Man murdered in Ty Ty Saturday night
Sun, 28 Oct 2012 20:57:45 GMT —
A man was murdered in Ty Ty Saturday night around 10:15 PM with the suspect still at-large.
Tift County Coroner Steve Wood is reporting that 35-year-old Arlester Jackson Jr. was found in a vacant lot on Cherry Street in Ty Ty, and pronounced dead at the scene.
The Tift County Sheriff's Office is handling the investigation, and the suspect who killed Jackson is still at-large. Wood could not report the cause of death at this time, but did say Jackson will be taken to the Macon GBI lab on Tuesday for an autopsy.
However members of the family say they heard the gunshots that they believe led to Jackson Jr.'s death.
"I heard the shots and i heard a guy scream, damn Collie, you didn't have to shoot him like that, that's hammerhead, you didn't have to shoot him," said eye-witness, Terry James.

Multimedia Art
Multimedia Art
Multimedia artists are contemporary artists who use a wide range of media to communicate their art. Multimedia art includes, by definition, more than one medium, therefore multimedia artists use visual art in combination with sound art, moving images and other media. The art can take the form of installation art, found objects presented in an artistic form, or kinetic sculpture, among others.
It is important to distinguish between multimedia art and mixed media artworks. Within the visual arts, mixed media tends to refer to work that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media such as certain works of Frank Stella or Jane Frank which merge painting and sculpture, for example. A work on canvas that combines oil paint, newspaper collage, chalk, glass and ink, for example, could be called a "mixed media" work - but not multimedia. Multimedia art implies a broader scope than mixed media, as in creations combining visual art media with elements usually considered the proper domain of literature, drama, dance, filmmaking, or music.
Multimedia artwork also frequently engages senses other than sight, such as hearing, touch, or smell. A multimedia artwork can also move, occupy time, or develop over time, rather than remaining static as with traditional media. Another frequent trait of multimedia artworks is the use of advanced technology, such as electronic or computer-generated sound, video, animation, and interactivity.
Certain traditional genres such as opera and film are inherently multidisciplinary or even "multimedia" in a very loose sense, since they involve drama, literature, visual art, music, dance, and costumes. Indeed, a union of the arts was exactly what Richard Wagner imagined in his ideal of the "Gesamtkunstwerk" or a "synthesis of the arts" (literally: "complete artwork").
Nevertheless, in contemporary terms, opera or even movies would not properly be considered "multimedia art." A work of multimedia art is usually mounted on a smaller scale than an opera or a movie and is typically created entirely by a single person (rather than the collaborative effort of opera or moviemaking). Multimedia works do not usually require performers. If performers are used, they are usually untrained people, as in audience members who interact with the piece, as opposed to trained singers or actors. Multimedia artwork is often presented in a curated museum or gallery setting, in which the piece is understood to be an extended form of visual art. The creator of a multimedia work of art is typically someone with a formal background in visual art.

Ray Lewis, the spiritual leader of the Baltimore Ravens defense and face of the franchise, announced on Wednesday he will be retiring at the end of this season, which is his 17th in the NFL.
"I talked to my team today," Lewis said. "I talked to them about life in general. And everything that starts has an end. For me, today, I told my team that this will be my last ride."
When the Ravens host the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday in Baltimore, it will most likely be Lewis's last game in the city he helped define the past decade and with which he was so closely associated. Lewis will be returning to play in the AFC wildcard game after sitting out most of the year with a torn triceps.
According to ESPN, Lewis "has gone to 13 Pro Bowls, been named first-team All-Pro seven times and has been voted NFL Defensive Player of the Year twice."
The linebacker, known for intimidating NFL players with his bone-crunching hits, "led the Ravens to the 2000 Super Bowl when he was the key figure on a defense that set the NFL record for fewest points allowed in a 16-game season."
Following that Super Bowl win, though, Lewis was charged with murder when two people were killed outside an Atlanta nightclub. Lewis was in the group of people who fled the murder scene. He was later exonerated of all charges. Lewis also was accused of punching and kicking a pregnant woman at a bar. Those charges would later be dropped due to "conflicting reports by witnesses."
His son, Ray Lewis III, will be a freshman at the University of Miami next year, which is Lewis's alma mater. Lewis was a standout at Miami and helped create a culture in which the football program's alumni came back to mentor and motivate Miami's players.
"It's either hold onto the game and keep playing and let my kids miss out on times we can be spending together," Lewis said. "Because I always promised my son if he got a full ride on scholarship Daddy is going to be there. I can't miss that."
Known as one of the game's all-time great leaders and motivators, Lewis gave an
inspirational postgame speech to pump-up his dejected teammates after the Patriots eliminated the Ravens from the playoffs in the AFC championship game. He also motivated Stanford's men's college basketball team before last season's NIT finals when he appeared before them in the locker room before the game.
Lewis is a future hall of famer and is in the discussion as one of the best middle linebackers in the history of the NFL.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Legendary performer Stevie Wonder this morning expressed his love for Cleveland during a get-out-the-vote rally at Cleveland State University.
His love went largely unrequited.
Fewer than 200 people showed up to watch Wonder perform a handful of his hits at the early voting event in support of President Barack Obama.
"It would be disingenuous to say I am here because of Obama," he said. "How do you pass up a chance to see Stevie Wonder?"

Perhaps because very few people knew about it? Even the title of the article: "Few knew about Stevie Wonder appearance for President Barack Obama at Cleveland State University on Saturday"
Is this some attempt to claim that the president doesn't have supporters?

