Big Country Bluegrass
By Bill Conger
There are two popular schools of thought about bluegrass music. One believes that traditional bluegrass is the solid foundation that can have additional construction from contemporary music influences. The other conviction praises the founders of the music with no desire to stray from the roots of the original sound. No doubt Big Country Bluegrass subscribes to the latter philosophy, and they have proved it with their diehard traditional approach since the band's beginning in January 1987.
"I don't criticize bluegrass musicians," bandleader Tommy Sells says of the more contemporary players. "I just love traditional bluegrass. It's all good. But if you're going to do bluegrass, you just as well do what you're calling it. So that's what we try to do. We play for the people that pay to get in, not the other musicians, because they won't buy your CDs anyway," he adds with a laugh. "It's all great music, but I love traditional heartfelt music."
"I was raised up in it," Sells wife, Teresa (rhythm/vocals) said. "It's got a feel that, to me, the more modern stuff don't have."
"We're one of the few groups playing traditional bluegrass music at this time," Lynwood Lunsford, BCB's banjoist said. "There's a lot of great music being played, but because of the age of the players perhaps or the influences they've had in their lives, the music they're playing is not quite what us old fogies call traditional."
The band's loyalty to the bluegrass beginnings has certainly garnered a strong fan following, especially with the older crowds. "They come up and shake your hand and tell you that they're really proud that we're still playing real bluegrass music," Sells said while attending the 39th Annual SPBGMA ( Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music Association) Awards and National Convention in Nashville, Tenn. "That's what they were raised on—Bill Monroe, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, the Stanley Brothers, Don Reno, and Red Smiley. They can relate to that type of music. Like Lynwood plays some Don Reno stuff on the banjo. When they hear that, they wake up, because that's what they grew up with. You don't hear that anymore."
The newest configuration for Big Country Bluegrass is made up of Tommy Sells (mandolin/vocals), Teresa Sells (rhythm guitar/vocals), Eddie Gill (lead singer/guitar), Lynwood Lunsford (banjo/vocals), Tony King (bass), and Tim Laughlin (fiddle/mandolin/vocals).
The band has seen a few changes in musicians over the years. Wade Petty, Ronnie Gravley, James King, Udell McPeak, Keith Vollmer, Jeff Michael, Jimmy Trivette, Tom Brantley, Billy Hawks, Tim Lewis, Ramona Church Michael, and Johnny Williams contributed their talents. For the most part BCB has remained a cohesive group.
"We try to get along," Sells said. "We're all on the same page. We all like the same style of music, and we do our own thing. A good bluegrass band that everybody gets along with is like family. You just try to make a go of it and do the best you can. There's been good times, and there's been bad times," Teresa added. "You just try to keep it all together and keep going."
Two veteran members of the band who had been with Sells since the band's earlier days passed away during the last decade. In 2003, Larry Pennington, who was the banjo man for over 15 years, died of Lou Gehrig's disease. The band hosts a memorial festival for their departed friends each year in Galax, Va. Alan Mastin, the bass player for 21 ½ years, died of an apparent heart attack in May 2010 on his way back from the Festival In The Pines in Rocky Mount, Va.
"Larry was one of the best to ever put a set of picks on!" Tommy said. "He came from the old school and had an outstanding three-finger-style roll on a banjo. He told us when he started with us that he knew we were wanting to do something with it, and he would stay with us until he had to quit or died. We never had a cross word in 15 years of traveling and playing anywhere.
"Alan was just a fun guy to be around," recalls Tommy. "He was a good solid bass player and loved to travel. He had a good sense of humor and kept everybody laughing."
King, who has played bass with the band the last three years, had to be a quick study when he unexpectedly joined the group following Mastin's death. "Actually, the first time I played with them was at Alan's funeral," King remembers. "It was tough, but I'm glad I'm here. I love doing it, and I hope Alan's proud of what I'm doing. That was a hard way to come into the band.
"I hadn't been listening to any of their music, and then all of a sudden, boom. I played his funeral, and the next week I'm at Gettysburg playing on stage with them—one of the biggest festivals there is, and I'm standing there scared to death. There was no time to learn anything. I learned it all on the fly. It was a tough test. I think I made it. I don't want to do anything like that again."
The transition was easier for Lunsford (who replaced Ramona Church Michael), because he was familiar with BCB's style and had some time to prepare for the show. "He come in on a show with us and kicked off everything and knew the CD up one side and down the other," Sells said. "We did a show just like we had played together for ten years. He's a good man and a great traditional banjo player. He can just walk that banjo in right behind a song."
Lunsford's resume includes playing with Lost & Found and Sells' hero, Jimmy Martin. "It was like coming back home again," the former Sunny Mountain Boy said. "This is the music that has always been in my heart. Coming back to play what I love to play and enjoy was really like homecoming."
"Jimmy used to say this, and people thought he was being arrogant," Lunsford said. "But I've found it to be true: 'If you ever learn to play my music, it would be difficult to play anybody else's.' If it's not based on Jimmy's music, then it is difficult for me to play."
Eddie Gill most recently performed with Travers Chandler & Avery County. He joined Big Country Bluegrass in March of 2012, replacing long-time fiddler Jeff Michael. "His voice, style, and personality fit us to a T, and we're extremely happy to have him in the group!" Tommy said.
"I think it was a real good step in my career to join them," Gill said. "I've listened to their music through the years."
Gill is a fourth generation musician with a legacy of banjo playing family members behind him including his late father, Hermon Gill. The father and son started Eddie Gill and the Grassmasters in 1993. "When I joined Big Country, it was like I thought it might be a little bit more pressure playing with people that I had never played with before," Gill said. "But it was just like playing with family."
While Gill wasn't familiar with some of the band's original songs, he could easily hang with them on bluegrass standards. "From the moment we did our first two practices, just to run over and see what's going to work, it just seemed to fit. They play the type of bluegrass I like. The songs that they named off, I knew them. I had played them."
Tim Laughlin's first official show with the band was on New Year's Eve 2012. "I've been out on the road with all kinds of different bands over the years," Laughlin said. "Tommy, Teresa, and the band—we just all seemed to jell good. We all get along. You've got to be able to run up and down the road with people like that."
Laughlin has played mandolin with many professional bands including his latest stint with Marty Raybon. He may play some twin mandolin with Tommy, but for the most part, he'll be sizzling on the fiddle. "I know a lot of their songs," Laughlin said. "If I can hear usually a verse and chorus of a song, if I can just keep it in my mind long enough to get through it on stage, I can play it."
What's Next?
Big Country Bluegrass's newest album, Memories Of The Past (Rebel Records), is the band's 17th project and holds true to the creators of bluegrass music.
"I've been recording since 1977," Lunsford said. "I don't know how many projects, but a lot of them, and for me, this is the best thing I've ever recorded, and I usually hate everything I do on a recording. It's feeling, I think. It's really, really difficult to capture feeling on a recording, but somehow on this recording, magic happened. The songs really touched all of us. We could relate to them. It was just a really fun recording session. It doesn't sound manufactured. It sounds like we just got up there, had a good time, and played."
"I'm the happiest with this CD of any we've ever made," Sells said. "We've got a new singer on there. He's one of the Red Allen/Joe Val style singers. He can sing high or low, kind of like Hylo Brown."
This project marked the first time that Gill and bassist Tony King had recorded with the band. "Everybody was worried it was going to be a different sound," King admits. "It is a different sound, but it's Big Country Bluegrass."
Although Gill had recorded in the past, he confesses he wasn't sure what to expect in the studio with his new band. "Everything just seemed to fit together," Gill said. "It was really no pressure. [Engineer] Wesley Easter is just awesome to work with. He made it easier for me. It was like sitting down at a festival somewhere, jamming, except you had headphones on your head. It was real laid-back. I thought it would be a little harder."
Fourteen songs with the 1950s sound are on the disc including Jim & Jesse's "My Time Is Running Out." Tommy explains, "I heard it on the Ronnie Reno show on RFD-TV one morning. We fell in love with the high baritone and the meaning of that song. My wife sang high baritone on it and Don Rigsby sings tenor. It gets on up yonder. It's bluegrass. I mean, folks if you're going to call it bluegrass, play bluegrass. That's what we've done for 26 years."
BCB turned Bill Monroe's "Little Girl And The Dreadful Snake" into a duet with Gill and Don Rigsby, who filled in some on fiddle with the band last year. "I'm telling you when it kicks off, it sounds like Monroe in the early 1950s. We didn't know we were going to record it until we got into the studio for the last session. Don and Eddie had been doing it on stage. I tried to remember how Monroe had kicked it off with all the slur notes instead of playing it straight. I went in there and nailed it the first time. Don said, 'Come on out!' He said, 'You got it!'"
The band also turned to the award-winning songwriting team of Tom T. Hall and Dixie Hall for the comical, hard-driving number, "I'm Putting On My Leaving Shoes."
The Band's Beginning
Tommy, the founding member of the group, got a late start playing bluegrass. He was 29 years old when he entered the fold, while his wife began playing when she was a child. "Her daddy, the late Junior Bowers, influenced us a lot," Sells said. "He was a musician himself. We'd go down on Sunday afternoons and eat, and we'd all sit around and pick. We got to going to bluegrass festivals and just fell in love with it. We decided to form a group. I never dreamed of anything like this."
"Back in the mountains, there's not a lot of entertainment," Teresa said. "You've got to make your own entertainment a lot of times. It started out just sitting around picking and developed into a band."
Named after Jimmy Martin's instrumental, "Big Country," the band began on January 7, 1987, with no major expectations and no paycheck. They simply loved the music. Charles Delp (guitar/lead vocals), Freel Taylor (bass), and Larry Pennington (banjo/vocals) joined Tommy and Teresa as original members. "We used to play in people's kitchens and carports all around the country for get-togethers. They'd feed us when we first started. We were just thinking about playing fire department shows, benefits, barbecues, fall festivals, birthday parties, and stuff like that," Sells said.
To keep his beloved bandmembers, he knew he had to start bringing in the bucks. "I decided to keep them busy and see how many bookings we could get. We do the traditional style of bluegrass, and at that time it was going pretty good."
People fell in love with the band's sound, down-to-earth traditional bluegrass influenced by Tommy's upbringing and mountain way of life. He recalls, "My daddy used to listen to the Stanley Brothers on WCYB and of course the Grand Ole Opry, Bill Monroe, Lester and Earl, and the Don Reno show on TV when I was a kid. Two groups that were a big influence on me were Jimmy Martin and the Sunny Mountain Boys and the Johnson Mountain Boys. I carried a little old eight-track player around. We used to walk to church, and here I go carrying in a little eight-track tape player and would listen to Jimmy Martin sing 'Freeborn Man' and 'Sunny Side Of The Mountain.' Those were good memories. Later on, I heard the Johnson Mountain Boys do 'The Waves On The Sea,' and I just fell in love with their sound. To me, they're one of the tightest vocal and picking groups that's ever been in the history of bluegrass. David McLaughlin is my idol on the mandolin."
In short order, success began to build for the Virginia/Carolina Blue Ridge-based group. As they became better known and recognized for their award-winning talent in contests, promoters started calling, and the band ended up on the festival circuit. The group recorded ten CDs on their first major recording label, Hay Holler Records. Although they had four previous recordings, the label deal was another positive step forward.
In 1999, the band's classic sound helped them replicate Flatt & Scruggs' Martha White jingle for the flour company's hundredth anniversary. They beat out 75 other entrants across the nation to win the top prize, an all-expense paid trip to Nashville and an appearance on the Grand Ole Opry.
"It seemed like a dream," Sells remembers. "You listen to the Grand Ole Opry, and it seems like it's so far away when you're listening to it. They put us in that dark circle on the floor before the Opry started, and it made cold chill bumps run up you're back. I don't care who you are the first time you step on that stage, you're going to get nervous."
The band's next big stepping stone to success came further down the road when they recorded the album Open For Business (Mountain Roads Recordings). It included the single "High Alleghenies" that remained on the bluegrass chart for 11 months and held the number two spot for two months.
A year later with Rebel Records, Big Country Bluegrass released The Boys In Hats And Ties. The title track, written by Tom T. Hall, Dixie Hall, and Don Rigsby, stayed on the Bluegrass Unlimited chart for a year, topping out at number one. Another single, "Black Mountain Special," reached number ten and remained on the charts for 11 months. The Roots Music Report named the CD one of the top ten bluegrass albums of 2011.
The band has been nominated for a handful of awards in recent years at SPBGMA including Vocal Group Of The Year, Instrumental Group Of The Year, Bluegrass Band Of The Year, and Entertaining Group Of The Year.
Twenty-six years later, BCB now has taken the band's music as far as Missouri and have traveled extensively on the East Coast. They hope to extend their range even more and add other tour dates to the schedule. They continue to remain faithfully tied to traditional bluegrass and to touching the ones that matter the most, their fans.
"The main thing is the people that pay to get in—give them something that they enjoy, give them their money's worth and enjoy it with them," Sells said. "When they see you enjoy it, they'll enjoy it."

