. He said a love-struck teen's decision on what constitutes force is not the law.
Related: Attorney says former Catholic school tutor accused of sexual assault of teen is actually the victim
Sullivan agreed that the matter is for a jury to decide and said even without the testimony of the teen, there is enough evidence to send the accusations to trial.
Sullivan said the jury will have to decide whether they believe all, part or none of what the teen says when he testifies. Sullivan said it is possible to infer from the teen's probable cause testimony that he was trying to protect the accused.
Simon was a tutor for the teen starting in 2012 and is accused of having a sexual relationship with the student between Feb. 1 and April 26.
No date has been set yet for a trial, but Manley says he plans to bring forward many witnesses including experts from Illinois and Rutgers University.
He also said that he may include the fact that his client is allegedly a victim of previous domestic violence while living near Chicago as part of his defense.

I feel like the community has stagnated. Maybe more accurately, my interest has. We seem to rehash the same things and argue over petty details.
I'm a big picture guy. The 'Paleo' way of examining was a total shift in my awareness of my lifestyle. I'm now sitting here wondering if there are any more shifts to be made now? Is there another step? Another, next big thing for Paleo?

NEW BALTIMORE, N.Y. — Authorities say they've seized more than 1,000 marijuana plants from a barn on a man's Hudson Valley property.
The Greene County Sheriff's Office Page 1 of 1says Tuesday the pot-growing operation was discovered Monday morning after firefighters responded to an electrical fire at Alan Tower's home in New Baltimore, 15 miles south of Albany.
Sheriff Gregory Seeley says firefighters spotted bags of marijuana in the home. After obtaining a search warrant, police say they found about 1,200 pot plants inside a dilapidated barn on the property. Seeley says the street value of the pot could be $800,000 or more.
Seeley says the 68-year-old Tower was charged him with unlawful possession of marijuana. He was being held in Greene County Jail on $40,000 bail.
A call to Tower's lawyer wasn't immediately returned.

Great theater! Bring your sweater. Their air conditioners work great too.
Tucson's best country dance bar. Straight country music. Live music 5 nights a week, large dance floor. Many types of drinks and beer, now enlarging wine selection. Free dance lessons.
Fred's is a long drive from Tucson, off Sierrita Mountain Rd. and not so easy to find, but worth the effort. It's nothing fancy - just an old-school steakhouse with good food and a great, out-in-the-country atmosphere. The beef is the best thing to order on the menu. Fred's has a roping arena and also stores a lot of the rolling stock used in the Rodeo Parade. We have been going to Fred's for over 30 years, even though we no longer live in Tucson. It's a taste of what Tucson was like before the population explosion.
Absolutely hysterical! What a great way to spend date night. The audience was rolling in laughter. They Guaranteed Funny and they delivered.
DJ Tomtom is now appearing at the KOA Florizona Grill on Country Club on Saturday Nights.
I miss this place, the last manager and staff that was there was awesome. I think it was a group of 3 or 4 guys that were trying to buy it from the owner, but the owner kept wasting all of the money which was a shame. I lived right near by so when it changed to basically a country bar before it shut down it was a shame...
Pretty cool place, just started going back. Not so much a party place as it is just a bar atmosphere but its fun and a nice group of people.
Im new in town. I love the bar but the women are not friendly. That is a shame. I could not meet a girl.
Great Americana food. Awesome breakfasts, burgers and dinners. Dont let the stakehouse name fool you, this is more of a diner. Great food at a reasonable price. No frills, good service. Owners George and Dina always greet you with a smile.
left out a word, should have said ribs are very meaty and not too fatty
Great place for a steak!!! Fabulous food & atmosphere with live music on the weekends.
Amazing place with the perfect atmosphere to just unwind. The bartenders are fast friendly and work hard to make sure you keep coming back. The regulars are friendly and seem to avoid drama at all cost.
KJ Sean is by far one of the best KJ's I have ever met. He has the most diverse and comprehensive collection of song choices and provides a fun experience.
The Venue, Salty Dawg, while a bit congested at times, provides friendly and fast service.
TMW is a must see whether its at the Salty Dawg or a street corner!
Great service! Friendly staff beef stroganoff and fish is awesome wings are all drumsticks 13 per order! Great dive where there's something todo everyday of the week especially now since footballs here!
No new reviews so i thought I would post one.
Friday has perennial 80's and G. Cover charge and packed. Saturday night ; no cover smaller crowd and sometimes very good bands (Giant Blue, etc). Definitely the night to go. Mixed crowd with many older people looking for hookups (well it's true). Drinks are very reasonable for Foothills, food good. Bartenders are nice and fast
Place is great, music is fun and so is karaoke Dj Brandon. Go with open mind Karaoke dj is ADD and it shows so sometimes rotation gets mixed up. It is Fun just make sure you keeping your ears open for your name.. No food unfortunately but some dang strong drinks.
M&L Airport Inn Bar and Grill come check it out! New bold and dynamic atmospere that will stimulate your mind. The new remodeled look is updated and has two new beautiful patios and a brand new kitchen opening soon!
Great bar great people friendly staff new hot bartenders ! Cant wait to see the finish project!
Caliente DJ has a great variety of music from Old school to the new hits and even reggaeton and cumbias! He has the party lights and he's system sounds great! The music he spins makes you wanna dance! =)
I enjoyed the entire experience. Everyone did an excellent job. Only suggestion would be to have more private tables and a little more elbow room. It's a beautiful location and very central.

