Downtown Eureka Springs.
Head for the hills, blues fans: For four days, the mountains and valleys of Eureka Springs are going to be echoing with electric, Delta, Chicago, Texas, 12-bar and just about every other type of blues you can imagine when the annual Eureka Springs Blues Weekend returns to a slew of venues and bars in the historic downtown. The lineup includes Elvin Bishop, the Chicago blues icon and founding member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band; Coco Montoya, the celebrated southpaw who spent years backing John Mayall as one of the legendary Bluesbreakers, and Tinsley Ellis, the high-energy and higher-volume electric guitarist, headline the festivities. Rounding out the line-up: Marquise Knox, a 20-year-old making waves in blues circles; Little Joe McLerran, who was recently tapped by Jazz at Lincoln Center and the U.S. State Department to be an American musical ambassador to the Middle East; and Rosie Ledet, an award-winning zydeco musician, among dozens of others. Weekend passes are sold out, but tickets to most individual shows are still available at the festival's website, EurekaSpringsBlues.com.
Mulberry Mountain, Ozark. $29 and up.
It's been three years since Wakarusa, the annual music and outdoors festival, relocated to Arkansas and, since, organizers have been focused on recreating the sights, sounds and smells of your dad's hippie fests: jam bands, light shows, knotted hemp, stray clouds of sticky icky icky smoke. Stay fast, we say. But we're thrilled to see the festival flirt with big names outside of the proverbial drum circle. This year's line-up welcomes back the regular cast of friendlies — Ben Harper and Relentless 7, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Umphrey's McGee, STS9 — while making room on stage for a few bright-lit names. Leading the pack of surprises: My Morning Jacket, the not-Southern-rock Southern rockers whose career path has taken the band from fuzz-ball "Live Rust" acolytes to ambitious, epochal critical darlings. The festival showcases other drawling indie acts like Mumford & Sons, the folk ravers who were handed the "Best New Artist" and "Best Rock Song" Grammys last year; the Oscar-winning songwriter Ryan Bingham; and a soon-to-be-huge Nashville grrrl-country act, Those Darlins. The festival seems to be expanding its techno offerings, as well, booking Thievery Corporation, the jazzy, trip-hop duo; Shpongletron, a jam-friendly electro-eclecticist; and Austin electro-rockers Ghostland Observatory. Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, those much-celebrated soul revivalists, also duck into the festival for a Friday evening set. Other notable names: Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Toots & the Maytals, Lucero, Minus the Bear, Budos Band, Lanhorne Slim, Peelander-Z and, one of Arkansas's contributions to the festival, our beloved two-headed beast, Tyrannosaurus Chicken.
9 p.m., Cornerstone Pub. $20 adv.
With every new track, it gets harder to justify listening to any post-Rikers Lil Wayne. Jay Electronica is brilliant, but – imperfection be damned – he won't make a peep for months at a time. Ditto Andre 3000. Bun B and Scarface are already part of the canon. So who are we supposed to get in a tizzy about? Right now, I and thousands of others are looking to Big K.R.I.T. to take the wheel and keep the South on track. Only 24, the Meridian, Miss., native has gone from rap-blog favorite to emcee-to-beat over the last year, writing, producing and releasing two of the best mixtapes in years with "K.R.I.T. Wuz Here" and its follow-up, "Return of 4Eva," my pick for the best rap album of the year by a country mile. It's essential listening, the sound of a buzzy draftee defying the high expectations and knocking any potential "over-" labels off of "over-hyped." Since, K.R.I.T. (and his logo, a repurposed Basquiat crown) has broken through the Internet bubble, getting co-signs from NPR and the New York Times. He's crossed the Mississippi to visit Little Rock a few times over the years, but this may be your last time to see the next big thing up close and without binoculars. K.R.I.T. gets local support from members of the Conduit Fam: Arkansas Bo, one half of Suga City, opens alongside 607, who, alongside his brother Bobby, uses the night to release the latest Ear Fear album, "Art Class." Because, as Lord Six says, "everyone enjoyed their mandatory art class."
8 p.m., Maxine's, Hot Springs. $6 adv., $8 d.o.s.
Let it be known that we're pretty sweet on Shoog. Every Monday afternoon from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., local lady on the scene Cheyenne Matthews takes to the KABF 88.3 airwaves to host an infectiously ramshackle block of local music. If the tunes aren't dialed up from her iPod encyclopedia, they're performed, live on the air, from the rotating cast of locals who pack, elbows to butts, in the tiny Main Street studio. It's one of the many small charms that Little Rock has to offer. And we want to see it keep keepin' on. This weekend, the show is raising money for new equipment for the radio station by heading down the road to Hot Springs alongside a crew of Shoog regulars. The night's lined up to offer sets from Adam Faucett, the inimitable local; Ace Spade & the Whores of Babylon, those long-tenured psychobilly prowlers; Bryan Frazier, who recently released a career-spanning anthology; Sweet Eagle, the testosterone-jacked crew of local Detroit rockers; and The Walking Lawsuits, a Hot Springs trio with one foot in the '50s and an amp in the early-'90s.
9 p.m., White Water Tavern. $10.
Our man Luke Hunsicker's big-hearted legacy is going to live on for a long time if Little Rock has anything to say about it. During his fight with brain cancer, members of the local musical establishment banded together for a string of concerts, raising funds for medical bills addressed to the multi-talented musician and general smile-about-town. And even now, nearly a year after he passed away, the events keep coming. This weekend, White Water hosts a benefit show to rally money and support for the Lucas Clayton Hunsicker Scholarship Fund, which provides a yearly stipend to a high school senior from Luke's alma mater, Parkview High, who plans to pursue an education in the arts. Saturday, expect a helping of '50s doo-wop, pop and soul – dancing and singing encouraged, if not irresistible – from a cast of Hunsicker cohorts and local musicians. Also, a wall of locally-made art pieces will be on display with sales going to the scholarship fund, as well.
3:30 p.m., North Shore Riverwalk Park. $34.
We're in the deep end of summer festival season, but make no mistake: This traveling showcase is the most Southern-fried of them all. The hyper-nomadic, red-headed septuagenarian has wrangled up a crew of hard-edged country singers to join him for the better part of five weeks, crisscrossing the map and laying into the guitars for Willie Nelson's Country Throwdown, a sort of Warped Tour for the country crowd. Willie, of course, headlines. But a crew of young torchbearers round out the cast. Jamey Johnson, Randy Houser and Lee Brice, all Nashville slingers with a history of heavy songwriting, share the bold print at the top of the line-up. Two other stages feature up-and-comers like Brantley Gilbert, Craig Campbell, Lukas Nelson and the Promise of the Real and others, including Little Rock regular Austin Lucas, whose latest record, "Live at the White Water Tavern," was recorded at the watering hole of champions and released by local Travis Hill's alt-country imprint, Last Chance Records.
2 p.m., "The Pink House." Free.
Conway, Ark., may not strike you as a bastion of LGBT culture. And you'd be right. But for eight years, Robert Loyd and his partner of 35 years, John Schenck, have spearheaded the annual Conway Pride Parade and Festival, which draws hundreds of paraders out to the streets. Kicking off at 2 p.m., the parade departs from "The Pink House" on 1605 Robinson before making the march to Simon Park. The festival offers food, refreshments, live music from Dee Jay MoonGod and a slate of drag queens, drag kings and live singers throughout the afternoon. For more information on one of Arkansas's biggest pride parades, visit ConwayPride.com.