Call it a massive snub. Call it a cosmic course correction. Whatever your take, it's a plain fact that Two and a Half Men's Jon Cryer, the 2012 Emmy winner for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, isn't even in the hunt this year.
Four of the men Cryer vanquished last time around — 30 Rock's Alec Baldwin, House of Lies' Don Cheadle, The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons and Louie's Louis C.K. — will use the opportunity to try to add a statuette to the mantle following the Sept. 22 ceremony. (Don't feel too anxious for Parsons or Baldwin, though, as the duo respectively triumphed in the Lead Comedy Actor race in 2010-2011 and 2008-2009.)
Rounding out the 2013 category are a pair of fellas who, while they weren't eligible in 2012, are probably experiencing a bit of deja vu anyway: Episodes' Matt LeBlanc (a nominee in 2011, and three prior times for his stint on Friends) and Arrested Development's Jason Bateman (nominated back in 2005 during his series' initial run on Fox).
What would you do if you had the power to honor one of these fine actors when the Emmys are handed out? Take our poll below to vote for your favorite — TVLine voting closes Sept. 15, so act now! — then hit the comments to justify your pick!
Every day for the next month, we'll launch another "Who Should Win?" Emmy poll, so come back to TVLine.com every day to weigh in on who's most worthy of TV's biggest honor. And to stay up to speed on all our Emmy polls, follow me on Twitter @MichaelSlezakTV!

The Gauteng Partnership Fund (GPF) received a clean audit opinion for the year ended 31st March 2015.
This was a remarkable achievement and an accolade for the GPF as it was acknowledged by the Audit General of South Africa that to sustain such a clean audit report involves a lot of hard work and dedication from the GPF team.
Also it would not have been possible to receive such a clean audit report without the guidance, leadership and support of our Executive Authority, the Gauteng Department of Human Settlements and the GPF Board.
"GPF has been attaining clean audits for more than eight consecutive years," says the Chief Executive Officer of GPF, Mr Boni Muvevi.
"The attainment of clean audit is underpinned by our value of executing our housing mandate in a transparent, accountable and ethical manner," Boni emphasized.

Fujifilm FinePix S9400W review
If you're taking the decision to buy a dedicated digital camera rather than just rely on the performance from your iPhone, then conceivably you'll be seeking a camera that puts some distance between it and your handset to really get your money's worth. Enter Fujifilm's 16 megapixel, 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor incorporating FinePix S9400W, which features a maximum f/2.9 aperture from a huge 50x optical zoom lens. This provides a 35mm equivalent focal range of an ultra wide 24-1200mm, and for what initially seems a very reasonable £269.99 manufacturer's asking price.
This model sits just below the slightly better built S1 in Fuji's super zoom range, whilst slotting in above the even cheaper S9200. The latter is identical except for the fact that, unlike the S9400W, there's no built-in Wi-Fi.
See also: Camera reviews
Whilst this rugged, chunky camera neither looks nor feels like there have been compromises to reach its price point, and the distance markings on the lens barrel are a nice touch that the pricier S1 actually omits, it does supply power via a handful of AA batteries rather than the usual rechargeable lithium ion cell. That said, managing around 300 shots before its AA's actually have to be replaced isn't a bad performance by any means.
Of course one of the perils of a bog standard 1/2.3-inch sensor and a sensitivity range that stretches to ISO12800 is the inevitable appearance of image noise the higher we creep toward that maximum setting. Plus there is the fact that with a physically small chip we're simply not getting the detail that we would enjoy from the larger APS-C format found in any DSLR – such as Canon's entry-level 1200D – that the S9400W resembles.
In truth, as far as pictures go, this is basically a snapshot camera on steroids. It allows us to achieve a breadth of shots via its comprehensive focal range that would otherwise be either impractical or extremely expensive if we were to aim for something similar via a DSLR. It's also no surprise that we just get the choice of JPEG rather than uncompressed Raw files, given the entry-level pricing. Aside from stills, there is the ability to capture Full HD 1920x1080 pixels clips at a smooth 60 frames per second, and naturally with the use of the zoom, or alternatively at a whopping 480fps capture speed which when replayed provides a slow motion effect.
With the regular smattering of manual shooting modes mixing with the fully automatic via a twist of a bottle top style dial on the top plate, everything about this camera feels intuitive. It's unusual that we get an electronic eye level viewfinder provided in this price bracket, but as the resolution is a lowly 200,000 dots, we found ourselves mostly sticking with the larger 3-inch, 460K dot LCD screen below for lining up our shots. A further compositional aid would have been provided had said screen been able to be swiveled or tilted, but for the price the lack of such 'extras' is hardly a deal breaker.
In fact, with the likely audience being the family user who wants a decent looking camera capable of shooting just about anything without the photographer needing to step forward or back to re-frame the shot, the S9400W seemingly has it covered.
Overall we found the 16MP S9400W's performance a little hit and miss. Inevitably with any camera with this long a zoom range and this small a sensor, at its extremities we struggled to always get a sharp still image when shooting with the Fuji, particularly when used handheld. Low light shots can also be problematic if not wanting to use the flash to lift the gloom, as image noise settles into an image from ISO800 upwards. Again this is partly down to the small-ish chip at the S9400W's heart. Yes if you want more pro-like results you can pay considerably more and go for Sony's RX10. But that could be considered an almost semi pro option, whereas this Fuji offering is cheap and cheerful, without outwardly showing it. Incidentally if you're not fussed about having Wi-Fi pay £20 less for the S9200 version, or for higher resolution screens, rechargeable battery plus hotshoe for accessory attachment the Fuji S1 at £130 more is also well worth a look. Whilst the S9400W may not excel, it still remains one of the very best options out there in terms of zoom range, build and handling within its lower-priced section of the market, which is why we're still happy to give it an above average score.

