- We are living in a time of trouble and bewilderment, in a time when none of us can foresee or foretell the future. But surely it is in times like these, when so much that we cherish is threatened or in jeopardy, that we are impelled all the more to strengthen our inner resources, to turn to the things that have no news value because they will be the same to-morrow that they were to-day and yesterday — the things that last, the things that the wisest, the most farseeing of our race and kind have been inspired to utter in forms that can inspire ourselves in turn. ~ Laurence Binyon (born 10 August 1869)

- Monsters remain human beings. In fact, to reduce them to a subhuman level is to exonerate them of their acts of terrorism and mass murder — just as animals are not deemed morally responsible for killing. Insisting on the humanity of terrorists is, in fact, critical to maintaining their profound responsibility for the evil they commit.
And, if they are human, then they must necessarily not be treated in an inhuman fashion. You cannot lower the moral baseline of a terrorist to the subhuman without betraying a fundamental value. ~ Andrew Sullivan

- 2010
- The one thing we know about torture is that it was never designed in the first place to get at the actual truth of anything; it was designed in the darkest days of human history to produce false confessions in order to annihilate political and religious dissidents. And that is how it always works: it gets confessions regardless of their accuracy. ~ Andrew Sullivan
- proposed by InvisibleSun
- 2011
- What modernity requires is not that you cease living according to your faith, but that you accept that others may differ and that therefore politics requires a form of discourse that is reasonable and accessible to believer and non-believer alike. This religious restraint in politics is critical to the maintenance of liberal democracy. ~ Andrew Sullivan

Looking to get back into Archery
When I was in middle school I was in the Archery Club, and I enjoyed it a lot. And since then I have been thinking about trying to get back into it as a leisurely activity. I am current 20. I am looking for a bow that could be good for what I am wanting to do that is not expensive. I am not all that strong so I would prefer the draw weight to be no more than 20-25 pounds max, especially for now, for back yard use. I would love some suggestions on some inexpensive bows that would be work. Also, as of right now I think I would prefer a Compound Bow, will probably be easier on me as a beginner. Eventually I want a Long Bow, mostly because I enjoy a challenge. I would really enjoy some input on some bows.
Barnett makes a youth bow called the vortex. It's adjustable drone 24-45 lb. and the draw length I adjustable from 21" to 27". Comes with a rest,3-pin sight, quiver and arrows. You can get them anywhere, Walmart, dunhams, mc sports. I bought one for my little brother 2 years ago and he's still using it. I think there about $160 or so. Bear archery also makes some good adjustable bows but are a little more expensive.

LMU Rallies Past BC in Dig Pink GameOctober 11, 2013
BREVARD, N.C.- The Brevard College Tornados grabbed a 25-16 win in the opening set and held a lead in the second set before the Lincoln Memorial Railsplitters rallied for a 3-1 win in Boshamer Gymnasium on Friday night.
The Railsplitters took the match by scores of 16-25, 25-23, 25-16, and 25-19.
With the opening set tied 15-15, the Tornados compiled an 11-1 run to grab the opening set in lopsided fashion. Fatima Gharachorloo, who finished with eight kills, had three during the run.
Back-to-back kills by BC freshman Savannah Cox gave BC a 15-10 lead in the second set before LMU mounted their comeback. The Railsplitters answered with a 6-1 run to tie the game a 16-16.
After a back-and-forth battle that saw BC take a 22-21 lead, LMU took four of the next five points to even the game at 1-1.
The Railsplitters took a 6-3 lead to open the third set after five unanswered points, and never relinquished that lead on their way to taking a 2-1 lead.
The Tornados didn't go quietly in the fourth set, establishing a 12-10 lead after an LMU service error. However, the Lady Railsplitters grabbed the reins behind a 10-3 run, taking a 20-15 lead.
BC got two points back with consecutive kills from Joy Oswalt and Erin Rollins, but LMU's Jazzy Oates eventually closed the match with a kill.
Rollins paced BC with 14 kills while Cox finished with 10.
The Tornados sported pink uniforms for their annual Dig Pink game in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The Tornados continue their three-game home stand Saturday afternoon as they host the Carson-Newman Eagles in Boshamer Gymnasium at 12 p.m.

You may need to get a bigger USB. BT5 wouldn't work for me until I used an 8Gb flashdrive and even with an 8Gb you don't have much space to play with.
Dear reader,
I am trying to boot backtrack on my windows notebook, these are the exact steps I took.
When I boot the USB, the screen just stays black.
Step 1
Format my USB (4GB) to FAT32.
Afther the format the properties of the USB says that of the 4GB, 3.7GB is left empty
Step 2
I run UNetbootin in administrator mode, I select the file BT5-KDE-32.ISO.
The file was downloaded from the official website.
I select the USB drive, and I let Unetbootin do its work. It stays at 39% for about 10 minutes, while its bussy with filesystem.squashfs.
It finishes and gives me the option to reboot.
Step 3
When the notebook starts up again, I press ESC to get to a menu. In that menu I select; "Select boot drive"
From that menu I pick the name of my USB stick 'Freecom'.
Now the screen stays black.
I have left it running for about 15 minutes, and it stayed black.
I use a HP pavilion DV5-1010ed.
What is going wrong?
You may need to get a bigger USB. BT5 wouldn't work for me until I used an 8Gb flashdrive and even with an 8Gb you don't have much space to play with.
In my very little experience, i used unetbootin first with a 4GB usb, and it goes bad and exactly the same error, i then decided to make the same process using the ULTRAISO tool. Burned the iso in my 4GB usb...., reboot, and this time everything was good.
I had antoher error: startx screen error with bloq mayus blinking, but thats another bug-fixed story.
Make my way and tell us how it was.
I'm having a similar issue. As for the thumb drives, I've tried it with an 8Gb and a 16Gb with same results.
Also, this happened to me once before I decided to use VM's for everything. Try waiting for a while then typing startx anyway. That worked for me for some reason.
World Domination is such an ugly phrase. I prefer the term World Optimization.

Pale salmon colored hues flash irreverently with the radiant golden peach shade of this gloriously large and vibrant imperial topaz ring of 15k yellow gold. The 10 mm by 11 mm cushion cut solitaire with an estimated weight of a generous 3.75 carats has been foiled and set closed back in a characteristic yellow gold rub over pinched collet. Note those charming little pinches of gold around the border.
Smashing in its presentation, the Georgian era ring has a smooth bulbous "basket" setting underneath to allow room for the gemstone and foiling. A plain understated shank completes the ring. Age never looked so vibrant or so fresh!
Important: This ring should not be in water for an extended period nor exposed to any other liquids, cleaning products or harsh chemicals. If considering as an engagement ring, please keep this in mind.
Date: Circa 1800.