This is coming from a VERY open-minded person, I attend the LDS church every sunday and also practice Rastafarianism, but i apply my mormon beliefs to it. I dont smoke.edit on 27-8-2012 by Rastafari because: (no reason given)

But it's funny, because in some posts, you're pushing for "progress". In others, you want to hold society back. Interesting.
One Big Brother is, of course, a socializing elite (as we know, several cut-rate brands are on the shelves). Miss Rand, as the enemy of any socializing force, calls in a Big Brother of her own contriving to do battle with the other. In the name of free enterprise, therefore, she plumps for a technocratic elite (I find no more inclusive word than technocratic to bracket the industrial-financial-engineering caste she seems to have in mind). When she calls "productive achievement" man's "noblest activity," she means, almost exclusively, technological achievement, supervised by such a managerial political bureau. She might object that she means much, much more; and we can freely entertain her objections. But, in sum, that is just what she means. For that is what, in reality, it works out to. And in reality, too, by contrast with fiction, this can only head into a dictatorship, however benign, living and acting beyond good and evil, a law unto itself (as Miss Rand believes it should be), and feeling any restraint on itself as, in practice, criminal, and, in morals, vicious — as Miss Rand clearly feels it to be. Of course, Miss Rand nowhere calls for a dictatorship. I take her to be calling for an aristocracy of talents. We cannot labor here why, in the modern world, the pre-conditions for aristocracy, an organic growth, no longer exist, so that impulse toward aristocracy always emerges now in the form of dictatorship. Nor has the author, apparently, brooded on the degree to which, in a wicked world, a materialism of the Right and a materialism of the Left first surprisingly resemble, then, in action, tend to blend each with each, because, while differing at the top in avowed purpose, and possibly in conflict there, at bottom they are much the same thing. The embarrassing similarities between Hitler's National Socialism and Stalin's brand of Communism are familiar. For the world, as seen in materialist view from the Right, scarcely differs from the same world seen in materialist view from the Left. The question becomes chiefly: who is to run that world in whose interests, or perhaps, at best, who can run it more efficiently? Something of this implication is fixed in the book's dictatorial tone, which is much its most striking feature. Out of a lifetime of reading, I can recall no other book in which a tone of overriding arrogance was so implacably sustained. Its shrillness is without reprieve. Its dogmatism is without appeal. In addition, the mind which finds this tone natural to it shares other characteristics of its type. 1) It consistently mistakes raw force for strength, and the rawer the force, the more reverent the posture of the mind before it. 2) It supposes itself to be the bringer of a final revelation. Therefore, resistance to the Message cannot be tolerated because disagreement can never be merely honest, prudent, or just humanly fallible. Dissent from revelation so final (because, the author would say, so reasonable) can only be willfully wicked. There are ways of dealing with such wickedness, and, in fact, right reason itself enjoins them. From almost any page of Atlas Shrugged, a voice can be heard, from painful necessity, commanding: "To a gas chamber — go!" The same inflexibly self-righteous stance results, too (in the total absence of any saving humor), in odd extravagances of inflection and gesture — that Dollar Sign, for example. At first, we try to tell ourselves that these are just lapses, that this mind has, somehow, mislaid the discriminating knack that most of us pray will warn us in time of the difference between what is effective and firm, and what is wildly grotesque and excessive. Soon we suspect something worse. We suspect that this mind finds, precisely in extravagance, some exalting merit; feels a surging release of power and passion precisely in smashing up the house. A tornado might feel this way, or Carrie Nation.

Firefighters told News 4 the accident occurred near the intersection of Elm and Duschene in St. Charles. According to authorities, the driver lost control and laid his motorcycle down before he thrown off the motorcycle. Police said he then hit a school crossing standard.
Authorities said he was then taken to a local hospital.