CFO Survey
Survey Reveals CFOs Reaction To Recession Concerns
- Nearly Half Cutting Back On Hiring and One Third Delaying Spending
- CFOs Also Favor Process Change For Ratings Agencies
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. and NEW YORK, March 26, 2008 — CFOs of American companies believe recession concerns in the U.S. are impacting their Company's budgets, spending and hiring, according to a recent survey of CFOs conducted by Financial Executives International (FEI) and Baruch College's Zicklin School of Business.
The economic downturn and weakness of the U.S. dollar continue to impact businesses in the U.S. While more than one third of CFOs (34%) reported that the weakness of the U.S. dollar has led to increased international sales, over half (51%) have seen an increase in the costs of commodities/raw materials, and one third (33%) say their quarterly earnings have decreased.
When asked what their view was of a potential recession in the U.S. in the current year, 41 percent of the CFOs surveyed said they believe the U.S. is currently in a recession, while an additional 32 percent believe the U.S. will likely go into a recession within the next 6 months. Only 18 percent said they did not believe the U.S. would go into a recession at all in 2008.
"What we are hearing from CFOs is, recession or not, they are taking defensive measures to combat the economic slowdown." said John Elliott, Dean of the Zicklin School of Business at Baruch College. "This quarter's survey revealed that almost half of the CFOs are in agreement with U.S. economists and believe we are currently in a recession."
Economic Optimism Continues to Sink
The CFO Optimism Index for the U.S. economy was 54.29 for this quarter, dropping even further past last quarter's three-year low of 56.26. Thirty-four percent of the CFOs surveyed said that, during the first quarter of this year, they had delayed the implementation of business-related spending due to recession concerns.
CFOs' outlook toward their own companies decreased again this quarter, as the Optimism Index of the CFOs' own companies sank to 68.12, falling 2.1 points lower than last quarter, which itself was a three-year low.
"This quarter's data points to a continued decline in optimism among CFOs," said Michael P. Cangemi, FEI President and CEO. "With the permeation of pessimism, the survey revealed two-thirds of companies identifying some type of cutbacks, specifically in the areas of layoffs and reduced hiring. It is now more important than ever for CFOs to identify efficiencies and conduct smart business."
Budget Changes
In response to the current economic downturn, 46 percent of the CFOs surveyed identified hiring as an area for cutbacks. Nearly a quarter (24%) selected conducting layoffs when asked the same question. Interestingly, a similar number (23%) of CFOs surveyed said they had actually increased their marketing / advertising budget as a response to the economic downturn.
Additional Data:
Ratings Agencies' Process
CFOs surveyed support changing the ratings agency process. Thirty-five percent of CFOs said ratings agencies should create a new rating scale. Nineteen percent of those surveyed recommended the addition of warning labels to the agencies' ratings, with close to half of respondents (46%) stating that they would have more confidence in the ratings if the agencies changed their process to include these warnings and provide better distinctions for structured finance ratings.
Economic Stimulus
When asked about the economic stimulus bill, only 12 percent of CFOs said they would increase equipment purchases to take advantage of the recently-passed bill which allows business accelerated depreciation tax breaks on equipment purchased and placed into service in 2008.
About the Survey
Full survey results are available at www.cfosurveys.com or from Jamie Renninger at email@example.com.
This quarter, the CFO Outlook Survey, conducted by Financial Executives International and Baruch College's Zicklin School of Business, interviewed 209 corporate CFOs electronically the week of
March 3. CFOs from both public and private companies and from a broad range of industries, revenues and geographic areas, including some off-shore companies, are represented. Survey respondents are members of Financial Executives International.
Financial Executives International has been conducting surveys gauging the country's economic outlook from the perspective of CFOs for the past ten years.