Six Fort Dodge football players were placed on the Class 4A-2 all-division teams, the league announced recently.
A pair of Dodger senior linemen - Jacob Porter and Riley Prescott - joined sophomore standout Sam Cook on the first squad, while seniors Andrew Stover and Marquan Clayton and junior Austin Halligan made the second list.
''The kids who made it were very well-deserving,'' said FDSH head coach Matt Miller, who is now 41-59 in 10 seasons at the helm. ''The format is a little different now, with the number of players from each team pre-determined based on where you finish (in the division). In addition, the spots aren't evenly-distributed by position. So you see a lot more wide receivers, for instance, than linemen.
''With that being said, I'm proud of all of our guys. I just wish we could recognize more of them.''
The 275-pound Porter and 220-pound Prescott were both three-year starters in the trenches for the Dodgers. Porter was a two-time all-division selection.
''There are 58 varsity starts between those two - every single game for three straight seasons,'' Miller said. ''There's a lot to be said for both their reliability and their production. Our run game and our offense was as productive as it's been in years this season, and Jake and Riley were a big reason for that.
''They did everything we asked and set a tremendous example for the kids of our program. To start nearly 30 career games at this level isn't easy to do, yet they both did it and I truly appreciate that.''
Cook rewrote the record books in more ways than one for Fort Dodge this fall. The tailback rushed for 1,608 yards, shattering the school's sophomore record and tying Jontel Clayton's 2009 performance for the best in FDSH single-season history.
Cook also produced the top two individual performances ever in a Dodger uniform, piling up 352 yards in a win over Des Moines North and 265 more in the season finale against Sioux City North. His 178.7 yards per game ranked ahead of Clayton's '09 effort (160.8) and placed him second in all of Class 4A during the regular season.
''It was a pretty amazing year for Sam,'' Miller said. ''I remember thinking we'd probably never see another back like Zach (Mason) and then saying the same thing when Jontel graduated. But Sam's numbers have been right there with both of them. It's been an incredible 10 years for tailbacks in our program.
''Sam will be the first to tell you how fortunate he was to run behind such a veteran offensive line, with five senior regulars.''
Cook was also third on the squad in tackles from his linebacker position, and averaged 37.8 yards per punt. In 2012, he was the first freshman football player ever to start at the varsity level for the Dodgers.
''He basically never left the field, other than to get a breather every once in a while defensively,'' Miller said. ''Like Jake and Riley, what Sam did at such a high, steady level is not as easy as he made it look.''
Like Cook, Stover etched his name in the FDSH records as a steady two-year performer. Stover finished second to only Dodger great Randy Reiners (4,385 yards, 39 touchdowns) for both passing yards (3,265) and TDs (27) by a quarterback.
Stover had 1,261 passing yards and 13 touchdowns against only six interceptions this season.
''Andrew had a great career,'' Miller said. ''He's a smart kid who put up solid numbers night in and night out for us, and as the numbers would indicate, you could compare his overall body of work to just about anyone here at the quarterback position.''
The 295-pound Clayton was another two-year regular on the line whose ''best football could still be ahead of him,'' according to Miller.
''I think Marquan is just starting to scratch the surface if he chooses to continue his career (at the collegiate level),'' Miller said. ''He wasn't even out for football as a sophomore, so through hard work, he could still do a lot of improving and growing on the field.''
Halligan was a ''jack of all trades'' for FDSH. The all-state baseball player was a starter on both sides of the ball and the team's leading tackler, while catching 19 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns.
''Austin was always around the ball and always making good things happen,'' Miller said. ''He's another kid that started as a sophomore, and we'll really look to him to be a leader as a senior next year.''
Stover and Halligan were both second team all-division choices last year as well.
Nine Dodgers made the honorable mention list: seniors Brandon Archibald (LB and TE), Carlos Rocha (OL and DL) and Zach Anderson (SE), juniors Spencer Barber (SE), Joe Crooks (FB), Zach Lowery (LB) and Brian Murman (ZB), and sophomores Kole Kampen (S) and Kit McCarville (OL).
Fort Dodge went 3-6 overall this year, missing the postseason for the first time since 2007. Along with the eight total underclassmen on the all-division teams, the Dodgers are slated to welcome back starters Skyler Harris (DL), Ben Ahlers (TE), Josh Diosdado (NG) and Konner Pirie (LB).
Miller's squad will also receive a revamped schedule and new two-year district assignment sometime in January.
District champion Ames (10-1 overall, 5-0 in 4A-2) had seven first-team selections. The Little Cyclones were followed by Johnston (6-4, 4-1), Ankeny (4-6, 3-2), Sioux City North (4-6, 2-3), the Dodgers and Des Moines North (0-9, 0-5).

MONTGOMERY -- Sen. Paul Sanford, R-Huntsville, said Tuesday he didn't know at the time the name of the caller who asked about his position on bingo and then dangled a campaign contribution of $250,000.
Sanford said the telephone call came a week or two before his June 9 election from a lobbyist who said he represented two clients in the gaming industry that were willing to write him two checks for $125,000.
"They needed to know how I stood on the (bingo) bill," he said. "Then he qualified his statement and said there's no quid pro quo associated with this. And at that time, my response to him was pretty simple. I just said, 'I don't believe we're on the same side of the equation...'"
Sanford said the caller told him, "The guys I represent could fund your campaign two or three times over."
Sanford said it didn't occur to him to report the call to law enforcement last summer because it "seemed to be politics as usual in Montgomery."
"It just didn't seem to be that big of a deal," he said. "It just seemed to be an unusual conversation. It's just seemed to be politics as usual that you talk about money that's thrown around down here, the power, the influence. It was part of the course."
Sanford said it was only later, during a phone call with his Montgomery political consultants, did he determine the caller was Jarrod Massey, a lobbyist who represents Country Crossing in Dothan.
Massey, through an attorney, has denied making such an offer to Sanford or any other lawmaker.
Sanford said his consultants, Public Strategy Associates of Montgomery, helped him determine who called him.
"I didn't know who he was when he called," said Sanford. "He told me his name. They (consultants) helped me figure out the name. It was either a J or a G, but he's got kind of a country access, a thick Southern accent. They named a couple of names and they said Jarrod Massey, and I said, 'That's it.'"
Sanford said Massey dropped by his office twice before the bingo bill passed the Senate on March 30, but he wasn't in either time.
After reading that Massey had been interviewed by law enforcement, Sanford said he contacted Monica Cooper, Senate Minority Leader J.T. Waggoner's assistant, on Saturday to ask for her advice.
Sanford said Cooper called Col. Chris Murphy, director of the state Department of Public Safety, who, in turn, contacted him. He said an FBI agent and an Alabama Bureau of Investigation agent interviewed him in Huntsville around 5 p.m. Saturday.
"They just asked me to explain what happened, tried to find out if any other lobbyist had contacted me about gaming," he said.
Sanford said he had no other similar type contact with gambling lobbyists.
Gov. Bob Riley's office emphasized earlier the investigation is being run by the Public Integrity Section of the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.
Martha Earnhardt, spokeswoman for DPS, confirmed Tuesday it remained a Justice Department investigation.
"As is routine practice, in many different types of investigations, the FBI has asked for ABI's assistance, which this agency is providing," she said.