REDLANDS - These are the times that seem to be the most difficult for a military family.
The Pattersons would love to see their son Colin, who has been in the Coast Guard since 2010.
Colin managed to work in a brief family visit earlier in the year but he will be on duty during the holidays.
"He was coming back from Panama and was in San Diego for a day. We went down there to be with him," said Lance Patterson, Colin's father.
Colin, 23, graduated from Redlands East Valley High School in 2007. It wasn't until 2010 that he settled on the Coast Guard. He went through basic training at the USCG Training Center in Cape May in New Jersey and is now stationed in Astoria, Ore.
"I knew very little about the Coast Guard," said Lance Patterson. "Now I know a lot more."
The Coast Guard operates under the Department of Homeland Security during peacetime, and can be transferred to the Department of the Navy via a request by the president at any time or by Congress during times of war.
The Coast Guard motto is Semper Paratus - Latin for "Always Ready" or "Always Prepared."
Colin is a petty officer third class. He was first stationed in Alaska.
"I am very proud of him," Lance Patterson said. "And I am very impressed with the Coast Guard."
"We always miss him," Lance said. "You try to get used to it, like getting used to having a kid away for college. But we definitely miss him."
When on duty Colin travels on a medium endurance cutter, a 210-foot patrol vehicle. He is often at sea two months at a time.
"I thought he would hate it," Lance said. "But he has a taste for it. I think he is doing all right."
Colin's crew will do fisheries enforcement and drug and immigration enforcement, often conducted in international waters.
"Those boats that try to bring marijuana or cocaine into the country, he heads off those boats," Lance Patterson said. "They patrol the waters."

I've been to thousands of lunches, many forgettable, but I will never forget one I had last year.
I was invited by Jeff Andrs, the man who had been dating my daughter, Katie, for some time.
Being an observant father, I figured something was up - blessing for a marriage proposal? - and that Jeff didn't want to talk about the weather.
I don't know who was more nervous, Jeff or me. Should I make him squirm for taking away daddy's little girl? Should I ask him about his financial status? Should I lecture him on how to be a good husband? Yikes! It was getting so complicated, and we hadn't even ordered yet.
Jeff started off by asking about my favorite baseball team, the Chicago Cubs. More sports talk followed. Our food came, and still nothing about any wedding proposal. I think I noticed Jeff sweating a little.
Finally, the father in me couldn't stand it any longer. "Hey, Jeff, is there something else you want to talk about?" I asked.
"Well, yes," he said as he straightened his back, looked me in the eye and asked me the question I had been anticipating - or, dreading? He said he loved Katie more than anything else in the world, that she made him a better person and he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. "I am asking your approval to marry her."
There it was, The Question. How was I to answer?
This was a centuries old ritual, a young man asking his prospective father-in-law for approval to marry his daughter. For one of the few moments in my life I was strangely speechless.
It was like something had hit me over the head, and I felt like I was dreaming, like Steve Martin in "Father of the Bride" when he was walking down the aisle with his daughter.
It was similar to a moment 32 years ago, when former reporter Dennis McDougal yelled across the Press-Telegram newsroom that I had an urgent call I'd better answer. It was my wife, Pat, calling from the doctor's office. She was headed across the street to Long Beach Memorial Hospital "to have this baby" and I better get there right away.
It was a good thing I hurried because about an hour later, at 1:33 p.m., Pat delivered Kathryn Leigh, a seven-pound, seven-ounce baby with a booming voice you could hear in another room. It was so fast, Pat was still wearing her lipstick.
Katie was determined at an early age. Pat remembers that when Katie was 10 months old she refused to eat baby food; she wanted adult food. She climbed out of her crib and slept in a twin bed. She wanted to be like her older sister, Kelly.
We had the usual parental worries about a growing daughter, but one incident nearly gave me a heart attack.
Katie and I were camping in the mountains as part of the YMCA Indian Princess program. About 2 a.m. I heard a noise, woke up and checked on Katie. She was not in her bed. With a flashlight, I went looking for her, in the bathroom, under the beds and then, with a growing worry, outside in the snow.
As I was about to turn on all the lights and alert everyone to a lost child, I noticed some stirring in another bed. I shined my light on the bed next to mine. There, huddled with another girl, was Katie. She had gone to the bathroom and gotten into the wrong bed.
Other memories came flooding back. Katie's first dance at age 3. Her first singing role in "Fiddler on the Roof" at Millikan High School. Her inspirational graduation speech at Millikan. Her determination to pursue a stage career in New York. Watching her sing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," one of our favorite songs, on the stage on a cruise ship to Canada. Katie running the New Jersey Marathon.
Katie is a risk-taker - even in spite of a pathological fear of spiders. On a vacation to Costa Rica I said I would let a tarantula crawl up my arm if she would do it first. I didn't like spiders any more than she did, but I figured this was a safe dare. But Katie stepped up, let the tarantula crawl up her arm to her neck and then said gleefully, "Dad, it's your turn."
Was all of this going to end now if she got married? I wondered how often I would even see her again.
Then thoughts of Jeff came into my head. Jeff was a good man, a solid guy who made my daughter happy. He was a risk-taker, too. Despite his fears, he went skydiving with Katie. He's a great cook. Heck, he even likes the Cubs! And, most of all, he loves Katie.
What was the matter with me, having a small pity party. I wasn't losing a daughter - I was gaining a son and expanding the family. Katie was going on to a new, exciting chapter in her life, as were her mother and me. That's what life and living are all about. That snapped me out of my trance, and I found myself still in the restaurant with Jeff sitting across from me, waiting for my answer to his question.
"You know what, Jeff," I said. "I've given this a lot of thought and all I can say is, `Yes, I would be honored if you married Katie. I know she will be in good hands."'
With that, I got up and gave him one of the hardest hugs I've ever given anybody.
Katie and Jeff will be married Saturday in Auburn. I can't wait to walk her down the aisle and see that look in Jeff's eyes as they begin their lives together.