How do I go about getting my work copyrighted?
I want to get my work copyrighted but have no idea where to start or how to go about doing so..
3 Answers - Add yours!
This website might be a good start for you. There's a lot of great info regarding copyright, but if you scroll down on the right you'll see *Important Articles* with some links to items they have posted in the past that I think will be helpful
Your work is copyrighted when you create it. However you can send a copy of it (on DVD etc.) to the Library of Congress and copyright it that way.
As Brian says, your work is copyrighted by default. Your concern should be about being able to prove that in the event of a dispute. If you work in analogue, the neg or transparency should be enough. If you're working digitally if anyone's stolen your work it will most likely be from a lower res source, so keep the hires with full metadata. Good reason for shooting DNG and 16 bit.

What to CookPotato
Pork Confit Shepherd's Pie
Sunday Dinners comes to us from our own chef/photojournalist/farmer/father figure Tom Hirschfeld, featuring his stunning photography and Indiana farmhouse family meals.
Today: Tom shares a meat and potatoes casserole worth making from scratch.
It is not generally in my nature to go out of my way to make a shepherd's pie from scratch. Instead of cooking all the individual components -- breaking them down only to put them back together -- it always seems like a job best done by leftovers. I don't mean to pick on shepherd's pie alone -- this goes for most meat and potato casseroles. And while not meat and potatoes, it reminds me of the time I looked at a recipe for turkey tetrazzini and the first step in the instructions was: Roast a turkey.
This isn't to say I've never gone to extended lengths to try something new. When I first started cooking and I was eager to try new dishes, I would and regularly did. But somewhere along the line I lost the energy for this kind of pursuit.
More: Another recipe worth the effort? Honest Fried Chicken.
So you can imagine my surprise when I started making this dish from scratch. But there's a reason. Simply put, it stood out from other meat and potato pie recipes of its kind. Maybe it does so because it is made with confit. Maybe it's the onions. Maybe it's because the recipe calls for pork. Or maybe it's because it all comes together easily and without much fuss.
What I do know is each piece of this pie is important to the whole. It is what makes this Parmentier elegant and complex. It is why it is so important to build from scratch. And when I really think about it, this is why it is a joy -- not a bother -- to cook. But most importantly, it is why it is a real pleasure to eat.
Confit of Pork Parmentier
Serves 6 to 8
2 1/2 pounds whole pork loin
2 yellow onions, julienned (about a cup)
5 garlic cloves, whole with skins removed
6 thyme sprigs
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
Canola oil, peanut oil, or lard
Reserved onions and garlic from confit oil
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 cup half and half
See the full recipe (and save and print it) here.

I have a handicape- cp, more exact ataxia. my question is, can i still have kids with my disablity?
i love matt
my world
fyi: ataxia is a neuromuscular condition in which patients have difficulty controlling their movements. some forms are progressive and degenerative (meaning it only gets worse with time) or chronic. degree of severity can vary.
People with degenerative ataxia have shorter life expectancies. If this is a concern for you, then yes, it can affect your parenting if you were to die really early.
Some forms of ataxia are hereditary. In this case, you would be reffered to a genetic counselor who would help you weigh out the risks of having children and help you discuss your option.
Is your ataxia severe? Are you physically capable of independent living? These are valid things to consider when considering your ability to raise children.
Ataxia probably will not complicate aspects of parenting such as your ability to conceive, but some problems with voluntary movement can complicate delivery (though thanks to Caesarian Section, delivery is possible for people in such a situation).
Color is for crayons, not for people.
People with cp can and do become parents, but cp can cause physical problems during pregnancy and birth, so it's vital to have proper medical support.
If what you're asking is do you need to use birth control to avoid getting pregnant, then yes you do! However, some doctors are unwilling to prescribe birth control pills to women with impaired circulation or mobility (including some women with cp), as they may be at a higher risk of thromboembolism. So you need to discuss this with your doctor so you can find the best method of birth control for you.

Three Scenarios
RE: Three Scenarios
Oh, I just remembered another interesting part of the conversation. This part happened later and touched on a different subject, and would take more time to go into detail that I want to bother with in this post. But the short of it was a conversation of the nature of "free will" in heaven. The details, like I said, are very long, but in the end she actually succumbed to the logic that "God" would have taken our "free will" in heaven (based on the fact that heaven would be "perfect" and no one could go against "God' there or else heaven would not be "perfect"), but that doesn't matter because that is the reason why we have it now, to prove to "God" whether we would use our "free will", while we have it here on earth, to willingly give ourselves to "God" showing that we are willing to give up our "free will" in heaven in order to be perfect.
Again, very long conversation, and how we got to this point was left out in this post, but once we did get to this point I did ask, "Wouldn't that make you a puppet if you have no choice of you what you do, but can only do things "God" finds acceptable?"
Her response was, "I'd be happy to be a puppet for "God" in heaven".

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- NASCAR officials attempted to walk a tightrope yesterday as they unveiled their plan to overhaul the championship points system for the Nextel Cup Series, formerly the Winston Cup Series.
NASCAR president Mike Helton eased his way into the announcement, saying the organization wanted to continue its tradition of having a points system based on consistency.
"We're not changing much," he said. "We're adding five points to a race winner's point total."
And then he dropped the bombshell, saying the first 26 races of the season would be used, more or less, as qualifying events for the last 10 races of the season.