Last week I was fortunate to spend a couple of days near Key West in the Florida Keys with my friend and marine cinematographer Ben Sampson. In addition to fishing for blackfin tuna, we ended up working on some conceptual, fashion-type underwater photography. I figured this would be a great opportunity to use my underwater housing that I bought last year for my Sony Nex-7. I used it successfully last year while swimming with sea lions off the coast of Baja California Sur, so what could possibly go wrong?
Approximately 10 feet down, I noticed a ton of bubbles coming from the housing. The knob that controls the focal length had detached itself from the housing, and salt water flooded in. Turns out, the manufacturer simply pushes the knob onto the housing. It isn't secured at all — it simply goes into a little gear that turns a larger one. You can pull it off the housing. It also could, presumably, happen with vibration or the simple impact of landing in the water after rolling off a boat. To me, it's unbelievable that the manufacturer could market something specifically for underwater use when it is this flawed.
My camera was completely destroyed, as was the lens. About $1,300 worth of gear. I was really pissed and contacted the seller / manufacture of the housing, and customer service responded within a couple of hours. They refunded the purchase price right away, without even asking for proof that the housing was defective or asking that I send the housing back to them. Can't help but wonder if they've seen this movie before…!? Here is what they had to say:
"We can offer you a full refund for the case, but we will not be able to help you for your camera. Underwater case manufacturers cannot indemnify anyone for any loss or damage to cameras or lenses caused either directly or indirectly by mechanical malfunction or flooding of the product."
Hopefully somebody will come out with a well-designed, professional-caliber housing for the Sony Nex camera… in the meantime, let's just say that I wouldn't recommend buying this one at all.
Thankfully, Ben brought his Canon 5D III and pro housing, which we ended up using to take the following shots. He definitely saved the day!
Anyway, in case you're wondering what I ended up doing with my beloved Sony, well… it's an artificial reef now!
PS: I took it back out of the fish tank after I took the photo… no, the poor fish are not dying because of toxic metals in the water…:)