You'd think the New Jersey Nets, from top down, would be dancing in the street, united under one banner of success, ecstatic over the prospect of a great triumph.
Instead of celebrating, there is an underground campaign to oust Lou Lamoriello, the team's chief executive, whose hard-nosed leadership played a large role in bringing the Nets from chumps to champions.
This once-forlorn franchise is a victory from continuing one of the most sensational turnabouts in sports: back-to-back Eastern Conference championships after so many years of gloom. Yet Lamoriello is on the hot seat. Let's get this straight: The hockey team he runs is playing for the Stanley Cup, the basketball team he has led out of the valley of doom is a game from the NBA finals, and Lamoriello is feeling heat.
This is not a plea for "Poor Lou." Lamoriello is not the sort of figure who elicits sympathy. He is not a hat-in-hand executive who makes his case in the news media and seeks the limelight. He is a professional who doesn't believe in being warm and cuddly when it comes to running sports organizations.
The Nets used to be warm and cuddly and dysfunctional. They lost much more than they won and were run like a variety store where ownership treated the players like toys instead of professionals. Lamoriello has ruled the Nets, and its owners, with an iron fist. He was the person for this moment in the team's history. Three seasons ago, the Nets were one of the worst-run organizations in the NBA Now the franchise is a victory from reaching its second consecutive NBA finals, with a good shot at winning its first championship.
With no performance issues to attack, Lamoriello's critics have zeroed in on the Nets' failure to draw. The Nets, they point out, sold out only eight of their 41 regular-season home games. The average attendance at Continental Arena was 15,185, ranking the Nets 23rd among the 29 teams in the NBA Only two of the Nets' six playoff games this spring have sold out.
The Nets don't draw like a championship-caliber team because they haven't won a championship, and have been successful at a high level for only two seasons. It takes time to build a following and gain the public's trust.
Beyond that, who wants to go to the Swamp to watch a basketball game? The area needs to be revitalized -- no, transformed -- into an oasis with stores, restaurants and attractions that make going to a Nets game a multifaceted event.
With Newark all but out of the picture, this is the most plausible Plan B to make the Nets a draw. Either way, Lamoriello has done his part to make the Nets a championship contender. He joined the Nets as CEO in June 2001, and his first order of business was making sure the Stephon Marbury-for-Jason Kidd deal was done. The Kidd trade was pending; Rod Thorn, the Nets' general manager, wanted to make the deal, but at least one of the Nets' owners was attached to Marbury and was reluctant to pull the trigger for fear of committing another Julius Erving blunder. Erving, the most popular Net ever, was traded to Philadelphia in 1976, sending the Nets into a funk that the franchise never seemed able to shake.
Lamoriello stepped in and told the Nets' board to either let Thorn make the trade or fire him; either support his decision and do the trade, or don't make the trade and get rid of Thorn. That was how Lamoriello's regime began: Thorn made the deal, and Lamoriello made the decision to get the deal done.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Jackson is still playing to sellout crowds.
Advance screenings to the music documentary "Michael Jackson: This Is It" sold out within two hours early Sunday as fans who began lining up three days earlier snapped up all 3,000 tickets to the Los Angeles shows.
The documentary opens nationwide Oct. 28, but fans will get a sneak peek the night before in screenings at the new Regal Cinemas Stadium 14. For the theater's grand opening, the cinema will show "This Is It" on all 14 screens that night.
Directed by longtime Jackson collaborator Kenny Ortega, "This Is It" draws on hundreds of hours of footage as Jackson prepared for a series of London concerts for which he was rehearsing before his death on June 25.

Was macht man an einem Sonntag bei strahlendem Sonnenschein, wenn ein Teil der Familie bei der Arbeit sitzt? Man geht ins Pub und sieht sich das WM Spiel Deutschland gegen England an *gg*
What are you doing on a sunny Sunday when one member of the family has to go to work? You go into a pub and watch the WM game Germany vs England *gg*
We have a soccer fan in our family but yesterday he didn't like to watch the game (it's to loud; there are to many people; I can't see anything;...) and so he descided to lay down on the sofa. Sometimes he wanted to follow the game and he came up to us. We were sitting on the back of the sofas that we can look over all the heads. Therefor we took our shoes off and let them fall under the table. We are so happy that we have one in our family who likes tidiness and so she started to order the shoes! Thanks mimimouse :)
Dann wollte ich euch noch ein Schullied zeigen, welches Sohnemann in der Schule gelernt hat.

Through five games they are perfect, as in 5-0.
One year removed from going 17-7 overall and winning a Class B district title the Alma Panthers boys basketball team has returned to the floor and turned some heads early on in the 2017-18 season.
Despite graduating 1,000-point scorer Konner Vedrode (16.5 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 2.3 apg), rebounding machine Ryan Cornejo (10.2 ppg, 10 rpg, 4.4 apg) and a pair of excellent athletes in CJ Thompson (10.1 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 1.4 bpg) and Anthony Humm the Panthers have maintained a high standard so far this season and might be a better team.
The key term there is 'might', but so far so good for JT Cleveland and company.
"We lost four players who gave us a couple really good seasons and who could do a lot of things," said Cleveland, whose Panthers have won three-straight district titles. "Luckily, we have guys who want to fill those roles and who have worked their tails off dating back to last year. When we're in the gym practicing it's competitive and enjoyable to see. This team is different from last year's team, but it's also a very good team."
So what's the difference?
"We're not as big but we're quicker," Cleveland added. "With that we have more guys who can drive and move the ball (on offense). We're pressing more defensively too. We can't just throw the ball into the post anymore or wait for Konner to hit a three, we have to get up and down the floor to be successful.
Leading the charge is senior point guard Damon Anguiano. His quickness at the guard position is such that he creates numerous problems for opponents. His ability to get to the hoop and to drain the 3 is worth duly noting as is his defensive prowess.
One year ago he averaged 11 points, five assists and over two steals per game.
"There's not much can't do with the basketball, he can make shots or pass it and is also a tremendous defender for us. He's the spark plug that gets the whole team going," said Cleveland of Anguiano.
Outside of Anguiano the Panthers have nine or 10 players who can get up and down the floor well, which should deem well for Alma's style of play.
"What we're trying to do is get better every day so we can be at our best in March," Cleveland added. "Right now it's nice to get these early wins but we're nowhere near where we want or need to be. We understand this is a marathon and you can't be satisfied with where we're at. This team is pretty level headed and we have had some players step up and take over leadership roles."
In each of its first five games Alma has led by or won by 20-points, including an easy victory over defending conference champion Freeland.
"I just coach for 32 minutes," joked Cleveland when asked about how his team is blowing out opponent after opponent. "I think we got Freeland on an off night for them. Chesaning is very good and Standish has a lot of talent in the post. Swan Valley is good every year so the conference is tough like it always is.
"For us the key is just working on getting better and if we do that we'll hopefully be there at the end."