Demi Lovato is One Gorgeous Latina
Demi Lovato has come a long way since her Disney days. With a new healthy outlook on life and sizzling singing career, Lovato is taking on her latest role as a judge on "The X Factor."
Demi Lovato really wants a Barbie doll in her name.
But she wants the doll to have her actual curvy body type and not some rail-thin version of her.
Having become a leading voice in Hollywood on eating disorders and body issues, Lovato is once more using her favorite social media platform to speak out on the topic.
Lovato sent out tweet Monday that said: "1 of my biggest dreams, having collected Barbies since I was a kid, is to have my own Barbie BUT with my actual body type.. Weight & height."
After sharing the message, she asked her fans, known as the "Lovatics," to "Blow up @BarbieStyle to make it happen!!!!"
With Lovato about to celebrate a milestone in two months, the "Hear Attack" singer added that her own Barbie would make for "one dope 21st birthday!!"
But Lovato's ideas for the Barbie did not stop there.
"Barbie should make dolls with cellulite!!!" she added at the end of the exchange.
"After all, around 95% of ALL women have it!!!"
Lovato, who has been candid about her own eating disorder as a teenager, has a strong following on social media.
Just last week, one of her fans tweeted to the X Factor judge saying, "I'm almost 7 months clean bc of you :) it's an honor having you as my support and role model."
When Lovato saw the message she took a moment to reply to the fan, telling her she was "AMAZING!! proud of u."
The fan seemed shocked the star replied to her message.
"Will never forget this night, thx ya'll for all the congrats and thx @ddlovato for proving to me that recovery is worth it," the fan tweeted.

Automation Support and System-wide Scripting
OS X provides a powerful mechanism for automating and controlling system resources and applications using Apple events. AppleScript has been the traditional means of achieving this but now there are other powerful and more intuitive alternatives.
OS X includes a technology called Scripting Bridge which allows Cocoa based applications to automate other services by sending Apple events. All of the Cocoa capable scripting components supported by KosmicTask can utilise this technology to achieve automation. Scripting Bridge therefore means that automation can be achieved by a much wider range of scripting languages than was previously possible.

Stephen Quinn on mobile journalism
August 7th, 2008Posted by Laura Oliver in Mobile
"You need to have the fundamentals in place before you start playing with new technology. The skills are the same as for traditional media plus an awareness of what's possible, and a willingess to play with the tools, a willingness to accept that journalism may move beyond what we currently know," Stephen Quinn, academic and author of Knowledge Management in the Digital Newsroom, told Paul Bradshaw from the Online Journalism Blog in this interview.
Quinn discusses mobile journalism and how the mainstream media are getting involved:

"Hey, listen, I needed tickets to the U.S. Open" tennis event, he says of the potential prize.
The truth: Mr. Rutman, 50, was being a nice guy, indulging the young women who accosted him at Carat's entrance, with no idea they were hitting up a bigwig of a multibillion-dollar media buying agency.
With a blue-chip client list that has grown in both billings and cachet this year, Mr. Rutman, the newly promoted president of Aegis Group's Carat USA, is only a phone call away from any tickets he wants, including the U.S. Open, broadcast on client CBS-TV's network. When you oversee an estimated $3 billion in media spending each year, you're on everybody's A-list, from TV networks that broadcast events to the sponsor-hungry event organizers themselves.
"Charlie can have his pick," says George Schweitzer, exec VP-marketing at CBS.
As Mr. Rutman recalled the sweepstakes pit stop several days later, he says: "I really just like to help people out-it's as simple as that. They were trying to do something nice for us, and I was trying to do something nice for them."
Carat more than doubled its billings in February on what is now a $700 million account as it outdueled WPP Group's MindShare for the consolidated Pfizer business, including the huge portion from the former Warner-Lambert Co. Then came AOL Time Warner's New Line Cinema account, followed by the U.S. portion of the Philips Electronics business. In August, Carat peeled the $55 million domestic Adidas business away from Leagas Delaney, San Francisco. As client spending has sputtered this year, Carat USA scooped up $750 million in new business.
Although the wins make for nice headlines, satisfying existing clients like RadioShack Corp. and Viacom's CBS is just as fulfilling, Mr. Rutman says. Carat hasn't seen a significant piece of business exit since Ameritech Corp. was swallowed up in a 1999 merger.
Mr. Schweitzer, who worked with Mr. Rutman for years at Bates USA, moved his account from that shop when Mr. Rutman joined Carat in 1998 without a review.
"We wanted to be with Charlie," Mr. Schweitzer says. "He's value all the way. He cuts to the chase, and he's very instinctive."