Beyoncé's video for the new song "Dance For You" is made up to look like an old film noir, but all those genre touchpoints are really just distractions. The video, it turns out, is really just five minutes of Beyoncé grinding, and you already know whether that's something you want to watch. This much, however, is indisputable: Beyoncé is very good at grinding. And, perhaps more debatably, she also deserves some credit for refusing to hide her pregnancy while, at the same time, being sexy as fuck in an extremely public way. Beyoncé herself co-directs alongside her "Party" co-director Alan Ferguson. Watch it below.
"Dance For You" appears on the deluxe edition of Beyoncé's 4, out 11/29 on Sony. It's definitely not a good enough reason to buy the album all over again.

The Pet Gear Designer Pet Stair III is a 3-step set of stairs that you can place next to tall furniture like a chair, couch, or bed. The Pet Gear Designer Pet Stair III protects your pet's joints from the pressure of jumping on and off furniture. It has wide, deep steps for easy up and down for both small and large pets, and includes a carpet tread on each step to add traction and make your pet feel safe while climbing to his or her favorite spot. The Pet Gear Designer Pet Stair III comes in four color fabrics to match most home decor, and it can easily be removed.
Dogs & Cats
The Pet Gear Designer Pet Stair III is perfect for older pets, pets with joint issues, or pets just recovering from surgery. The wide, deep steps allow a smaller dog to have his or her whole body on each step, and gives larger dogs the ability to comfortably climb the stairs. The incline reduces the amount of stairs needed to climb, which eliminates stress on your pet's joints and the carpet treads help ensure footing. The cover and carpet treads are removable and machine washable, and the stairs are easy to assemble with no tools required.
For animal use only.
Some pets may be wary of the Pet Gear Designer Pet Stair III, so try using a treat to coax your pet onto each step until he or she makes it to the top.

ACU Careers Advisor Caroline Ryan and Mack Horton
For ACU Commerce student and swimming superstar Mack Horton, 2016 surely must be the most exciting and demanding year.
The 20-year-old emerged as one of the biggest success stories of the Rio Olympics, winning gold in the 400m freestyle and taking a bold, public stance against drug use in the sport.
Just last week Mack received the Swimmer's Swimmer award, voted by his team mates, at Swimming Australia's annual Gala Dinner in Brisbane.
Recently he appeared as a keynote speaker at the Australian Association of Graduate Employers Conference in Melbourne, and took questions from CEO Ben Reeves and the 300 plus audience of professionals from graduate recruitment, human resources, university careers services and service providers.
Caroline Ryan from the ACU Career Development Service, Office of Student Success, was on hand to hear him speak.
"Mack really is a role model of employability for next generation talent. If his attitude to hard work and persistence in achieving results are anything to go by, this ACU student is destined for a great future career," she said.
Clearly determined, one of Mack's personal mantras is 'Everything happens for a reason, so when things don't go well it will still always work out'.
"I was pretty disappointed to miss out on selection for the 2012 Olympic swim team and the Worlds team that year, but when I look back now I realise I would have been out of my depth," he says.
He also admitted that he has faced failure during study, and acknowledged the importance of continuing to overcome challenges to achieve goals.
"You just have to keep working at it and accept these things as setbacks rather than failures so you can get back on track."
He credits his parents' guidance for his pragmatic attitude to success, social media interest and taking on challenges. Mack speaks about the importance of honesty, saying he has no regrets for starting a conversation on clean sport during the recent Olympics, which drew both widespread support and fierce social media backlash.
When asked about handling this media scrutiny and rivalry from competitors, Mack says, 'No one can take us too seriously if we don't take ourselves too seriously. That's the Australian culture ... to be a bit of a larrikin.'
Mack is currently studying Principles of Finance and Marketing as part of his Bachelor of Commerce, and has already gained some great insights into funding and investment in elite sports from his involvement in swimming and his Olympics experience at Rio.
ACU's Elite Athlete and Performer Program (EAPP) offers a flexible study regime and support with managing exams and timetables, for students juggling training, competition and academic commitments.
In focusing on goals and remaining motivated, he looks at the whole Olympic experience, and plans to improve on his success.
With the flexibility of the EAPP Mack is taking time to complete his studies, and is realistic about entering the business world. When he graduates he plans to gain generalist experience to increase his exposure to management practices.

High School Teacher-Turned-Congressman Trolls Republicans
Mark Takano may have left the classroom, but he did not leave his red pen there. Today he used that pen to own his Republican counterparts in Congress.
Where you stand on immigration reform almost doesn't matter. If you've spent any amount of time on the Internet, especially on Break.com, you've probably engaged in at least a small amount of trolling. You hate effective trolls; yet, you appreciate the art of the troll. Representative Mark Takano did a bit of trolling today when he took a draft letter being composed by Republican Representative Bill Cassidy to be sent to John Boehner, the current Speaker Of The House, and had a little bit of fun with it. Takano, who was a teacher before he became a congressman, took out his red pen and graded the draft letter, suggesting that Cassidy come by his office for additional help. Brilliant!
Whether you're for immigration reform or against it, you've got to give Takano a slow clap for his work here. His dedication to the joke was worthy of some of the greatest internet pranksters, and his attention to his adversaries' details ranks up there with the best trolls. Hopefully, this doesn't degenerate into yet another flame war, which is pretty much what all of politics has become. You've had your lulz, Representative Takano; it's time to get back down to business and work with the guys you just pwned to help solve our nation's problems.