Shakespeare gets an update
One might wonder whether Youngstown State University Associate Professor Matthew Mazuroski is brave, crazy or a little of both to rewrite William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" as a contemporary tale set in a world of celebrity worship and hip-hop culture.
In the theater world, Shakespeare's words often are considered sacred. While many directors get adventurous with the sets and costumes, they leave the text alone.
But the audience reaps the rewards of Mazuroski's daring. The updating is clever and parsing away some of the antiquated language does increase the clarity of the work. At the same time, the changes aren't that radical. Mazuroski preserves much of the rhythms and poetry of Shakespeare in a way that should satisfy all but the most rigid of the Bard's purists.
The basic story remains the same. Twins Viola and Sebastian wash ashore on an island following a shipwreck with each believing the other is dead. Viola disguises herself as a man named Cesario and blends in with the entourage of Orsino, in this version a wealthy hip-hop star. Orsino uses Cesario as his messenger to woo Olivia, a Hollywood starlet, but Viola/Cesario loves Orsino, and Olivia starts to fall for Orsino's messenger rather than the rapper. The arrival of Sebastian, who is mistaken for Cesario by everyone on the island, further complicates the romantic entanglements.
The pop culture references in Mazuroski's script add some laughs, starting with an inventively staged shipwreck scene accompanied by a snippet of the "Gilligan's Island" theme. Not all of it works (the expiration date on twerking jokes may have passed), but touches like having TMZ spreading some of the island gossip makes perfect sense in this contemporary setting.
Those who've seen "Twelfth Night" before will have an easier time suspending disbelief, but one challenge of the production is that Ashley Whited (Viola) and Ronald Aulet (Sebastian) look nothing alike. That everyone on stage confuses the two might be confusing for those in the audience. The two are costumed similarly, but identical costumes would have helped sell this plot point.
That said, Whited is very entertaining as Viola, whether she's pining for Orsino or trying to thwart Olivia's advances. And Natalie Martzial is a delight as Olivia, who cooly manipulates Orsino's affections and then must deal with the passion Cesario awakens in her.
For the show with a gender-bending plot, Mazuroski continues the theme by casting Zara Markman as Malvolio, Olivia's prudish steward who sheds his prim ways when he is tricked into believing that Olivia loves him. Markman turns the character into a wonderful foil for the misbehavior of the other characters.
Josh Fleming and Matthew Malloy play off of each other well as Toby Belch and Andrew Aguecheek, respectively, and they milk their different physical types for comedic effect.
Ellen Jones' set design is simple but effective in evoking the island feel of the setting, and that feeling is echoed in Derrick Vanmeter's costumes.
And considering what it looks like outside, this trip to the islands couldn't be more appealing right now.
Youngstown State University Theater will stage "Twelfth Night" at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Bliss Hall's Spotlight Theater. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for senior citizens, YSU faculty and staff, non-YSU students, Penguin Club members and YSU alumni. YSU students are admitted free with student ID.
For reservations or more information, call 330-941-3105.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate has confirmed President Barack Obama's nomination of Stanley Fischer to be vice chairman of the Federal Reserve. It also approved Lael Brainard and Jerome Powell to serve on the Fed's board.
The votes fill vacancies just before a meeting of the central bank's policy panel next week.
The Senate voted 63-24 to approve the nomination of Fischer, a former head of the Bank of Israel, to the Fed's No. 2 post. Brainard, a former Treasury undersecretary for international affairs, was approved on a 61-31 vote, and Powell won a second term on the Fed board on a 67-24 vote.
The Senate's action means five of the seven Fed board seats have now been filled in advance of a meeting of the central bank's interest-rate committee Tuesday and Wednesday.

Fresh crops support community
With the weather heating up and the sun shining, students involved in the new Community Supported Agriculture program are harvesting the first round of crops that will be given to shareholders and sold at nearby markets.
They're harvesting a variety of green vegetables which are divided between the 50 or so people who purchased a share in the training center's CSA program.
"The interns are thrilled," said Anza Muenchow, program coordinator at the Greenbank Farm. The greenhorn farmers are also selling their goods to patrons of the weekly Sunday Market at the farm.
The trainees are learning farming basics by growing crops on several acres of land at the Greenbank Farm.
Muenchow said that the interns recently expanded the irrigation system and are growing tomatoes, corn and other vegetables.
"They're working really hard," she said.
The Community Supported Agriculture training center started operating in January and seven students comprise its first class. They are working an entire growing season from tilling the land to selling their crops at a market. The program is a partnership between the Greenbank Farm, the Port of Coupeville and the Northwest Agriculture Business Center.
The CSA has sold 55 shares. Shareholders are entitled to two grocery bags of produce each week for 20 weeks. Local food banks have also benefited from the interns' efforts. The Port of Coupeville, the Unitarian Universalist Congregation along with four other shares went to Gifts from the Heart in Coupeville and Good Cheer Food Bank in Bayview, Muenchow said.
The CSA is still selling shares. Now that interns are harvesting crops, the shares will be sold on a pro-rated basis.
In the meantime, crops are still sprouting. Three kinds of peas, onions, bok choy and cucumbers will be just some of the produce available from the training program at the Greenbank Farm.

Partial returns showed voters opposing the measure 61 percent to 39 percent.
Officials proposed creating the Canby Area Parks and Recreation District to replace an operating levy of the same amount for the swim center. The current levy expires in June 2012, and officials have said the pool will close without additional funding.
The primary purpose of the proposal was to maintain and operate the existing pool facility, although additional funds could be used to support recreation providers within the district through grants. Those providers include the Canby Adult Center, Canby Kids youth sports associations, Canby Community Education, Canby School District recreation facilities, and the City of Canby Swim Center.
The district mirrors the Canby School District except the Charbonneau area.

We don't eat a lot of steak. I think Hubs would eat more if HE planned the menu though. He does rave when I make steak. Well, I just marinate it, HE actually gets to grill it!
This marinade was awesome! Spicy and garlicky!
I take my whole can of chipotles with adobo sauce and puree the whole thing. I just use a few tablespoons for this marinade. Then the rest can stay in the refrigerator for something else.
Adobo Steaks Marinade Recipe
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon minced garlic1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons finely chopped canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers to taste
4 (8 ounce) beef sirloin steaks
Salt and pepper to taste
1.In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, garlic, oregano, and cumin. Stir in chipotle peppers, and season to taste with adobo sauce. (I puree my chipotles and adobo together and just use a few tablespoons)
2.Pierce the meat on both sides with a sharp knife, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place in a glass dish. Pour lime and chipotle sauce over meat, and turn to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
3.Preheat grill for high heat.
4.Lightly brush grill grate with oil. Place steaks on the grill, and discard marinade. Grill steaks for 6 minutes per side, or to desired doneness.

text: If being in ketosis is a priority, something like Stronglifts or Starting Strength probably wouldn't go very well. Personally, I wouldn't want to be doing multiple sets of heavy squats without some fruit or sweet potatoes in my belly . Mark's routine or a similar bodyweight program would be the better choice. You might be able to do a barbell program with slower weight increases. Do some research on 5/3/1.