Update March 2014: Tacoma's Smoke + Cedar is now open. Read this blog post for more details.
Opening in early 2014 will be another restaurant from Pacific Grill owner and Tacoma native Gordon Naccarato.
The 165-seat restaurant is under construction at the Allenmore Golf Course in the new Elks lodge space, which was built after Elks members sold their previous lodge across the street to a developer. That site now houses a Wal-Mart.
In keeping with his penchant for naming his restaurants with a nod to their locations, Naccarato is calling his newest venture Smoke + Cedar, which will be located just off South 19th and Cedar streets.
At the cooking helm of Smoke + Cedar will be a chef familiar to Tacomans.
Matt Colony will be returning to this side of the bridge to serve as executive chef. Naccarato and Colony have collaborated together before - Colony was chef at Naccarato's Beach House at Purdy, then worked at Naccarato's Pacific Grill. Colony was executive chef of Maxwell's Restaurant + Lounge in the St. Helens neighborhood until he left in 2011 to work at a restaurant in Poulsbo. He briefly worked at Green.House in Gig Harbor before taking a chef position in the San Juans earlier this year.
The new restaurant space is under construction, which means an exact opening date is not yet set for Smoke + Cedar. Naccarato said via email he hopes for a January 2014 opening, but construction could push out that deadline.
The restaurant will serve polished modern fare - expect playful spins on classic American dishes. Naccarato specializes in food with a 1960s sensibility, but with 21st-century presentations.
The restaurant will be open to the public. The lodge will serve breakfast through dinner, with a bar menu, too. This will be Naccarato's first restaurant serving breakfast.
The menu still is in development, but expect breakfast dishes such as brioche French toast, blueberry ricotta pancakes, shrimp and grits and sausage gravy with biscuits modeled after those from cooking legend Shirley Corriher.
At lunch, diners will find soup, salads and sandwiches that sound inspired by Pacific Grill's menu. A signature Smoke + Cedar burger will have cedar-smoked ketchup. A rough draft sandwich menu includes a clever-sounding smoked trout spin on a classic bagel and lox (made with house pickled red onions), an open-faced ham and turkey sandwich with Nueske's called a "Prosperity Sandwich," a prime rib dip and a crab burger made with house tartar.
At dinner, find pastas, seafood and steaks. A draft menu lists rigatoni with a Sunday gravy and a turkey pasta dish cheekily called "School Lunch Turkey Tetrazzini." Meat selections include prime rib, pork chops and filet mignon. Naccarato's flair with seafood shows up as cedar planked steelhead - which Naccarato plans to make with an on-site smoker - and scallops with bacon quinoa.
The lodge space will be portioned into the a dining area, with a separate bar space about the same size as downtown Tacoma's Pacific Grill. An 80-seat patio will open during warmer months.
Wrote Naccarato of the interior, "... the space will feel like a modern rustic NW lodge." He added, "The same interior designers that did Pacific Grill have done the interiors -- McVey Oakley Design Studio. They have remodeled the Space Needle, Ray's Boathouse, and did work for Bill and Melinda Gates in their personal home."
Naccarato, son of longtime Tacoma sports promoter Stan Naccarato, has a prolific restaurant resume in the South Sound and beyond. He was bound for law school after graduating from the University of Washington, but wound up cooking in Los Angeles restaurants. His resume includes working alongside some of America's most famous chefs - Mark Peel, Nancy Silverton, Michael McCarty and Jonathan Waxman.
In 1984, Naccarato partnered with the late director-producer Bruce Paltrow (father to Gwyneth) and opened Gordon's in Aspen, Colo. While at Gordon's, Naccarato was named one of the best new chefs by Food and Wine Magazine (and Aspen still talks about him - read this article).
Steve Naccarato prodded his brother to return to the South Sound and Naccarato did. In 2002, the brothers opened the Beach House at Purdy, which they closed in 2008. Naccarato opened Pacific Grill in 2005 with business partner Joe Hardwick Jr. in the historic Waddell Building in downtown Tacoma.
In June 2012, Naccarato opened the casual cafe Classics by Pacific Grill inside LeMay- America's Car Museum. This year, he opened Shake Shake Shake with brother Steve Naccarato and business partner and Tacoma artist Robert Stocker.
Check back for an update later this month.

King County will pay an additional $1.47 million to a man left brain damaged after he was slammed into a wall by a sheriff's deputy in May 2009.
The payment will bring to nearly $11.5 million the total amount collected by Chris Harris and his family. The additional $1.5 million was agreed to after a judge sanctioned the county for withholding key documents about the deputy's history of using excessive force. The judge had ordered a future hearing to assess more damages, but the Harris family and King County reached a settlement.
The KING 5 Investigators discovered the county had failed to turn documents about Paul over to the Harris family and reported on the case in the Bully with a Badge series.
King county also agreed to issue a formal apology to Harris, who was left permanently disabled and requiring 24-hour care after he was tackled by King Co. Sheriff's Deputy Matt Paul. Paul had mistakenly identified Harris as a suspect in a stabbing. Surveillance video showed Harris raising his hands to surrender prior to Paul tackling him.
Although we continue to strongly disagree with the court that any documents were intentionally withheld by anyone in our office, this resolution does allow for the Harris family to move forward and we wish them the best. said King County Sheriff Steve Strachan.
In September, with Harris's wife and uncle looking on, Pierce County Judge Stephanie Arend slammed King County for failing to supply the Harris family hundreds of pages of documents related to the case, including prior complaints about Deputy Paul's use of force lodged by supervisors and citizens.
Defendant King County's lack of effort and pattern of deliberate indifference with respect to producing responsive information to plaintiff Harris is reprehensible, Judge Arend said in September. The case was moved to Pierce County because it involved the King County Sheriff's Office.
One of the documents the county failed to turn over to the Harris family was a 2007 email in which a supervisor at the police training academy warned that Paul exhibited behaviors that were a concern and we no longer wished to use him.
The county was aware of a pattern of abuses or actions by Deputy Paul and they turned a blind eye to it, Harris family attorney Sim Osborn told KING 5 on Tuesday.
With the latest settlement, the Harris family told KING 5 they are relieved they can put lawsuits behind them and focus on caring for Chris. He turns 32 on Wednesday and the family said while they will have to feed him his birthday cake, they hope he can blow out the candles on his own.
A judge must still approve the new settlement. King County also faces a federal lawsuit filed by a jaywalker who was tackled to the ground by Deputy Paul a year after Harris was severely injured.
Below: Read Judge Arend's order regarding the county's failure to turn over documents to Harris's legal team.