2017 Cadillac XT5
2017 Cadillac XT5 Review, Ratings, Specs, Prices, and Photos
The 2017 Cadillac XT5 unibody is made of four evaluations of steel, each painstakingly chose and arranged to give the fancied solidness and crash quality. Joints braced with cements make this a keen structure without to such an extent as an aluminum hood to cut more weight. The front support and the back crossmember are both elastic separated to hold NVH under control.
Powertrain engineers contributed shrewd touches. The 3.6-liter V-6 is a well known GM size, however this is another DOHC 24-valve direct-infused configuration that is smoother, marginally more intense (310 pull), and more proficient thanks in substantial part to its variable valve timing, chamber shutdown, and auto stop-begin innovation. EPA consolidated mileage evaluations best the active SRX's by more than 15 percent.
An eight-speed programmed is standard on both front-and all-wheel-drive models. The AWD framework has a grip in the transaxle to disengage the driveshaft when most extreme footing isn't required. Two more grips in the back pivot course the torque to every back wheel. A control PC draws in the back grasps in light of overwhelming measurements of throttle or when it recognizes front slippage. The objective is certain footedness on all street surfaces, rather than the tail-sliding jokes incorporated with the new Ford Focus RS, which likewise utilizes a form of this AWD framework.
Cadillac creators gave the XT5 wide carried extents, an unmistakable grille impersonating Caddy's new shield logo, and aesthetic wrinkles in the hood and side surfaces. The LED front lighting exhibit and the taillamps are vertically situated to pillar Cadillac-ness a square away. A gesture to the past is the clue of balance etched into the back lights. Slender rooftop columns, mirrors appended to the entryways, and quarter-windows close to the base of the windshield all guide outward perceivability. A discretionary HD rearview video bolster triples the perspective out the back gave by a traditional rearview mirror.
2017 Cadillac XT5 - Release Date
The XT5's inside is one lavish swath of sewed calfskin cladding the dash, console, entryway boards, and seats. Surfaces that look like cowhide, softened cowhide, wood, aluminum, or carbon fiber are really made of those materials. The same can be said of hard-plastic boards, which fortunately are few in number and situated underneath knee level. The move to an electronic shifter opened up space in the console for a satchel or tablet. Notwithstanding the typical force and USB plugs, an inductive telephone charger is standard. The CUE infotainment exhibit has a speedier processor and offers both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto availability.
Cadillac's best work is the XT5's flexible rearward sitting arrangement. This seat high roost parts in 40/20/40 areas and overlays about level for freight pulling. The base pad slides fore-and-toward the back 5.5 inches and the backrest tilts 12 degrees in five stages to give close limo solace to two. (U.S.A) Long secondary passages and a portal you can open by swinging a foot under the back guard give simple access. The inside console is cut out at the base to give abundant foot leeway while sliding over the secondary lounge. Shockingly the backrest and focus armrest discharges are fumblingly found and hard to utilize. When we grumbled to Cadillac engineers that backrest lift exertion was unsatisfactorily high, they recognized that this thing beat their weaknesses list and said it would be helped before client conveyances initiate in April.

text: Hi all. I'm planning on travelling in Southeast Asia for 3 months starting this April. Very interested in volunteering but any time I search online, all I get are these over-priced pachage deals. I am hoping to just go there and swing it without the middle-man. Does this sound possible, assuming I have the correct visas? Are volunteer organizations willing to give a random traveller that shows up something to do? On a related note, does anyone have any contact information for interesting volutneer opportunities? Thanks!

Almost as soon as we passed the breakwater, the R/V "Point Lobos" began to pitch in the swell, climbing briskly over the gray waves as they rolled in towards the land. I took a firmer grip on the handrail and weighed up my chances of getting through the trip without reacquainting myself with yesterday's supper.
"The ship's other name is 'Sobol Tniop'", said T. brightly. I gaped at him uncomprehendingly.
"That's what the name looks like when you're hanging over the railing and everything's upside down." he explained helpfully.

I must note: the original version of this song is a classic. It did not need to be touched.
HOWEVER, I also thoroughly enjoy this new version for 2017. I think you might too:
Sisqo says, "It was time to put some new rims on the Bugatti!" Over the years he has been asked many times to remake his 1999 hit but it wasn't until he heard JCY's version of the beat that he wanted to make it happen.
Do you dig it? Here's the original, just for old times sake:

Vastu Element Water
Vastu Shastra Humans are not separate from nature but connected to earth as a part of an interconnected web of life. The element of nature act as a whole to create and maintain an energy — the force of life. A energy efficient environment attracts many benefits and more positive opportunities. Water element is one of the strongest element of Vastu Shastra. Water is what gives life on our planet. Without it, we would not exist. Water is the essence of life. Water has always been synonymous with authority & power. The effects of a water body in a home are amazing. Our bodies and mind welcomes a cooling effect of the water.
During ancient times, water has been used as an elemental solution by the kings by placing their palaces near bodies of Water. If you look at world most capital cities today, they are either located near the water or have large rivers or lakes nearby. Majority of ocean-side and lake-side properties are usually more expensive. Water body near the house or business premises is a good placement because it keeps the energy flowing and prevents it from being "locked". Its real essence speaks of movement and the flow of life. It invites everyone to move & bend and not to stay rigid or to struggle.
Water Flow
Moving and flowing water can encourage those who come into contact with it to accept continual change and not to struggle unnecessarily in the life. Flowing water can ease tensions and allow the vibrations of the life force to enter us and nourish our aura. If properly applied, the water element can make a world of difference. Water installed into a wrong direction might have the reverse affect on you and the inhabitants of your premises.
Sources of Water element in Vastu Shastra are A stream River Pond Swimming pool, Water fountain, Waterfall, Fish Tank, Water Pot (Mangal Kalasha) and waterfall painting or any art representing water There are simple ways to use the Water element of Vastu Shastra theory to create balance, harmony and prosperity in your surrounding.
1. The body of water should not be too huge compared to the actual premises or it can energetically dominate the site and weaken the occupants growth.
2. Shape and placement of the body of water are very important. Best place according to vastu shastra is at north east zone. It should not be on the edge of north- east axis. Waterfalls and fountains create new energy flow in any environment. A well placed fountain can have a beneficial impact on any space.
3. Fish aquariums are another powerful water energizer. Fish tanks are a combination of water and living energy which stimulates the flow of new energy flow. Aquariums with fish are notorious for bringing good luck, fortune and a stream of wealth to the occupants. You will also find them in many corporate houses, hotels & restaurants.
4. Avoid placing fountain in the south east area of the house or office, which is a location of the fire element and because water puts out fire it can have a dampening effect on your finances.
5. Finally, a circulating or moving water is more powerful than stagnant water Fountains placed at the front door can also deflect negative energy from entering the home.