5 Things not to say to a person with bipolar disorder
May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, which is a good and embracing concept. I just wish it were called National Mental Illness Awareness Month, because I find there's such confusion, misinformation and lack of understanding out there. By putting the focus on illness first, opening up lines of communication, letting others see that the mentally ill don't have three heads and understanding there's a wide and diverse spectrum to each diagnosis, perhaps those of us who are saddled with a mental illness have a better chance of feeling healthy.
As someone who has suffered from manic depression (my preferred name for my illness, as it's a crisp and alive definition of what I experience) since I was a preteen, I'd like to share some of the comments, all said with care and love, that are just plain wrong to say to someone with bipolar disorder.
1. "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps."
If I had a dime for every time I've heard this, I could have personally financed NIMH research into brain imaging of manic depressives. If it were as simple as that, there'd be nary a bipolar person on earth. Manic depression is a disease. No one would dream of going up to a diabetic, multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's patient and saying this.
2. "Have you tried prayer?"
With all due respect to religious readers, you can't pray the crazy away. (The same way you can't pray the gay away, but that's another topic for another post.) Momma and Poppa Leite are devout evangelical Christians and are part of a large and active prayer community. I don't know what prayer can do, but I'm certain it can't fix my illness, and (pun intended) Lord knows my parents have tried.
3. "Try vitamins."
Or supplements, tonics, colon cleanses, sage smudging, reflexology, massage, etc. I've tried them all. In most cases the results were at best benign, but in some cases the outcomes were so toxic that I had to get medical help. It's not that these tactics can't soothe a crumpled psyche, but they're not cures. And they should be administered by a qualified, certified professional. Salespeople at GNC don't count.
4. "Oh, you poor thing. It must be awful to go through that."
Ugh. We're not to be pitied. Most of us have found ways of coping, strategies that help us through the darkest depth and the soaring, white-hot highs of our daily lives. And if we haven't, we will. But pitying us and reminding us of just how hard it can be only does one thing: makes us detest our illness, and in some cases ourselves, even more than we do.
5. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
Considering the galloping rate of suicide in the mentally ill, especially people who suffer from manic depression, who when rising out of the darkness suddenly have the energy to take their lives, few things are as insensitive as this. I've thought of suicide innumerable times and even came close to putting a plan in to action. And when I was in the bleak basement of my soul, there was no way I could imagine things getting better or how in the hell this could make me stronger. What I did feel, with all my heart, was that it would eventually kill me.
Of course, this begs the question: What do you say to someone with manic depression? That varies from person to person, but I believe the most important thing you can say is nothing. Just listen. We, along with every crazy, madcap, tangential, horrifying, maddening and illogical bit of our being, need to feel heard and understood. And we need to be heard without judgement. I don't know one person who suffers from manic depression, or any mental illness, who hasn't already done a hatchet job on him or herself. If you must say something, I think the most moving and deeply affecting thing to utter is, "What do you need from me?" And whether that's met with a torrent of words or a simple shrug of the shoulders, trust me, we will feel heard. We will feel seen. We will feel not alone. And, in my experience, that is the first step to feeling well.