"Diamonds & Wood" is an ongoing series in which music critic Shea Serrano breaks down the 5 hip-hop tracks you need to hear this week.
Two weeks ago, I received two new students: A brother and sister (ages 15 and 14, respectively) that are kin to a student I taught two years ago.
The sister, K., she's pleasant enough. She tries hard and is somewhere near the median on the Kindness Scale and, best I can tell, capable of keeping pace with the others in her class. Her existence is perfectly proportionate. I'm certain I'll forget her name as soon as the last school bell of the year sounds.
Her brother though, HER BROTHER THOUGH, YO, that fool is a character. His name is O., but his nickname is Panza De Caguama, which basically translates into "Beer Belly". He is big (not fat, just wide and man body-ish) and loud (LOUD) and goofy and just about a perfect accessory to any situation that isn't school-related.
He's not a bad kid—he is almost always smiling, and is hyper-outgoing—but he's not a good student. Mostly, he seems compelled to stay alive solely to consume chicken nuggets from McDonald's and to hit on L., a toothsome girl in his homeroom class. Despite having only been around for ten school days, I think he might be my second favorite of all this year.
Three O. related anecdotes before we get to this week's songs:
1. He first showed up to my door on a Tuesday. The previous Saturday, he came to Saturday Tutorials, which was surprising considering the second thing he told me was that he reallyReallyREALLY didn't like school. I figured maybe he was going to use the newness of his surroundings to serve as the foundation for a new school identity. I was wrong. I think he lasted about twenty minutes before I had to kick him out. Two or so minutes after we started independent practice, he stood up, shouted "TWERK TEAM!" and started doing what I assume was supposed to be a twerking (it was more him just dropping into a squatting position and shaking his belly). Mind you, this was only the third time he'd ever even been in my room. When I asked him Monday why he did it, he replied, "I don't know. Twerking is better than the moon phases." I can't really argue with that.
2. During gym, O. was "playing" basketball with several other boys. Every time he got the ball, the other boys would reach their noodle arms towards it and try and yank it out. He'd turtle up, laugh, then attempt to yank each limb out of its socket by twisting round and round and round. He was like the Tazmanian Devil. And it was totally normal. Like, that's just the way he plays basketball. That's his go-to signature move apparently.
3. Several members of the soccer team were in the gym after school one day preparing to play indoor soccer. and O. came rumbling in (I definitely heard him before I saw him). I looked up and he was following behind L., who was coming to ask me something about a homework assignment due the following day. As we talked, O. wandered out onto the floor, secured himself a ball, then proceeded to bowl over several boys as he bulldozed around the court, eventually firing a shot that nearly put a hole in the goalkeeper's chest. While he was out there, L. mentioned that he had expressed his interest in her. I laughed and joked that she felt the same way. She said, "Ewww, no," then looked out at him playing, looked at me and said, "I'm gonna go before he notices," then literally sprinted the fuck right out of the gym. When O. realized she was gone, he heftied over to me and asked where she went. I told him I didn't know. He smiled, said "Este vata," shrugged his shoulders, then concluded, "I'll see her tomorrow during homeroom." I'm certain he's going to grow up to be the guy in the club that grabs girls by the arm as they walk past him towards the bar.
O. is the tits.
1. Tory Lanez, "Hate Me On The Low"
Were I to guess, this is gonna be one of the guys this summer that pops (you might remember: He achieved a modicum of buzz when Sean Kingston tried to have a go at it). This is the first song from his upcoming mixtape. Seems pretty undeniable.
2. Joey Fatts, "Choppa," featuring A$AP Rocky and Danny Brown
All I ever want to listen to anymore is Danny Brown. He's a weirdo savant. Plus, he's over 30-years-old, which is great because I don't think I want to listen to 17-year-olds rap very much anymore.
3. Yaasin Bey (BUT REALLY MOS DEF), "Quiet Dog Bite Hard (Remix)"
One time Frank Sinatra came in here and sat in this chair. I said, "Frank, you hang out with Mos Def., right? Just between me and you, how old is Mos Def?" You know what Frank told me? He said, "Hey, Mos Def is 137-years-old. A hundred-and-thirty-seven-years-old!"
4. Juicy J, "Show Out (Remix)," featuring Pimp C and T.I.
Not entirely sure how I feel about posthumous Pimp C verses (probably not that great), but I know how feel about Juicy J—LIKE THE INSIDE OF THE SUN IS INSIDE OF MY CHEST. "SLOB ON MY KNOW LIKE CORN ON THE COB/CHECK IN WITH ME AND DO YOUR JOB" is the greatest line of all.
p.s. Seems like there's a Riff Raff version of this floating around. Go forth.
5. Killer Mike, "In The A (Remix)"
If you wouldn't mind, please everyone send me all of your spare exclamation points because I need them for whenever I write about this song. Thank you kindly.

Managing expectations
It's happened a few times this spring. A reporter starts off by saying, "Manny, what do you think…" before pausing every so briefly to turn a thought into a question.
During that quick moment of dead air, Indians manager Manny Acta points a finger at the reporter and answers with an emphatic, "WIN."
That is Acta's answer. He doesn't need to know the question. For Acta, "WIN" is the only thing that matters.
It's the message he keeps preaching to the media and it's the same message he has delivered to his players. No matter what the prognosticators are saying, Acta expects his team to win.
And he means it.
On Sunday, a visiting reporter asked Acta about his expectations for the Tribe this season. Specifically, Acta was asked how high he has set his expectations for the coming year.
"Very high," Acta replied. "Very high, because I'm counting on our rotation and pitching staff to pick up where
they left off last year. They pitched very well in the second half of the season and that's what
I'm basing it on. I'm not basing my expectations on "Anything can happen."
"That is part of the
game, but it's the fact that they got better in the second half and I think they're going to
continue to get better. With the addition of those guys that were injured, our offense is going
to get better, too."
Acta was then asked what would be considered a successful season for the Indians, who lost 93 games in 2010 and dropped 97 the year before.
"Making the playoffs," Acta said. "Shoot for the stars. If you don't make it there, at least you won't have mud on your shoes. I'm sorry. I just can't sit over here and tell these guys, 'Win two more games than last year and we'll feel that's fine.' That's not fine. You play to win."
Notes from Sunday…
- CF Grady Sizemore (left knee) did some sprinting at 50-60 percent in the outfield today. He also added some agility work, moving from side to side and backwards. It's the first time he added those exercises to his running program since the June microfracture surgery. Sizemore said he had no issues and the goal remains to be ready in time for Opening Day on April 1.
- Sunday's workout — the first full-squad workout of the spring — was altered some due to some heavy early-morning rain. Pitchers threw in the bullpen instead of on the field and the hitters moved to the indoor batting cage. The first day of having batters "track" pitches was scrapped. The plan is for hitters to track and not swing on Monday.
- Infield practice was also canned on Sunday due to the wet conditions on the fields. The Indians did hold a baserunning lecture on the field, though. On Monday, the Tribe plan on going over bunt-play fundamentals as well.
- The Indians plan on having an intrasquad game on Thursday (estimated seven innings) and again on Friday (estimated 4 1/2 innings). Acta said that Indians catcher Carlos Santana is currently penciled in to start behind the plate on Thursday. Santana has no restrictions after completing his rehab from left knee surgery.
- Asked who the main competitors for third base were, Acta named Jason Donald, Jayson Nix, Luis Valbuena and Jared Goedert. Jack Hannahan will also get reps there this spring as will Cord Phelps and Lonnie Chisenhall to a lesser extent. Goedert has been criticized for his defense, but Acta said he wants to get a close look at the prospect this spring.
- Mike Hargrove is scheduled to join the club in camp on Thursday. He and Eduardo Perez will spend time working with the many players expected to see reps at first base this spring. Kenny Lofton, who will help with outfielders and baserunning, should be in camp on Tuesday.
- Acta said he is in no way worried about Matt LaPorta's defensive ability at first base. Said the manager: "I'm not concerned at all about LaPorta. LaPorta played very good defense for us last year. I thought that he did a very fine job over there. The second half of the season, he was a little bit worn out, but I'm very happy with how he played defense."
- This is from yesterday, but I forgot to toss it on here. Acta was asked about the head of hair that Travis Hafner showed up with this spring. Here's what the skip, chuckling throughout, had to say: "He said he felt comfortable with that haircut. I just couldn't believe it. I shave my head because I'm bald. If I had hair, I would try every style. I really don't comprehend why someone with hair would want to shave it. I'd try every haircut possible until I run out of hair. That's what I did."
One last thing…
Have you seen Acta's new profile picture on Twitter (@Mactriber_11)? No?
Well, then here you go:
The story behind it: This photo of Acta was taken 24 years ago and was sent to him last year by his brother, who stumbled across it. They found it amusing that Acta was wearing an Indians T-shirt more than two decades before becoming the manager of the team. Why was he wearing it? He was a big fan of the D.R.'s Julio Franco, who was with the Indians at the time.
Be sure to keep checking the blog and Indians.com for updates from camp. Also, make sure you're following along on Twitter (@MLBastian) and check out the "Jordan Bastian" fan page on Facebook for links to stories, blogs, photos and more.