At Premier Aesthetic Dentistry we recommend that you rinse your mouth with water after consuming any of these stain causing food, or use a straw to sip sodas and iced tea. Please call us at (855) 656-9331 if you have any questions about foods and your dental health.
Developing healthy lifelong dental habits is the best way to prevent nearly every type of dental disease. Dr. Pelletier recommends that you brush your teeth twice a day with a good toothpaste, floss between your teeth every day, eat a balanced diet and limit your between-meal snacks.
Be sure to schedule regular dental care by calling Premier Aesthetic Dentistry at (855) 656-9331. By making smart food choices and following a healthy dental routine, you can dramatically lower your risk of developing tooth decay.
When it comes to basic dental care, Dr. Pelletier will tell you that nothing tops brushing. If you choose to use a manual toothbrush, be sure that it is small enough to reach your entire mouth easily. Also, bristles that are too firm can cause your gums to bleed. Those who prefer something a bit more convenient and comfortable might consider an electric toothbrush. Be sure the head is soft and the bristles move in a back-and-forth motion.
If you have questions about your toothbrush, call us at (855) 656-9331 and we'll be pleased to offer recommendations.

Qualifying Car Warranty Providers
With more options available than ever for obtaining a comprehensive Car Warranty, consumers are sometimes unsure of how to go about assessing both the warranty plans available to them and the providers who offer those plans. Fortunately, the process can be simplified by focusing on a few basic facts about each provider, allowing you to quickly eliminate consideration of any providers who do not seem to be a good fit, and focus your attention on those who inspire confidence in their ability to meet your needs.
Always investigate the reputation of the car warranty provider before making any sort of commitment. While name recognition is very important and does often indicate the provider is worthy of consideration, do not stop there. Check reports from consumer watchdog agencies to get some idea of how past customers perceive the servicing of their warranties. While no provider will please everyone all the time, what you hope to see is an indication that the provider does address customer concerns in a timely manner and is considered to be up front and ethical in their dealings.
You also want to focus attention on providers who are more interested in helping match your needs with their plans. Be wary of providers who make snap decisions about what you need and tend to use coercion to close the sale now. Turn your attention to providers who ask questions about your needs and readily provide direct responses to any questions you may have. Assuming those answers are what you hoped to hear, that provider is worthy of further consideration.

*Let There Be Light* was a gut wrenching movie to watch. The emotions oozed off the screen. I'm not a religious person, but I was moved to tears many times. I paid attention to the other people in the theater and saw that they were all on the same emotional roller coaster I was on.
When the movie ended, the entire theater stood up and applauded. The movie is touching, heartfelt and real. It sparked a lot of questions about my beliefs. Perhaps, I could call this movie an eye opener. I'm thinking a lot of people in the world would do well with seeing this movie. It's about humanity. It touches upon the darkness that the world is seeing right now. There is so much turmoil and hate in life lately that I really have lost hope for the world. Maybe this movie just changed my mind. Can people be saved?
That being said, I want to warn anyone experiencing a dark time in their life that this movie is in your face with sadness. If you are already emotional, it may be hard to watch the grief and sadness on the screen. I'm normally a happy person, but I walked out crying and sad.
It's a great movie — just really hard to watch. The sadness stayed with me all day, so just make sure you are in the right mindset before deciding to see this.
I do recommend this movie. There's a wonderful message to it even through the sadness.

I went to see Eidos this morning and saw a few good games that reaffirmed for us that they're steering in the direction of having a really good reputation. What I didn't notice the first time through was the Hitman 3 poster on the wall. But when running by the booth on the way to another appointment, it was nearly impossible to miss the gigantic wall poster for the third game in the series.
Of course, this irked me a little that I hadn't heard about the this yet, so I went on a quest to find out more information. After dragging one of the Eidos PR peeps from the back rooms where most of the press was taken to see demos, I quickly found out the reason that I didn't know about it was that the PR people hadn't known about it until they saw the poster that morning as well. There's some good communication for you... Unfortunately this means that they didn't have any more information for us or for you.
The only thing we do know is that the poster said coming in 2004. Look for more info after we've had the chance to put the thumbscrews to Eidos a little bit more.

USCG, Police Escort Ferry to Safety
The U.S. Coast Guard and New York Police escorted a NY Waterway ferry to safety in Manhattan after it left the Belford terminal in Middletown and began to take on water during a storm. The U.S. Coast Guard's New York Station received reports that the ferry, named the Peter Weiss, was taking on water over its side near the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge at 7:56 a.m. After the ferry left Belford, winds became stronger, and were steady at 34 knots, with gusts of 50 or more knots at times. The waves in the New York Harbor were between two and four feet. The 149 passengers were ordered to put on life jackets as a safety precaution. The Coast Guard and police met the boat near the bridge, and escorted it to Pier 11, arriving at 8:42 a.m. No injuries were reported. (Source: Asbury Park Press)

The exceptional international law faculty drew Amanda McAllister '17 to the University of Minnesota Law School. Here she has found many ways to explore and hone her strong interest in international and human rights law. "The multiple opportunities to be part of the school's legal programs have been the most valuable part of my experience," she says. "Everyone can find their place here. Even though law school is structurally competitive, there is a real emphasis on cooperation and compassion here that fosters a sense of community."
"The Human Rights program has given me the opportunities to network and perform fieldwork in Washington, D.C. and Belfast, Northern Ireland. To come out of law school with these significant and well-rounded experiences makes me feel prepared to work in this worthwhile field."