Set in the south of Spain, Andalusia is one of the most diverse regions in the entire Iberian Peninsula. It is the only European region to have both Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines, it boasts some of the best food in the country and is home to the most southerly skiing in all of Europe. Travellers have been flocking to this region of Spain for decades, and although they mostly come for the beaches there is so much more on offer throughout the province.
Spending two months housesitting in Algodonales, a small, typical Andalusian village in the foothills of the Sierra de Líjar Mountains, we had time to explore the area slowly. And what a beautiful part of the world it is. Getting off the beaten track in Spain is always rewarding and away from the overrun coastal resorts of the Costa Del Sol, Andalusia is rich in history, culture and plays host to some jaw-dropping scenery. If you want contrast, diversity and some truly memorable Andalusian experiences, try some of these on your next trip to southern Spanish province.
1. Eat Tapas in Seville
Seville is a foodie's heaven; make no mistake about it. There's an abundance of amazing restaurants serving up 'gourmet tapas' in old historic buildings, adding an additional level of sophistication to the €2-€6 servings of deliciousness. Try some different restaurants, sample a few different dishes and wash it all down with some full-bodied, local Spanish wine. Or just go to our favourite and order the tuna tataki tapa, the mushroom risotto and the grilled squid, or anything from the menu to be honest. Be prepared to queue though, as they are always full; it's well worth the wait!
2. Be blown away by Plaza D'Espagna
From the outside of this landmark building, you would never guess what lies within. Walking up the stone steps, through the unassuming corridor, suddenly you are standing in the middle of a huge open space, surrounded by tiled fountains, benches, ponds and a moat complete with beautiful, ornate bridges. The semi-circle of buildings surrounding the central area are designed with a mixture of Spanish, Moorish and Art Deco styles, unique to this historic place. Stretching out for a half a mile, you might want to take some time to soak up this impressive sight.
3. See the world's largest Gothic Cathedral
With 11,520 square feet of interior space, Seville Cathedral is the largest gothic cathedral on the planet. Just to put that in perspective, think five basketball courts long by three and a half wide – now that's a big cathedral! Inside, the massive pillars give you some idea of the scale of the place and the ornate, intricate carvings that decorate the walls are amazing. For a birds-eye view of Seville be sure to climb the ramp to the top of the Giralda, the cathedral's famous bell tower, which used to be a minaret. The ramp consists of thirty-five segments and is both wide and tall enough to ride a horse to the top but we recommend walking!
4. Watch Flamenco dancers in a cave
Granada is the place to watch Flamenco dancers do their thing and trust us; it is an absolutely mind-blowing experience. In fact, if you're going to do just one thing in Andalusia, this should be it. Set inside a cave, it's a very intimate experience, with the performers dancing in the center of the crowd, so much so that as they flick their hair back, beads of sweat land on the audience members. The entire performance is improvised every evening depending on the performers moods, so every show is completely unique. Watching the performers dance, sing and play is spellbinding; their passion, intensity and love of their art really shines through. We left feeling emotionally drained when the spectacle ended but loved every single minute of it.
5. Explore the immense Alhambra Complex
The Alhambra is one of Granada's most iconic landmarks and it's one of the most visited attractions in all of Spain. Perched on a hilltop overlooking the city, the old Moorish palace fortress dominates the Granada skyline. Take your time exploring as there's a lot to take in, you could spend the whole day or even a few days meandering through the immaculate gardens and courtyards of orange trees. And that's not taking into account the palaces themselves featuring mosaic tiled walls, tranquil tree-lines pools and intricate stone carvings. From the top of Arms Tower there are great views over the city or alternatively head to Mirador San Nicolas for stunning views of the Alhambra itself at sunset.
6. Get lost in overlooked Málaga
Home to the third largest airport in Spain, after the capital Madrid and Barcelona, Málaga serves as the gateway to the Costa Del Sol and unfortunately, not enough people stop to admire this vibrant city. Don't make the same mistake! Set along the waterfront, the city is alive and kicking with great restaurants, bars and a lovely old town area. Málaga Cathedral is without a doubt the highlight but don't forget to explore the narrow streets that punctuate the old town. Sit out, have a coffee or a glass of wine and watch the world go by. Stroll along the waterfront or visit the Alcazaba. Whatever you do, allow time to enjoy this cool city.
7. Wander through Córdoba's historical centre
Crossing the Roman Bridge of Córdoba, you are welcomed to the historic centre by the giant Torre de la Calahorra Tower. Passing through the massive archway, the Mezquita comes closer and the sheer size of the walls and the doorways really is something to behold. Once the second-largest mosque in the Islamic world, the Mezquita now operates as a catholic cathedral. However, the Moorish influences remain prolific; the walled courtyard, the carefully crafted arches and pillars and of course the 93metre tall minaret which now serves as a bell tower. Wandering through the rest of the old town, there is plenty to see including the old Jewish Quarter and the cute Calleja De Las Flores street being two of our favourite spots.
8. Look down 100 metres from Ronda Bridge
Nestled in the mountains 750 metres above sea level, Ronda is set in a spectacular location. The views of the surrounding countryside are simply breathtaking and the old cobbled streets, lined with whitewash walls are a great place to get lost. Dividing the town in two is the Guadalevin River running through the very bottom of a 100 metre deep gorge that cuts like a knife through this quiet Andalsuian town. Connecting the two sides of town is the mighty Puento Nuevo (New Bridge). However, don't let the name fool you, construction started on the bridge back in 1751 and it took them forty-two years to finish the job. When you see the bridge, you'll understand why; it's enormous!
9. Check out the iconic white hill towns
Tucked away in the hot Spanish hillside are the authentic and incredibly charming white hill towns of Andalusia. Completely disconnected from the tacky beach scene of the Costa Del Sol, these quaint little towns offer a great insight into how Spanish life really is. Wrought iron lamps light the narrow streets at night with small balconies punctuating the otherwise white walls. The pace of life is slow, the locals are friendly and siesta is taken very seriously. Housesitting in Algodonales for two months, we were lucky enough to experience life in one of these little villages first-hand and we loved it. Visiting other white hill towns such as Zahara de la Sierra, Acros de la Frontera and Olvera, each of the villages has something unique to offer. And the drives between them take you through acres upon acres of vineyards, orange groves and olive plantations. Have your camera at the ready, as there are postcard-perfect views at every corner.
10. Enjoy the spectacular mountain scenery
Far away from the Pyrenees in the north, Andalusia enjoys the most varied terrain in Spain. Barren deserts and fertile plains populate the lower ground while pine forests and alpine mountains occupy the higher elevated areas. A series of mountain ranges divide the region and offer jaw-dropping scenery to anyone passing through with crystal clear blue skies creating the perfect backdrop. There are loads of trails crisscrossing through the hillsides, with plenty of options for walkers. You can kite surf in the lakes, kayak in the rivers, paraglide from the mountaintops and even ski in the winter. Alternatively, you can just sit back and take in the unbelievable views of the surrounding countryside.
Andalusia is much, much more than just a beach destination. Vibrant cities, historic sights, picturesque villages, stunning landscapes and great food make this one of our favourite parts of Spain. Whether you're on holiday in Spain or you're backpacking around the country, take in some of this diverse province and see another side to the south of Spain.

Old newspaper reveals history of Hull family
EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is another article on Findlay area history adapted from a series written from 1959 to 1974 by the late R.L. Heminger, publisher and editor of The Courier.
The transformation of the property at 420 W. Sandusky St. into a museum in the last year or so has focused attention and interest on the builder of the residential structure which now houses so much of historical value in the local community. Jasper G. Hull, a Findlay banker and owner of the concern which furnished Findlay with artificial gas prior to the discovery of natural gas, was the builder of the large home.
Mr. Hull was born in Delaware County in 1846, and came to Findlay in 1879 from Morrow County, where his father had moved. His general life story so far as his Findlay residence is well known, but a missing link developed when, at the time of the museum property purchase a few years ago, it was sought to put together a full account of his life, and inquiry failed to reveal where he was buried, or just when he may have left Findlay to reside elsewhere. Maple Grove Cemetery records showed he was not buried there.
An item was inserted in the "Grass Roots" column of the Republican-Courier, this column appearing every once in a while to seek information that is not readily obtainable through sources at hand. But there was no response to the question raised as to the whereabouts of the Hulls after they left Findlay. It was only generally known that they had left not long after the turn of the century.
Light eventually came via a perusal of the files of the newspaper in the early 1900s. It was discovered that Mr. Hull resigned his position as cashier of the Farmer's Bank in Findlay (later to become the Buckeye Bank) in the summer of 1902 and moved to Marion County to reside. He made known he was going to return to his former vocation of farming. In Marion County, he owned a large acreage of land exceeding a full section.
He announced that his large West Sandusky Street dwelling, which he had built early in the 1880s, was for sale. Henry Flater bought it in 1903.
There were still missing links in the Hull story, however, including when he died and where he was buried.
The suggestion was made that contact be made with the Marion city cemetery in the likelihood that it may have been the place of interment. Inquiry there brought a prompt response. Mr. and Mrs. Hull were, indeed, buried in the Marion Cemetery.
He died in January 1913, while living on a small poultry farm near Cleveland. His wife had died previously. He was 66 years old when he passed away.
He was survived by five daughters, a sixth daughter having died. The five living were Mrs. Frank Winders and Mrs. Max Morehouse of Columbus, Mrs. Reed Metzler of Cleveland, Mrs. Earl Eby of Wilkinsburg, Pa. and an unmarried daughter, Bernadine of Columbus. The deceased daughter was Mrs. C.A. Bond.
At the funeral of Mr. Hull in Marion, the officiating clergyman was Dr. Henry C. Jameson, formerly of Findlay, a longtime friend of Mr. Hull.
There was an unusually interesting story of the Hull death. While one of the daughters, Mrs. Winders, was in Marion attending her father's funeral, Mrs. Winders' husband, a physician, was in Findlay attending the funeral of his father, David Winders, who had died of injuries received in an accident in Columbus when his electric coupe collided with a street car. David Winders, known more familiarly as "Thornt" for his middle name of "Thornton," was mayor of Findlay in the 1890s. The son, Dr. Winders, became the first executive secretary of the Ohio State Medical Board.
Of the other Hull daughters, Mrs. Morehouse was the wife of one of the owners of the large Morehouse-Martin's women's apparel store in Columbus; Mrs. Bond's husband became mayor of the city of Columbus and the founder of the well-known Bond clothing houses; and Mrs. Metzler was the wife of an attorney who first practiced in Findlay and once was city solicitor.
Mr. Hull's wife, who was Miss Mary Monnett, was a descendant of the family which gave Ohio Wesleyan University its first women's residence structure, known familiarly as "Monnett Hall" on the OWU campus.
Mr. Hull has a very definite connection with Findlay's gas history. He was one of the owners of the famous Karg well which "came in" during January 1886 on the banks of the Blanchard River at the foot of Liberty Street, its great flow attracting world attention and launching Findlay's great boom.
Soon after coming to Findlay, Mr. Hull became the sole owner of the Findlay Gas-Light company, which supplied the city with artificial gas. When the Oesterlen discovery well was drilled in December 1884, he himself drilled a second natural gas well and turned natural gas into the lines of his plant, which was furnishing an artificial brand of gas to the city.