Louis Riecke, Jr.Weightlifting, 1942-80
Lou joined the Navy after his first year of college at Louisiana State University. He was stationed in New Orleans at the Navy Medical Hospital for the duration of WWII. Upon his return to school, he won the NCAA weightlifting championship in 1947 and on three occasions captured the national YMCA title. It was at the National YMCA championship in Los Angeles that Lou set a 325-pound World Record in the snatch in the light-heavy weight division. Over the years, Lou and his friends continued his weightlifting regimen in his gym, which was set up in his garage. This also served as a convenient place for housing all of his trophies!
In 1964 at the age of 38, Riecke won the Olympic trials in New York and competed later that year in the Tokyo Olympic Games. Lou states that his favorite picture is the one the Times Picayune took of him, his wife, and their four daughters, Vicki, Ginger, Cindy, and Lee, as he was headed out for the Olympics. Prior to leaving for the Games in Tokyo, the American Olympic team visited the NASA space capsule production facility in L.A. It was reported that the capsule was a tight squeeze!
In 1970, Chuck Noll, head coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was replaying films of 13 straight disastrous football games. In the process, he discovered the definite correlation between strength and hitting. He called Lou and set up an interview, after which Riecke was hired to improve the strength of the then hapless Steelers. He designed a special apparatus that was nicknamed the Riecke-Rack and installed one at the Three Rivers Stadium at Pittsburgh and another one at the Steelers' training camp.
Riecke knew the value of strength training for maximizing athletic performance. He stated, "I operate on the theory that all NFL players are good athletes or they wouldn't be here, but I know if their strength is improved they'll hit harder, run faster, jump higher, and move quicker, because they have more horsepower." He went on to say, "There's no way for you not to know you're strong if you are, and if you're strong and know it, you'll find yourself doing things you wouldn't even attempt if you didn't know you're strong."
Coach Riecke was highly respected by other NFL franchises as well. John North, Head Coach of the New Orleans Saints, recognized the impressive job Riecke had done with the Steelers and was quoted as saying, "We'd like Lou with us year round, but I don't know if we can get him away from Pittsburgh. If we can't get him full time, we'll use him in the off season."
After the 2010 Super Bowl Party in New Orleans, this Legend in the Field of Strength and Conditioning was wearing something a bit more special than a team jersey, his four Super Bowl Rings, a testament to the tremendous impact of his contributions to the field!

Have you tandem breastfed?
I never thought I would tandem breastfeed. I applauded women who did it, but I never really considered doing it myself. When my oldest was about a year old, I became pregnant with my second child and my oldest was still breastfeeding. I knew that extended breastfeeding was beneficial, so weaning was not an option. I breastfed through my pregnancy and tandem breastfed for nearly a year. It was a wonderful experience, and I am glad that I was able to have the chance to breastfeed two of my children at the same time.
Have you tandem breastfed? What was your experience like?
30th December 2011 04:40 PM #2
I did tandem breastfeed. I found breastfeeding through pregnancy quite uncomfortable - though this did not deter my toddler. Once the baby was born I felt that tandem breastfeeding enabled a gentle transition for the toddler in coming to accept his little sister. In fact it helped develop a special bond - they were breastfeeding buddies and the toddler became fiercely protective of his sister.
Also another positive was that when my breasts became very full and uncomfortable that having two children feeding quickly remedied the situation.

It's an epic, stunning threeway when Iron finds himself in bed with Blake Harper and Jason Branch. First Branch takes turns sucking both Iron and Harper, before he ends up on his back with Iron in between his legs, sucking on Branch's cock while Harper teases his ass from behind. Harper and Branch then get into a 69 position and Iron fingers Harper's hole. The scene then flips to show Harper on his back, taking Branch's cock up his ass while Iron hungrily kisses his mouth. This goes on for some time, with Branch thrusting in and out while Harper moans out in ecstasy. The versatile Harper then climbs in behind Iron, who fucks himself back and forth on Blake's dick before they move into a position where Branch takes Harper's cock up his ass while he fucks Iron. Yowzers! The men flip around so that Harper is then standing while Iron works on his cock in front and Branch rims him from behind. Then both men share Harper's cock between them, licking, slurping and sucking until Blake pumps a load out as Iron fingers his hole. Then the boys flip around once again so that they can work each other's cocks over with their mouths, sucking in a variety of positions until Branch ends up sitting on Iron's face to get rimmed while he jerks his load onto Marcus' chest. There's even more maneuvering, as Harper fucks Branch from behind while Iron rims and fingers Blake's hole. After some more kissing, Branch moves around so that he can fuck Iron while Harper lies on his back jerking off while enjoying the view. The scene comes to a sensational finish with Iron and Branch stroking themselves over Harper until Iron shoots a great load onto Harper's dick.

Hannity Falsely Claims Panetta Contradicted Obama On Enhanced Interrogation
Blog ››› ››› THOMAS BISHOP
Fox News host Sean Hannity claimed Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta contradicted President Obama's administration by admitting that information obtained by enhanced interrogation led to the death of Osama bin Laden. In fact, Panetta's statement is similar to those made by the Obama administration: that the operation was put together with information from a variety of sources, and that information leading to the raid on bin Laden's compound could have been gathered without resorting to enhanced interrogation.
On the February 4 edition of his Fox News show, Hannity claimed Panetta contradicted the Obama administration's longtime assertion that very little information obtained from enhanced interrogation techniques contributed to the operation that resulted in the bin Laden raid. Hannity played a clip of Panetta on NBC's Meet the Press in which he responded to a question about the film Zero Dark Thirty and the use of enhanced interrogation to capture bin Laden, then later asked guest Liz Cheney why President Obama "can't even acknowledge what is an obvious, simple truth, that those EITs did given them intelligence that led to the capture and killing of bin Laden?"
In fact, Panetta explained on the February 3 edition of Meet the Press that the raid on bin Laden's compound could have been successful without any information gathered through enhanced interrogation.
CHUCK TODD (host): Zero Dark Thirty. We'll show a little bit here. We've got James Gandolfini, of course -- most people call him Tony Soprano -- playing you as a CIA director. I won't ask you to comment on the acting, but there's been a serious debate about the movie seems to say -- seems to indicate that enhanced interrogation techniques or torture were used to get information on bin Laden. Is that true?
PANETTA: Well, first of all, it's a movie. Let's remember that. I lived the real story with the --
PANETTA: -- operation. And the real story is that in order to put the puzzle of intelligence together that led us to bin Laden, there was a lot of intelligence. There were a lot of pieces out there that were part of that puzzle. Yes, some of it came from some of the tactics that were used at that time, interrogation tactics that were used. But the fact is, we put together most of that intelligence without having to resort to that.
TODD: And you think you could have gotten it without any --
PANETTA: I think we could have gotten bin Laden without that.
And Panetta's statement did not contradict statements made by the Obama administration. On May 4, 2011, CNN reported that White House press secretary Jay Carney also noted that intelligence leading to the death of bin Laden was gathered from numerous sources:
"I can say with certainty that no single piece of information, with the exception of the address of the compound, was ... singularly vital to this, because we're talking about tiny bits of information that were compiled by unbelievably competent professionals over nine and a half years," Carney said. "And it's impossible to know if one piece of information came from one source and was corroborated in another way; if, you know which thread held the cloth together, with the exception of the location of the compound."
Carney acknowledged that some information came from terrorism detainees, which he called one of many ways that information was gathered.
"Now, I can't categorically rule out that one piece of information" played a key role, "because we don't know," Carney said.
According to Talking Points Memo, Attorney General Eric Holder similarly stated:
"There was a mosaic of sources that lead to the identification of the people" who lead to bin Laden, Holder told members of the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. Pressed by Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA) on whether any information used to find bin Laden came out during enhanced interrogation, Holder said he didn't know.
Hannity has been a staunch advocate of enhanced interrogation techniques, asserting on both Fox News and his radio show that it led to the capture of bin Laden.

So, UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, here's your assignment if you choose to accept it.
Spend several weeks coaching men and women on Season 18 of "The Ultimate Fighter" against bitter rival Miesha Tate. Then go out and promote the UFC reality series.
And of course, everything you just experienced during filming is top secret. Good luck, champ.
And that is how it will be Tuesday when Rousey joins three other champions and four title challengers as the UFC World Tour touches down Tuesday at Club Nokia at L.A. Live.
The event, which starts at 11 a.m., is free and open to the public and will be hosted by UFC president Dana White, is part of the UFC's efforts to promote its four pay-per-view championship fights in the final four months of 2013. In a span of six days, the whirlwind tour will visit 11 cities in five countries.
But unlike heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez, light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, Rousey will be on her home turf Tuesday and have to be uncharacteristically tight-lipped.
"They say, 'Don't say anything about it or you'll be in big, big trouble,' " Rousey said from the road Sunday after she attended "UFC on Fox 8" in Seattle.
All that's known about "TUF 18" is that it's the first time women are coaching and the finales will feature 135-pound men and women.
Other than that, not much has changed. Rousey can't stand Tate, whom she defeated via armbar for the Strikeforce title in March 2012, and Tate feels the same.
Which should equal ratings gold for Fox Sports 1, the new sports network that debuts Aug. 17. 'TUF 18,' which wrapped filming a few weeks ago, will makes its splash Sept. 4.
"Yeah, there was all this crazy stuff and I have to be real particular about what I say," Rousey said, "which is probably the reason why I didn't like 'TUF' because I have to be so careful about what I said all the time. That made me crazy."
Joining Rousey on Tuesday will be Jones and light heavyweight challenger Alexander Gustafsson. Jones, the 205-pound champion who is regarded as the greatest pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC, will defend his belt against the Swedish prospect at UFC 165 on Sept. 21 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.
No strangers to Southern California, Velasquez and heavyweight challenger Junior dos Santos will also be in Los Angeles to promote their third title showdown as the main event at UFC 166 on Oct. 19 at the Toyota Center in Houston. Dos Santos first won the belt with a first-round knockout of Velasquez at UFC on Fox 1 in November 2011 at the Honda Center in Anaheim. Velasquez gained revenge and secured the gold with a dominating five-round decision over the Brazilian at UFC 155 in December.
Rounding out the world tour roster are St-Pierre, the longest-reigning champion in the UFC, and welterweight challenger Johny Hendricks. St-Pierre, who hasn't lost since 2007, will make the ninth defense of his belt when he faces the heavy-handed Hendricks at UFC 167 on Nov. 16 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
And then there's Rousey and Tate, who after the dust settles with the culmination of 'The Ultimate Fighter,' will square off at UFC 168 on Dec. 28 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. They are now sharing top billing with another highly anticipated rematch: new middleweight champion Chris Weidman vs. recently dethroned Anderson Silva.
The fight against Tate might be five months away, but at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel in regards to "The Ultimate Fighter" gag order.
"I would just say it was taxing, a taxing experience," Rousey said. "Every step of the way. We'll just leave it like that."

Jayme - from Farlington, KS
You use regular cake pans to bake the two sizes of cakes. For example, if you want to make a 2 tiered cake, with a 9 in. cake on the bottom and a 6 in. cake on the top, you bake the cakes in standardn 9 in. and 6 in. cake pans, just like if you were making a single tiered cake. When you're stacking the cakes, make sure you put dowel rods in the bottom cake, to support the weight of the cake on top. The cake on top should be left on a cardboard cake circle or plastic cake plate because it rests on top of the dowels and prevents the top cake from crushing the bottom cake.

Merle Haggard receives career & birthday recognition at ACM Awards
Listen to Merle Haggard on iHeartRadio
Merle Haggard has a few more well wishers for his birthday this year. The country legend turned 77 on Sunday, which wasn't forgotten at the Academy of Country Music Awards.
[PHOTOS: Red Carpet at the Academy Of Country Music Awards]
During the CBS broadcast, Garth Brooks, George Strait, and Miranda Lambert led the crowd in singing "Happy Birthday" to him.
But that wasn't the only reason why Haggard was recognized at the event. He's this year's Crystal Milestone Award recipient, in honor of his lengthy and successful career.
[PHOTOS: The Best of the Academy Of Country Music Awards]
Before Brooks encouraged the crowd to acknowledge Hag's birthday, he introduced the tribute performance featuring Lambert and Strait. After the birthday song, Merle gave a short acceptance, saying country music had been "great" to him all his life. He also thanked everyone for taking part in one of his "most eventful evenings."
Congratulations and Happy Birthday to Merle!

Racist prank at Oberlin leads to disciplinary action
(Oberlin) - A police report says a student at historically liberal Oberlin College took credit for some racist fliers earlier this year, calling them a joke meant to get an overreaction.
The student says in statements he gave after Oberlin College security detained him Feb. 27 that he printed out about 1,000 anti-Islam fliers and had also printed out a page of racist cards.
The student says in the statements he printed out the racist cards to show to friends as a joke and for the shock value.
Oberlin police Lt. Mike McCloskey tells The Associated Press Friday that prosecutors declined to file charges against two students and the investigation has been suspended for now.
Oberlin College spokesman Scott Wargo says the students are going through Oberlin's disciplinary system.