"Our primary motivations are helping people and teaching students. It's that simple," says Laura Thomas, associate professor and primary supervising attorney of the Family Law Clinic, which is expanding its reach from Hennepin, Ramsey and Anoka Counties into Dakota County. Thomas, a family law expert with extensive experience as a practitioner of family law and general civil litigation, is increasing the pipeline of cases to ensure students have rewarding, career-enhancing experiences—and to address the pressing needs of underserved communities. In July 2015, Thomas also became director of clinical education at the Law School, overseeing one of the largest clinical education programs in the country.
"Collectively, the clinics at the University of Minnesota Law School provide a range of legal representation to Minnesota's indigent and working poor. By March in any given year we have more than 400 open files. We are essentially a full-service law firm, representing our clients in asylum, bankruptcy, tax, family, criminal, juvenile justice, detention hearings and more. This breadth in practice areas echoes the business model in law firms, and it instills in our students an understanding of client service."

Everything the law cares about involves the brain, according to associate professor Francis Shen, who joined the faculty because of the robust resources and opportunities for cutting-edge neurolaw work across the University. Here, he has found a faculty that is willing to take risks and an interdisciplinary culture that promotes a special brand of collegiality.
"There isn't any better place to study science and the law than the University of Minnesota. Increasingly, it's becoming important for students to have knowledge of multiple fields. Neuroscience advances offer stunning possibilities, but this promise depends on the path that is forged from lab to law. From patents to genetics to medical devices to treatment of criminals, our students can study the myriad intersections of law and science."

Does redesigning a game room count as a hackathon project? I don't know, but I couldn't have chosen a better time to join the team! 4 days in a new UX designer, I found myself knee-deep in IKEA furniture and orange paint with fellow A-teamers Jeff, Jim, Foo and Elizabeth. While our super talented developers coded, we began a 24 hour quest to create a fun, comfortable space for meeting, gaming and interviewing.
In addition to this project's cool factor, the updated decor will contribute to company morale and demonstrate to future employees how awesome it is to be a part of the AddThis family.
Here's what the room looked like before:
We didn't win the hackathon competition, but our project placed 4th in the popular vote. Here's what we came up with:

Good music but not put together well
The Curious | 09/21/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)
"I've enjoyed listening to this but I have 2 complaints that would have caused me not to buy it. One is that you have to listen to the commentary. I expected the commentary to be a separate menu selection from the actual performance. Since I only want to listen to the music straight through without commentary, this is irritating. The other is that the volume is inconsistent and jumps up. Its good music, but its feels homemade instead of like a professional production. He needs to try again."
Continuing the legacy of Sor, Giuliani, Aguado, Tarrega and
Faezal Yunus | 01/25/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I must admit that prior to this I had just heard York's Sunburst, that too played by the legendary John Williams. Sunburst's melodic beauty alone should be reason enough to whet one's appetite for more and now I know that it is just the tip of the iceberg!
This collection brings a much-needed respite from the same old repertoire performed by all eminent guitar players till date. In fact, listening to York will shed away the misnomer that good players often tend to be poor composers. He not only inspires one to play perfectly but also to compose original music.
York's compositional output has beautiful melodic quality, diverse styles that include modern as well as old influences and combines virtuosic ability to play. Bob Marley's reggae comes alive in the first track while "King Lotvin" evokes the style of medieval English times, only much more sophisticated. The disc even includes an introductory prelude for Sunburst and has Bach's Gigue from 3rd Cello Suite played with amazing control owing to an inventive alternate tuning.
Classic guitarists will love the tips he shares for playing his pieces. York's alternate tunings share the inventiveness of Aguado; his diverse compositional content far exceeds the output of even Sor and Giuliani while his melodic style is equivalent to the beauty of Barrios or Tarrega's compositions. Listen, watch, learn and get inspired!