Locals seem open to the idea of the Islanders moving west — as long as it's just a few miles.
Fans at Citi Field asked yesterday about the report that floated the possibility of the Islanders leaving Nassau Coliseum to become the Mets' neighbors at a new arena in Queens were receptive, even enthusiastic, about the plan if it helps revitalize the struggling franchise and prevents a move to a more remote destination such as Kansas City.
"I would support them if they move to Queens, but if they leave town, that would be it," said John Minicucci, a lifelong Islanders fans from Nassau County whose parents have season tickets. "I think Queens would rally around the Islanders."
His buddy, Todd Steinhaus, who grew up a hearty slap shot away from the Coliseum in West Hempstead and now lives in nearby East Meadow, said he thinks a fresh location could perk up his favorite hockey team.
"The Coliseum is a dump," he said. "It's run down, it's beat-up. I'd love to see them get a new facility. It's like getting a new shot at life, keeping it relevant and local."
City residents were keen on the prospect of reducing their travel time to see the Isles and beefing up the boroughs' sports scene.
"I would go to a lot more games — I haven't been to a game in years," said George Kazolas of Jamaica. "We need some fresh blood. I think the Jets should have been on the West Side, the Nets in Brooklyn. It's awesome. The excitement, that energy would feed out."
Said non-driving Rangers fan Bruce Reiter of Manhattan, who reasoned that a new hockey arena in Flushing would allow him to take the train to games, "They deserve a new building. I think hockey has a great tradition in the city."
But not all were gung-ho about the Islanders abandoning their home from the halcyon days.
"The Islanders used to be attached to the community and they lost that," said Daniel Festa, who grew up in Massapequa and lives in Brooklyn. "I grew up on Long Island in the '80s when they won four Stanley Cups. It felt really good to have a local team. . . . You would see the same kind of roadblocks here [as the Lighthouse Project has had in Hempstead] when the ball starts rolling."
Others think the scheme's reported hatchers — Islanders owner Charles Wang and Mets COO Jeff Wilpon — are no more than drama Queens.
"It's a bargaining tactic," James Markotsis said.

Happy upcoming New Year!
We wish you happy holidays!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Dear friends!
The departing year of 2016 has brought us spectacular discoveries and introduced new prospects!
GS Group unlocks the Ultra HD television to viewers
In January 2016, the GS Group investment and industry holding company presented the first Russian digital TV set-top box to support the Ultra HD (4K) broadcasting called the GS A230. This new model under the General Satellite brand means that 4K video content can now be viewed on modern Ultra HD TV-sets.

E-commerce is vital to the travel industry, with almost three-quarters of travel research taking place online and around a third of hotel revenue coming from online bookings.
As such hoteliers are constantly trying to master the art of selling the right room, to the right customer, at the right time.
A new report from QuBit shows looks at the search and social performance of ten of the UK's top hotel brands and online travel sites including Hotels.com, Booking.com, Agoda.co.uk, Hoteldirect.co.uk, Venere.com, Premier Inn, Hilton, Holiday Inn, Marriott and Travelodge.
It found that while Booking.com has the strongest social presence, Hotels.com is most visible in search.
Here's a look at the results...
Social has had a huge impact on travel as reviews and recommendations play an increasingly important role in the purchase journey.
According to data included in Google's Zero Moment of Truth marketing white paper the average traveller looks at 10 sources of information before making a booking. So it is important for travel sites to have a social presence to try and be part of the thousands of conversations taking place online.
To measure how well each of the brands is performing on social media QuBit assessed their presence across Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest and Facebook.
Social scores are calculated based on each company's reach on social networks, which is then weighted based on the average time spent on the website and revenue driven through each source.
Booking.com has the strongest social presence, being the most followed travel site on Facebook, Google+ and Pinterest.
Interestingly, despite having very different brand images Hilton and Holiday Inn have a very similar number of fans and followers.
Also, six of the ten sites analysed have begun using Pinterest. Booking.com is one of the top performers on this site with 657 followers and 39 pinboards.
With so much of their revenue coming from e-commerce it's vital that travel brands are visible in search. For this report, QuBit looked at the result from these high traffic search terms: Hotels, Cheap Hotels, Hotels UK, Book a Room and Hotel Rooms.
This table shows a breakdown of the number of Google searches in which each site will appear on the first page of results, with Hotels.com the clear winner thanks to its visibility in brand search terms.
None of the sites appeared on all search terms both organically and paid for, while Hilton, Hoteldirect.co.uk and Venere.com did not appear on any of the high traffic search terms.
Comments (3)
I take issue with the title of this story. As the article reports, the study identified that "Booking.com has the strongest social presence." The title claims that Booking.com "outperforms hotel brands on social media," which implies a very different conclusion to the study.
That a company has a larger presence in a marketing channel doesn't necessarily translate into achieving business objectives ... i.e. revenue. In the same way counting the number of "likes" on a Facebook page or "followers" on Twitter are not a measure of bottom line objectives, marketers as well as the media need to be careful when drawing conclusions that aren't tied to business performance, such as revenue. Just because Booking.com is generating more noise on social media doesn't mean they are generating more revenue or "outperforming" the competition, it just means they are making more noise. Period.
Followup to Teri's comment above, more fans/followers does not necessarily mean that a brand is "more successful" in social. I agree that the assumptions in the study are misleading.
Example: This chart from FacebookEngagementIndex.com (http://goo.gl/PY7ny) compares the same brands as this study. Booking.com does have the most fans, but it's at the bottom of the barrel in terms of engaging with them (FEI score of 5%). Marriott, by comparison, has only 20% of the fans, but is engaging at a level 4x higher than Booking.com (FEI score of 20%). My long-term money is on Marriott.
Content from engagement-based strategies are valued much higher by Facebook's EdgeRank algorithm, and often make it to a higher percentage of a brand's fans.
FEI currently tracks about 700 travel brands -- perfect for apple-to-apple comparisons of social engagement in travel, just like this one!
The brand missing from the results is LateRooms, far bigger search reach than some of the hotel brands and OTAs listed. Any reason for the omission?