Say hello to Uncle Orlando
It became pretty apparent that Orlando Cabrera passed his physical with the Indians when he was spotted hanging out with his new double-play partner, Asdrubal Cabrera, in the outfield on a practice diamond on Wednesday morning.
Sure enough, Cleveland announced that it had indeed signed the veteran infielder to a one-year Major League contract. The deal is worth $1 million plus incentives, but there is no option for the 2012 season. Ask me, and I'll say that seems like a nice bargain.
During our sit-down with Orlando, we asked if he knew Asdrubal before today.
"The nephew?" Cabrera replied with a grin.
So a few years back, when baseball started to see an increase in the number of Cabreras in The Show — Asdrubal, Melky, Miguel, Fernando, Daniel — Orlando started referring to them as his nephews.
"And he calls me uncle," Cabrera said of Asdrubal.
And to answer the obvious question: No, they are not actually related.
That said, Orlando Cabrera is the kid brother of Jolbert Cabrera, who suited up for the Indians in 310 games from 1998-2002. For those wondering how Jolbert is doing these days, Orlando said he is currently still playing ball for a team in Mexico.
As for OC, he's in camp as the favorite to be the Tribe's starting second baseman. One way or another, manager Manny Acta — who knows Orlando from their days in the Expos organization — said Cabrera is on the team (barring an injury, of course). So he'll break camp either as a second baseman or a utlity guy (he'll see reps at 3B, too).
Cabrera actually sounded genuinely enthusiastic about the chance to play second base. It was the position he played as a Minor Leaguer and he said making the switch to shortstop — a position where he's won two Gold Gloves — was more difficult that going from short to second. Acta said Cabrera could play second "with his eyes closed."
Helping matters will be the fact that he'll play second with them open.
Where will Cabrera hit in the lineup? Acta said Cabrera has the ability to adjust to any spot in the batting order. As of right now though, the Indians do not view Cabrera as a part of the top of the lineup. So I'd pencil him into one of the Nos. 7-9 spots right now if you're busy doing mock lineups at home.
Other notes and observations from Wednesday…
- Pitchers and catchers all underwent physicals on Wednesday. They also met individually with Acta and GM Chris Antonetti to discuss expectations for the upcoming season. The first official workout for pitchers and catchers is Thursday.
- Spotted in camp: Indians designated hitter Travis Hafner and newly-hired special assistant to baseball operations Eduardo Perez. I introduced myself as "Best Buy" to Hafner, because that's where I ran into him and initially introduced myself over the winter. That's a story for another day…
- The Indians need to make another transaction in order to clear room on the 40-man roster for Cabrera. Once the move is approved by the league — likely in the next couple of days — it would be announced. I would think a pitcher is most likely to be removed from the roster.
- To help account for the high volume of pitchers in camp, the Indians added catching prospect Chun Chen to their group of non-roster invitees. That will help with early bullpen sessions and also provide Chen with valuable experience, especially the chance to work with Sandy Alomar Jr. on his defense.
- Rumored for a few days, confirmed on Tuesday and official on Wednesday: Kenny Lofton is joining the Tribe as a guest instructor this spring. He will work with outfielders and offer tips on baserunning while he's in camp from Feb. 22-28. During the regular season, Lofton will have an expanded role as an alumni ambassador, helping with some community initiatives among other things.
- The Indians could have a bit of a logjam in the infield at Triple-A Columbus this year. If Lonnie Chisenhall is at third and Jason Kipnis is at second, suddenly guys like Jared Goedert (3B) and Cord Phelps (2B/3B) we'll be searching for playing time if they're in Columbus as well. Antonetti said Goedert will see some time in the outfield this spring and he could get at-bats at 1B or DH at Triple-A, too. Phelps will see action at second and third, but Antonetti wasn't sure yet if he'd see innings in the outfield this spring.
- Antonetti said that no big-league starters are currently faced with any obvious innings restrictions for the coming season. The only one he said the club will "be mindful of" is Mitch Talbot. Antonetti quickly added, though, that the goal is for Talbot to pitch a full Major League season.
- On Monday, Justine Siegal will become the first woman to throw batting practice to a Major League team when she does so for the Indians. She will also throw BP to A's hitters on Feb. 23. Siegal is also the first woman to coach men's professional baseball (Brockton Rox, 2009).