WILMINGTON, Del. - January 10, 2014 --Delaware State Police are seeking the public's help identifying two women wanted for stealing a wallet from a patron at a Wilmington restaurant.
Troopers say the two women removed a wallet from the purse of a 47-year-old woman at the Panera Bread on Concord Pike on January 8th.
The woman discovered her wallet missing after having lunch with a friend just after 11:00 a.m. Her credit cards were later used to purchase over $2,000 in merchandise at several stores in the Christiana Mall.
Police released surveillance photos of two women who had been sitting behind the victim at Panera Bread. The same two women were seen on surveillance making purchases at the mall.
Anyone with information that could help identify the suspects is asked to contact Delaware State Police Troop 1 at 302-660-4265, or Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333.

The Retail Association of Nevada (RAN) is an alliance of of Nevada's most successful and innovative retailers. The retail community contributes more than 1 billion dollars in tax revenue annually and accounts for more than 400,000 jobs with an estimated economic impact of 20 billion dollars to Nevada's economy. As the only statewide business advocacy group in Nevada, RAN gives business a voice in the State Legislature so that government leaders and the retail industry can work for a more promising Nevada
The business climate may change frequently due to regulations, legislation, public sentiment, education, marketing and customer variables. RAN can help your business meet the current demands and anticipate the future with confidence. Since its inception in 1969, RAN has been a leader, a watchdog, a public relations and lobbying tool and a source of information for the business community in Nevada.
RAN was formed for the purpose of uniting merchants throughout the state on matters of common interest. The Association is the leading advocate for Nevada retailers and has a reputation as one of the most effective pro-business organizations in the state. Membership has the added benefit of providing eligible businesses with their workers' compensation insurance as the sponsoring association of the Nevada Retail Network Self-Insured Group administered by ProGroup Management, a full service workers compensation company.
Nevada's Legislature meets biannually in odd numbered years for 120 days starting on the first Monday in February. During the session, RAN's in-house lobby team works in conjunction with outside counsel to track all bills that affect the retail industry such as business taxes, employer/employee issues, wage issues, health insurance, technology issues, pharmacy related legislation, energy, organized retail theft and much more. However, RAN's work doesn't end when a legislative session adjourns.

We've been asked what the differences are among the various language sections of the new BookFinder.com site (currently in beta at beta.bookfinder.com).
The overall concept is pretty simple. Each language site (e.g. BookFinder.com French) searches for books in a different language. Language, not country. For example, BookFinder.com French pulls up French books from places like Belgium or Canada. It doesn't matter where you're located. Looking for a book in French? Use BookFinder.com French. Simple, non?
So how do the various language sites vary from each other? Many of the differences are behind the scenes. Here's the rundown.
- each site searches a different set of bookstores and listings services, optimized for that language.
- searches are more accurate, based on language-specific filters
- books are bunched and sorted appropriately for each language
- inline book jargon is interpreted correctly for each language
- different colors, whee!
Why don't we search all bookstores and listings services at the same time? We have to consider technical and usability issues.
On the technical side, we have to deal with resource concerns. A bookseller who sells books only in Swahili doesn't want to have BookFinder.com search her inventory database every time someone's looking for a book in Chinese. Booksellers from around the world are more likely to work with BookFinder.com if they know that we're not unnecessarily burdening their technology resources with searches for books they couldn't possibly carry.
On the usability side, we have to deal with the fact that many authors are frequently translated (e.g. Stephen King, Karl Marx) -- there may be copies for sale in every language. If we keep adding booksellers from around the world to our search, then dozens of editions in other languages would keep popping up every time someone ran a search for a well-translated author. That makes the site hard to use, and gets very annoying very quickly. Better to have multiple language sites; good fences make good neighbors.
Finally, we come to the issue of English language searching. The "normal" BookFinder.com site has always been optimized for English, but we never advertised it. We've now made the default search the official English language search. We could have renamed it "BookFinder.com English" and made the URL http://beta.bookfinder.com/english/ (instead of plain old http://beta.bookfinder.com/), but we decided to keep it on our home page to maintain consistency and optimize for the fact that most of our users are looking for English language books.
We plan to add more languages to the site (Spanish and Portuguese are on our list), and add more booksellers to the languages we already do support.
Hope this clears stuff up somewhat.Posted by Anirvan