As Wi-Fi--and laptops and mobile devices--become more ubiquitous, users from kids to adults find themselves suffering from injuries ranging from carpel tunnel syndrome to "BlackBerry thumb." The first in a series of features and reviews on the ergonomics of Wi-Fi-induced mobility, this article offers tips on how to prevent injuries.
As publicly accessible Wi-Fi access points come to more and more coffee shops, libraries, and other venues, people are using laptops in environments that compromise comfort and often precipitate pain. That's because on a notebook computer, the monitor and keyboard can't be independently positioned.
"That insists that you crane your neck to see the screen," says Lenore Bryck, a pain-relief and massage therapist in Amherst, Massachusetts who works with clients suffering from chronic pain and repetitive strain injuries. But if you elevate your laptop so the screen is at an appropriate height for your neck, you've moved it out of the comfort zone for typing.
"And then you've got the whole gamut of injuries to your wrists and hands," Bryck says, which aren't so different from the problems a person can have with an improperly arranged desktop computer, but they tend to be worse. Carpal tunnel syndrome, in which several fingers can feel numb because the nerve leading to them gets inhibited, is a well-known problem, but pain can range from the fingertips through the arms, shoulders, neck, and back due to the combination of poor keyboard and monitor placement.
In 2006, the most recent year for which the US Bureau of Labor Statistics has data, there were 13,010 reported workplace incidences of carpal tunnel syndrome. Although the data don't track how workers got carpal tunnel syndrome, computer use is likely a significant cause. Carpal tunnel syndrome accounted for 3.6 percent of all workplace musculoskeletal injuries in 2006. That figure was 4.4 percent in 2005 and 4.6 percent in 2004. While the slight decrease might suggest improved ergonomics for some workers, Bryck and others say overall incidence of discomfortif not, perhaps, diagnosed carpal tunnel syndromeis on the rise. One reason the labor statistics don't reflect that is the shift in demographics. Increasingly, younger computer users are complaining of paincollege, high school, and even middle school students.
The ubiquity of laptops that extends down to some of the youngest users reflects an overall industry trend.
"Portable PCs represented 40.1 percent of all PCs sold worldwide in 2007," says Michael Shirer of the research firm IDC. That makes them hardly peripheral to the overall PC market, which is where they entered the playing fieldintended for occasional use that complemented a desktop machine.
You don't have to work in pain
Importantly, pain and conditions such as carpal tunnel are not inevitable results of notebook computer useat any age. Occupational therapist Gail Hegeman of Pioneer Ergonomics in western Massachusetts says as more people in their 20s find their way to heroften because of acute non-computer-use injuries, she's astonished at their attitude toward pain.
"They almost act as if it's normal" to experience pain from using their computers, she says. "They say to me, `oh, well, I just work in pain.'" It doesn't have to be that way.
A variety of proactive measures can help prevent pain, and are also recommended for pain relief.
First and foremost, whenever possible plug an external mouse or trackball and keyboard into your laptop. In particular, if you have a regular space where you most often work, make sure that it allows for you to elevate your laptop to a comfortable height while attaching a mouse and keyboard below.
You've heard it before but it's important: take frequent breaks. Set a timer or download some software, Hegeman says. Every 20-30 minutes you should get up and gently stretch. Hegeman also says that some of the ergonomic "rules" you may remember haven't held up over time. The 90-degree angle at the hip, for example, which got wide publicity for years, is no longer rigid.
"Leaning back a little is now considered to be fine," she says. If you're comfortable sitting ramrod straight, that's great. But if not, adjusting your chair slightly to a create a more open hip angle may be better for you. But dont follow suit with the elbows, she cautions.
"I'm a big believer in the 90-degree elbow joint angle," she says. "I've seen so many repetitive strain injuries from people who put their elbow straight, who lean back in their chair."
Leaning back in a chair may seem minor compared to how some people compute these days. Stretched out on the bed, lounging on the couch or even lying flat on the floor all have become not unusual positions for laptop use, especially among young adults and teenagers.
Bryck says being aware of how you're positioned and what that does to your body is an important step toward improvement.
"For me, the best way to check in on the way you're standing, the way you're sitting, the way you're inhabiting your body, is to check in on your breathing," she says. Is your rib cage free to expand and fall? Are your shoulders and neck relaxed so your head feels like it's floating? Do you have a natural lumbar curve? "To me, that's the main check-in point. If you do that, everything is going to fall in place."

A Life Well Played
Product Description
This book is Palmer's parting gift to the world―a treasure trove of entertaining anecdotes and timeless wisdom that readers will celebrate and cherish.
No one has won more fans around the world and no player has had a bigger impact on the sport of golf than Arnold Palmer. In fact, Palmer is considered by many to be the most important professional golfer in history, an American icon.
In A Life Well Played, Palmer takes stock of the many experiences of his life, bringing new details and insights to some familiar stories and sharing new ones. This book is for Arnie's Army and all golf fans but it is more than just a golf book; Palmer had tremendous success off the course as well and is most notable for his exemplary sportsmanship and business success, while always giving back to the fans who made it all possible. Gracious, fair, and a true gentleman, "Arnie" was the gold standard of how to conduct yourself in your career, life, and relationships. Perfect for men and women of all ages, his final book offers advice and guidance, sharing personal stories of his career on the course, success in business, and the great relationships that gave meaning to his life.
A Word From the Author
The people I have met have made my life special. If you're a golfer reading this, think about how many people you've met and made friends with because you played golf. Then take another person who doesn't play golf. I don't care where you are or what sport you're in, it can't compare, in my mind, to golf in bringing people together. Golf is a world in itself. It's an experience that's really worth living.
It's been a wonderful life, I must say, and I say so with all humility and with appreciation for the people who made it so special. I hope the following pages adequately express that sentiment and that they illuminate for you some of those important things I learned along the way.