Winter Meetings: Day 1
Sitting here in the media work room at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin resort, soaking up all that is Day 1 of the Winter Meetings.
Teams have been busy leading up to this year's annual offseason gathering, with Adam Dunn signing with the White Sox, Jayson Werth inking a seven-year pact with the Nationals, the Blue Jays trading away Shaun Marcum and the Red Sox pulling off a swap with San Diego to reel in Adrian Gonzalez.
As for your Indians? Well, don't expect any huge, headline-hogging news this week in Lake Buena Vista. Tribe GM Chris Antonetti will surely be kicking the tires on some third base options, as well as looking into finding a starting pitcher, a backup catcher and a right-handed-hitting outfielder. Antonetti might also be hunting down uberagent Scott Boras for a chat about an extension for Shin-Soo Choo.
Us Cleveland scribes will meet with Antonetti this afternoon and Indians manager Manny Acta is scheduled to hold his sit-down today at 4 p.m. ET. While the Indians might not be the most active team at these Winter Meetings, I'll do my best to keep up up to date on all that's going on with the club.
Keep checking back here on the blog, reading indians.com and following along on Twitter.
Stay tuned for more…
UPDATE — 3:51 p.m. ET: One rumor making the rounds is that the Indians have some level of interest in free-agent outfielder Jeff Francoeur. The Royals, Phillies and Rockies have also been tabbed as suitors for the outfielder. The Tribe is in the market for a right-handed-hitting outfielder to help break-up the all-lefty combo of Michael Brantley, Grady Sizemore and Shin-Soo Choo.
UPDATE — 5:49 p.m. ET: The Indians, along with more than half a dozen teams, have reportedly inquired about outfielder Fred Lewis. On the surface, this doesn't seem to be a fit. The Tribe already has three lefty outfielders and Lewis became increasingly unhappy as his playing time decreased down the stretch last season with the Blue Jays.
Notes & quotes from Day 1:
- Antonetti would not spill the beans when asked if he has met or plans to meet with Boras this week to continue talks about an extension for Choo. He did say that they will have to talk because Choo is eligible for arbitration, so talks of an extension will "naturally" be a part of the process. The GM noted that he is reluctant to discuss long-term deals once the regular season has started.
- In discussing the situation at third base, Acta said that Jason Donald, Jayson Nix and Cord Phelps could all be in the mix for the job, barring an offseason addition. "There is a chance of everything in the world," Acta said. "There is a chance. We're very deep and our depth is great up the middle."
- Antonetti and Acta both emphasized the importance of having a strong defender at third base, especially due to having a young all-righty rotation that is so reliant on ground balls. That would seemingly rule out Encarnacion. But, Antonetti left the door open by saying, "If there's an exceptional offensive player available at that position that may not be as strong defensively, we'll be open-minded to that as well." So, yeah…
- Antonetti is not one to dive into specifics, but I asked him if there were any surprise decisions at the non-tender deadline. Maybe the Tribe had its eyes on someone who they thought would become a free-agent. Antonetti replied, "Up to that point you have dialogue with teams to get some sense. There may have been a couple of surprises on either side, here or there, but for the most part a lot of the guys we expected to be non-tendered were non-tendered." More to the point, the Indians probably would've preferred the A's non-tender Kevin Kouzmanoff — not Encarnacion.
- If the Indians are going to find rotation help through free agency, a signing is not likely to happen this week at the Meetings. The Tribe needs more time to see how the market develops. "We're not in a position to preempt the market," said the GM. Obviously, if the Tribe is looking at trades, it could come sooner rather than later. It's been pretty quiet on that front.
- Antonetti offered some unsolicited praise for former GM Pat Gillick, who was voted into baseball's Hall of Fame on Monday. Said the Indians GM: "I'm elated at the fact that Gillick got elected to the Hall of Fame. That is great. There's not a classier, more respected person in all of baseball than Pat. He's so deserving of that."
- Acta noted that center fielder Grady Sizemore (left knee) passed a checkup on Sunday and remains on target for Opening Day. So far, the same can be said for catcher Carlos Santana, who is also making his way back from a left knee operation.
- While you can never have enough pitching, Acta likes the way his bullpen is set up for the time being. As things currently stand, it's closer Chris Perez, with Rafael Perez, Tony Sipp, Jensen Lewis and Joe Smith under contract. Then, there will be a bevy of arms in the mix for the other jobs. Names that quickly rolled off Acta's tongue were Josh Judy, Zach Putnam, Bryce Stowell and Vinnie Pestano.
- Asked about Luis Valbueno's play in winter ball in Venezuela (.271 average, .341 on-base in 48 games), Acta had this to say: "The main thing is Luis' playing. He needs to get
his confidence back. Hopefully before the year's over, he gets up there in the .270s, .280s, .300s, and comes to camp re-energized."

Here's how you get Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco to buy you a drink.
You walk up to him and quote one of his rock band's most famous lyrics from their first hit "I Write Sins Not Tragedies": "Haven't you people ever heard of shutting the [expletive] door?"
"That would be a ballsy move," he laughed when asked how he would react to that sort of introduction. "I'm kind of disappointed that I haven't been greeted that way, yet. If I was to be greeted in anyway, I would chose that and I would either laugh it off or buy that person a beer."
It's a good bit of information to have, provided you're thirsty, seeing as Urie and the rest of Panic! will be in Lancaster on April 17 to perform at LAUNCH Music Conference and Festival.
We chatted with Urie when he was fresh off Panic!s Australian tour, covering everything from what's next for Panic!, what he does in his downtime and his advice for bands trying to make it big. He also shared one word of advice: "Don't cry about your weirdness."
First things first, have you been to Lancaster before?
"One time, before. We played a smaller show - it must have been 6 years ago. I remember the name and I remember I was there and I called it 'LAN-caster'... that was my big flub."
I'm sure we'll find it in our hearts to forgive you by now for that. Your tour is coming up though with Walk the Moon and a bunch of other great bands.
"I'm pretty excited We've played with Walk the Moon a few times. They're super awesome people. It's really nice when the people in the band are actually awesome and you get along with them really well."
Are you excited to go back on tour?
"When you're trapped in the studio for so long, you're like alright, I want to go tour and see how much we can play. Even when we're limited in production, it's fun to bring this energy to the live show. There's something so special about it, when you're in that moment there's some intimacy there. There are certain moments you lose your inhibition. It's a rare thing to be high off of music."
- The Shackeltons to release new album at LAUNCH Music Conference; lead singer talks love, loss and hope
LAUNCH is a conference geared for bands trying to learn how to take their music to the next level. Do you have any advice for them?
"I feel like I'm not a very good candidate for giving advice. My own thing is that I never gave up. I love what I do and it's a blessing that I'm able to do it on the scale this band has reached.
"The one constant thing is that we love doing it. As long as the love is there, you can't really go wrong and that's how I like to gauge the success...
"I feel like there are a lot of bands that are unsigned or unnoticed and underrated. It's nice to be able to play this festival and conference where you have so many different companies looking out for bands. People seem jaded about music, so it's nice to have an event where you can gather veterans and greener musicians and see what comes out of it."
You guys change your sound a lot, do you feel like that has helped you as a group?
"We do. For any musician, [it's good] to not pigeonhole yourself or stick to one sound. For me its more important to keep it exciting. That's really what it does, changing stuff. Just pushing for something different helps keep that excitement going...
"When you're writing a record, you're trying to impress yourself... and I think that's something we did at the beginning of the band. We really want to create something different.
"I think it's really great and that's why you hear so much cool music. Just the way that music has gone with rock and rap and genre bending stuff. That's new and exciting as well."
I know you just released "Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!" but is there another album in the works?
"I'm definitely down. I'm hoping to get in the studio closer to the end of this year. I definitely want to make another record.
"I've been writing kind of nonstop since we put the last album out. I'm hoping to close the gap between album to album."
Does being on tour help you write then? Because you're going to so many different places?
"It adds something when you're in a place you're not familiar with, you can write something you never could before. You're in a place and you're not aware of the culture or the thing that they surround themselves with. It's nice to wake up in a new city, feeling refreshed."
So you're touring, writing and going to the studio by the end of the year - have you gotten a break yet?
"We've had a couple weeks. It's been really nice. We were touring for quite a little bit. It's really nice to be able to take a little breather. I've been watching 'Walking Dead' and all kind of [expletive], eating pizza."
What's your favorite song to perform? I know this is a tough question.
"It's actually very, very tough. I love when we slow stuff down for a our show because it's usually pretty high energy. I think my favorite one is our song 'Nicotine' it's so much fun. I can't help myself. I go out into the crowd and dance."
Story continues below video
I know that Spencer [Smith, drummer] has had to take a break from touring because of addiction issues. Is he still recovering?
"When people first heard about [Smith], it was a huge shock. But we've been dealing with all kinds of stuff since we've been a band... With Spence, we just hung out yesterday. It's good to be able to hang out as friends and do the things we can. For him to say 'I need time of to focus on me,' - that's a big moment to be able to admit it to yourself, take a look back and evaluate how you want to go about things.
"I'm proud to report that Spence is doing really well... hopefully we can focus on a return at some point. Still, right now, the focus is him focusing on himself."