Beyond Binding or Bust
This post also appears in National Journal's Cancún Insider blog.
CANCUN – We'll see tomorrow here in Cancún whether countries are ready to move past binding-or-nothing in the international climate effort.
For the past five years, negotiators have deadlocked over whether and how to extend a legally binding climate regime beyond 2012, when the first Kyoto targets expire. In that time, over countless sessions, the U.N. climate talks have produced little in the way of tangible results.
Cancún is an opportunity for a more sensible approach.
The reality is that key players, starting with the United States, are not prepared to take binding commitments, and won't be for some time. Other countries must decide whether under those circumstances they're going to remain hell-bent on getting binding outcomes, or whether they're ready to move forward in other ways.
Part of the aim in Cancún is getting agreement on a package of concrete, incremental steps on key issues. Most of these issues – finance, adaptation, technology, and forestry – concern stronger support for developing countries. Another one – transparency – is about strengthening reporting and international review of countries' actions.
But the pivotal issue here – one that could bring the whole package down – is what countries can agree to say here and now about a future binding agreement.
Many developing countries are demanding certainty right now that developed countries will take new targets under Kyoto. But a number of developed countries – most notably, Japan – refuse to be roped into that. While the United States has no direct stake in that particular matter, because it's not a Kyoto party, it's insisting that any reference to a future binding agreement make clear that it would bind all major economies – something China, India and others are not about to concede.
The only way out is a finesse. While there's no way to get agreement now on the specific form or timing, parties should be willing to collectively declare that their aim going forward is indeed a binding agreement. That would leave all options on the table, including another round of Kyoto targets. While Kyoto's future can't be ensured, it can't be foreclosed either.
The risk is that some parties will continue to insist on their favored formulations, refusing to join in a more general declaration of intent. And that could mean no agreement here on anything.
For governments to give up a decent package of concrete steps because they can't agree on the shape of a future agreement is to act against their own and the collective interest. Let's prove instead that this process can produce results, even if countries aren't yet ready to go all the way.
Elliot Diringer is Vice President for International Strategies

Hello all i like this distro
Hi all. Been out of the loop with Backtrack for a while, but trying to get back into it. So far, so good w/BT5.
I hope I'll learn a lot about BackTrack !
Just stopping by to say hi. I have been using BT for a couple months now, just now decided to register to the forums.
Hello World.
hello all, lovin backtrack
Hello all.
Hope to learn a lot from here and shall contribute in forum whenever i can.
hyho everyone* nice to be here
Hey there!
I just noticed there is a special thread for hellos, so HELLO!
Happy to be here an excited to learn a new skill
Hiya everyone. I'm just starting out with backtrack and I am loving it. I started out with computers at the teeny tiny age of 3(now being 21). My dad used to be in the army and he would build systems. I would sit across from him, watch, and emulate, building my own. I've always been interested in Network security, but decided to join the military instead of going to college(I'm actually reenlisting, but as I've been picking up rank, I'm slowly finding time to work on my first passion). I do have a knowledge of hardware and software though. Granted this is my first foray into Linux, I'm not finding it too difficult. So far I've managed alright on my own(knowing a ton about Android obviously helped), but I expect to be knocking on all of your doors if and when I need help in the future.

Amgen is making a huge bet on biosimilars and helping to define the market.
The company announced that it is targeting 6 biotech blockbusters and will start selling them as biosimilars in 2017. The initial targets: Avastin, Herceptin, Rituxan, Erbitux, Humira and Remicade. That's over $40 billion in product. Even a small savings, like 15% to 20%, would result in a huge change in premiums.
It is still unclear what hurdles will need to be cleared from the FDA and/or other regulatory bodies, but a few other things have become very clear:

Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer spoke at Big Ten Media Day in Chicago at 1:30 p.m. today. During his news conference, Meyer stressed the importance of his offensive line, the health status of quarterback Braxton Miller and he named a sophomore who could make an impact for the Buckeyes this season.

In a poll conducted by the Cleveland Plain Dealer with media members, Ohio State was predicted to win the Big Ten.
The Buckeyes received 19 of 29 votes to win the Big Ten. Nine votes went to new East Division foe Michigan State while Nebraska received the final vote.
Obviously, the Buckeyes were chosen to win the East. Wisconsin was narrowly selected to win the West Division over Iowa and Nebraska.
The Plain Dealer has conducted the poll the last four years after the Big Ten stopped conducting it.To read more or comment...
Here is a news release from Ohio State concerning the kickoff time of its game against Kent State.
The Week 3 football game between Ohio State and Kent State will kick off at noon EDT, the Big Ten Conference confirmed today. The game will be televised on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2 with advance notice of the network carrier getting announced either 12- or six-days out.
Eight of Ohio State's 2014 football games now have a start time, including a record five primetime starts. TV networks and start times for the other four games – Oct. 4 at Maryland; Nov. 15 at Minnesota; Nov. 22 vs. Indiana and Nov. 29 vs. Michigan – will be determined with the six- or 12-day advance notice protocol.