Agreed with your points. It's nice to see MGR stands on its own, but is still tied into its roots.
Not overly surprised at the mixed reviews.
This game is looking awesome! Great read, too.
Great console. So many great memories. Can't wait to see Sony try to top it with PS4 (don't think PS3 quite lived up to what the PS2 did).
I've done this and it works really well. Really hope this comes to consoles soon!
Woah, that's pretty clever!
Fantastic. Will hold people over until GTA V.
Seems like it might be right. Not sure if I'm looking forward to this game yet.
It's not on par with BioShock, but certainly more interesting than most military shooters.
DX2, for sure in 2014 when PS4 launches. Would be surprised not to see a God of War and Uncharted. I like the prospect of new IPs, but it's obviously easier to launch a console with well established franchises.
Good read. I agree that the names associated with each console aren't enough to sustain growth. Hopefully we'll see something more than better graphics in the next gen.
This is definitely something I would like to try before I buy. I always like my DualShocks, but truth is when I play with my friends that own a 360, they have a hard time without their controllers.
Nice for trophy hunters, I suppose.
Good points here. I also recommend jogging with a PSP (probably should do that on a treadmill and not on a busy street).
Super excited for this.
That is incredible!
I tend to believe this source. Personally, if they make the service safer, I'll feel compensated.
Video chat, aye? Sounds odd, but definitely worth checking out.
Really curious to see how this pans out. I like the idea of having more than one race.

Irish Investment Network Featured
Business angels are private individuals or groups that invest their capital into start-up companies and entrepreneurial ideas in return for partial company management and/or a return on a set amount of the company's profit (known as an "equity stake"). They often have other benefits for a company, such as experience in the particular sector and often a wide range of industry contacts that can help get your business in motion.
Most new businesses will have trouble getting significant amounts of capital, but business angel investment can help companies reach the next level of financing and expansion. Over the past few years, angel investor groups have formed across Ireland, especially with the recent surge of companies worldwide investing in Ireland, and the market is ripe for new start-up companies to develop. The Irish Investment Network is part of a worldwide network that provides a service to all entrepreneurs and investors. It allows members to find and connect with other members regarding business investments and funding. Thousands of business angels use our network to search for ideas, and we have entrepreneurs signing up on a daily basis.
Whether you're an entrepreneur looking to get a new business off the ground, or looking to expand your business into new areas then you'll have to consider business capital, which is the money that you need for your venture. When a new business has limited business capital then it can be very difficult to launch that business successfully and many businesses fail because of a lack of funds, whether that is due to low initial business capital or on-going cash-flow.
Writing a comprehensive business plan will help you work out just how much business capital you should need to make a success of your business venture and this initial planning is the corner stone of success for many businesses. However if your business plan is telling you that you need to generate more business capital then you'll need to explore what options that you have.
Whilst there are a lot of ways to raise business capital some of these ways such as grants or loans can be difficult or unlikely to succeed due to the restrictions imposed by the organisations providing the business capital. Traditionally businesses might have considered going to their bank for a business capital loan, but banks have become stricter on their lending criteria and are less likely to loan money to an entrepreneur who has not got a perfect or long track record.
Luckily business owners do have other options open to them, such as private investment and in many cases this option make more sense for a new business in the long term. Whilst any investor will expect the business they are investing in has a solid plan behind it, entrepreneurs may have a better chance to gain the vital business capital that they need.

Review: My Glass is Runn, Die Booth
Okay, that isn't a review. Let's try again.
Die Booth's latest collection of short stories My Glass is Runn is a delightfully ambiguous mix of terror and tenderness. These are stories that are not afraid to look at the dark places, but are capable of remarkable grace, and it is in this tension that the collection works.
Take a story like 'The Ghost Bride' where a bereaved mother is haunted by a white clad apparition - the victim of a terrible crime. The sense of eireeness, of the uncanny, of the awful things one does for love are intense - but Booth never looses that human dimension, giving the denoumont it's power. These are tales that slip through cracks, offering different constructions on horror truisms, motivations that come at you from the left field. These twists of perspective can be used to offer a redemption, even a happy ending. Sometimes, they can throw you headlong in to the shockingly dark. Perhaps most unsettling, however, is when Booth decides to bring the two into ambiguous synthesis.
This is a collection that is wary of authority, or conventional success. It sides against parents, bosses, peers groups and urban life, in favour of more equitable, human connections, life lived on a smaller scale. There a real tenderness here, even in the most uncomfortable moments - a sense of outsiders tenuously clinging to one another, seeking some desperate relief. This is not to say there aren't some distinct and impressive scares - 'Don't Be Afraid of the Lights' is a glory of skin-crawling horror - but Booth deals in a quieter unease which I found remiscent of Kate Mos.
However, for all its strengths, My Glass is Runn is an uneven collection; many of the stories have previously been published elsewhere and some of the shorter examples have the abruptness I associate with a tight word cout. It isn't that they aren't perfectly satisfying ghost stories as they stand, it is only that compared to the longer pieces in the collection it becomes clear that they could could have done with a little more space to breathe.
Indeed, Booth's fiction seems more suited to a slightly longer tale - with the exception of 'Dust Bunnies', my favourites tended to be those where more time was allowed for character development and the slow build of terror. And, where this suceeds, it is sublime. 'Maketh the Man' is probably my favourite, and a nightmarishly intense look at infatuation and its consequences, but 'The Fourth Ape' is also a fantastic take Gothic, while 'To Be Heard' is a wonderful ghost story in the old style.
Also, zombie stories that I liked.
There really is an awful lot to love here. Booth balances the familiar ghost story form with a fresh and unconventional voice. Not only is My Glass is Runn a book to read - he is an author to watch.