I also love salt and have low blood pressure. If I get a salt craving, I go for pickles, olives, especially kalamata olives, kimchi, or an avocado with hot sauce.
I know I've read somewhere on here that if you crave salt then eat salt. What I'm having an issue with is this, I'm not sure if it's my stress levels, lack of sleep, training, or what is the underlying cause of the craving. I've always craved salt, even as a kid. My mom loves to make fun of me for pouring salt into my hand and eating it any chance I could get. I'm still that way. I could eat TONS of salt. I have very, very low blood pressure so my doctor tells me to eat as much salt as I want. That's beside the point.
Right now my life is crazy stressful, my husband is on deployment and I'm home with a two toddlers; with not much help or any break at all. Right now I do some heavy lifting with a trainer 3-4 days a week for 30 minutes. I don't do a lot of walking because I'm just too tired. I get maybe 6 hours of sleep at night due to the baby waking up or me waking up and not being able to fall back to sleep. I also try to fast from dinner to lunch every day. With all of that said, I know stress and sleep can cause salt cravings. If I'm eating tons of salt already, what could be the problem? Adrenals? And how would I go about fixing this? I find myself eating salty snacks even if I'm not hungry. I always go for something like popcorn, I know; veggies in a lot of butter and salt, or cheese. In fact, I just ate a huge meal and am still trying to shake a salty food craving.
I also love salt and have low blood pressure. If I get a salt craving, I go for pickles, olives, especially kalamata olives, kimchi, or an avocado with hot sauce.
Just eat good salt!
from Seasalt's Hidden Powers
Vital Functions of Salt in the Body
1. Salt is most effective in stabilizing irregular heartbeats and, Contrary to the misconception that it causes high blood pressure, it is actually essential for the regulation of blood pressure - in conjunction with water. Naturally the proportions are critical.
2. Salt is vital to the extraction of excess acidity from the cells in the body, particularly the brain cells.
3. Salt is vital for balancing the sugar levels in the blood; a needed element in diabetics.
4. Salt is vital for the generation of hydroelectric energy in cells in the body. It is used for local power generation at the sites of energy need by the cells.
5. Salt is vital to the nerve cells' communication and information processing all the time that the brain cells work, from the moment of conception to death.
6. Salt is vital for absorption of food particles through the intestinal tract.
7. Salt is vital for the clearance of the lungs of mucus plugs and sticky phlegm, particularly in asthma and cystic fibrosis.
8. Salt is vital for clearing up catarrh and congestion of the sinuses.
9. Salt is a strong natural antihistamine.
10. Salt is essential for the prevention of muscle cramps.
11. Salt is vital to prevent excess saliva production to the point that it flows out of the mouth during sleep. Needing to constantly mop up excess saliva indicates salt shortage.
12. Salt is absolutely vital to making the structure of bones firm. Osteoporosis, in a major way, is a result of salt and water shortage in the body.
13. Salt is vital for sleep regulation. It is a natural hypnotic.
14. Salt is a vitally needed element in the treatment of diabetics.
15. Salt on the tongue will stop persistent dry coughs.
16. Salt is vital for the prevention of gout and gouty arthritis.
17. Salt is vital for maintaining sexuality and libido.
18. Salt is vital for preventing varicose veins and spider veins on the legs and thighs.
19. Salt is vital to the communication and information processing nerve cells the entire time that the brain cells work - from the moment of conception to death.
20. Salt is vital for reducing a double chin. When the body is short of salt, it means the body really is short of water. The salivary glands sense the salt shortage and are obliged to produce more saliva to lubricate the act of chewing and swallowing and also to supply the stomach with water that it needs for breaking down foods. Circulation to the salivary glands increases and the blood vessels become "leaky" in order to supply the glands with water to manufacture saliva. The "leakiness" spills beyond the area of the glands themselves, causing increased bulk under the skin of the chin, the cheeks and into the neck.
21. Sea salt contains about 80 mineral elements that the body needs. Some of these elements are needed in trace amounts. Unrefined sea salt is a better choice of salt than other types of salt on the market. Ordinary table salt that is bought in the super markets has been stripped of its companion elements and contains additive elements such as aluminum silicate to keep it powdery and porous. Aluminum is a very toxic element in our nervous system. It is implicated as one of the primary causes of Alzheimer's disease.
22. Twenty-seven percent of the body's salt is in the bones. Osteoporosis results when the body needs more salt and takes it from the body. Bones are twenty-two percent water. Is it not obvious what happens to the bones when we're deficient in salt or water or both.