With 123 players, it's not a surprise to see two Ohio State players on the Rotary Lombardi Award watch list. Those two players also aren't a surprise.
Senior Michael Bennett and sophomore Joey Bosa were both named to the award's preseason watch list. It's just the latest award to tab Bennett and Bosa.
Both players are on the watch lists for the Nagurski Trophy and Bednarik Award. Bennett is also on the Outalnd Trophy watch list.
The Lombardi Award is given every year to the best down lineman in college football. That means that both offensive and defensive players can win it.To read more or comment...
Despite being in a competition for the starting middle linebgacker job, Ohio State senior Curtis Grant was added to a preseason watch list this week.
Grant was named to the Butkus Award watch list. The award is given annually to the nation's top linebacker.
A former five-star recruit, Grant hasn't lived up to his blue chip status thus far for the Buckeyes. In 15 career starts, Grant has just 62 tackles, four tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks.
Incoming freshman Raekwon McMillian is expected to challenge Grant for the starting job inside this fall.To read more or comment...
Ohio State defensive linemen Michael Bennett and Joey Bosa have been tabbed in watch lists for multiple awards.
The Bronko Nagurski Trophy, given to the best defensive player in the nation, has 81 players on its watch list including Bennett and Bosa.
Bennett and Bosa are two of the 10 Big Ten players on the watch listt. The Big Ten has the fifth-most players on the watch list. The Pac-12 has the most with 18, followed by the SEC with 16 and the Big 12 with 13 and the ACC with 12.
Buckeyes linebacker James Laurinaitis won the award in 2006.To read more or comment...
Redshirt freshman defensive end Tracy Sprinkle has been dismissed from the Ohio State football team.
Sprinkle was arrested over the weekend and charged with rioting, failure to disperse and possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Sprinkle was previously suspended indefinitely by head coach Urban Meyer. Doug Lesmerises of the Northeast Ohio Media Group reports that Sprinkle's status with Ohio State could be revisited depending on what happens with his legal issues.
As Eleven Warriors notes, Sprinkle pleaded not guilty to his charges and was released on $2,000 bond.To read more or comment...
Ohio State's defensive line has taken a blow during the offseason.
The latest came over the weekend with the suspension of redshirt freshman defensive end Tracy Sprinkle was suspended indefinitely after being arrested and booked on charges of possession of drugs, drug paraphernalia and rioting/failure to disperse.
Although Sprinkle wasn't expected to be a big contributor for the Buckeyes, it's another loss on the defensive line. Jamal Marcus was dismissed from the team (and landed at Akron) and Noah Spence is suspended the first two games of the season.
The Buckeyes will rely heavily on sophomore Joey Bosa at one defensive end spot. Junior Adolphus Washington should be the starter on the other side, but has been inconsistent for the Buckeyes. He did have four sacks in the spring game, though, so he could be on the verge of a breakout season.To read more or comment...
Add Cincinnati St. Xavier's Justin Hilliard to Ohio State's 2015 football recruiting class.
Hilliard is rated by 247Sports as Ohio's best prospects and No. 2 outside linebacker in national composite rankings.
Hilliard narrowed his final college choices to Alabama, Iowa, Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State before announcing his decision today at his high school. He also had offers from Florida State, Southern California, Oklahoma, Missouri, Texas A&M and several other schools, including Akron.
In seven games last season, Hilliard had 76 tackles, seven tackles for loss, four sacks and an interceptions. He was limited to seven games because of a foot injury.To read more or comment...