Key Questions
1. What is the difference between the General Securities Sales Supervisor Exam (Series 9/10) and the General Securities Principal Exam (Series 24)?
The General Securities Sales Supervisor Examination (Series 9/10) is a limited principal examination. It qualifies an individual to supervise sales activities of a broker/dealer. The Series 9/10 qualifies the branch manager to supervise sales activities in corporate securities (equity and debt), investment company products and variable contracts, municipal securities, options, government securities and direct participation programs. The General Securities Sales Supervisor Exam does not allow the sales supervisor/branch manager to supervise other areas of a member's securities business, such as underwriting, trading, or overall firm compliance with financial responsibilities.
The Series 24, on the other hand, qualifies a candidate as a general securities principal for FINRA. By passing the Series 24, the candidate can supervise all areas of the member's investment banking and securities business, such as underwriting, trading and market making, advertising, or overall compliance with financial responsibilities. While the scope of the general securities principal's supervisory authority is broader than the Series 9/10, the Series 24 is limited in the products that it covers. The general securities principal qualification does not cover municipal securities or options.
[NASD Membership and Registration Rules 1022(g) and 1022(a)-Limited Principal General Securities Sales Supervisor and General Securities Principal]
2. Since the Series 9/10, General Securities Sales Supervisor Exam, covers options and municipal securities, upon passing the Series 9/10, can I function as a registered options or municipal securities principal?
No. With the Series 9/10, the branch manager is qualified to supervise sales activities only. The oversight responsibility of the registered options or municipal securities principal exams is broader. In addition to sales supervision, the Registered Options Principal Exam (Series 4) and the Municipal Securities Principal Exam (Series 53) qualify a principal to supervise the member's overall securities business-including but not limited to trading, advertising, and compliance.
3. Must a candidate take both the Series 9 and Series 10 on the same day?
It is up to the candidate. Therefore, the candidate may choose to take both exams on the same day or each part at different sessions. The candidate may also choose which exam to take first. Regardless of when each exam is completed, the General Securities Sales Supervisor registration will not be approved until the candidate passes both exams. Note however that if both exams are not passed within two years of each other, the one taken and passed will be invalidated.
Using Reference Materials
The test administrator will provide whiteboard/dry erase marker and basic electronic calculators to the candidates, which must be returned to the test center administrator at the end of the testing session. Some test questions involve calculations. Only the provided calculators may be used during the examination.
The examination may contain questions that require the use of exhibits (e.g., charts, graphs, tables). If so, the questions will indicate when to refer to an exhibit.
Candidates are not permitted to bring any reference materials to testing sessions. Severe penalties are imposed on candidates who cheat or attempt to cheat on FINRA administered examinations.
To learn more about logistics and protocols for your exam day, please see On The Day of Your Exam.

Today we are going to switch things up a bit and talk about being a food blogger, and more specifically starting a food blog. It's probably the question I get most often from folks and it's a question that gets me really excited because I truly LOVE food blogging. Although its hard work, really hard work sometimes, and sometimes means your food will be slightly cold after you take the 100th photo of it - it's really incredible and brings me lots of joy. I love sharing things from my kitchen and adore hearing from all of you.
So here goes! You love to cook, you love to read recipes, and likely in the back of your mind you have thought about food blogging before? Well - why not get started this weekend? It's takes under 15 minutes to be up and running.
In my opinion, this part is the most fun. Start by brainstorming your passions when it comes to food. Do you love healthy cooking? Creating family friendly meals? Eating out and sharing your experience? Cooking on a budget? Foodie traveling? Find something that will get you excited. Blogging is really fun, but it is also hard work – so you want to choose something you love to write about and share.
Now it's time to come up with a name for your food blog. Get creative and find a name that suits you and your passion. Then head over to Blue Host (or another hosting/domain company, I personally love Blue Host and think it's the most affordable) and click Sign Up Now. Then type the name you want into the box to find out if that domain (a fancy name for the address of your website) is available.
Once you find a name you love, you will need to purchase hosting.* Hosting is basically like renting space to house your website. There are all different types of hosting, but to start you just need a simple hosting plan. You can always upgrade later. One great thing about hosting with Blue Host is that they give you a free domain with hosting, and it starts for as little as $6.95/month for one year or 4.95/month for three years.
*You can also use free hosting through wordpress.com but your website will have wordpress.com in the domain name. For instance if I hosted Slender Kitchen on wordpress instead of my own hosting, it would read www.slenderkitchen.wordpress.com.
Now that you have your domain and hosting, it is time to install Wordpress. Wordpress is a blogging platform that makes it incredibly simple to post and share your content. (There are also other blogging platforms but Wordpress is by far the easiest to use and the most versatile.) And luckily Blue Host makes it very easy to install Wordpress in just one click.
Make sure you are logged into your account and scroll down to the Sitebuilder section. Find the Wordpress icon and click on it.
On the next page, simply click Install and Bluehost will begin to build your brand new blog! You will want to choose the latest version of Wordpress.
Congrats! Your blog is now installed. Write down the password and URL for your blog and get ready to begin. Go there and sign into your very own Wordpress blog!
Woohoo! You now have your very own food blog. I already can't wait to see your first recipe, foodie experience, or tip. Send me an email with your blog so I can check it out! Now it's time to spice up your blog and add your own personal design touches. You have two options for themes with Wordpress. You can choose a free theme from Wordpress – there are thousands or you can buy a premium theme from a company like Theme Forest or Woothemes. Personally, I started with a free theme and then upgraded later on once I had more traffic. It's completely up to you!
Now it's time to start blogging! Write your first post and begin to share it with friends, family, and me! I would LOVE to check out your blogs.