Yellowjacket women team up with St. Vincent Healthcare to create 'Pink Zone' for cancer awareness
February 15, 2012
MSU Billings Athletics, 657-2369
Dan Carter, University Relations, 657-2269
Annual event takes on special meaning for Butte freshman
MSU BILLINGS NEWS SERVICES — Sports teams are like families. The players hang out together, travel together, laugh and cry together and celebrate together.
This weekend, the Montana State University Billings women's basketball team spreads the family umbrella even further, using the team's annual "Pink Zone" game to not only raise awareness of cancer issues, but to also help the family of one of their teammates.
The Yellowjackets will take on Seattle Pacific University in a Great Northwest Athletic Conference game at 7 p.m. at Alterowitz Gymnasium. All women will be admitted free as part of initiative, said MSU Billings Coach Kevin Woodin.
The "Pink Zone" initiative is a unified effort by the women's basketball coaches across the country to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across college campuses, in communities and beyond. Woodin and the MSU Billings players have worked with St. Vincent Healthcare and the Eva Project for the past seven years to help coordinate information and awareness. St. Vincent even purchased pink uniforms for the team two years ago as a part of the ongoing relationship and the night will feature information on breast cancer detection, research, and local support groups. Cancer survivors will be honored at halftime.
As a physical manifestation of their support, the Yellowjacket players and coaching staff will wear pink during the game. From pink shoelaces to pink fingernail polish to pink uniforms, the women's basketball team will do its part to raise awareness about breast cancer issues. Even the referees will be involved with pink whistles.
But all that pink will take on a special meaning for Quinn Peoples, an MSU Billings freshman and education major from Butte. Since 2007, she has had three family members diagnosed with cancer.
The daughter of Don and Barb Peoples, Quinn Peoples' family has done battle with cancer on a constant basis for the past five years.
Quinn's oldest sister, Marissa, was diagnosed with Mixoid Fibrous Histiocytoma (MFH) in 2007. She underwent months of chemotherapy and radiation in Seattle before undergoing a major operation to remove her tumor in 2008. The surgery was successful and Mairissa was declared cancer free. But in January 2010, the tumor returned and three more operations were necessary in the spring of 2010. Even though she was again considered cancer free, the tumor returned last month and the family is again working on a treatment plan with specialists in Seattle.
In addition, Quinn's grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time in December, 2010. This past year, her grandmother underwent surgery in Helena to remove her tumor. A week after that, her mother, Cathy, was diagnosed with breast cancer and also underwent surgery in Helena. And while she has been recovering from her surgery, continues to focus on her daughter's treatment and care.
Woodin said the monumental fight against cancer in the Peoples family inspired the team to do something different this year.
"My team and I are amazed at how they continue to keep such a positive attitude and face their cancer head on with both courage and faith," Woodin said in an outreach letter that talked about this year's "Pink Zone" game. "They are definitely a very strong family and our thoughts and prayers are with them daily."
Instead of just raising awareness, the team has been busy raising money to help the family off-set the Peoples' family's medical-related costs. The team has sold about 400 shirts whose proceeds will go to the Peoples family to assist them with their high medical expenses.
Kalli Stanhope, a guard from Glendive and the Yellowjackets' lone senior this year, said while the team takes on a variety of community-related projects during the year, the "Pink Zone" night takes on special meaning.
"This is one of our bigger games for us," she said.
For Peoples, a quiet 5-11 forward who graduated from Butte Central High School, the commitment by her teammates for her family holds deep meaning.
"They have rallied around me and made me feel that there are a lot of people behind my family in this," she said. "It's really nice."
One of the key messages to be carried by players and the healthcare community regarding cancer is early detection. With early detection through a mammogram, breast cancer can be identified and successfully treated. The St. Vincent Healthcare Eva Project provides free digital mammograms to limited-income women over 40 who would not otherwise be able to have one. Call 237-4373 for more information about the Eva Project.
For more information on the "Pink Zone" night, contact MSU Billings Athletics at 657-2369.

Peoples, from Butte, has had three family members diagnosed with cancer since 2007, including her mother and sister. Below, Peoples is shown with senior guard Kalli Stanhope.

Operational Training Sessions (OTS)
AECM organizes operational training sessions twice a year: these seminars are intended to facilitate the exchange among the middle management on specific topics.
In the course of these meetings a particular topic is dealt with in depth and the limited number of participants (between 25 to 50) allows for an informal and lively exchange, supplemented by the presence of external speakers who discuss the topics in an open and informal way, sometimes under the Chatham House Rule.
Our next OTS will take place on the 15 November 2018 in Brussels, Belgium, hosted by AECM on the issue "State Aid".

Between the mid-1890ies and the early 1940ies, Swedish brothers Carl and August Larson created a remarkable legacy of top-quality stringed instruments.
The Larson brothers invented a number of new design and construction features. Laminated bracing, the metal support rods in Prairie State instruments and the manufacturing of guitar top and back under tension were features that separated them from their contemporaries.
Now, after this brand and expertise lay dormant for more than half a century, Larson Guitars are being built again with strict adherence to the innovative principles and concepts created by the Larsons roughly a hundred years ago. All the beautiful little details that made Larson guitars special back then will inspire and delight the players of today's reissues.
Enjoy remarkable, carefully handcrafted instruments that display the sound, character and design of the original Larson guitars.
The History of the Larsons
Between the mid-1890ies and the early 1940ies, Carl and August Larson - emigrated from Sweden to the US - created a remarkable legacy of top-quality stringed instruments. This is their story.
This is how we build them
Here is a small video to show you how we build the new Larson guitars in our French workshop at Maurice Dupont's. You will see a few differences compared to mainstream guitar manufacturing... enjoy!

Hard-rocking, Unique, Catchy, but Powerful, band...
Robert J. Schneider | Tacoma, WA USA | 04/12/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)
"The very first time I heard my very first song by Honeymoon Suite, I stood up and took notice. The year was 1984, the radio station was WAPP back in New York, and the song was "New Girl Now." I was majorly impressed. (That was right after I had said, "Honeymoon WHO?") After all, the song is a unique combination of British-sounding pop, Canadian hard rock, and American new wave. This was a band that proudly wore all of its influences on its sleeve!Just as I was getting into this song, I saw the incredible video for the band's next single "Burning In Love." I was again very impressed, as I really liked the song while noticed that it did not sound anything like the previous song.Well, to make a long story short, I eventually purchased this CD (as well as the follow-up "The Big Prize") and I must day that Honeymoon Suite, after all these years, still rocks, still rolls, and is still a very unique band in the history of rock 'n' roll. If you have heard just "New Girl Now" and are wondering whether or not to purchase this CD, do yourself a favor and buy it!"
Memorable Rock Music That's Timeless
Gus Mauro | Brandon,mb | 04/24/2003

"Honeymoon Suite hit the mark with their impressive debut album
with intense, catchy tunes that the lyrics just seem to roll right off your tounge. "New Girl Now" "Burning In Love"
"Stay In The Light" Are the highlights of this canadian rock classic. What differs Honeymoon Suite from other hard rock canadian acts is that their music has certain type of appeal
that is never ending still to this day you can hear their music on the radio. I've also seen them in concert in Toronto a long while back it's amazing to see the same intensity they have in
their music transformed to the live show it was an unbelvable
experience. Along with other bands like Rush, Triumph, Loverboy
Red Rider, Honeymoon Suite Deserves a place in the rock n roll
hall of fame for making Canadian Rock Music A force to reckon
It is ok, but not great
K. Tock | Brookfield, WI United States | 03/28/2010
(3 out of 5 stars)
"Short and sweet, this is an ok CD with ok songs, New Girl Now is what this CD is all about, unless you are a huge fan of 80's metal music, and I mean huge, this cd is just ok, 3 songs are pretty good the rest mediocre. My advice, listen to all the songs then decide if ya want it. I bought it as I have a giant collection of music and never had this on Vinyl so the price was right and it appears to be going out of print, but it is not a must have."