Revision as of 07:11, 6 October 2007
This tutorial is the first part of a long (hopefully interesting) serial. In this serial we create a game step by step with Crystal Space. Every step will have a detailed description, with source code of course. I assume, you've read (at least) the first three tutorials in the Crystal Space Manual, if not, please, do it first. I assume too that you can build a new (working) CS application in your system, and you don't have issues when running CS apps in general.
Cally in the maze(Cim) will be a small, but real game. It will contain anything that full games have: GUI, background music, sound effects, story line, debug console, cheat mode, simple rules, load/save system, hall of fame, and installer (on Windows) or install script (on Linux, tested on Suse 10.0).
Cally in the maze falls under the LGPL license. My main system is WindowsXP with MSVC 8 Express. I use the latest stable version of Crystal Space (currently 1.0).
Step One: Creating a Python console
Very first step
The simpmap tutorial is a good starting point to begin Cally In The Maze. It has 3d graphics, collision detection, map loading, so it's ideal for us. You can find the details here: tutorial
Nothing new. We load and initialize the CS environment, load the necessary plugins, load a map, and create a collider actor and a camera. The user can move in the world and can jump. A wise programmer always makes a debug console for his app. Just look at walktest. You can watch, test, debug etc. your maps, or just play around, using console commands. We will use the console heavily later, let's go to create it.
Console basics
The console in CS has three parts, a console input ( it ensures that you can type into the console), a console output (it ensures that you can show the console's content), and a so called execution callback (when you press enter, this callback will handle your commands).
The CS SDK has one console input plugin, and two console output plugins (standard and fancy, we will use the standard, but you can use the fancy version, if you want). This execution callback struct is only a pure interface (no standard implementation of course, almost every application needs a different execution callback), so we need to implement this iConsoleExecCallback SCF interface. (There is not a big deal.)
We encapsulate the three classes in one class, called cimConsole. The console class provides all neccessary services, to toggle, show and hide, intialize, etc, the console. The console has an Initialize function, this function loads the needed plugins. The console class is easy to use ( I hope):
class cimConsole:public csRefCount { private: iObjectRegistry* object_reg; bool visible; public: csRef<iConsoleInput> conin; csRef<iConsoleOutput> conout; ~cimConsole(); bool Initialize(iObjectRegistry* obj_reg); void Show(); void Hide(); void Toggle(); bool HandleEvent (iEvent& ev); bool IsVisible(); };
About csRefCount
Some note about CsRefCount. This class will ensure, that cimConsole can be used with csRef template. Every class, that implement DecRef() and IncRef can be used with csRef. csRefCount implements this functions - so we contnue our work happily.
We need Python
We need a script interpreter, the console is useless without this. We don't write one (like in walktest), we will use Python. When Python is enough for the guys by NASA or Google, it will be enough for Cally in the maze too. You can download it from here: Python homepage
I use Python 2.3.5., but you can use newer Python version, if you want. Please build the cspython at least (and optionally _cspace.pyd) when this modules are not compiled yet.
Note for MSVC users
When you use MSVC, like MSVC8 Express, you can see, the official wkstypical solution don't have project for this. Don't worry, just follow my MSVC and Python buliding tutorial. Other option: you can download the dll here: cspython.rar
This dll requires CS1.0, Python2.3.5 and works with MSVC8 Express only (and maybe with other MSVC8 editions). Ok, Python is ready to work, let's go to create an execution callback!
Creating an execution callback
struct ExecCallback : public scfImplementation1<ExecCallback,iConsoleExecCallback> { ExecCallback () : scfImplementationType (this) { } virtual ~ExecCallback () { } virtual void Execute (const char* cmd); csRef<iScript> python; bool InitPython(iObjectRegistry *obj_reg); };
We implement the iConsoleExecCallback struct. This struct has one member function only, the Execute function. We add an InitPython function, and a reference for the python module.
We hide this struct inside the main Console class, (the app's other elements don't need to reach this). The console class will be something like this:
class cimConsole: public csRefCount { private: iObjectRegistry* object_reg; struct ExecCallback : public scfImplementation1<ExecCallback,iConsoleExecCallback> { ExecCallback () : scfImplementationType (this) { } virtual ~ExecCallback () { } virtual void Execute (const char* cmd); csRef<iScript> python; bool InitPython(iObjectRegistry *obj_reg); }; bool visible; public: csRef<iConsoleInput> conin; csRef<iConsoleOutput> conout; ~cimConsole(); bool Initialize(iObjectRegistry* obj_reg); void Show(); void Hide(); void Toggle(); bool HandleEvent (iEvent& ev); bool IsVisible(); };
Ok, we go to write the implementation.
void cimConsole::ExecCallback::Execute(const char *cmd) { //we call the python interpreter: python->RunText(cmd); }
We call the python interpreter(the RunText function send our text to the Python interpreter) ,and the execution is done (let's work python!). We initialize the python binding with this code:
bool cimConsole::ExecCallback::InitPython(iObjectRegistry *obj_reg) { python = csQueryRegistryOrLoad<iScript> (obj_reg, "crystalspace.script.python"); if (!python) { csReport (obj_reg, CS_REPORTER_SEVERITY_ERROR, "cim.console", "Can't load the python script module!"); return false; } python->RunText("from cspace import *"); if (!python->LoadModule("cshelper") ) return false; return true; }
We try to load the python plugin first. When done, we import two python module. The cspace module is essential, when we want to use CS functions from python. (Officialy the cspython plugin loads cspace at startup, but I have to load it manually for some reason .).
These scipts are in the CS/scripts/python folder.
The cshelper module is a very useful, it redirects the python stdout and stderr streams to the reporter plugin. The reporter uses our console to show the messages, so we can see the Python interpreter's any anwser.
Note, when you run the app with –python-enable-reporter comandline option, the cshelper module will be loaded internally, you don't need to load this from code.
Finishing our console class
bool cimConsole::Initialize(iObjectRegistry* obj_reg) { object_reg = obj_reg; conout = csQueryRegistryOrLoad<iConsoleOutput> (object_reg, "crystalspace.console.output.standard"); if (!conout) { csReport (object_reg, CS_REPORTER_SEVERITY_ERROR, "cim.console", "Can't load the output console!"); return false; } conin = csQueryRegistryOrLoad<iConsoleInput> (object_reg, "crystalspace.console.input.standard"); if (!conin) { csReport (object_reg, CS_REPORTER_SEVERITY_ERROR, "cim.console", "Can't load the input console!"); return false; }
We load or query the csconin and csconout plugins, the csQueryRegistryOrLoad template is very useful to do this easily. When everything is fine, we bind our console input to the console output, set the prompt, create a new execution callback object, and bind to the console input.
conin->Bind (conout); conin->SetPrompt ("cim:"); ExecCallback* cb = new ExecCallback (); conin->SetExecuteCallback (cb); if(!cb->InitPython(object_reg)) return false; cb->DecRef (); conout->SetVisible (false); return true; }
When the console gets an event, we delegate it to the console output plugin:
bool cimConsole::HandleEvent(iEvent &ev) { return conin->HandleEvent(ev); }
This functions control the console's visiblity:
void cimConsole::Hide() { visible = false; conout->SetVisible(false); } void cimConsole::Show() { visible = true; conout->SetVisible(true); } void cimConsole::Toggle() { visible = !visible; conout->SetVisible(visible); } bool cimConsole::IsVisible() { return visible; }
The console is ready. We create one instance in the main app. Add the following private member to the cimGame class:
Final steps
This comes into the OnInitialize function (cim.cpp):
csRef<cimConsole> console; console.AttachNew(new cimConsole); if ( !console->Initialize(GetObjectRegistry() )) return ReportError("Failed to initialize console!"); console->Show();
This comes to the OnKeyboard function:
//Old code: csKeyEventType eventtype = csKeyEventHelper::GetEventType(&ev); if (eventtype == csKeyEventTypeDown) { // The user pressed a key (as opposed to releasing it). utf32_char code = csKeyEventHelper::GetCookedCode(&ev); //End old code //The user pressed tab to toggle console if (code == CSKEY_TAB) { console->Toggle(); return false; }
When the user presses the TAB key, we change the console's visiblity. When the console is active, we have to delegate all keyboard event to the console class:
if (console->IsVisible() ) return console->HandleEvent(ev);
Finally, we have to check, when the user presses the arrays, that console is visible or not. When visible, we don't make any move in the 3d world:
void cimGame::ProcessFrame () { // First get elapsed time from the virtual clock. csTicks elapsed_time = vc->GetElapsedTicks (); csVector3 obj_move (0); csVector3 obj_rotate (0); if (!console->IsVisible()) { if (kbd->GetKeyState (CSKEY_SHIFT)) { // If the user is holding down shift, the arrow keys will cause // the camera to strafe up, down, left or right from it's // current position. if (kbd->GetKeyState (CSKEY_RIGHT)) // etc.
On the FinishFrame function, we render the console output onto the screen:
void cimGame::FinishFrame () { // the console rendering part if ( console->IsVisible() ) { g3d->BeginDraw (CSDRAW_2DGRAPHICS); console->conout->Draw2D (0); g3d->BeginDraw (CSDRAW_3DGRAPHICS); console->conout->Draw3D (0); } // Just tell the 3D renderer that everything has been rendered. g3d->FinishDraw (); g3d->Print (0); }
And now...
And now compile the app and test it. With the TAB key you can toggle the console, and you can add regular Python commands, Python answers on the console. We're done. We have a console, we can control his visiblity, we call python to interpret our commands.

Subject: Rare Edition of 4-text Hamlet Available from Folger
The Folger Library has just digitized the rare, proof copy of Teena Rochfort Smith's Four-Text Edition of Shakspere's Hamlet. This was prepared in 1883 and never published, likely due to Teena's tragic death soon afterwards, but the Folger acquired a copy of the proofs.
The story is told by Ann Thompson in "Teena Rochfort Smith, Frederick Furnivall, and the New Shakspere Society's Four-Text Edition of Hamlet," SQ 49 (1998): 125-39.
Here is the reference with links to the record in our online catalog and to the fully digitized item:
Shakespeare, William, 1564-1616. [Hamlet] A four-text edition of Shakspere's Hamlet : 1. quarto 1, 1603 -- 2. quarto 2, 1604 -- 3. folio 1, 1623 -- 4. a revized text : in parallel columns / edited by Teena Rochfort Smith. 1883. PR2807 1883b Sh.Col., 21 images. (Hamnet, LUNA)

Has anyone TTC twins?
I have two daughters and although my husband wants 8 kids, I don't think I could manage that many children! We have twins in the maternal side and I'm still breastfeeding, plus I'm willing to take supplements to increase fertility. Just wondering if anyone has attempted to TTC twins and succeeded?
12th April 2014 05:41 AM #2
Dear Susannah,
Thank you for your question. Whilst I don't have any personal experience of trying to conceive twins I do remember that we had this previous discussion on the forum and ways to help with conceiving twins. I hope you find this helpful.
I wish you all the best.