bloodorchid is always right
I hate to be the party pooper in the 'salt love' thread, BUT adding additional salt over and beyond what is found naturally in whole unprocessed foods... is completely unnecessary.
I eat no additional sodium at all in my diet, except what is in foods naturally and a small bit that I add to dressings I whip up for salads (like a pinch to cover several days worth for two people), for medical reasons and it is a completely safe and healthy thing.
Humans have not always had access to bins of salt to toss onto every food that they pop into their mouths. For most of history/pre-history we did fine consuming little to NO additive salt in our diets.
There are still cultures where the peoples eat almost no additive salt.
As a matter of fact... looking at it from a Paleolithic perspective, most did not add any significant amount of salt to their food daily.
The minimum physiological requirement of sodium (sodium from all sources, not just salt) simply to sustain life has been estimated to be 500 mg of sodium per day.
Really a ridiculously easy amount to get...
Paleolithic humans consumed an estimated 750mg sodium daily... from foods.
A mere quarter tsp of salt has 600mg of sodium.
And that would be in addition to any foods that you've eaten. Meat, fish, milk and fermented milk products, eggs, and some vegetables are pretty significant sources of sodium.
Food Data Chart - Sodium
If you step away from the salt for a while you may find out just how maladjusted your taste buds have become if you tend to like very salty foods. There are foods that I used to enjoy, olives for instance, that now burn my mouth if I try to eat one as a treat... as if I'm chewing on a lump of solid salt. Even my husband, who eats slightly more salt than I do by sprinkling it on lightly and eating lunches out while with coworkers, has found that many foods prepared out in restaurants are no longer palatable because they are so salty he cannot taste anything else.
Yes, humans LOVE salt... almost as much as they love sugar.
That doesn't necessarily mean that more is better though.
I'm not saying that everyone needs to be as strict as I am. Obviously I have some very specific reasons to control my sodium intake. But it's something to consider.
Also, maybe consider that you may be out of balance. Traditionally people consumed very little salt but lots of potassium. If you are eating additive salty but not adding a potassium supplement to balance things out, you may be getting signals that seem like "eat salt" that are really cries for a better ratio.

And that's why I'm here eating HFLC Primal/Paleo.
If not for sea salt supplementation, I would be trapped indoors during our 'dry heat' summers~ seems I am prone to excess perspiration/rapid dehydration and electrolyte depletion. First symptom? I crave salt.Use of salt is as old as human history. Oldest records come from China. Some 2,700 years B.C.-about 4,700 years ago-there was published in China the PENG-TZAO-KAN-MU. A major portion of this writing discussing of more than 40 kinds of salt, including descriptions of two methods of extracting salt and putting it in usable form that are amazingly similar to processes used today.
ETA~ I'm talking about unprocessed sea salt, not that sodium chloride crap commonly refered to as 'salt'. Unbalanced for human needs, sodium chloride is not healthy or natural.

John & Mary (Griswold) Whiton
I'd love to compare notes with you on this family!
E-mail me firstname.lastname@example.com
From the WHITON FAMILY IN AMERICA published 1932
The family moved to Great Barrington and then about the year 1789 to Stockbridge, Mass. where they united in 1791 with the First Congregational Church, in which he was a deacon from 1817 to 1819. About 1812 he built a house in Stockbridge, which is still standing, having for many years been used as a rectory of the Episcopal Church, and is now occupied by a sister of a former rector. It was enlarged and modernized some years ago by the Architectural firm of McKim, Meade and White, who endeavored to retain as much of the original character as possible. There are several conveyances of realty to him recorded in Pittsfield between 1772 and 1824. He was a skilled cabinet maker and engaged in that business both in Stockbridge and in Ithaca, NY, to which place he removed and where he died March 24, 1827.
From the ITHACA (NEW YORK) JOURNAL, March 2, 1921
John Whiton, founder of the family in Ithaca, was born in 1763, a descendant of an old English family, members of which had emigrated from Kent, England, in the ship (Elizabeth Ann) to the Plymouth Colony in 1635. The family was also distinguished in Revolutionary days. John married Mary Griswold at Wintonbury, Connecticut in 1784 and they first settled in Stockbridge, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, removing to Ithaca with their children in 1819. George, the youngest son, came with his father's hired men, team and load of goods from Stockbridge, Massachusetts to Ithaca.
The story of their trip has been handed down to the present representatives of the family. It is said that at the close of a long day they came to the crest of East Hill, but looked in vain for Cayuga Lake, of which they had heard so much. They saw at first only the densely wooded hills and the deep valley. Wearily, they looked for signs of water until finally, they saw the bright gleam of the lake in the afterglow of a brilliant sunset through the darkening forest. Soon after they were resting and feasting before the glowing wood fire of the old-time tavern in the little hamlet of Ithaca. John Whiton, soon after arriving here, bought land and built the Whiton homestead, long known as the center of the social life of the village, full of good cheer and welcome to the people who came from the faraway eastern states.
The house is still standing on the corner of Buffalo and Geneva Street, having been remodeled and is now occupied by Thomas W. Summers. Mr. Whiton began his business, that of a cabinet maker on South Aurora Street, then the center of Ithaca. In this business he was succeeded by his youngest son, George. Many a piece of carved mahogany or rosewood now cherished in the homes of Ithaca and surrounding towns as priceless heirlooms was made by the Whitons, father or sons. (note from JTR: sure would love to find a piece of this furniture! There is said to be a Whiton "stamp" that identifies pieces made by the family)
John Whiton and Mary Griswold had nine children of whom three died in childhood. The other six - Mary, Luther, Clarissa, John, Julia and George, were all prominent in the early history of Ithaca.

Denise Greene, 53, of 207 Hartwell Ave., was charged Tuesday with grand larceny, forgery and falsifying business records, all felonies.
Greene is accused of taking the money from Examgen Inc., 1201 E. Fayette St., between Dec. 21, 2007, and Dec. 4, 2009. She accessed Examgen corporate accounts for her own personal use and benefit, police said.
Greene was hired by Examgen, an educational software and publishing company, on April 1, 2007, police said. She opened without permission a corporate credit card drawn from the company's Chase Bank account and began to use the card for personal reasons, police said.
When she neared the card's credit limit, Greene began paying the credit card using the company's checking account, police said. Greene continued to use the card, activating and transferring money from Examgen's line of credit to pay for its use, police said.
According to police, Greene withdrew $68,000 from the line of credit and $50,000 from the checking account. From May 2008 to December 2009, Greene made $75,986.45 in charges on her company credit card, police said.
Greene supplied the chief executive officer of Examgen with accounting records misrepresenting the financial activity going on, police said.
"I feel very bad for Denise Greene," Examgen CEO Luke Masouras said today. "We are a small family company."
Masouras said the faith and trust they put in Greene was misplaced. The company had checked Greene's references and contacted former employers before hiring Greene, he said.
"We thought we did due diligence," Masouras said.
"We only found out after the fact that this happened before," Masouras said.
He warned other businesses to do a thorough background check.
In 1995, Greene was charged by sheriff's deputies with forgery, falsifying business documents and computer tampering, according to The Post-Standard archives. Syracuse police Sgt. Tom Connellan said Greene received probation in those charges.
Masouras said his company has insurance, but unfortunately it will not cover much of the loss of money, "no where near what has been lost."
Masouras remained hopeful on his company's prospects.
"With this present economy, every setback is an issue," he said. "We will soldier on."