SUNRISE -- Terrorists launch an attack on three countries during a United Nations peace conference.
An impeached political leader becomes a spy for the enemy.
A missile fired at an enemy nation is intercepted by the neighbor`s ``Star Wars`` defense system.
Headlines from a news broadcast in the year 2000? No, it`s Bair Middle School in Sunrise in the year 1986.
As part of the school`s social studies curriculum this year, eighth-graders received a lesson in life as leaders of four ``simulated societies,`` where they did everything from enacting laws to planning military strategy.
The creator of this imaginary world was Nova University law student Michael Rocque, who taught the class as part of Nova`s street-law program, where Nova students expose young people to the law.
Rocque had planned to teach a typical law course but decided students needed a more hands-on approach to the subject.
``I was teaching regular law, but I thought it was dry,`` said Rocque, 25.
Thus came the arrival of Pumas, an imaginary planet made up of four neighboring nations, named New Earth, Gork, Entariam and Dizzyland by students.
Students were divided into four groups, and officers were elected for each nation. The next step was for each group to write its own set of laws.
Unfortunately, all democratic ideals appeared to fly out the classroom window after that point, Rocque said.
``I didn`t tell them to do anything, and I didn`t instigate anything. The only rule was that anything they did had to be documented in a record book,`` he said.
It`s a record book that would make a thrilling spy novel, documenting everything from political assassinations and kidnappings to the overthrow of a government.

Days after his wife's death, former President George H.W. Walker is hospitalized with several serious complications, according to multiple news reports.
George H.W. Bush is awake, alert and talking after he was admitted to intensive care earlier this week, a family spokesman said Tuesday, April 24.
Bush, 93, was admitted to the Houston Methodist Hospital Sunday morning after contracting an infection that spread to his blood, family spokesman Jim McGrath said, a day after a funeral was held for his wife, Barbara Bush.
According to McGrath, the 41st President has said he is determined to get healthy and get to Maine this summer. On Monday, McGrath said former President Bush was "responding to treatments and appears to be recovering."
According to a source close to the former Republican President, Bush was admitted to the hospital with an infection that led to sepsis, which can be life-threatening. He was in critical condition, the source said.
Bush revealed several years ago he suffers from a form of Parkinson's disease, which has left him unable to walk, so he gets around either in a wheelchair or a scooter.
The former President's hospitalization is especially upsetting for his family because it follows so closely on the death of his wife of 73 years last Tuesday, as reported here by Daily Voice.
"Right after a big loss -- certainly like he has had -- there is some data that shows that some people can develop problems with immunity and become more susceptible to infections," CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta said in this news report. "Infections they otherwise would have been able to fight become more serious."
The day after his wife's death, the former President paid tribute to her in a statement:
"I always knew Barbara was the most beloved woman in the world, and in fact I used to tease her that I had a complex relationship about that fact. But the truth is the outpouring of love and friendship being directed at The Enforcer is lifting us all up," Bush said, using her nickname.
"We have faith she is in heaven, and we know that life will go on -- as she would have it. So cross the Bushes off your worry list."
George H.W. Bush was born in Milton, Mass., but moved as a young child with his family to Greenwich.
The 41st president, was raised in the Bush family home on Grove Lane in the Dearfield Park area off West Putnam Avenue and close to the Greenwich Library.
Bush's father, Prescott, was a U.S. senator from Connecticut from 1952 to 1963.
George H. W. Bush went to Greenwich Country Day School before attending boarding school at Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass. At the age of 18, he volunteered to serve his country after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and he became one of the youngest aviators in the U.S. Navy.
He served with distinction and was rescued by a submarine when his torpedo bomber was shot down after attacking a Japanese-held island.
While in the Navy, Bush married Barbara Pierce on Jan. 6, 1945, in Rye. They met in 1941 during the Christmas holidays at a country club dance in Greenwich.
After the war, Bush attended Yale University in New Haven, where his son, George W. Bush was born on campus in 1946. He remains the only president born in the Nutmeg State.
George H.W. Bush later moved his young family to Texas and made his fortune in the oil business before entering into Republican politics.
He became vice president in 1980 under Ronald Reagan, and followed Reagan as president in 1988. He lost a bid for re-election in 1992 to Bill Clinton, who settled in nearby Chappaqua after his two terms in office.

Search engine optimization (WEBSITE POSITIONING), along with electronic mail advertising , belongs to the oldest digital advertising strategies. An SEO method is taken into account white hat if it conforms to the search engines' tips and involves no deception. These modifications pressured website house owners who wish to keep well-ranked on Google to update their websites to be responsive and add SSL certificates (that is most essential for websites that accept cash).
Some SEOs will promise to rank you highly in engines like google, but place you in the promoting part slightly than within the search results. For instance, in 2015 Google decided it would give preferential ranking to websites that have been mobile-pleasant since so many people at the moment are using mobile devices.
In addition to making content material obtainable to search engines like google, SEO also helps increase rankings so that content can be placed where searchers will more readily find it. The Web is turning into increasingly competitive, and those corporations who carry out WEB OPTIMIZATION could have a determined benefit in visitors and clients.
Beware of SEOs that declare to guarantee rankings, allege a "special relationship" with Google, or advertise a "priority submit" to Google. If two internet sites are promoting the same thing, the search engine optimized website is more likely to have extra prospects and make more sales.
In the same approach that a link from CNN is an indication that your web site could be vital, if you are linking to a selected web page aggressively from various areas in your website, that is a sign to search engines like google that that particular page is very important to your website.… Read More

A SEPARATION / JODAEIYE NADER AZ SIMIN (Dir. Asghar Farhadi, 2011, Iran)
Asghar Farhadi's Iranian melodrama is currently appearing in many critics' top ten lists. The set up is domestic and middle class; an Iranian couple are separating and their eleven-year-old daughter is caught in the middle. Simin (Leila Hatami) wants to go abroad with her daughter while Nader (Peyman Moaadi) is trying to come to terms with his father's Alzheimer. When Nader employs a pregnant woman to look after his father, a moment of neglect results in a tragic situation for both parties. Although the subject of marriage provides the central narrative conflict, Farhadi takes his story into the realm of class politics and lifts the lid on the void between lower and middle class Iranians. I can see why the film appeals to so many western film critics because it deals with universal middle class anxieties including parental guilt, social apathy and perhaps most strikingly, marital discord. A Separation is an impressive work.