Nat Geo explores a hidden paradise for the first time!
I'm Lucie McNeil and this is National Geographic On Assignment—your link you to thousands of Nat Geo Expeditions around the globe.
Today, we're off to the Big Island of Hawaii. Few places on our planet remain unexplored, but one of them is here in Hawaii, on the eastern slopes of the Mauna Kea Volcano.
National Geographic's Eric Leifer and his team went on a quest to find out what lies inside the untouched canyons of this remote area....and film it!
Their footage reveals them struggling through countless waterfalls and nearly impenetrable vegetation, even jumping off a small cliff into a pool of water below.
By documenting this pristine forest, the team hopes to be able to fill in another blank spot on our maps.
That's National Geographic On Assignment—your link to our Explorers.

End of Life Care for Pets FAQ
Coping with the impending loss of a pet is one of the most difficult experiences a pet parent will face. Whether your furry friend is approaching his golden years or has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, it's important to calmly guide the end-of-life experience and minimize any discomfort or distress. As your pet's health declines, you may elect to care for your pet at home-with the supervision of a veterinarian-or you may decide to end his suffering with euthanasia.
Whatever course you choose, you're not alone-the ASPCA is here to help. Below are the answers to some frequently asked questions about making your pet's final days peaceful and dignified.
My Pet Is Elderly and Will Soon Pass Away. How Can I Make My Home More Comfortable for Her?
The most important thing you can do for your elderly pet is to minimize any pain or distress she's experiencing at the end of her life. First, be sure to consult with your veterinarian and treat any health problems, since undiagnosed issues can cause discomfort and rapid deterioration.
Make your pet feel secure by surrounding her with her favorite things, like a warm blanket or special squeaky toy. Since pressure sores can develop in pets with limited mobility, it's also essential to provide a warm sleeping spot with plenty of cushioning.
Some older pets may develop incontinence, or the loss of bladder control, so be sure to check your furry friend regularly for any wetness or soiling. If your pet needs help getting up to urinate or defecate, you can purchase a sling or use a large towel to wrap under her body and assist her.
What Determines a Good Quality of Life for My Pet?
When your pet's quality of life deteriorates due to an untreatable disease or aging, please speak with your veterinarian and family members about end-of-life issues.

Following Cory Monteith death 'Glee' will go on
(TMZ) - "Glee" is going full steam ahead without Cory Monteith - and TMZ has learned, the show's writers have called an emergency meeting today to figure out how to work him out of the story.
Sources close to production tell TMZ, "Glee is definitely not canceled. If you look at the dollars and cents of the show and that it was very much an ensemble with new kids being added last year when some graduated. It's clear that the show wasn't about one character."
The source says producers are taking their cue from shows like "8 Simple Rules" and "The West Wing," which have also suffered real-life deaths ... the lesson being: one character doesn't make or break a show.
The source also adds, "The producers and writers are taking time to meet and figure out how to best address this situation in the context of Glee. No decision has been reached about a script yet, as it's still early."

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Despite the hefty ticket prices, D'Angelo and his band, the Soultronics, put on a blazing show that quickly had the many pretty thangs in attendance rushing the stage and dancing in the aisles. With the lights dimmed low, the Virginia-bred funkster unleashed his smooth, soulful grooves on a stage that resembled the hotspots of a different era. D'Angelo's New Soul Revue felt like one long, extended -- and blissful -- jam. Oh, yeah.
Yes, it's a school night, but that doesn't bother the lively and loyal crowd on the dance floor at Rock Island. So What, a weekly dance night at this LoDo institution, finds DJs K-Nee, Style 'N Fashion and Aztec playing just about anything they and the crowd feel like. The Tuesday-night gig grew out of K-Nee's So What radio show on KUVO eight years ago and has been spinning an eclectic mix of funky, soulful grooves combining acid jazz, Afrobeat, nu jazz, hip-hop and other sounds in various locations ever since. So watcha, watcha, watcha want?
A pub named Streets of London might seem an unlikely place for a night of country-flavored entertainment, but don't tell that to DJs Stagger Lee and Chester Fields. These good ol' boys are the hosts of Country Gone Wrong, an inside-out C&W show that pairs heartbreak with hilarity. Country classics and obscure hillbilly odes segue into X-rated Johnny Paycheck tunes and rip-snorting stuff from new alt-country acts. And when these DJs start riffin' on a theme, there's no stopping them. Who knew there were so many tunes about chickens, truckin', cheatin' and alcohol? Hank definitely didn't do it this way, but he'd love it all the same.
Jake Jabs came out fighting when the News and Post announced their proposed JOA. But then, he's taken on wilder beasts than rampaging publishers, as becomes clear in the first few pages of his self-published autobiography, An American Tiger ($19.95 at an American Furniture Warehouse store near you, or online). The rags-to-recliners story starts with Jabs's childhood on a hardscrabble farm in Montana and ends with his triumphant crowning as the National Home Furnishing Association's 2000 Retailer of the Year; along the way, Jabs also manages to include dozens of pages from his American Furniture Warehouse customer-service and employee policies. But then, Jabs knows all about how to overstuff a package.
Recorded and/or filmed at Red Rocks, Road Rock V.1, an in-concert CD, and Red Rocks Live, a DVD, aren't just fine documents of Neil Young's undimmed musical energy. They're also reminders that the natural amphitheater located in the foothills west of Denver remains the most primordial place to see a concert in these United States.
Mark Bliesener's decision to expand his musician consulting business to the Web is a gift to bands and artists anywhere, not just those who share his Denver area code. Bliesener is what those in the music industry refer to as an "insider": a former critic, performer, publicist and manager who now helps artists at all levels improve their chances of making a living at this thing called music. Bandguru.com's primary function is to introduce potential clients to Bliesener's background and services for hire, but it also contains a wealth of information that's free for the clicking, including an exhaustive listing of American and international record labels and Web links galore. Guru, we have so much to learn from you.

Jason Aldean, Tennessee Ernie Ford Achieving Chart Milestones
Listen to Jason Aldean Radio on iHeartRadio
Country stars from today and yesterday are making big moves on the charts. Billboard.com says Jason Aldean is burnin' up the Hot Country Songs list with his new single, "Burnin' It Down."
The track has jumped from last week's number 42 debut to the top spot, and breaks the record Florida Georgia Line just set with "Dirt" for the largest leap in the chart's history.
Meanwhile, the late Tennessee Ernie Ford is back on the Country Albums chart for the first time in nearly 40 years with "Amazing Grace: 14 Treasured Hymns." At number 19, it's the week's the highest-debuting country album as well as Ford's highest-ever placement on that chart. The disc is starting its run on the Christian Albums list at number nine to become Ford's first top ten on any Billboard chart since 1965.
